A Land Healing and Mandala Creation Ceremony for SOUK
All donations go to support Make Conscious land healing initiatives, bringing us back into right relationship with mother earth through listening to indigenous stories, conscious creation, ceremony, yoga, sacred geometry, gridding, energy work, and more.
Jessica Kung’s relationship with the land opened up when she sat with the land in the Chiracahua mountains in Arizona for what was supposed to have been a 3 year, 3 month, 3 day silent retreat at the Diamond Mountain Retreat Center. Much was revealed, many lessons learned, and many teachings were received. The main teachings from silence for Jessica was and continues to be, learning to sit with the land, and quieting your mind enough to hear something other than your own story. In silence you begin to hear the story of the land.
Jessica is the founder of Make Conscious cross-disciplinary design studio, applying ancestral wisdom traditions and contemplative processes to contemporary art, architecture, landscape, and design.
Join Jessica and Rima for a sacred introduction to relating to and acknowledging the land by way of greeting the land of Souk and consciously creating and nurturing the mandala that is Souk studio, the heart chakra of those who seek liberation in this life.
A powerful offering and ceremony, not to be missed.

The Sound Meditation is a transportive sonic journey meditation which starts with a talk about sound, spirituality, and consciousness. It’ll be followed by breathing exercises, toning and vocalization, and guided visualizations to bring the body to a state of attunement to go inward, which will be followed by the sound work with a collection of instruments such as gongs, Himalayan singing bowls, and other various overtone-rich instruments.
