Upcoming Special Events, Workshops and Retreats
Purpose of Life: A New Moon Workshop & Overnight Sound Bath
Saturday, December 5 – Sunday, December 6, 2026
As the moon fades toward new, join Marian for a two-hour interactive workshop on one of life’s biggest questions: what am I actually here for? Drawing on Dr. David Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness and practical tools for stepping out of old patterns, it’s a guided, participatory conversation. This isn’t a lecture, and you’ll leave with real clarity, not just ideas.
Then settle in for eight uninterrupted hours of live gong, didgeridoo, monochord, handpan, drums, Himalayan singing bowls, and voice. Stay awake, drift in and out, or sleep through it. The vibration works with your intentions either way, and many describe it as the most restorative night’s sleep of their year.
Saturday, December 5 – Sunday, December 6, 2026, at the Holistic Energy Centre in Warrenville, IL. Spots are limited to 12–15 participants. Bring a journal, a blanket, and an open mind.
Sound Under Glass: A Sonic Temple Experience
6:30 pm on Friday, December 11, 2026 | 25 spots | $75 pp
Two dreams. One vision. One goal. Karen of Homegrown Gardens built a magnificent glass greenhouse in Winfield, IL, to grow organic food and plants that nourish. Twelve years after we first met, synchronicity and a shared vision brought us together, and her greenhouse became the home of a new kind of evening: a sonic temple of gongs, singing bowls, didgeridoo, monochord, vocals and handpan. Watch the short video from our premiere in October ’26.
Our first two sound journeys each sold out within two days. Come be nourished and uplifted at the next one, a year-end gratitude evening on Friday, December 11. Watch the video and reserve your spot.
4-Day Rustic Holistic Sanctuary in West Tennessee - April 29 - May 2, 2027
Four days of genuine transformation at the intersection of sound, consciousness, and creative awakening. Immersed in pristine nature at Gray Bear Retreat Center, you'll dismantle limiting patterns and step into authentic presence through multi-layered soundscapes—gongs, singing bowls, didgeridoo, each frequency calibrated to elevate your awareness. Witness sound's visible impact through cymatics. By tapping into photography, develop your creative edge through a heightened visual perception as spiritual practice.
This is metamorphosis, not wellness. You'll dismantle what's kept you stuck, explore choice as power, and embody the art of intentional seeing. Ancient wisdom meets modern consciousness frameworks in service of your emergence. By the final day, you leave fundamentally transformed, carrying embodied knowing of your highest potential and the tools to sustain it.
What People Are Saying
“Wanted to extend a digital hug to you for all that you provided for my guests at the ‘Just Breathe Retreat’ this year. I can't even really find the words to articulate the benefit I believe your methods bring to the spirit of people. This is your true calling. I fully embraced the experience and I am working on nailing down a date for next year.”

“I just wanted to thank you for the incredible sound bath at 105F on Sunday evening. It gave me some really powerful imagery and has inspired some new thinking, helping me to process a roadblock I've been facing. I hope to join more of your sessions after this amazing introduction! Thank you again.”
- Shannon S.
“I got invited by a friend to participate in my 1st gong meditation with Marian. I went in with little meditation experience and absolutely no experience with sound being a tool for meditation and healing. It was such a profound and amazing experience that it became the catalyst for me to begin my own spiritual journey to learn more about myself and how I am living my life. Thank you, I look forward to many more journeys with you.”
- Aaron S.
“Very cool experience...I love your meditation and visualization before the gong begins...last nights‘ was the best so far for me...thank you... The last few in person and live stream sound baths left me feeling euphoric and highly energized. I usually only need 5 hours of sleep afterwards...”
- Jayne H.
The founder of quantum theory stated:
I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness.

a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos.
We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.”
