Living as an Energy Being: Our Upcoming Wildhearted Gathering (Sunday, June 28, 2-4p)

 

 

Attuning to Frequency: Living as an Energy Being   (A Wildhearted Gathering)

Sunday, June 28th | 2:00–4:00 PM
Elk Haven Wellness Center | Brevard, NC
Facilitated by: Rachel Dickson, Jaci Daley & Marci Sheer
$25 | Limited seats



Everything is vibration.


Your thoughts.
Your body.
Your habits.
Your environment.
Your feelings.

Each of these carries a frequency and together they create the state from which you experience life.
Most of this happens without our even realizing it.
But when we begin to notice it and become aware, everything changes!
In this gathering we’ll delve into how we can develop healthy feeling habits and keep our personal vibration at a level that optimizes the way we function in life, brings us success, and allows us to be naturally more balanced and alive.

Seeing ourselves as energy beings is the one of the most important breakthroughs of our times.  Throughout this wildhearted gathering Rachel Dickson will guide us on a journey to understanding new energy (frequency) principles that we can intentionally use to keep ourselves healthy and improve the realities we live within.

This Wildhearted Gathering is an invitation to experience those principles for yourself.



This Wildhearted Gathering is an exploration of:

Frequency in the body

We begin with a live crystal bowl sound bath led by Marci Sheer...an immersion in vibration designed to help the nervous system settle and the body return to coherence.

Understanding frequency and raising vibration is pivotal to affecting change. Marci Sheer will help us begin as we connect with our centers via the frequency and vibration of the crystal bowls to create fertile soul soil for intention setting.



Frequency in perception

Through Colour Mirror Wisdom Bottle selection with Jaci Daley, we explore the subtle energetic patterns already active in our life...bringing into focus what may have been operating just beneath our conscious awareness.



Frequency in daily life

Rachel guides us on an exploration of our habits, attention, and routines as expressions of the energetic state we choose to live from within.

How you begin your day.
Where your attention goes and why it goes there.
How you engage your body and move through time.



Frequency in integration

We close with a guided meditation to help the experience settle into the body so awareness and the principles of frequency becomes something you can feel as well as understand.


You may leave with:

• A clearer felt sense of your own energetic state
• Awareness of the patterns shaping your daily frequency
• A deeper understanding of how vibration and attention interact
• Simple ways to begin shifting your lived experience through awareness
• A grounded experience of yourself as both physical and energetic


About Wildhearted Gatherings

Each gathering is intentionally designed while remaining open to the wisdom that emerges from those present.

We don't believe transformation comes from someone else having your answers.

Instead, we create experiences that help you access the wisdom, clarity, and next step that's already calling from within you.

Through intentional facilitation, embodied practices, reflection, and collective presence, participants discover that what they're seeking has often been quietly seeking them, too.

Human default?

 


A little something I wrote back in July of 2024 and... a worthy read.

There's a pretty tough 20 minute hike up out of the Green River gorge at the end of the Upper section whitewater kayaking trip.

Guests are required to carry their kayak and paddle up this trail. They agree to this ahead of time with truly little understanding of what it actually means.
I'm carrying my boat too as we march up the trail. Breathing hard, sweating, muscles beginning to ache. And I get to watch and listen over and over how this is navigated.

Some go quiet. Some talk while they walk. Some get angry. Some just get it done.


But nearly always in these moments of physical stress and discomfort I witness a default human behavior where the focus becomes "what's best for me" and "what's best for me specifically to lesson or eliminate MY pain".

Concern for other's pain almost always goes out the window because I want my pain to be eliminated first and foremost.

Carry my boat for me please, or help me with my burden with little or no concern for the fact that everyone else is experiencing the same exact thing.

I've begun to realize we ALL do this in many areas of our lives. Ask yourself if the truth that exists underneath a moment of disgruntledness is actually based in my need to eliminate my own "best interest" first and foremost?

Isn't this why we get upset when someone takes "our" parking spot? After all..."that was mine" right? Of course it wasn't yours. Its simply a parking spot. The layer of "mine first" comes directly from the mindset of "what’s best for me is best". But is it?

And who is deciding this "bestness" anyway?


I've begun to take note of my own behavior and whether in a moment of dis-ease if I'm acting from a place of "me first". And also trying to navigate whether I recognize someone else acting from "me first" and how to best sail through this moment.

We each have our own default inner programming when moments of fight, flight or freeze arrive.
We don't always see it. Because these defaults have been playing out unrecognized for years. But when you do see it...you can't unsee it.

And I do believe these programs can be re-written and/or re-scripted.
I'm still trying to figure out how to do this well.

Humaning is hard.

But we can do hard things.

Home. What it is?

 


I was pondering on this question recently because...I’ve not been at my physical home address of late because I’ve been pet sitting and house sitting in others’ homes for the past few weeks.

What happens when you’re away from your own home for that long is that you begin to miss the comforts of your own bed and so forth.

I began to think more about the idea of “missing home” and knowing that since my pups are no longer here... the energy around my home has changed dramatically. And well...this has altered the “homeness feeling” I used to find there.

Pondering on this further...my next question was...what is “home” anyway?

Is home a place?

Is home a feeling?

or...can home actually be within me?

Enter the teachings of Ticht Nhat Hanh.

If you don’t know who he his...in brief...he was a Vietnamese Thiền Buddhist monk, peace activist, prolific author, poet, and teacher, who founded the Plum Village Tradition, historically recognized as the main inspiration for engaged Buddhism. Known as the "father of mindfulness", Nhất Hạnh was a major influence on Western practices of Buddhism.

I’ve found his teachings very easy to understand, apply and to practice and also quite life-changing.

And I don’t think it is any accident that I came across one of his teachings on Youtube this morning titled “Loneliness and the Illusion of Connection.”

In this 20 minute video Ticht Nhat Hanh speaks of “connecting with yourself and the going home to the island of self as the way to heal ourselves and the way to heal our society.”

This practice involves a very simple mindfulness meditation of focusing on the in-breath and then focusing on the out-breath...and that in doing so we reconnect with our bodies and to the present moment.

Herein lies the answer to my question above.

Yes. Home IS actually within me.

It’s not a place, or a geographical location, or a feeling, or a building, or a zipcode.

Much to ponder here. Much to learn.

Yoga and connecting to your magic.

 


 

Listen...Yoga with Adrienne is worthy of consideration.
I mean...come on...her super cool dog sleeps in the background of nearly every video!
And Adrienne has 13.6 million subscribers on YouTube. I mean come on. That's telling, right?

I'm more of an at home solo trainer. Not much of a group, gym or yoga studio session kinda person. Please note here...if you are a group person I totally get it...and I still love you.

That said...I've been following Adrienne on YT for years...and took a hiatus for way too long from including "Yoga with Adrienne" in my daily practice.

There was a time too in my life when I didn't truly realize what yoga was about (hint: the breath). I thought it was too froofee and not athletic enough.

Pfffft. Um, let me tell ya...yoga can be soft and calm and it can also smoke your ass. One thing is certainly true for me here...every time I practice yoga I learn more about which side of my body is weaker or more or less balanced or tight than the other.

Is fascinating to me that something as simple as yoga can teach you so much about yourself.
And this practice is SO easy to do with Adrienne. All online... youtube...super easy to do first thing in the morning right in your own living room.

Yep, take this as your "get on the mat" challenge!

So...I'll put the link below to the 22 minute Yoga with Adrienne session I practiced this morning. And YES indeed I feel SO much BETTER!

Just felt the need to pass on the good feels today.
And in the words of Adrienne, "Yoga connect you to your magic."

When an image makes sounds in your head...

 



If you've ever stood on the banks of a lake like this one, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
When an image makes sounds in your head...

The lapping of the water on the shore. 
The calls of the water-birds whether duck or loons or geese.
There's a sweet peace found there. 

And to soak up those vibrations is like a nervous system reset.
Namaste.
