Combining the benefits of slow, mindful movement (Somatics) with Acupuncture and a Sound Bath!

The words soma and somatic have become buzzwords in the health and wellness industry. You might have heard of somatic yoga, somatic experiencing, somatic psychology, somatic therapy, or somatic education.

Since the definitions of soma and somatic are fairly generic, they can be used to describe a variety of forms of movement and healing modalities. Pretty much any type of movement or therapy that involves paying attention to your internal physical sensations and experiences can correctly be described as somatic.

I use a combination of Medical Qigong, Yoga Poses, and Lymphatic Flossing in my flow. Since this is done during a Sound Bath with Chakra bowls tuned to the frequency of each chakra, I have also tailored the movements we are doing to the bowls Zach will be using, to get the maximum benefits from the use of Somatic Movement and Sound Healing together.

After the Somatic Flow, I place acupuncture needles (or earseeds for the needle-wary among us) with the intent of promoting a sense of profound relaxation and wellness.

While the needles are retained,  Zach uses the singing pyramid on each person so that they can feel the sound waves vibrating throughout their bodies. This is designed to be a fully immersive, transformative experience.

Enter a sanctuary of deep restoration. This unique healing ritual is designed to guide you into a profound state of release and inner reconnection by weaving together three powerful modalities: ceremonial cacao, wellness acupuncture, and immersive sound healing.

A Journey of Heart, Body, and Spirit

We begin by intentionally opening the heart. You will be served a warm, lovingly prepared cup of ceremonial cacao, a sacred plant medicine revered for millennia. Unlike typical chocolate, this pure, minimally processed cacao is celebrated for its capacity to gently expand awareness, cultivate emotional openness, and foster a deep sense of mindful, present connection—to yourself and to the group.

From this place of gentle openness, you will transition into the core of the healing experience. As you settle into a comfortable, supported position, wellness acupuncture is administered by Melody Osgood, LAc. This practice uses just a few gentle, strategic needles to guide your nervous system from a state of "doing" into profound "being." It clears energetic pathways, releases stored tension, and prepares your entire body to receive the healing vibrations of sound at a cellular level.

While in this deeply receptive state, you are immersed in a transformative sound bath led by Zach Osgood. The resonant frequencies of crystal singing bowls, harmonizing pyramids, and other sacred instruments wash over and through you. This sonic journey works in powerful synergy with the acupuncture, guiding your brainwaves into restorative theta states, facilitating emotional and physical release, and promoting a harmonious recalibration of your entire being.

Integration & Reflection

Many participants find that insights, sensations, or intentions surface during this meditative journey. You may wish to bring a journal for the quiet moments afterward, allowing you to gently capture any reflections, messages, or personal takeaways before returning to the rhythm of your day.

This ritual is a dedicated act of self-care, ideal for those seeking to alleviate stress, process emotion, spark creativity, or simply reconnect with their inner compass in a held, sacred space.
