BEDROOMS: healers offering up energy magic, soul coaching, sound bridging, and flower essences
TEAS TABLE: steeping blends and stories with Andy Big Hair
KITCHEN: Joe B from Dropping Beets is creating our bodies through Middle Eastern snacky delights
FAMILY ROOM: feet up, lounge with your larger soul family
WOMB ROOM: a low-lit nook of being and return with sheepskins and pillows; for you and you only…or maybe with a friend
ORACLE LOFT: tuning into how life is wanting to live its beauty and shine through you, plus Thai massage — Christine will teach you the ways
LIVING ALTAR: bring something, take something, move the altar items around, let it breathe and play, let yourself breathe and play, and create some spaciousness in your soul
STUDIO: sound bridging meets intuitive art w/D&M, raw crooning with Zoe Elkin, open-mic/book, a live podcast with the Night Sect, a late night (f)ound bath with JR, and probably a couple of snakes if the teens show up
SECRET ROOM: only you will know
OPEN-BOOK: Each of us is a living book. So, let’s open our hearts and be an open book! Take a chapter of your life that’s informed who you are and live it out loud with the crowd. Whether you talk the story, music it with a ballad, or dance it, mime it or whisper it with your whole heart, share it with the people and allow it to live through them. Ask questions, receive questions, and dialogue into connection and re-creation — for you and everyone in the room. This is all about interactive conversation between you and the audience; this is how we find ourselves in each other, this is how we find ourselves through each another. This is how community heals and transforms.
Each person has up to 15 minutes for their story. Sign up at soullounge33@gmail.com or on the fly when you’re at the lounge!
The Soul Lounge is a multi-generational space, and it’s a beacon in Bend where resonant souls can unite, be reminders for who we are and who we are to each other, and have our souls nourished by local healers, artists and musicians offering up their gifts. We also provide locally sourced and made snacks, a teas table, womb room, and a communal space for musicians, dance, storytelling, and however else life is calling. There’s also a secret room, but no doubt it will find you.
The Soul Lounge is fluid and ever-changing. There’s a semblance of a schedule, but it’s really a home and the ensemble cast is the community itself. Yes, there are healers in the early hours, snacks and tea throughout the evening, and live happenings and performances scattered throughout. But, like any home, it will take on a life of its own as you, the community, fill its rooms with everything living through you!
