She offers a grounded approach to holistic wellbeing and spirituality, incorporating meditation, sound healing, and reiki. Expect a balance blend of spirit and science, with a heaping dash of hilaritas. Nicole started singing and playing musical instruments at a very young age, and has always had an intuitive understanding of the healing power of music. Guided by that inner-knowing, over the past 12 years Nicole has honed her musical abilities through deep plant medicine explorations and self-study . She has held space for dozens of weekend retreats, for hundreds of people, during which she did intense personal shadow work, as well as learned how to use music to intentionally support the bodies natural capacity for healing and catharsis. She began sharing songs during savasana in her yoga classes, then started collaborating with other musicians on music + yoga workshops, and eventually started writing her own music, mostly acapella, melodic vocals. In 2018, Nicole invested in a set of crystal alchemy singing bowls for support with processing grief during a period of profound loss, and they have since become the centerpiece of the Alchemia Sound experience. Whether you are in search of support with prep or integration for your psychedelic plant medicine work, or looking for a gentler, less physically and mentally taxing way to experience catharsis and transformation, or just generally looking for guidance on your healing journey, Nicole is at your service. She is a certified Yoga Instructor (YogaWorks 2009), Herbalist (Peeka Trenkle 2014) and Reiki Master (Asa Angel Holistic Healing 2022).
I find it amusing and kind of disturbing to watch my neighbors and/or their landscaping workers blow leaves around for hours, only to the wind pick up and blow them right back into the yard or driveway they just cleared. Why pollute the environment with gas powered machines and their noises for such a futile endeavor? Mother Nature will always win! Meanwhile my beloved trash panda, Nathan Sander, is going around collecting them to spread in our garden as mulch. Leave the LEAVES!!!!!!!!

Be mindful to whom or what you give your power and energy. These guru types are master manipulators.
There's also this article about Andrew Huberman - https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/andrew-huberman-podcast-stanford-joe-rogan.html
And a documentary coming out on October 23rd on MAX about the abuse within the kundalini yoga Cult.
These days I prefer to do my spiritual practices solo or with a very small group of trusted peers, because these charismatic leaders, and their culty communities, organizations and trainings and podcast are not to be trusted.

The outside world knows Wim Hof as the eccentric Iceman. His family suffered domestic violence While Wim Hof was becoming one of the most famous health gurus in the world, his family at the time had to endure his physical and mental aggressiveness. Now that a movie about his life is in the making, his ex, their son, and her other children speak out.

There is still space if you would like to join us for some gentle, intentional movement, breath work, and sound healing to align with the seasonal energies!
