Sound Meditation w/ Monica Mullen
2024-10-05 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Hempfield Apothetique, 100 West Walnut Street, Lancaster, PA, 17603, United States
Monica has found profound spiritual growth through sound therapy, using it to deepen her connection to the present moment. She feels immense joy in facilitating sound therapy sessions for others, where she intuitively employs a range of overtone-emitting instruments to guide participants toward stillness and relaxation.
Each session begins with a guided meditation, enhanced by soothing instruments. Monica provides tools to quiet the busy mind and promote slower brainwaves, encouraging the body to enter a state of relaxation that allows it to naturally restore itself from the impacts of stress.
Incorporating visualization and breathwork, Monica helps participants release tension, while vocalization techniques stimulate the vagus nerve, bringing vibrational healing into the body. Afterward, she invites participants to fully immerse themselves in the sounds, using all their senses to deeply listen and experience the therapeutic vibrations.

Cacao Circle
2025-01-09 18:00 - 19:30
Theobroma cacao, translated to Food of the Gods, is a superfood that is loaded with antioxidants, an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, and is a protector of the heart. It is known to offer a revitalizing and uplifting energy that supports the expansion of the physical, mental, and spiritual bodies. The cacao we will enjoy is sourced from Ecuadorian 5000+ year old heirloom trees grown and handled with respect and love.
In this session, Joshua will lead us through intention setting and grounding practices to give ourselves permission to pause and fully arrive. Then, he will introduce cacao with songs, prayers, and an informative talk on its scientific and energetic benefits. After we take our first sip together, we’ll open the space for storytelling, vulnerable sharing, reflections, contemplations, celebrations, and compassionate listening followed by a relaxed and meditative soundscape to integrate our discussions. We will conclude with a unified space for sharing our experiences.
Date: Thursday, January 9, 2025
Time: 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Minimum class attendance (invite a friend): 5
Fee: $40 per person
Facilitator Bio: Joshua is a devoted student to the path of the awakening heart. Over the past 6 years, his personal heart opening experiences with cacao have led him to dive deeply into its medicinal purposes, ritual, and rich history. He has been fortunate to work with the Cacao Laboratory team in NYC and study under the guidance of Mayan and Sapara lineages. This path continues to inspire him to share the medicine of cacao with enthusiasm and respect.
Along with cacao, he has dedicated the past 5 years studying the effects sound has on the brain and body facilitating deep sound meditations with gong, singing bowls, bells, flute, and other overtone emitting instruments. He is also a 200hr registered yoga teacher and lover of all things that bring us together to experience the power of community. His approach is grounded in creating inclusive spaces where individuals can connect deeply and authentically on their journey of self-discovery.
What to wear/bring/tips: It is recommended that you drink cacao on an empty stomach so that you can more quickly digest your cacao. Wear what is most comfortable to you. Be authentic in your expression. Please bring with you a water bottle, journal, pencil/pen, eye mask (if available), an open heart, and anything that helps you feel at home.

We’ll share stories, reflections, and meaningful insights, embracing compassion and listening deeply to each other.
