- Balancing the Masculine: A Shamanic Hypnosis & Sound JourneyThe YURT, Richmond , CA
Balancing the Masculine: A Shamanic Hypnosis & Sound Journey
There is a deep imbalance in the collective field—born of distortions and excesses of masculine, yang energy. This misalignment manifests as stress, urgency, control, and disconnection, both personally and globally. It fuels anxiety, exhaustion, and a loss of rootedness in the sacred masculine—whose true essence is directional, protective, generous, and clear.
Join us for an evening of Shamanic Hypnosis and Sound Healing, a guided inward journey to meet the parts of ourselves shaped by this imbalance. What within you has been overdriven or shut down? What masculine wounds are ready to be seen, healed, or released? Where can you reclaim the healthy gifts of yang—focus, structure, strength, and purpose?
As always, sound will be woven into our journey, offering vibrational support for deep release and energetic realignment. This is a space for all beings to explore the masculine principle within and around us, and to participate in a collective prayer for healing and balance.Wednesday, June 25 | 6:30 – 8:00/8:30 PM
The YURT – 6263 Bernhard Ave., Richmond, CA 94805
Sliding Scale: $20 / $30 / $40Facilitated by Jnana Gowan, shamanic practitioner and certified transpersonal hypnotist, with decades of experience guiding others into non-ordinary states for healing, clarity, and soul alignment.
This session is designed to help you:
- Release heavy energy that no longer serves your path
- Harvest wisdom from the expansive portal of your heart
- Find clarity, resilience, and direction in uncertain times
What to Expect:
Through a gentle group hypnosis process, you’ll access your inner world—memories, sensations, emotions, or symbols that may arise from soul or past-life perspectives. This journey is always guided by your higher wisdom. You may reconnect with ancient strengths, receive insight, and release unresolved energy that no longer belongs in your life.Important Note: Space is limited and a few seats remain—pre-registration is required.
