A very warm welcome to Whole Life Studio from Simon and I, Surya Leigh Whole Life Studio is our home studio and secondary space for my private psychotherapy practice. The vision we bring is to hold space for people to gather for healing, spiritual connection, community, ritual and for personal growth. It is a place of sound and silence, for individual and community and for the wholeness of life to be expressed in creative and intentional ways. I also have a practice in Psychotherapy at Whole Life Psychotherapy at my Walkerton office. Whole Life Studio is an expansion of my private practice and the studio provides additional therapy space for individuals and groups. We look forward to connecting at the studio.
Upcoming Sound Bath Dates for: Sound Journey and Guideposts for Life Please join the series of Sound Baths (come for one or come for them all) over the next 10 months. The Sound Journey and Guideposts for Life series is inspired by the work of Brené Brown. Next Sound Bath: July 18th 4:30pm-5:45pm $25 Cash at the door or e-transfer to [email protected] Please pre-register for Sound Baths on the contact pageand indicate the month you will be attending. It has been a pleasure having Rosemary Crick join in the last two Sound Baths with her beautiful voice and cello. I am pleased to say that she will continue to join in when she is able for upcoming Sound Baths. I always bring a theme to each Sound Bath and love to weave intention and sound together. The next 10 Sound Baths will be a journey that is themed around guideposts that Brené Brown outlines in her book The Gifts of Imperfection. Let go of who you think you’re supposed to be and embrace who you are. Reading the book is not required as each guidepost will be introduced at the beginning of the Sound Journey. The guidepost will act as a guiding principle. It will provide an opportunity for participants to bring intention to the Sound Bath around the Guidepost of focus. Entering into a deeper state of consciousness can be facilitated by Mindfulness and Sound coming together. Sound Baths can create a pause, rest and liminal space for the emergence of a new relationship to a thought, idea or belief. Old patterns can be seen in a new light allowing new ways to come in. In addition to the guideposts, I will bring breath work, somatic awareness, intention setting, and sound to explore non ordinary states of consciousness. The transition from the Sound to waking consciousness includes re-connecting with the guidepost, finding voice, integration, and of course, chocolate.
