Happy Equinox Everyone! We are launching into Spring celebrating the fertility of the land and the Goddess Ostara (Eostar) who gave her name to our present-day Easter (and me). I literally saw several of her totem animals – rabbits – jumping around at our local park today, while the fertilizing waters were gushing and flooding the marshland that is my stomping-ground these days. Wading in the streams that cover the paths I was once again reminded of how water is the true mother of all life! And we received so abundantly of her this Spring!
We are continuing with offerings in Sebastopol this month while also planning an Oregon trip maybe as early as in May. Please let us know if any of you Oregonians would like to book us for concerts, workshops or ceremonies. The dates are still up in the air- we are flexible.

This song circle will start with a workshop: we will choose a medicine song and we will teach it to you. Since it is a recurring event, our participants will be able to learn a whole repertoire of sacred songs that they will be able to share in ceremonies and song circles. If you have a guitar and at least some very basic skills at that, you will be able to learn the accompanying guitar parts. If you would like to learn to sing this (and other) songs, we will offer a sheet of written lyrics to the song. No prior musical experience necessary.
In the second part of the Song Circle we will all be given an opportunity to share a song or we can just sing along. All healing or sacred songs are welcome, including originals. “ Eostar and Mathias “ will close out the event sharing a couple unplugged songs to sing along with.

April 2nd (Sunday) – Sebastopol, CA
Hypno-Breathing: Re-Own Your Rejected Parts
@Soft Medicine Sanctuary, Sebastopol, CA, 186 N Main Street
Hypno-Breathing is an ancient breathwork technology that takes one into a trance state, followed by a guided meditation. Allowing access to suppressed emotions and to the subconscious mind, you will be led into the depths of your Soul where transformation happens by your ability to surrender to Self-Love. Deep subconscious negative programming deactivation and replacement with new positive programming. Led by certified breathwork facilitator Eostar Kamala
This event will focus on re-owning rejected parts – parts of ourselves that we feel resistant to, that we dislike, that we push away. This guided meditation is based on a technique called Parts Work, identifying exiled wounded parts of ourselves that we have disowned. We cannot “get rid of” that which is a part of ourselves. In this hypno-breathing session participants will get a chance to resolve this internal conflict by going through a process of re-integration and calling back these rejected parts to integrate into our internal family of sub-personalities. Be ready for deeply transformational inner work in the subconscious realms, realigning with your true self and resolving past trauma.
What to bring?
A yoga mat and a blanket. An additional blanket or a towel to fold under your head. We are recommending against pillows as it is better to keep your head closer to the ground. A bottle of water to drink. A notebook and a pen for journaling afterward. An eye-mask or a shawl to cover your eyes with. There will be a limited number of yoga mats and blankets available for people who don’t have one.

6:30 pm – Doors open, people set up their yoga mats and blankets
7:00 – 8:30 pm – Hypno-Breathing Session – please arrive on time

April 7th (Friday) – Sebastopol, CA
Tantric Kundalini Healing – Somatic Energetic Activation
@Soft Medicine Sanctuary, Sebastopol, CA, 186 N Main Street
We are so excited to announce this new collaboration with Feather Rose Marie. In addition to Feather’s offering of tantric kundalini healing and energetic activation, Eostar and Mathias will be facilitating Vyana Vayu breathwork and playing sacred live music.
Feather is a Healing Tao Instructor (Mantak Chia), Tao Tantric Arts Facilitator, Somatic Erotic Educator and Kundalini Bodywork Advanced Level Practitioner, among other trainings and certificates she holds.
In this deeply transformational session we will be working on a physical, emotional and energetic level, weaving mind, heart and sex into wholeness and a state of divine wellbeing. Through spinal clearing we release the hold the past has on us. We allow life to begin to move through us, opening to the experience, but not identifying ourselves with it.
While this is a group session and we will be affecting each other energetically, it will be done laying down on yoga mats individually and clothed, each one of us moving into launching our Kundalini as a deep somatic active meditation.
Feather’s masterful energetic activation work will be accompanied and enhanced by a breathwork ceremony led by Eostar and sacred acoustic music and didgeridoo with Eostar and Mathias.

April 13th (Thursday) – Sebastopol, CA
Breathwork and Sound Healing Journey
@Soft Medicine Sanctuary, Sebastopol, CA, 186 N Main Street
This will be an evening of profound journeying on the sound of trance-inducing instruments and the power of our breath.
The type of breathwork Eostar will lead is an ancient pranayama called “Vyana Vayu”. It is a dynamic active meditation that will quickly take the participants to altered, higher states of consciousness. Participants will be encouraged to breathe dynamically using a certain technique that will be explained prior to starting. Once the desired transpersonal “pure presence” state is achieved, there may be emotional content bubbling up, which will be compassionately held in a strong healing group environment. The timeless moment of transcendence will be gently followed by return to physicality on the wings of sound healing instruments.
Eostar and Mathias have played sacred acoustic music and sound healing music to audiences along the West Coast and South America for more than a decade both as devotional musicians and as sound healers. Their 36-inch Chau Gong is always a special experience for those looking to journey with sound. Eostar and Mathias create sound-scapes using didgeridoo, tank-drums, kalimbas, drums, monochord, crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, guitar, Gong and throat-singing.

Saturday, April 15th – Sebastopol, CA
Magick Mushrooom Sacred Fire Song-Circle and Interactive Sound Healing Temple
Arrival: 5:00-6:00 pm
Ceremonial opening: 7:00 pm
Join us for a night of magic, circling around the sacred fire, singing songs of love, bliss and healing activated and inspired by our sacred mushrooom allies…while our indoor area will turn into an interactive sound healing temple guided by our favorite sound-healer friend Eric Olson and ourselves assisting in the learning and listening process.
Participants will be encouraged to deeply listen and also play sound-healing instruments that we will be providing or that you bring along yourselves.
Bring an instrument, a flute, a crystal bowl or gong etc …or just your voice plus a heart ready to be opened ever more.
Percussion and drumming are encouraged if/when the leader of the offering is asking for it.
To be clear, this will be a sacred plant ceremony, but there will be a facilitated open flow from start to finish.
What does this look and feel like, you may now be asking ? 🙂
There will be a ceremonial opening and a closing of the evening. There will be guidelines we will ask participants to keep for their own (and our) safety.
All participants are required to arrive between 5-6 pm and must stay till the official closing of the ceremony at 2 am.
Those wishing to continue sharing may stay as late as desired. But we will likely close the event by 3am so folks staying over can sleep.
Perhaps the sacred fire can stay activated until later than 3am with song and prayers if there is still a collective energy for that… who knows… maybe we will bring in the dawn ?
This ceremony will be similar to other sacred plant medicine ceremonies but with an optional lighter or stronger dose.
Cacao will also be served, as it’s a wonderful compliment to the sacred mushrooom.
This event will be an intentional gathering to enjoy making music together in the “ sound healing “ space ( the living room) or the Sacred Fire for sharing songs and prayers. We will have an area set up for mellow conversation if desired and a place for meditation or silence.
Participants will have the choice to stay for the night or they can go home after the ceremony is officially closed.
Those staying can share breakfast ( potluck ) and an integration circle at 11AM.
Those that wish to return for these offerings, that did not spend the night, are invited to return at the specified timelines.
Entry: $88-$155.
Participants must pre-register with a $33. deposit.
We so appreciate prompt registration if this calls to you so that we can plan accordingly.
This ceremony will be capped at 20 people .. so best to secure your spot now for this awesome offering !!
Text Eostar to register and have a brief intake-call @707 540 2240
ASAP !

April 28th and 29th (Friday and Saturday nights) – Sebastopol, CA
Amazonian Plant Medicine Ceremonies
We are offering two Amazonian Plant Medicine ceremonies in Sebastopol, California in April. We are providing a deep and powerful container for our participants to surrender to the healing power of the medicine. There will be two nights of ceremonies on Friday and Saturday evening, each one followed by a double integration session : first a group breathwork and sound journey and then an integration circle on the days following each ceremony. The group Breathwork sessions are designed to deepen the experience and teach a tool that participants can take home to continue the integration process. We support the sacred plant medicine ceremonial work with our original Heart Songs/ Medicine songs, South American medicine songs, mantra music, sound healing, energy clearing and a strong healing container powered by our collective prayers and intentions. There will be an opportunity for sing-along as well as to share songs in the latter portion of the evening. This is a wonderful opportunity to drop in deeper into one’s own spiritual evolutionary potential, experience the super-power of ceremonial container and to form bonds with a community of people doing this work together in a clear, conscious and peaceful healing container.
People can participate in both or just one of the ceremonies.
Each one starts around 7 pm and latest arrival time is 6 pm. We will keep you busy till around 4 pm the following day.
We have a partial work trade opportunity for one person who may be lacking funds.
If you are interested please text Eostar to schedule a phone call at 707 540 2240. She is happy to answer any questions you may have and she will also ask you questions to assure your safety and determine if this ceremony is for you at this time.
Once confirmed we will send you an email about preparation and other FAQs.
Ongoing:
“Golden Guides” Weekly Microdosing Zoom Call
Microdosing Psychedelics for Sustainable Transformation and Genuine Break-throughs
Every Tuesday at 7:00 – 8:30 pm Pacific Time.
This is an on-going zoom call/workshop that I started facilitating 2 months ago and it will continue as long as there is interest. Our first 8 sessions were very successful with enthusiastic participants who decided to take action in the direction of self-empowerment, transformation, and personal growth. Recognizing people’s need for guidance I started to share my experience with sacred plant medicines and microdosing through this zoom call for people who would like to enjoy a structured, intentional container for working with a psychedelic microdose of their choice.
Whether you’re planning to start microdosing, or have already been microdosing, this workshop may be a great help in getting clear with your intention, choosing the right protocol and deepening your journey by choosing complementary holistic and integration practices. By connecting with others who are microdosing, you will be able to share experiences and hear other’s personal accounts.
No commitment is necessary, except to Self. Price: donation fee. At the end of the call you can donate based on what you think the workshop was worth to you and what you can afford.
Come and be held by a warm-hearted container of fellow microdosers. This is a confidential circle of people that I am inviting through email or personal text messaging. In effort to protect everyone, there won’t be a discussion on sourcing/buying/selling microdoses.
If you are interested please text Eostar at 707 540 2240 in order to get the zoom link. You will also be sent a Welcome emal with FAQs on Microdosing if you send me your email address.
