What to Expect...and Not... at an Event

These events will feature Michelle, Michele, and Craig as facilitators of the journey that begins with a welcome and a custom-blended Arrival Tea. After finding your relaxing zero-gravity chair in a beautifully lit studio, the journey begins with a message that transitions into well-curated sounds from live instruments, soothing electronic elements, and live vocals performed by Michelle and Craig, creating an immersive moment free from daily stressors. The session concludes with another intentional message followed by a carefully curated, custom-blended tea and light nourishing snack prepared by Michele. 

These all-day events begin and end at Enchanted Studios and include a short trip to a nearby secret, magical location in between. Each day retreat will be rooted in nature’s rhythms and crafted with heart. There will be an opening meditation and sound journey, mindful seasonal teas, creative expression and art activities, reflection circles in nature as weather permits, nourishing snacks, and a gourmet meal prepared with intention. The event will close with an OMSEMBLE sound journey to seal the day.  The retreats are facilitated by Michelle, Michele, and Craig. You'll want to wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and shoes that allow you to walk comfortably and safely in nature. Participation in outdoor activities and the nature walk is optional. 

Michelle will greet you at Enchanted Studios, where you'll find a comfortable, zero-gravity chair and blanket in a soothing, beautifully lit environment. The journey will begin with a message and move into sounds played by Michelle from her extensive collection of instruments, including gongs, singing bowls, a variety of chimes, ocean drums, rain sticks, and more. Personal attention will be given to each attendee as she walks through the room playing instruments. The session concludes with another message followed by a cup of tea and a nourishing snack. 

 At an OMSEMBLE Sound Journey or Retreat, you should not expect any religious affiliation or spiritual doctrine—there is no connection to any church, organized faith, or belief system, and there is no agenda to persuade or convert anyone. It’s also not against any particular faith tradition; people of all backgrounds are welcome, and many find the experience comfortably coexists alongside their own personal beliefs. This is not a “hokey” or performative experience, and you won’t be asked to do anything that feels forced, awkward, or overly theatrical. 

It’s also not magic, mystical, or a miracle cure—sound can be deeply supportive for relaxation and wellbeing, but there are no supernatural claims or guarantees of transformation. Finally, there’s no pressure to “have an experience” in any specific way; whether you feel deeply moved, simply relaxed, or just quietly present, all responses are normal and welcome.
