Sound Bath

Sensorama

A multi-sensory experience where you will enjoy and learn first hand diverse sets of useful tools to reduce feelings of anxiety, fear, and other common patterns of resistance. All while enjoying a co-creative experience with your partner or an entire team. This workshop may be facilitated on any location, even around beautiful natural locations such as beaches, parks, etc.

 

Experience first hand the powerful multidimensional qualities of the quartz crystal singing bowls, learn how to feel and interact with your own bioelectric field and other palpable frequencies, experience 3 different easy meditation techniques, and more!

​

This is a sonic experience that relaxes, balances, and promotes good health to the body, mind, and soul through the use of quartz bowls as instruments of sound. The crystalline structure of quartz crystal happens to be very similar to the structure of our bones and DNA, both of which have a unique and true interaction with electricity.

​

Every time we make a quartz bowl “sing,” our bone structure resonates and "sings" too. This is important because our bones are the core of our physical and energetic structure, and because most of our blood cells are produced by our bones.

 

Anyone can do it and will experience the benefits of this session. Every subject we cover in this workshop is non-dogmatic, nonconflicting, also, fully honors and respects all walks of life.

 

Among other benefits, the sound bath helps to rejuvenate your bloodstream by enhancing its production from within. On the bioelectrical level, the acoustic resonance of the quartz opens and balances our bioelectrical field or lattice and chakras one by one.

Choir Performing

Find your voice &

Find your mantra

This is a Super-Charged singing class for everyone! Regardless of what you, or anyone else might think about how good or bad your signing is, after taking this workshop you will be able to use your voice in its fullest potential, to achieve personal satisfaction, and crowd-pleasing results.

​

This workshop is led by Manuel Gorka, a professional signer with 28 years of experience. He will help you find and project the very best qualities of your voice by singing. Gorka will also teach new breathing exercises, but most important, how to start properly using your signing muscles and unleash your full potential!

​

After you learn how to sing, the next step is to create your own personal Mantra and its unique singing tune, so you may use it every day for many years to come. By learning all about your voice's strengths, Gorka will guide you to find a unique self-empowering set of words and the singing scale that goes with it.

​

By the end of this workshop, every guest will be empowered to sing for the rest of the group a short song of their own creation (usually different from their personal Mantra), then receive advice, compliments, and encouragement from the rest of the singers present. Everyone shares their growth experiences, their unique learning curve, and other expansive findings.... but the most important takeaway from this workshop is a newfound satisfaction of self-empowerment when using your powerful voice from this moment on.

Sand Castle Competition

We use professional-grade sand sculpture tools and casts/molds, and add a couple of fun and quirky decoration props such as mermaid tails, large eyes, noses, hats, flags, etc as finishing touches for the sculptures. 

 

1. The group is divided into teams of 3-5 members each. 

 

2. In the first stage, each team competes to earn and collect the coveted building sand casts/molds and props by creating human knots, human bridges, etc. 

 

3. With casts and props in hand, they move on to design and build their best version of a sandcastle or sculpture that will be judged based on design, creativity, and execution. 

 

4. Team photos next to the sculptures and ribbon prizes are done by the end of the workshop. 

 

The non-competitive -and less physical approach eliminates 2., gives away the casts/molds and focuses on #3 and 4.
