Beach Qigong & Sound Bath

Sunday, August 23rd • 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Avila Beach, California

Nourish your body.
Calm your mind.
Embody your spirit.

Join us for a relaxing and restorative morning designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and experience the healing power of nature, movement, stillness, and sound.

We'll begin on the shores of Avila Beach where the rhythm of the ocean becomes our backdrop for a gentle Qigong practice with Cyndi Silva. This sequence is designed to calm your nervous system, improve circulation, reduce stress, and awaken our body's natural healing response in preparation for sound healing.

Afterward, you'll have time to enjoy the beach, connect with other participants, grab a coffee, or simply soak in the beauty of the morning before we gather indoors for a deeply restorative Sound Bath with Shellie Schaffer.

Sound Bath
Led by Shellie Schaffer

We will gather in the beautiful Community Center above the Avila Beach Post Office for a restorative and relaxing Sound Bath experience led by Shellie Schaffer.

The luminous tones of crystal singing bowls become a sanctuary of sound, quieting the mind, calming the nervous system, and inviting the heart to rest in a place of peace, presence, and gentle renewal.

Shellie Schaffer is a death doula and grief coach who holds sacred space for the emotional journey of facing end of life and navigating grief. Through sound healing, compassionate presence, ceremony, and the healing resonance of crystal singing bowls, she supports individuals and families as they move through loss, fear, love, and transformation in their own way. Her sound offerings invite deep peace, calm the nervous system, and create a sanctuary where the heart can soften, emotions can be honored, and healing can gently unfold.

This experience is perfect for:

Beginners and experienced practitioners

Anyone feeling stressed or overwhelmed

People seeking relaxation and renewal
