Coming Up! Sound Healing Journey with Jenny Bergold from Light of the World Yoga
Immerse yourself in the healing sounds of three gongs tuned to the planets Uranus, Jupiter, and the Moon. Uranus to balance emotions and hormones. Jupiter to open and nourish the heart center. And the Moon to awaken intuition and connection to divinity.
Based on ancient wisdom, the gong vibrates at the same frequency as the body allowing the body to heal itself. The gong balances the central nervous system and aids in deep meditation. Tibetan and Singing Crystal Bowls will be added to raise the vibration.

Dates: Sunday Sound Journey with Jenny

Time: 6:30-8pm

Tonight! Last Men’s Circle of 2025!
CONSCIOUS MEN’S CIRCLE AT SODERWORLD
Hosted by Chahé and Eric Soderholm

Our troubled society has been pushing men towards a subtle, unique type of emotional isolation. Often times men don’t feel comfortable talking about their lives or how they feel about things that are happening. Even guys that are self-aware and more open-minded have trouble sharing in this way.
And this becomes a problem because when a guy faces the unavoidable adversities of life, much like the current times, they realize that they don’t have many healthy outlets. This creates a lot of pressure so guys eventually burn out, blow up or meltdown.
Instead of this route, we choose to meet in private where we won’t be scrutinized for being honest, vulnerable or supportive with one another. Our circle is a group of conscious men committed to supporting each other in living out our purpose. We meet once a month at SoderWorld Wellness Center in the yoga studio or outside around a fire.
The goal of this group is to provide a safe and confidential space for men to vent, rant, reminisce, tell stories, ask for advice or just enjoy some male bonding. Come join our community of seekers helping amplify our collective masculine energies together.
Feel free to bring food and beverages to snack on.
This is a male only event. It is a non-denominational gathering which focuses on the light and the shadow work of the divine masculine. There is no affiliation with any particular tradition or religion. The intent is to create a sacred space for men to come together and heal together. Disruptive, aggressive or angry energy towards other members will not be tolerated.
Come with love and brotherhood in your hearts.
Date: 3rd Monday night of every month
Time: 7-9pm
COST: LOVE donations
