Women's Sacred Healing Moon Circle

Thursday, December 12

6:30 p.m. - 7:45 p.m.

Presented by Diane Stakoe,
CRMT, LMBT, CHT, CHLC, CYTT

Experience Intuitive Holistic Healing

Offered in-person only.

Scheduled monthly around the full moon this fall, Diane Stakoe -- intuitive healer, channel, and energy alchemist -- will lovingly lead a circle of women to gather for a sacred ceremony to build community, express, create, and ultimately shift away and heal from the denser energies that have held us back from living into our fullest potential as a soul. By working with the potency of the full moon energies, gentle movement of the body, breathwork, guided meditation, sound frequency, and channeled energy, we lock into the powers that are bigger than ourselves. We can feel a sense of deeper connection with all life in the natural world, the Universe, and each other. This sense of connection fuels our abilities to see beyond ourselves and engage with the highest vibrations of the Universe. When we tap into these vibrations, we are presented with opportunities to step into our highest selves and will often find that abundance has been waiting for us to greet all along.

Dress in loose, comfortable layers, and feel free to bring any bolsters, pillows or blankets for your additional support, as well as water and a journal or something to write with. Chairs and yoga mats are available. It is best to refrain from eating a large meal within one hour of this sacred gathering. You are invited to bring a sacred object from nature to share with the circle. This is an in-person event only; no Zoom.

Diane Stakoe is a licensed and certified mind-body therapist, transpersonal hypnotist, reiki master teacher, and spiritual guide. She began unexpectedly channeling Light Language (the language of the soul) in 2022 and has since brought these higher vibrational frequencies into the profound healing work she implements with her clients and in groups.

Sacred Circle Fee: $30 per session or $110 paid in full for all four dates.
