Have you ever wondered...?How to gracefully transcend the challenges presented in 2020?How to unlock the doors to our greatest potential? How to manifest the life we were born to live?Now more than ever we are being called to Wonder. We're being tested on every level. Yet there is beauty in the unknown – a quiet surrender, a return to nature, a connection to God. What we experience this year for Winter Solstice 2020 will mark a new beginning. On the darkest day of the year, during the darkest year of our lives, we'll ignite the light within. As the sun is rebirthed, so too, will we. As we journey back to Source, in sacred land, a true soul friendship with our Selves, with Mother Earth, and with others will take root. With our wonder hats on, we’ll ask big life questions and remember all there is to be grateful. We'll emerge wondering about the miracles of life where Grace, Joy and Freedom prevail. Please join us for a very special, intimate, in-person SoulJour Experience to honor winter solstice. This experience takes place at NamaStay Retreat Center just outside Zion National Park in Springdale, UT and features a sunrise hike, a soundscape yoga journey, a guided meditation and writing activity, lunch and live music.

Significance of the ButterflyThe butterfly represents transformation, rebirth, renewal, impermanence of the mind. Butterflies teach us to recognize change as it arrives – to welcome it vs. fear it. They represent courage and remind us to trust the process of moving through the phases of life with our newfound wings – and fly! Help Us Grow a ForestIn 2020 we’ve partnered with TreeSisters – an organization we believe is doing great things in the world! TreeSisters works to empower local communities in remote areas, by contributing to the reforestation of tropical areas decimated by fires and clearcutting. About the PresentersEduardo Ballestros, Sound Healer & Activator, Yoga Teacher Eduardo received his crystal bowl training directly from Paul Utz, the founder of Crystal Tones. Adding the singing bowls to his spiritual practice has been life changing. With every crystal bowl session, he feels he's as blessed as much as those who come for healing. Eduardo’s crystal singing bowls are made of 99.9% pure quartz crystal. They are infused with only the finest gemstones and precious metals. In the hands of a master, these bowls sing like angels. Their pure, vibrant tones, along with Eduardo’s intuitive playing, create a euphoric world. It’s like stepping into a sound chamber of healing vibrations that revitalize the mind, body, and spirit, and leaves you feeling amazing. Eduardo has a daily practice of praying, meditating, greeting the sun every morning outdoors because those first rays of light are potent.
