❄️ The darkness is where we become whole. A Solstice permission slip to rest.

These darker days invite you to rest well; to remember and reclaim the gold and the nourishment held within.

Winter teaches us that nothing can be "outward" all the time. Nothing can be forever Spring—constantly growing, young, and blooming. All natural beings need rest to sustain themselves.

We need this time to descend into our own dark richness—into the places we may fear—so we can turn them into medicine through love and kindness toward ourselves.

This is a season where deep nourishment is called for: wholesome foods for the body and tender love for the heart.

Remember that through the darkness comes the light. This quiet is not only necessary; it is vital.

Just as a baby becomes whole in the darkness of the womb, and a seed needs the black, quiet earth to ignite the life held within, this time of darkness mirrors the beginning of all things.

It is an invitation to begin again. To allow "mini-deaths" in the dark so you can be rebirthed into the light of Spring—more alive and resilient than before.

So, light the fires and the candles in your hearth. Honor the gifts that your heart and the hearts of others bring.

Create a nest where you can rest, a place to love yourself and journey inward.

Write and dream. Eat well and sleep well.
Winter is showing you that you are currently the embryo in the womb, the seed in the soil.

This is the moment nature asks:

• What do you need to heal?
• What do you need to feel safe enough to be your deepest and most authentic self?
• What needs attending to so you can feel peace in your body?

Give yourself what you need now, so you can grow well in the light that is to come. 🕯

If you are looking for a space to rest and 'nest' this season, join us at on December 31st for an all-night Gong Puja (10 pm - 6 am).

We are holding space alongside our teachers for your rest and your rebirth.

✨️This New Years Eve, are you ready to remember your natural state of wholeness with a Gong Puja?

Will you join us for the first light of 2026?

At 10pm on December 31st, the continuous sound immersion begins.

The gongs are played gently and at a consistent, soft volume throughout the night by a team of rotating players to create a "sonic dissolution."

Participants lie down, get comfortable, and surrender to the sound, which helps slow brainwave frequencies to delta and theta states, allowing for deep relaxation, sleep, awareness, and inner expansion.

As we play through the night, the continuous resonance acts as a portal. It bypasses the analytical mind and talks directly to your nervous system.

By 3:00 AM, most participants are in Delta—the deepest brainwave state. This is where the 'reset' happens. Where the body repairs what stress has misaligned.

No expectations. No 'healing' required. Just surrender to the sound and let your body respond however it needs to.

Your experience will be different from the person lying next to you. Some sleep, some process, some sit in stillness, some just... exist.

There is no right way to do this. The only task is surrender to the sound vibrations.

This Puja is a continuation of the profound work led by our teachers at MA. We are incredibly grateful to Chantelle, Katyanna, Pilar, and the senior practitioners for their mentorship and for inviting us to contribute to this lineage of deep rest.

It is a privilege to uphold the high standard of somatic care and sound integrity that this community has come to know and trust.

Join us as we rotate through the night, holding space for your transition into the new year. Let the gongs meet you exactly where you are.

🪷 I recently completed 100 hours of Sound Training with

Choosing to enroll in the sound healing training with Ma Wellness was one of the best decisions I've made to expand my knowledge and skills on my teaching journey.

From the very start, it was clear that the teachers possess an incredible wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for their work. They didn't just teach us how to play instruments; they instilled in us the profound importance of using sound with intention, integrity, and respect.

The course curriculum is comprehensive and thoughtfully designed. I was fascinated by the deep dive into the history of sound and its cultural significance.

The training provided critical information on the proper use of various instruments and tools, ensuring that we understood not only the 'what,' but also the 'why' behind each technique.

The segments with on Sanskrit language and pronunciation were especially enlightening, adding a layer of authenticity and reverence to my practice and offerings.

What truly sets this training apart is how they seamlessly blend the ancient wisdom with modern science, explaining the real-world, physiological effects of sound on the body and mind.

This is more than just a training; it's a foundation for creating truly meaningful and effective sound journeys and meditations.

This sound healing training was truly transformative. It went far beyond what I expected, not only deepening my personal practice but also providing me with the comprehensive knowledge and tools needed to enrich my teachings and offerings to guide others with authenticity and confidence.

I look forward to sharing and serving our community with the addition of these new offerings. 🙏✨️

Love and Gratitude,
Anne-Marie 🪷
