Sacred Sound and Tea Ceremony
~••~SACRED SOUND BATH~••~ A Sacred Sound Bath is a live, immersive, meditative experience which works acoustically on your brain, body, and soul. As you sit or lie down with eyes closed, sound vibrations wash over you, taking you on an expansive inward journey. Similar to meditation, sound baths stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system. You'll leave feeling relaxed, centered, energized, and uplifted. Sound Healing is an ancient-modern practice which comes in many forms across all cultures. ~ HEART CHAKRA TEA CEREMONY~ A Heart Chakra Tea Ceremony is an opportunity to connect with yourself and open your heart. Each chakra has a variety of herbs and flowers that stimulate and activate the chakras. Tea Ceremonies are a way to immerse into the power of the present, and increase your connection to your inner self and your heart chakra. The Ceremony aids in any transformational shift you are working towards, whether you are looking to deepen your understanding of who you are, release old patterns and traumas, or move into a more self-confident space. It is your bridge for self reflection, healing, and inward expansion.
Snow play and hot cocktails Big Bear
What’s better than a snowy day playing in freshly fallen snow in the Big Bear wilderness? If your adventure guide brings cocktails of course! Aside from being your nature guide on this trip to the best place for you and your family to play in the snow, I also provide Bailey’s with coffee for the adults, which is my favorite thing to drink while frolicking in the snow. Our tour begins at a snowy place in the Big Bear Valley. This can be a different location based on how much snow we have on a particular day. From there I will guide you to one of the prettiest snowy wilderness areas for great family photos, a short snowy hike & snow play. All these places are a local's secret & for the most part not crowded. In these times of Covid it's a safer alternative to crowded snow play areas with tons of tourists. There’s a great little hike we can do to an amazing viewpoint to get snowy family photos to start the tour. It’s about half a mile each way. From there I will show you some nice hills for sledding &pretty areas for snow play. I’ll hang out with your group for an hour to an hour & a half to answer any questions you might have about the Big Bear area and show you the best places to play in the snow, take great photos with snowy views etc. Dogs are welcome on this hike. Please bring your own sleds. (I do not provide sleds as they often break) Great for groups & team building.
Touched by a Llama
Even before you enter the gate the Llamas will be checking you out, the goats will cry out a welcome. When you enter their corral you might be wary of their size, and you will be amazed at their speed as they run around to show off their long strides. After they run for you, we will show you how to hold the llama pellets in your hand as the llamas use their oddly grippy lips to pick up the pellets. The llamas love the pellets and they will take turns visiting each feeder. Once they have eaten all the pellets, we spread some hay for the llamas to graze on and everything becomes peaceful and silent. You hear the wind in the trees, the call of the quail, the gentle sound of hay being mashed into cud. When you look up you notice you are surrounded by the desert, the Sawtooth and Joshua Tree mountains to the South, the ancient volcanic Black Mesa to the West, and Johnson valley stretching endlessly North. Throughout this experience your hosts will educate you on all things llama, and snap pictures of you so you can share this magic with friends, family, and followers. Experience last about an hour. NOTE: you must be 18 yrs or older. Other things to note There may be up to 6 people participating in a feeding.

Private Natural Hot Spring Excursion
We'll meet you at our hidden desert location and guide you to the private, natural mineral hot springs for your 2 hours of soothing soaking. We'll take a short trail flanked by the distant San Bernardino mountain range as we traverse the unique desert flora and discuss the origins of the natural mineral hot springs.

Fresh, untouched 102-degree mineral water fills the tubs and constantly replenishes at a rate you control. At this point, we leave you to slip into your bathing suit behind privacy blinds, and then slide into the awaiting tubs. You will quickly feel the odorless thermae begin to work its magic, delivering life-giving minerals that soothe and relax the body. During your soak, you will have plenty of privacy on the expansive 20-acre property, and, in case you would need anything, we do remain close enough to be accessible. As the experience comes to a close, we will escort you back to the entrance, refreshed and revived with the power of the ancient waters.
Astrology Reading and Sound Journey
“As Above, So Below”. This experience brings this ancient axiom into light as participants will be lead through an explorative journey of the intimate connection between the Macrocosm-Microcosm using Astrology and Sound Healing. We will start with a discussion that will tune our awareness to the current planetary alignments of the zodiac and how they might be influencing us by way of Transpersonal Astrology. This is meant to help guests create an intention to explore as they move through their sound journey. Following this, participants will be immersed in several different soundscapes created by 3 Planetary Gongs, accompanied by a variety of other complimentary healing instruments. These Gongs are tuned to the frequency of the orbital speed of the planets in our sky and transmit to us their celestial energies and cosmic intelligence through sound and vibration. These vibrations will both surround the listeners and actively move through their bodies, connecting all the parts of one's Being-ness to the infinite wisdom of nature and the cosmos. A truly unique and universal experience that will open the minds and hearts of each listener leaving them with a sense of revitalization, rest, and renewal.

Experience Amazing Horsehair Raku
This 2-hour experience allows each guest to pick from a variety of pre-made pots. Horsehair "Raku" during the experience uses a technique of applying horsehair, feathers, and/or sawdust to red hot pots. The carbon in these items transfer suddenly to the pot and are permanent. This method is eye-popping and amazing. Any age can do it. I recommend children be at least 10 and able to be respectful to other guests. I am sometimes a little corny, but very capable of sharing the How-To's, mixed with some history and other uses of clay. I am very good at coaching, and helping guest achieve a decorated raku pot that they are excited to take home. This is the kind of experience that will be fondly remembered for a lifetime.
Private Tarot Reading & Cacao Tonic
In the intimate setting of my High Desert home, we will explore the hidden messages that dwell within the Tarot. A Tarot card reading is a form of cartomancy whereby practitioners use Tarot cards to gain insight into the past, present or future. Guests will start by drinking a cup of Ceremonial Cacao. Cacao energetically is a heart-opener allowing access to deeper states of emotional and spiritual information. It also contains the neurotransmitters, serotonin, tryptophan and dopamine, which assists with feelings of well-being. This should allow a space of calm, relaxation and further insight to envelope the participants so we can move gently into the Tarot reading. I will then guide you through a gentle mediation to assist you in finding a question pertaining to a situation or circumstance that you may seek further clarity on. Then you the guest will formulate this question and I will then draw five cards in a traditional spread and interpret their meanings and symbology. This experience should be interactive, fun and informative.
