You May Recognize Yourself Here
Meaningful connection enriches every aspect of our lives. Yet in today's fast-paced world, many people find themselves feeling less connected—to themselves, to others, or to the deeper sense of purpose and belonging that gives life richness.
It's possible to feel alone in a crowded room, misunderstood in a relationship, or disconnected even while surrounded by people who care. For those who spend much of their lives supporting others—including healthcare professionals, caregivers, teachers, first responders, community leaders, parents, and many others—these feelings can be especially easy to overlook while caring for everyone else. Yet the invitation is the same for all of us: to reconnect with ourselves in ways that naturally enrich every relationship.
What if lasting connection begins somewhere deeper? What if greater peace in our relationships begins with greater peace within ourselves?
Join Terry McGill for an experiential evening exploring a fresh perspective on connection and the quiet shifts that can open new possibilities in everyday life.
As connection deepens, you may notice:- More peace, clarity, and resilience in everyday life.
- How strengthening your relationship with yourself influences your relationships with others.
- A deeper sense of belonging, purpose, and inner harmony.
Complimentary 30-Minute Consultation
If you recognize yourself here and feel called to explore more deeply, I warmly invite you to schedule a complimentary 30-minute consultation. Together, let's explore what is waiting to emerge.
Terry McGill has offered workshops at New Renaissance since 2009 and offers Akashic Record readings several times a month at the bookshop, or by phone if you would rather not drive there.

Restore the Sacred Bond Between You and Your Bloodline
Alexander Dmytruk, Sunday, July 26, 6:30-8PM
Sliding Scale Ticket: $20–$35SIGN UP HERE: Purchase tickets here!
Many of us know little about our ancestral landscape beyond a few generations. In this guided meditation, Entering the Tree, you'll discover that before healing can begin, connection must first be restored. Together, we'll begin reconnecting with your lineage—its strengths, its wisdom, and the patterns it's time to release.
Through quiet reflection and visualization, you'll begin developing a living relationship with your ancestral landscape while gaining a clearer understanding of the lineage that supports you. No prior meditation or ceremonial experience is necessary—just a willingness to sit quietly and turn your attention inward. The session runs approximately 45–60 minutes and includes time for sharing and reflection afterward.
This is contemplative, reflective work rather than therapy. Because exploring family and ancestry can surface real emotion, you're encouraged to move at your own pace. You're always welcome to pause, rest, or step outside at any time.
You'll leave with a deeper connection to your ancestral roots and a greater awareness of the wisdom, resilience, and support carried through your lineage, creating a foundation for continued healing, reconnection, and self-discovery.
Alexander Dmytruk is a shamanic practitioner, astral healer, and Qigong teacher based in Portland. Through his practice ASCEND, he facilitates ancestral healing, lineage restoration, and initiatory spiritual development. He is the author of Year's Kaleidoscope, a living path of soulful transformation.1 attendee

Come gather in singing sacred names and shared devotion. Kīrtan is a joyful, heart opening call and response chanting practice that uplifts the spirit, invites connection within ourselves, with each other and with the divine. All voices welcome, exactly as you are, no experience needed
Based in Portland, Kana Hattori is a devotional singer and kīrtan leader who offers this practice as a path of joy, bliss, devotion and deep emotional honesty from lived experience and deep gratitude.
Kīrtan carried her through some of the most challenging seasons of her life, becoming a source of strength, refuge, trust and renewal.
Now she shares it regularly in community, holding gentle, heart-centered spaces where all voices are welcome.
Rooted in Bhakti, guided by heart, her offerings invite others to connect deeply within themselves, with each other and with the sacred, and to discover the joy, healing that awaken when we sing together, remembering that our own voices are medicine, and that devotion can be both powerful and tender.1 attendee- $25.00

Join us for a restful and healing end of week Raven Medicine Sound Bath.
The Raven – revered across shamanic traditions as a powerful messenger between worlds, master of transformation, keeper of secrets, and harbinger of profound change – is my guide, and our guiding light for this work.
- Grounding shamanic drumming to awaken.
- The ethereal tones from crystal singing bowls to carry us into our journey.
- Gentle guided intention-setting to invite personal metamorphosis, insight, and release of what no longer serves.
We will gather, set our prayers and intentions, and then you can simply lie down (or sit comfortably) in a supported, sacred space while being enveloped in waves of healing sound and vibration.
What to expect:- Profound relaxation and nervous system reset
- Emotional release, clarity, and spiritual downloads
- Energetic cleansing and alignment
- Vibrational lightening, and auric clearing.
Let's gather in sacred sound and allow transformation to unfold.
David Silvermoon is Shamanic Crystal Sound Healer, who has been practicing the healing arts for over 20 years. He recently received guidance from his primary spiritual guide, who is a Raven, to provide sound healing for the community. He is excited to bring his healing work out into the world.1 attendee
