Rooted in the moon Retreat Saturday August 23, 2025
A Serene, Tranquil, Restorative Day Retreat
Join Us for a Celestial Gathering – New Moon, August 23, 2025
Come replenish your spirit and reconnect with your inner self during the sacred energy of the New Moon. Set within our serene healing gardens, this day-long retreat is a journey of openness, renewal, and deep receiving.
We begin with a clearing and opening ceremony, followed by yoga on our beautiful outdoor deck, leading into a transformative sound healing and hypnotherapy bath.
After a nourishing, soulful lunch, you’ll embark on a personal pilgrimage through our medieval-style labyrinth walk and ceremony, allowing space for deep reflection and insight.
We’ll close the day in community with a group integration process and a meditative walk through the gardens, grounding the energies of the day before gently returning to the world.
✨ All are welcome. Come as you are, and leave replenished.

Hypnotherapy with Ashley Johnson
"What is easiest to see is often overlooked"
"WHAT IS EASIEST TO SEE IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED". MIlton H. Eriskson
Milton Erickson, M.D. as one of the greatest hypnotherapists of our time, instructs us to use our unconscious to lead our greatest lives. He proposed that one of the ways to enter into the unconscious was through trance, or hypnotherapy. This is a form of deep relaxation, fostered at the Surya Chandra Center by talented and experienced hypnotherapist Ashley Johnson.
Ashley is a certified clinical hypnotherapist with a passion for guiding others back to their inner power through subconscious and unconscious healing. Her journey began in holistic dentistry where she supported patients with anxiety and became fascinated by the mind body connection. After studying Clinical Hypnotherapy at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, Ashley deepened her work around trauma, anxiety and empowerment -- especially for mothers. Her own hypnobirthing experience inspired her to support women through pregnancy and postpartum with gentle, subconscious tools. Now as a mother and a healer, Ashley brings warmth, intuition, and deep presence to every session she leads -- helping others reconnect with their healing potential.

Sound bathing with Judi Cunningham
CAN YOU HEAR THAT?
Sometimes internal change and transformation happens in an instant, and by mechanisms we have yet to discover. Sometimes this happens in a language that we have yet to use in a different way. Getting immersed in the language of sound can be one of the most powerful ways to experience a healing.
A sound bath is an amazing opportunity to receive a healing that can be unexpected and profound.
Judith Cunningham is our Sound Bath Practitioner. She is also a HeartMath mentor, and author dedicated to guiding others towards inner balance, emotional healing and deep self connection. She believes that true healing begins when we listen -- to ourselves, our hearts, and the subtle energies around us. Her masterful and crystal clear aura allows the sound she produces to create sacred spaces where individuals can realign their energy, release emotional blockages, and amplify their intentions.
