Transformational Offerings:
Sedona Sound Experience
Melt into relaxation as Colleen weaves together magic through her voice, musicality, and special instruments designed to harmonize and heal the body, ending with her signature healing lullaby.
This is a fully customized sound ceremony with your choice of an additional speciality at the end (see below). The unique orchestration of sounds and healing frequencies are intuitively woven with Colleen’s angelic vocals for a different delivery every time… tapping into each unique body and needs. We begin by creating a safe space and sacred container followed by a grounding meditation and intention.
Each valuable session also includes a choice of one additional speciality from Colleen: Bio-tuning (with 8 frequency forks or body placement of bowls), Sound Discovery (learn about the instruments), Vocal Alchemy (your voice as your healing tool), or a Healing Song shared with drumming / percussion.
There is no other experience like this in Sedona!
If you’ve tried a sound session before give this one a try! Gong and bowls are never too harsh or overplayed, which creates disharmony in the body. As a life-long musician, Colleen’s sound journeys are sensitively created with a gentle arc and flow that allow the nervous system to let go and return to an optimal state of resonance, where restoration and self-healing happen!
Instruments may include crystal & tibetan bowls, gong, handpan, nagoni harp, native american flute, percussion and guitar.
Each additional participant is a $77 add on, children $44.
For an additional fee I can meet you on the red rocks or travel to meet you in the comfort of your own space for family gatherings, events, corporate groups or retreats… inquire about the travel option.
In summer, Colleen travels throughout the US with workshop offerings and musical presentations. Check to see she can drop to offer an experience or group sound near you!
Music and Sound Discovery: full day retreat
Perhaps you are already a budding sound facilitator or musician looking to explore instruments or learn more about a particular one. Maybe you are desiring feedback and guidance on your vocal technique or songwriting skills?
Maybe you are just “Sound Curious” and wonder how sound works or what kind of instruments might bless your own home… a one on one customized music and sound retreat may be an exciting expansion for you!
In good weather we will take the longer experiences out on the land while we dive into exploring music, song, and sound outdoors in addition to studio time. Optional overnight stays are also available. Retreats can also be designed for two days or longer… incorporating modalities that open you to new experiences and encourage expansion and heart-opening healing.
My sound studio collection provides a variety of instruments to explore and learn about. In addition, free to bring a Native American flute, guitar or other instruments to gain basic skills on. We can discuss what level of expertise you already have. All retreats include a Sound Journey!
Colleen has studied with true masters of sound including sound physicist Thomas Orr Anderson and can answer many questions / educate about sound… dispelling many of the accepted myths of “how sound works”.
This experience and the education of it is catered to the level of the participants whether it’s a family with kids coming to learn about sound or a seasoned facilitator.
RECLAMATION RETREATS
RECLAMATION RETREATS
Reclaiming YOU Retreats
Unleash the transformational power of combined somatic modalities & practices that held me through my own mid-life journey back to the wholeness of myself.
These three to six day retreats are designed to empower you to write a second act you love… closing old chapters and rewriting new beliefs. I especially work with those reclaiming themselves from religious conditioning & leaving old co-dependent paradigms.
Customized to your unique circumstances, these empowering retreats share my most powerful tools of reclamation and alchemy plus daily practices for coming back to center. You can also look forward to specialized release and renewal ceremonies built around your intentions… enhanced by natural elements of this sacred land.
All retreats include breathwork, alchemy sound, meditation, and ample space for integration and reflection. Breathwork has been an amazing drug-free breakthrough modality to tap into the sub-conscious and clear trauma since 2017. Two years after, I began training in a couple different methods so I could share it with others in their transformational journey.
Book your own place or stay secluded from tourist energy by staying on my sweet sacred property in a private space.
I invite you into the possibility of your future, here to walk with you as you begin this journey back to your soul-knowing self.
Voice Reclamation Retreat
I lovingly call this the “Unsilenced Retreat”.
Whether you wish to activate your voice for singing or are looking for an incredible healing tool, this personalized voice container offers both or either!
Throughout my journey of leaving Mormonism, the energies stuck around my throat were thick, but I persisted. After years of being silenced… I dove into years of healing my throat chakra and learning to speak my truth, honor my body’s wisdom, and set boundaries. These are all functions of the throat center. I also found and fell in love with my unaltered authentic voice, both for singing and expressing my truth.
THIS act of becoming unsilent and reclaiming my voice became my strongest gift and medicine. I now use my voice to heal myself and others on a regular basis.
Combined knowledge from years of University level voice lessons, a music degree, and trainings / workshops with over a dozen well known somatic voice healers… I provide a unique experience of somatic practices, energy work, body-voice healing alongside vocal technique. This work touches on both speaking truth and strengthening your authentic singing sound. Learn to love your voice, just as you learn to love your body.
We will also involve sound, movement, meditation, breathwork, and ceremony… honoring this as a deep dive retreat into the soul as well as the voice. This is a cathardic journey and one of the greatest liberations awaits on the other side.
Song Therapy
Throughout my journey of leaving Mormonism, the energies stuck around my throat were thick, but I persisted. I dove into many years of healing my throat chakra and learning to speak my truth, honor my body’s wisdom and setting boundaries…
Part of the process was writing and sharing my story… even writing three musicals produced between 2018 and 2020 (and a new one about to tour).
Sharing my voice became my strongest gift and medicine. I wrote hundreds of songs for healing and can guide others to birth, catch, or finish their own songs within the five day container.
“Let the symphony of your story harmonize with the magic of your journey. As you embrace each note of transformation, your heart will begin to dance in tune with your soul's evolution. The alchemy of the present moment always holds the key to your next melody.”
— Love, your higher knowing
