About the event
Just before Mother’s Day, this event offers a sacred opportunity to connect with the divine feminine and the nurturing energy of the Great Mother. Whether you seek deep restoration, inner wisdom, or a profound sense of connection, this journey through sound invites you to surrender into the embrace of the cosmic womb.
Come explore the multiverse within you. Riding on waves of sacred sound from Ruby Koa’s planetary gongs to the surreal voice and archetypal music of Cosmic Throat Singer Matthew Kocel, this is an opportunity to experience your multidimensional self in a safe container… without relying on substances.
The effect is often compared to plant medicines.
Imagine floating in an ocean of sacred sound...vibration so profound it seems to bend
the very fabric of time & space.
“Matthew Kocel’s music is so primal, so rich and brilliantly soulful... It touches us
on a profoundly deep level and opens our hearts..." - Dr Joe Dispenza
Waking dreams,“aha” moments, extra-ordinary sensations, and physical healing are
commonly reported by people attending Matthew’s events.
His voice resonates to the core of your being…It’s hard to imagine these tones come from a human.
“Words seem so deficient for explaining the depth of experience... I was being
moved by sound, my whole body was light and vibrating.”
- Vancouver Yoga Review
We also have the benefit of having intuitive energy work practitioner Saralee Sky present to offer gentle energetic support to the group during the event to enhance the experience with Reiki and other healing modalities.
