upcoming gatherings
every gathering feels different
but each one brings you a little closer to your soul.
Ceremonial Cacao
*by columbian artist sara loaiza (co-founder of gaia-nomaya)
& Jeffrey Connors (eljeffre)
March 7, 2026
ceremonial cacao is one of the oldest heart-opening medicines on earth. theobromine opens the blood vessels. magnesium quiets the mind. and somewhere between the first sip and the last breath, the part of you that's been clenching all week finally lets go.
facilitators
sara: soulful alchemist from medellín, colombia. co-creator of gaia nomaya. she works with cacao, breath, sound, and ceremony and she does it like she was born in a circle.
jeffrey connors: multi-instrumentalist and sound healer based in new york. his bowls don't perform for you. they meet you wherever you are.
Sound Bath & Reiki
*by nicole rutsch (instructor at alo wellness club
& co-founder of alchemy sound studio)
March 28, 2026
sound baths use frequencies that shift your brainwaves from beta to theta the same state right before sleep. heart rate drops. cortisol falls. and the part of you that's been running all day finally stops.
facilitator
nicole rutsch: reiki master and sound healer based in new york. instructor at alo wellness club, co-founder of alchemy sound studio. she doesn't guide you somewhere — she creates the space for you to arrive.
live music
* by a grammy-winning broadway artist and his wife
a grammy award-winning broadway artist. guitar and piano. in a living room. no stage,
no distance. just sound moving through a room of 25 people. and somewhere between the first note and the last, the noise in your head goes quiet.
facilitator
special guest. artist to be announced.
roast yourself
*will be moderated by Jason Shuman
roasting yourself is one of the most meditative things you can do. it asks you to look at your ego, your insecurities, the stories you tell yourself and instead of fighting them, you laugh at them.
