The Fire Horse Awakens:
Sound & Plant Medicine Journey

Join us for a Sound Journey experience in the Topanga mountains.
Hosted by Christina Issa & Daniel Klein

What is a Sound Journey?
A sound journey is a deeply healing ceremonial experience designed to help you go inward deepen mind-body-soul connection.
We weave a tapestry of sound - harmonic-overtone instruments like Tibetan singing bowls, gong, chimes and much more with select music, live singing - into a backdrop for exploring your inner world. Entering into a deeper and more expansive state of heightened awareness, you are invited to practice the art of deep listening through the healing frequencies of sound, resonance and plant medicine.
In a world full of noise, distraction and disconnection, a sound journey is a an act of rebellion. It’s an opportunity to practice presence, going inward with awareness to re-connect to yourself, your body and your truths.
We open begin with breath and visualization exercises before flowing into approximately 5 hours of sound and music. Afterward: a nourishing meal, sharing circle, and light connection before departure.

WHY THE FIRE HORSE? WHY NOW?
The Fire Horse Lunar year is a powerful amplifier of everything we carry inside of us. How deeply we recognize and relate to our stories, visions, fears, and dreams determines what we call into our reality. A Sound journey is an opportunity to quiet the mind, ebbing and flowing between moments of stillness and insight. That’s how you hear what only becomes audible with heightened, conscious awareness - the stored feelings, memories, visions - all living in your psyche and body. By weaving sound, voice, plant medicine, and expert facilitation, we provide a sanctuary space for doing your deepest inner work yet.
THE DONATION IS $375

A sound journey is a time for you to go inward while being supported by the space-holding of experienced facilitators.
Sound and music will be playing for approximately 5 hours. The event is held like a group meditation and the intention is to remain in your inner journey with an eye-mask. Daniel and Christina are there to assist and provide support as needed.
After the sound portion of the journey is over, we flow into sharing and reflections, song circle and light socializing and dinner.

We work with a very special, all-natural and locally grown/harvested plant from the Topanga mountains.
Every participant will have a call with myself and Daniel as standard screening where we can provide more details about this potent earth medicine.

This is not an overnight stay, there is an arrival and departure time.

It is never mandatory but highly recommended to do intentional integration work, particularly for first timers with the medicine. Integration supports your processing of the experience in a structured, safe and beneficial way that will deepen how much you get from the journey.
