Soul retrieval is a shamanic practice to restore pieces of the soul that may have been lost due to trauma, grief, or difficult life events. When we experience heartbreak and pain, parts of our essence can become disconnected as a survival mechanism. This practice invites those lost pieces back home, helping you regain wholeness, revitalized energy and clarity. In this ceremony you will be guided in a meditative journey with immersive sound healing to reclaim the fragmented pieces of you. Restorative vibrations from the Tibetan singing bowls, chimes and shamanic drums will be your ally so that you are energetically supported throughout the experience. At the conclusion of the journey we’ll take time for integration so that you can receive the gifts of this powerful practice.

Wear comfortable clothes and bring water to hydrate after. If you are attending in-person, everything you need will be provided for you (mats to lie on, blankets, and eye covers). If you are joining us virtually, we recommend using headphones for the best experience.

Events are offered both in-person in Richmond VA and virtually on Zoom. We have space for a limited number of people in person and plenty of spots online! If you would like to be in person and we appear sold out, please contact us.

She facilitates transformational offerings including reiki and sound healing to refresh the mind, rejuvenate the spirit and restore the body back to its precious homeostasis. With reverence to life, Elena is devout to a personal responsibility of ongoingly restoring her overall health after surviving a fatal accident that ruptured her cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine. Since then, rehabilitation rooted in holistic healing education and practice continue to revitalize her being and alchemically heal her physical and emotional health.
