Peace Activist / Mentor / Sound Healer

The New Year is a great time to tap into the energy of possibility!  We can sometimes get locked into old habits and begin to feel stuck, bored or dissatisfied.  Machai St. Rain will be sharing fun, practical tools to connect with the spirit of creativity and newness in even the most mundane moments.  Machai’s friend, Angela Gabriel, a performer, teacher, and musician will be joining her in presenting special music and meditation in this most engaging service.
