6:30-7:45pm ET

The traditional Tibetan Chö ceremony combines sacred song, ritual instruments, and chanting to purify the five elements which compose the body and mind. It is an approach for clearing the deeper causes of illness believed to be psychological and karmic.

It can be used to resolve stubborn obstacles, either energetic or ancestral, that are difficult to access or unresponsive to other therapies. While resolving these influences, it improves health and generates refreshed spiritual consciousness.

Traditionally, Chö rituals have been offered to achieve numerous purposes:

• severing attachments which hinder our ability to perceive clearly and live freely
• clearing obstacles that impede spiritual progress
• pacifying afflictive emotions
• balancing the five elements that dictate health in the body
• practicing generosity and compassion
• harmonizing land spirits
• supplicating beneficent deities for blessings

While Chö is a Vajrayana Buddhist ritual, you need not be Buddhist to attend, nor will you have to chant in Tibetan. It is helpful to set an intention to direct the focus of the ceremony but otherwise nothing is required of guests but to relax and receive. After participating, most feel light, uplifted and refreshed.

Charleston Community Deathcare

A COLLECTIVE FOR THE DYING AND THEIR LOVED ONES

Traditionally deathcare was offered in community. It is also one of the ways in which community is formed. Before dying became a medicalized event and before embalming practices and funerals became an industry, we cared for our own. We knew our loved ones' wishes and carried them out with the support of our network. Final acts of care were carried out by loving hands, not outsourced to professionals. This contact and presence with the reality of death affected the way we grieved and also how we experienced our own mortality. Facing the inevitability of one of life's most powerful passages with community empowered us to live more fully.

If you have any desire to be of service at end of life in any capacity (healing arts, doula, legal, music, green burial etc) please join our collective!

We meet at Ripple:

701 East Bay Street Suite 121

GPS will direct you to the main Mercantile & Mash lot; we are located in the lot behind Rappahannock Oyster Bar, on the corner of East Bay and Blake Street. East Bay facing side. Parking lot is monitored but not so much on weekends.

Parking lot is monitored but not so much in the evenings. Street parking on Blake St for anyone that wants to play it safe.

Remote Healing Chö Ceremony, Bhutan

REMOTE SPIRITUAL HEALING
Experience the Power of Distance Tibetan Healing Chö

Chö (Cutting Through) is a remarkable healing and transformative practice manifested by Wisdom Mind of the enlightened female adept MaChik (One Mother) Labdrön in Tibet over 1,000 years ago. This system has maintained an unbroken lineage of adepts and devoted practitioners, with its profound ability to:

1. Heal physical illness, especially stubborn chronic conditions.
2. Heal the mind and emotions, purifying both negativity and fear.
3. Clear life obstacles in one’s career, relationships, finances, etc.
4. Accelerate spiritual development and transformation.
5. Enhance our personal transformation and unique journey
6. Sweep away negative forces, curses and harmful influences.
 

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

This year I will be in Bhutan with my mentor Lama Jinpa, for a special full day of healing practices. It will include the Precious Rosary of Chö, Fire Ritual and Sacred Dance (cham) at Gatsel Choling Monastery. Our Chö master, Lama Choying, holds the rare original lineage from the the seat of MaChik, the Copper Colored Mountain in Tibet. The ceremonies will be powerful and incisive for breaking through some of the intractable obstacles of our time. Traditionally, the ritual has been used to benefit remote participants whilst your offerings support the monastery, the Chö tradition and liberation from deep-seated hindrances.


YOUR HEALING PACKET

To connect energetically with this profound healing practice, send along:
1. Your PHOTO of a decent size
2. Your birthdate
TAPE ON THE BACK:
3. A SINGLE STRAND of hair
4. A small square or label from an unwashed piece of clothing
 

Requested donation is $60-$100 to support the event and monastery. Please Venmo @Paige-Hetherington or send a check. The event is in mid-October and packets need to be received by September 25 to be placed within the ceremony.

New Moon Tibetan Healing Chö X Gongbath w/ Awaken Spanda
Aug
23

New Moon Tibetan Healing Chö X Gongbath w/ Awaken Spanda

Join us for two hours of transformation - body tapping, intention setting, Tibetan Healing Chö Ceremony, Gong Bath and labyrinth walk.

If you are attending in person, please bring a mat to lie on and arrive a few minutes early to get comfortable. If you need financial assistance please get in touch.

The New Moon is a timespace where we can deeply evaluate and make shifts we need in order to support our highest alignment. As we dial into the cyclical cycle we will take time to write down some insights for ourselves for the next 28 days. This will support us in meeting your manifestations in real time.

The signature Awaken Spanda Gongbath is an integrative healing modality that increases awareness within the whole of our being by supporting emotional, psychological, physiological, and spiritual union.

The gong serves to slow down the brainwaves, bringing you into a deep meditative state which allows the parasympathetic nervous system to enter into its optimal condition for healing. The sound waves induced by the gong penetrate on a physical level to rearrange molecules and break apart any energetic blockages. This is a non-invasive therapy that has the potential to align miracles within your experience and also works beautifully in partnership with other therapies.

As you shift limited conditioning physically, emotionally, and psychologically you will not only feel lighter energetically, but you will begin to navigate life with more confidence and ease. As you integrate the unconscious into conscious awareness through an integral gongbath the possibilities become endless and liberation a reality.

And if you are just simply here for the journey, lets ride...

Death Cafe

Contemplative preparation utilizes various exercises that help cultivate a relationship with our dying. Guided meditation has proven to be one of the most beneficial as mindfulness of our mortality alleviates fears and informs how we wish to live. Gaining this clarity of authentic path brings greater ease when the time comes to let go. While providing a space to gently broach our feelings, reactions and insights, what we perceive as most meaningful also comes into a clearer view.

ultraUMWELT

The specific way in which organisms of a particular species perceive and experience the world, shaped by the capabilities of their sensory organs and perceptual systems.

Visceral, intuitive, loosening our grip on edges...

Join us for a special experience as Rosy Keyser's works spark dissolution of limited, individual perception.


The Heat Synth was an invention born of a need and a search- a studio process that demanded more specific conditions that would get closer to reenacting the immediacy of nature. Canvas is fed under a guide, across a hot steel surface, and then again under an exit guide. I can work into a ‘live’ surface while the wax ground is fluid and open. Sometimes there is an underpainting whose edges are asked to play (recalibrate) with the new, more fluid forms and gestures. This process happens in a specific time frame, before the surface cools and settles, and allows actions to play out in the heat of the moment. These actions may be, but not limited to, painted marks, printed forms, dragged zones, and removals. There is an ‘all-at-onceness’, an embrace of chance image-making, and a fostering of conditions that are unpredictably beautiful and impossible to fully control. The intentions that I bring to the process are very much embodied as there is no time to overthink. This process harnesses a learned capacity to move through chaos with buoyancy, provisionally, a skill acquired in childhood amidst circumstances of loss and uncertainty. Additionally, the materials (oils, wax, resins) respond with their own wills. And this ‘battle of lovers’ (1. James Baldwin) plays out on a number of different surfaces or fields that also have their own natures. The canvas is rendered more transparent, more responsive, more synthesized.

The Chö ceremony, with its goal of ‘cutting’ that which is hindering our achievement of liberation is very much related to the thesis of ultraUMWELT. In the spirit of establishing an expanded Umwelt, we elect to share our edges, and meet in a sort of ‘sensory commons’. The Chö, through an array of visualizations, song, music, and prayer, helps compel an understanding of indivisibility of self and others. It encourages a letting go vis à vis an offering of the body and the spirit. These paintings reveal shared fields of energy, diffuse edges, and forms that come and go through reversals, reoccurrences, temporal conditions, and synchronicities. -Rosy Keyser
