ABOUT JACQUI

Jacqui guides you to rediscover the conversations your body has been trying to have with your for years.

Drawing from decades of movement practice and an intuitive understanding of how protective patterns form, she creates containers where your nervous system can finally exhale. Her approach isn't about perfect alignment or pushing through—it's about learning to dialogue with your body's wisdom.

In her sessions, you'll discover how to tell your grip patterns "I'm safe now, you have permission to let go." You'll learn that taking up more space—physically and energetically—isn't selfish, it's necessary. And you'll remember that you don't have to go to your max in all things to create lasting change.

Why work with Jacqui? She doesn't teach you poses—she teaches you to listen. Jacqui helps you hear what your body is actually asking for. You'll leave knowing how to adjust your own intensity, trust your own signals, and move through life from a place of inner knowing rather than external pressure.

This is movement as a conversation.

Join David Kennet for an immersive evening designed to recalibrate the nervous system and awaken the deep intelligence of sound within. This Harmonic Reset is a sound meditation intended to carry you beyond thought and into the architecture of your own healing.

Through a live soundscape blending overtones, sacred intervals, and intentional frequencies, David creates a field of deep coherence. In this space, what has been stored such as grief, tension, or memory may rise, not to overwhelm, but to be heard, held, and harmonized. Silence then follows as a gentle integration, allowing the body and spirit to reset.

You will emerge renewed, centered, spacious, and attuned to a deeper harmony within.

In this event, Seshen weaves the sound of clear quartz crystal singing bowls and pyramids with her voice, listening to the stillness within all things. The music she offers will be created in the moment, attuning to our shared field, in gratitude and reverence to nature and all our relations, holding the prayer, “May we return Home.”

At the beginning of the sound offering, there will be a guided meditation that supports us to arrive in our body, the present moment, and the healing field that is within and around us. A short closing circle for integration will be followed at the end.

“Beyond all the stories and conditionings which we believe we carry and need to mend, there is a pathway through which we access the mystical messages of our soul, reminding us of our origin that is infinite and whole—the memory of who we truly are.”
