Engaging the Voice for Healing with the Five Warrior Syllables

Saturday, May 16, 2026 from 10:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. NY time

Humans are deeply sensitive and intelligent beings. And yet, when we are caught up in the busyness of life, we are often disconnected from our inherent resourcefulness and wisdom. In this interactive 5.5-hour online retreat, you’ll be introduced to the Five Warrior Syllables, a powerful meditation practice that helps us connect with five energetic centers in the body. Through breath, sound, and awareness, we meet and metabolize limiting habits held in the body, breath, and mind and discover fresh and open spaces within that support presence, creativity, and resilience.
