- Lasts 2 hours
Somatic Sound
A SOL Sista Ceremony
A Half-Day Journey Through Sound, Somatic Practice & Nervous System Restoration
August 23rd - 3pm - 8pm.
Each SOL Sista Ceremony is its own unique journey, weaving together ritual, storytelling and sisterhood in a way that responds to the season we're in. To celebrate our first birthday, we're doing something rather special.
Join us for a half-day retreat bringing together internationally respected facilitators for an experience designed to help you soften, reconnect and journey from doing deeply into being. Together we'll move through sound, somatic practice, nervous system restoration, shared ritual and the healing elements of nature, before gathering at SOL to celebrate all that this community has become.
Set amongst the natural surrounds of the Tamborine Mountain Glades Rainforest Amphitheatre, the experience begins with internationally respected psychologist Cassandra Carlopio, sharing practical nervous system wisdom to give you a deeper sense of regulation, resilience and ease.
From here, internationally renowned sound healer and live-looping artist Gabriel joins somatic movement guide Paige Nelson for a deeply immersive guided somatic movement and dance experience. Beginning with grounding breath and embodied awareness, participants are guided through intuitive movement, creative exploration, and joyful free-form dance while Gabriel creates evolving soundscapes through live-looping, voice, and world instruments. Together, movement and music are woven in real time, each continuously responding to the other, creating a one-of-a-kind journey into presence, authentic expression, and human connection.
The afternoon will then settle into a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra meditation guided by Cassandra Carlopio, accompanied by Gabriel's live soundscapes, inviting the body and nervous system into profound rest, regulation and stillness.
We'll then make our way to SOL for ceremonial tea around the fire with Shae Raven, before easing into the Elemental Bathhouse to integrate the day's journey through thermal mineral pools, the Botanical Steam Room, Cedar Stone Sauna and Himalayan Salt Sanctuary, with plenty of time to simply be, connect and restore.
Leave feeling deeply restored in body, mind and nervous system.
Nourishing dinner, delicious dessert, elixirs and teas will be provided.
