What we’re about

Existence is weird. This is a group for those seeking Truth, but never saying they have found it. We are those who value kindness, communication, peace, and love. We care about our physical, mental, spiritual, community wellbeing and most of all, we value each other. Most of us are simply trying to make sense out of this life, but never actually do.

All of our events are based on learning, connecting, joy, healing, spirituality, and wellness. All of our events are SOBER. We are a community and it takes a community to make these events happen so please come and be a part!

Events will be hosted by several practitioners:

  • Water Shepherd of Third Eye Integration, hosts events as part of our community outreach program. We believe everyone should have access to a safe community where we can come together in a very conscious way to create the world we want. We host events at the Empower House Community Gathering Space where all people are accepted and loved. We believe when people feel safe and supported, they will naturally practice kindness, feel better, increase their motivation and focus and have a reduction in anxiety, stress and depression. Did you know Third Eye Integration is a corporate consulting agency? We specialize in organizational wellness to create a thriving workplace culture! Ask how we can work with your company to provide culture evaluation, workshops, training and employee wellness services! For more information, go to https://www.thirdeyeintegration.com or call Water Shepherd at 623-986-3987. We have events that are paid and other ones that are contribution-based. All money donated has transparent use and pays for cacao, propane and the garden upkeep. We always accept donations of soil, mulch, seeds, plants and garden supplies. Please help us keep these events happening by making a donation at the event, through the registration app, through this Meetup group, through venmo @Water-Shepherd or PayPal @paypalme/thirdeyeintegration.
  • Lucy Lourdes Escbr Bldrn, a Sound Practitioner, yoga teacher, Reiki practitioner, and mindfulness guide devoted to guiding others back to wholeness through the ancient arts of vibration, ceremony, and ancestral healing. I work with sacred sound, the power of plants, especially heart-opening cacao, and the wisdom carried through our bloodlines to create immersive journeys of deep rest, emotional release, and remembrance. Through ancient instruments, sacred song, and the medicine of our ancestors, I weave spaces where healing ripples across time, honoring the connections that flow through our lineages. A lover of music, animals, people, and cultures, I am passionate about guiding others through the healing power of dance and mindful movement. My work is a bridge between worlds, honoring the seen and unseen forces that guide us home to our truest nature. I guide weekly public and private events across the Valley. I always welcome the opportunity to connect with others.
  • Please share this group with others and together, let's raise our vibration!

  • New Moon Dharma Talk and Cacao Meditation

    New Moon Dharma Talk and Cacao Meditation

    Location not specified yet

    ***Please click here and REGISTER on Eventbrite for address***

    To clear up any confusion, registration on Eventbrite is required. Saying "Going" on Meetup is not registration.

    Join us for a New Moon event! Come and gather together, open your eyes, your mind and your heart as we explore the void together. The Sunygata (the void/emptiness) is expressed as no ego/no self in the Great Wisdom Heart Sutra from the Wisdom Sutras. It is the acceptance of things as they are. This is the truest expression of unconditional Love. We will be doing a talk and meditation regularly on the new moon (representation of the void). It is an untraditional "Dharma Talk," meaning that teachings will extend not only from Buddhist traditions, but will also include Sufi, Taoist and Hindu Traditions and Western and Yogic Philosophies. The new moon is a void waiting to be filled. It is a time for you to set intentions for what you would like to create in the upcoming new month and reflect on what you would like to let go of. Each month will be different. Come experience.

    Event Details:

    IMPORTANT NOTE: We recommend arriving at 6:45pm as the gates will close at 7pm. Please show up ON TIME by 7pm so we don’t have interruptions to our connection and our process.

    ***PLEASE BRING A MUG IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CACAO!***

    • REGISTRATION - Please register for the event to have a smooth check-in. Exact address will be provided via email after registration through the Humanitix app.
    • CONTRIBUTION-BASED EVENT - We are a community and it takes a community to make these events happen. Cost per person - Donation. We believe that everyone should have access to these teachings and will never charge a set admission for these dharma talks. That said, we do incur costs so please consider helping so we can continue to offer these events. We always welcome contributions of plants, soil, containers and other gardening supplies for the community garden and of course monetary donations are extremely appreciated. Will you consider donating? All monetary contributions are 100% put toward this community space! Any contributions can be paid through the registration app, in person at the event or through Venmo - @Water-Shepherd
    • PARTICIPATION: Any volunteers to help set up and clean up are appreciated! Additionally, if you would like to be part of the "garden team" to keep the grounds looking beautiful on a regular basis, please contact Water.
    • ENVIRONMENT: This is an outdoor space! The ground is uneven and there are wood chips/mulch. Wear good shoes. Dress for the weather. We will have cushions to sit around the fire in the Portal of Consciousness (a concrete conversation pit dug into the earth). The first step is deep and there are no handrails. If you need help going up and down, please ask. If you have an unsteady gait, or have any other difficulty, please sit on the benches on the outside of the pit instead and do not attempt to go into the pit by yourself. We have a fire pit for the winter and in the hot summer months, there is an option to jump in the pool if you would like to do that. Please bring a swimsuit and a towel. Please refrain from wearing oil-base sunscreen or other products prior to using the pool. We also do our best to mitigate mosquitos, but DIY natural based spray is available if needed. The pool and pond are unfenced. This is probably not a good event for young children as we will be sitting and talking for 2 hours. Please leave your animals at home. This is a smoke free, meat free, and sober space.

      THANK YOU!!!!
    • ***Cacao ingredients are all organic and contains cacao, MCT oil, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, black pepper, cardamom, garam masala, and cayenne pepper. No sweetener or milk is added, so our cacao is bitter and spicy! All ingredients are organic. Why are we mixing a Meso-american tradition with other philosophies? Because the benefits of cacao with the heart-opening affects create the embodied environment that may be beneficial for receiving the messages within these helpful teachings. All is Sacred.
