Sound healing, Meditation & Connection in Dublin 12
THIS SESSION IS FULL NOW
Sunday 5th of July give yourself the gift of sound & stillness✨💜
This immersive sound journey is a sacred space to pause, reflect, and consciously set intentions.
Small group sessions are held in my home Sanctuary in Dublin 12.
This is a payed session a 30 euros energy exchange applies, to confirm your attendance you must email to info@soundsouljourney.com and a 10 euros deposit must be payed
A Sound Journey is a deeply restorative experience designed to harmonize your energy, promote relaxation, and facilitate healing.
What to Expect in the Session:
Gentle Pranayama (Breathwork) – We begin with simple breathing exercises to open the energy channels (nadis) in the body, preparing you to receive the benefits of sound and Reiki. This helps calm the nervous system and cultivate a state of presence.
Guided Meditation with Sound & Vibrations – As you settle into relaxation, you will be guided through a meditation accompanied by the soothing tones of Tibetan bowls. Their vibrations help bring balance to your energy centers (chakras) and deepen your meditative state
Himalayan Bowl Healing – the sound healer will use Himalayan bowls near or on the body, allowing the vibrations and specific frequencies to work at a cellular level restoring balance to you fisical, emotional and mental levels
Closing Sound Bath – The session concludes with an immersive sound bath, where a combination of instruments—such as Tibetan bowls, chimes, gongs, drums ...—create a soothing soundscape, allowing your mind and body to fully integrate the healing experience.
By the end of the session we'll enjoy a cup of yogi tea, time to share, connect and integrate the practice.
No previous experience is needed, just bring your intention and I'll provide everything else
love & light

COUNT RMH Housewarmer Volunteering (Ronald McDonald House)
Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process.
Fast track
• Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell).
• Show up and try it out.
• Complete application, etc. later.
Normal process
• Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/).
• Attend orientation in advance.
• At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility.
• Complete one training shift. Daily shifts are: morning 9 AM - 1 PM, afternoon 1 - 5 PM and evening 5 - 9 PM.
• Schedule shifts online using the on the RMH scheduling system (http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/?FROM=32895).
The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014.
Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.
COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above.
There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change.
The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/).
Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers.
For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
