This is a MINKA x Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health Partnership Offering—Created to Bring Efforts of Equity, Diversity, and Decolonizing Work to All. 

In this session, participants are guided utilizing Usui Reiki, other forms of energetic healing frequencies and the ancient tradition of the indigenous Turtle Island Drum. The sound of the drum is said to connect us with the spirits and ancestors for healing and guidance. This session can be experienced as a combination of sound healing, energy healing, indigenous forms of hypnosis and guided visualization. The goal is to restore the balance of energy to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being through the transmission of universally healing energy. Everything offered in this class is an invitation and suggestion, and each participant can choose how they want to engage in this space as long as the safety of the online space is not compromised for the members of the learning community.

The session includes:

• Brief check-in, during which all participants are asked to be present on screen for the creation of a sacred community container.

• Activation of the energetic healing in the space, which each participant can decide to engage in or not—we all are sovereign energetic beings, and your wish is always honored whether externally expressed or not.

• Pulling of an oracle card as part of the intention setting for the community—you can choose to pull your own card to create a focus, or you can choose not to include any of this in your experience.

• Introductory guidance into the meditative experience. Based on the energy of the space, I may choose to guide the participants verbally partially or entirely.

• Live or recorded indigenous drum sound This session is best experienced in:

Paying it Forward
We provide most of our community offerings and private sessions by sliding scale. This is based on the idea of ‘paying it forward’ which enables more people to access healing and wellness. This works when people pay as much as they can for our offerings to help others who may be less fortunate be able to gain access, too. We believe everyone is entitled to heal and thrive, and that practitioners deserve to earn a living wage. We are all in this together and choose to do our best to take care of one another. Thank you for being part of the MINKA community!
