LIFE FORCE
Summer Sound Gathering
Ceremony - Sound - Community - Soul Food - Nature
Saturday 5th August
1.00pm-7.00pm
Happy River Retreat, Wareham Forest, Dorser
Join Josie and Chris for an afternoon of connection, healing and ceremony. We will gather in circle on the peaceful land of Happy River Retreat nestled in a clearing in the Forest. This will be a day of togetherness and celebration at this Mid-Summer point. As we move through the height of Summer it is often a full and expansive time of growth and connection. which means it can also be tiring physically, emotionally and spiritually. This sacred space will offer a beautiful opportunity to unwind, rest your mind, rejuvenate your spirit, cleanse your body and receive nourishment in every level of your being.
The intention is to renew our life force and regulate our nervous systems to support us in our journey through the rest of Summer. Let's open to the light of the Sun together in celebration for all that is coming into harvest in our lives at this abundant time, and for all of our dreams, visions and prayers that we will continue to nurture into reality.
Our day will begin with a heart opening cacao ceremony to ground us into our inner landscape and the land around us. As you integrate you will be guided on a dreamy soundscape through the healing frequencies of alchemy crystal bowls, drums, chimes, tuning forks, native flute, melodic instruments and soul transmissions channeled through the voice. Josie and Chris take you on a deep inner journey into connection with masculine and feminine, earth and spirit, body and soul. The sounds will guide you into a relaxed and receptive state as your brain waves change, breath pattern deepens and naturally you fall into a deep surrender. The vibrations effect every cell in the body, nourishing the nervous system and speaking to every level of your being.
There is no better way to ground back then with the nourishment of food. A true gift from Mother Earth and crafted with love and care from the hands and heart of Chris. His food alchemy always brings an energy of healing and aliveness. His dishes are healthy, hearty, tasty and full of flavour. It really is food for the soul.
Our day will close around the fire with drumming and blessings. If this calls you then we cannot wait to be with you in the Forest. It will be a love filled, community container with the intention of supporting you to move through the rest of Summer feeling recharged and connected to your light.

ARE CHILDREN WELCOME?
This offering is focused on healing for adults, however, children are welcome to come along as its also a relaxed family community vibe. It is advised that any children under 12 years old do not attend the 90 minute sound healing part as this is intended for people to drop deep within and would also be too intense for young children. However, children must be supervised by a parent/guardian at all times but you would be welcome to walk around the Forest or chill in the other space with your younger children whilst the sound is happening. Children under 3 years old - FREE. Children under 12 years old - £15 to cover the food costs. Children 12 years old and over - £25 for a ticket and they can attend the sound part too if they wish. Please get in touch to discuss and arrange this directly via my email josie@elevenhealing.com

FEEDBACK FROM OUR PREVIOUS LIFE FORCE SESSIONS
“Just wanted to send a quick note to say thanks and to say how powerful I found the sharing you did with Chris! It was wonderful, you make a powerful team.”
“So beautiful and powerful. When Chris started to channel I felt cold tingling run through me. I started to cry. I felt like I had heard that before, it was familiar, almost like hearing your father.”
“Thank you so much you are both so magical - I found it felt like physical purging! I had a lot of tears and faint feeling almost at one point and then laughter and joy from the sound of masculine energy, and your voice Josie at the end was like pure angel healing.”
“I’m so glad I got to experience such a powerful and heart opening session. I had never heard of light language before but as soon as Josie started speaking I connected to it so strongly at soul level - beautiful and healing!"
“Josie and her crystal bowls took my mind and body to another level. The most relaxing, uplifting experience. Just wished she lived nearer! I would be an ‘addict’.”
"I came to your session last Tuesday. I was the one who cried at the end and I really wanted to let you know how immensely grateful I am for the healing that started to occur. The release I felt was truly life changing, and since have started to accept and understand deeper as to what required growth and nurturing and what I need to let go of.”
