Sound, Silence & Soul Full Day Sound Meditation Workshop

We will speak on frequencies with healing effects and how you can access these frequencies to gain inspiration, healing, connection, and a deeper and fuller night’s rest. I will share breakthroughs in the benefits of meditation (Non-sleep deep rest) and why these practices are so valuable to our health, relationships, and spiritual well-being. 

Because most illness stems from stress, and stress is created inside the body, so then is the cure found inside of us. Sound Meditation is a simple tool you can use daily to unlock this ability to heal what ails you. 
 
We invite you into this full-day immersive, meditative experience where you will explore how spirit speaks to your heart and how the subconscious speaks to your conscious mind.
This workshop will create space for you to:
• Connect, Listen, and act on your soul’s guidance 
• Connect to and learn the language of the body 
• Develop or deepen your meditation practice to help you develop and strengthen your receiving muscles 

What to Expect:
There will be extended periods of lying down in a comfortable position on a cushion or yoga mat. During these times, Nicole will bring soothing harmonic sounds and gentle vibrations to encourage your mind and body to release thoughts and worries and meditate. While in this relaxed and aware state, the harmonic tones and vibrations will cleanse, recharge, and balance the mind, body, and spirit.
 
Space will be provided for journaling, nourishment, meditative movement, and a safe space to share your heart and experiences.

Nicole Schoeppner, VSTP is a certified vibrational sound practitioner, neurolinguistics program (NLP) practitioner, and lifetime student of multi-culture philosophy.

What Others have said about Nicole 
“I felt a sense of peace, awe, and personal intimacy within myself I’ve never felt before. I suffered a 3rd-grade ankle sprain on my right ankle and had weeks of physical therapy on it. Immediately after the session, I noticed a tingly sensation in my right leg and ankle. A few hours later, when I was doing chores around my home, I noticed for the first time in months that my right ankle didn’t ache whenever I walked up the stairs. Even after the session ended,

Nicole was gentle, compassionate, and informative with my questions. If you are on the fence about doing this, I kindly implore you to try. Nicole will thoroughly explain everything, answer your questions, and never make you feel silly for questioning, “And this works?” If you have questions on your heart, a busy mind, a tense body from holding stress, or are simply curious how sound can heal you–you have come to the right place, and I cannot think of anyone better equipped than Nicole to help you.” ~Abby A

“The experience completely blew me away. It is hard to put into words how powerful these sessions are. I am very grateful to know you, Nicole!”~Kelly B

“When I left, I felt more in tune with myself and the world around me, and I was free of my aching back. I will definitely be back” ~Kimberly P
