About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Step into a transformative experience with Spinal Energetics, an integrative practice blending Eastern and Western philosophies to engage with the spine, nervous system, and energy pathways of the body. This practice creates a gentle yet profound release of physical, emotional, and energetic tension, promoting deep self-awareness and balance. Working in a group amplifies the healing experience, enhancing each participant’s journey through shared intent and connection.


To deepen this process, we’ll open with ceremonial-grade matcha, revered for it’s association with mental clarity, heightened intuition, and grounding the body’s energy. Matcha can help to reach a receptive state, allowing the energy work to unfold with greater depth. Held in a safe container, this event will help you release repressed emotions, process experiences, and reconnect with your most centered self.


Whether new or experienced in energy work, this workshop offers a supportive, nourishing space for you to explore and release in harmony with the body’s natural rhythms.

What can I expect during the session?


We will begin by connecting and sharing matcha with each other. You will then be invited to lie down and be guided into circular breathing to carry you into the Spinal Energetics portion of the session. While you breathe, the practitioner will come around and apply both group and individualistic energy healing. After a generous amount of time for integration, you'll be guided back up, and offered space to share and connect with each other again before the session closes.

Matcha contains wonderful properties which support mental clarity and focus. This allows you to set and hold your specific intention as you journey into your healing process. Maintaining presence and conscious awareness allows you to dive deeper.

How should I prepare for the session?

In order for your body to focus on clearing blockages rather than digesting food, it's best to not eat 1.5-2 hours before the session. However, please do eat something beforehand as matcha can cause an upset stomach if drunk on an empty stomach.
