Finding Your Third Line: Soundbath Journeys with Jaia Amara
Jaia Amara, a nationally sought-after sacred arts practitioner, returns to Washington, DC for a limited Soundbath Journey series — three immersive 90-minute experiences over two days designed to support nervous system regulation, energetic coherence, and deep integration.
Each session begins with guided intention-setting and breathwork, followed by a layered vibrational soundscape that quiets mental noise, restores internal rhythm, and creates space for insight, release, and renewal. Through resonance and frequency, the body is invited into recalibration — strengthening what is already within while opening space for what’s next.

Finding Your Third Line: Sanctuary
In collaboration with Blackberry Mountain’s world-renowned Sacred Arts practitioner, Jaia Amara, our SANCTUARY Winter Retreat offers a unique, guided archetype exploration of the deeper patterns, roles, and energies currently shaping your life (often ones operating beneath conscious awareness).
Through reflection and facilitated insight, you’ll gain clarity around what is ready to be released and what is asking to be nurtured as you step into the New Year. Weaving in somatic movement and guided energy release, this retreat is designed to integrate these insights and bring them fully into the body. Ending with an otherworldly Soundbath journey, your nervous system will settle and the mind will soften, allowing the experience to anchor deeply on a cellular level.

As the year draws to a close, Transcendence invites you to pause, reset, and reconnect with the deeper wisdom that already lives within you. This immersive experience centers on remembrance—the ways our bodies and minds carry patterns, intuition, and insight that quietly shape how we move through the world.
If you’ve ever noticed recurring cycles, strong intuitive pulls, or flashes of déjà vu, this gathering offers space to explore what those signals might reveal. Through breathwork, sound, and guided meditation, we’ll gently regulate the nervous system, restoring balance and opening access to grounded awareness and deeper knowing.
Rather than focusing on release, Transcendence is about integration—recognizing what’s ready to be understood and reconnected, so that energy and perspective can move forward with greater coherence.
