You must be willing to be undressed and to exchange affirmative touch.

      Your voice is a bridge between your inner world and the world around you. In this uplifting and immersive workshop, we’ll explore the power of sound through breath-work, light movement, toning, and communal vocal expression. Together, we’ll create a space where every voice—no matter how experienced or uncertain—can be heard, felt, and celebrated. Through simple yet profound vocal practices, we’ll harmonize, chant, and explore free expression, using our voices as tools for connection, healing, and presence. No singing experience is needed—just an open heart and a willingness to share in the joy of sound. Come as you are, and let’s sing our way into deeper connection.

    • Intuitive Tarot: Find Your Path to Freedom with Jendi Reiter - Temple
      What does freedom mean to you? Where do you yearn to move forward in your life? Often, we have a storyline about our present situation, and a mental picture of what we'd like to change, but we can't figure out how to get from here to there. In this workshop, we'll use a simple 3-card spread as a journaling prompt to imagine an unexpected path to a liberated future. Workshop leader Jendi Reiter, an experienced Tarot teacher, will offer brief readings of your spreads. No prior knowledge of Tarot is required. A variety of decks will be provided.
