INTO THE DEEP
A Night of Water, Sound & Surrender
An Overnight Sound Ritual
Guided by Shanti & Michelle
As the veil between worlds grows thin, we gather for an evening of water, sound and surrender.
Held on the eve of Halloween, during the deep waters of Scorpio season, Into the Deep is an invitation to cross a threshold. To step away from the noise of everyday life and enter a space of stillness, mystery and profound rest.
Inspired by the compassionate presence of Quan Yin, the Chinese bodhisattva of compassion and mercy, we explore the qualities of water: listening, receptivity, softness and the wisdom of surrender.
Water does not force its way. It moves, adapts, receives and carries us.
Through cacao, Blue Lotus, nourishing food, prayer, gentle movement and the immersive vibrations of sound, we create a space to soften the body, quiet the mind and reconnect with what lies beneath the surface.
The arrival:
We begin by gathering slowly, allowing the outside world to soften behind us.
Over cacao and Blue Lotus, we will arrive into the space, connect with one another and begin opening to the evening’s theme.
The Sharing Circle:
Michelle will guide a gentle sharing circle, creating space for connection, reflection and the unfolding of the evening’s theme.
She will introduce a prayer and intention practice, bringing a focused energy into the circle and inviting everyone to gather their presence, open their hearts and bring their own energy into the prayer.
Together, we will explore what it means to cross a threshold, to listen inwardly and to make space for what is ready to be received.
A Warming Dinner:
After the sharing circle and prayer, we will enjoy a warming, nourishing dinner together.
A moment to ground, connect and share food before entering the yurt and beginning our journey into the deep.
The Sound Journey:
Inside the yurt, Shanti will guide you through a deeply immersive sound journey, weaving together meditation, breath, somatic awareness and the enveloping vibrations of sound.
The practice will invite you to release the effort of doing, soften the body and surrender into the present moment.
The sound journey will gently come to an end, leaving space for you to remain in stillness and naturally drift into sleep.
The sound will not continue throughout the night. Instead, the evening will open into a spacious night of rest, allowing each person to sleep, dream and receive in their own way.
Overnight Rest:
The overnight stay is optional.
You are welcome to remain in the yurt and sleep within the space, held by the quiet atmosphere of the evening. Shanti and Michelle will also stay overnight.
If you prefer, you may simply take part in the evening ritual and return home afterwards.
The Morning:
We will begin the morning gently, with soft movement and an invitation to reconnect with the body after the night.
A nourishing breakfast will be shared together, followed by time for reflection, integration and quiet connection.
Rather than rushing back into the outside world, we will give ourselves space to notice what has shifted, what has softened and what may be ready to emerge.

An Invitation:
This is an invitation to enter the unknown without needing to understand it.
To let yourself be held by the darkness, the water, the sound and the silence.
To listen beneath the surface.
To soften what has been held too tightly.
To surrender, not as a way of giving up, but as a way of allowing life to move through you.
Come as you are.
Leave space for what may unfold.
With warmth, Shanti & Michelle
