We are forever seeking to reclaim what has been taken, broken, or challenged, by our lives in our journey in becoming truly who we are and meant to be.

Healing our heart is at the core of spiritual transformation. We seek it and offer it as we develop in our lives. This emotion shapes our souls. Do we have it, have we received it, has it hurt us or even broken our sense of self. This is a gathering to bring love, mercy, and healing in recovering your soul from issues of deep sadness in the name of love.

Families are our foundation. Parents are our touchstones. Siblings our tribe. We have all discovered they are our roots to ancestors and our DNA. How does this bring to us who we are and become? When we ask for spirit to join us so many times it is requesting these loved ones to speak to us, remember us, and remind us we are loved. This gathering brings us together as love surrounds us all.

What is our Spirit? This gathering offers us the chance to feel who we are, our light, our color, vibration and frequency. Our spirit is the flame. We will look at past lives, energies, and vibrations for healing and brightening our Spirit from where it was affected by our life’s encounters. When did we shine, when was our light taken, how do we recover and continue when in doubt? Healing the Spirit brightens our lives.

If Spirit is our flame, then Soul is our candle, the torch we carry in each life time. It creates our base each lifetime we enter. It holds the story for us to continue, recreate, keep promises, or make them. It also offers us the opportunity to complete stories we have laced through lifetimes in need to be resolved. Healing and mercy bring the alchemy for the magic of your life force in finding our way into your light.
