Join us for one of our

Healing Gatherings

There’s something sacred about healing in circle—about coming together, in all our messiness and magic, to remember we’re not meant to do this alone. My gatherings are spaces of deep exhale. Whether it’s the resonance of a sound bath, the quiet power of self-Reiki shared in community, or the soul-level connection of a women’s circle, these moments are where we return to ourselves… together. 

In-Person Healing Events in Western New York

We love gathering in person in the Lewiston, NY area. You’ll find us at beautiful spaces like Xochiyapa Yoga, Full Circle Mind & Body, and local community centers like the Lewiston Council on the Arts for sound baths, women’s circles, and guided self-Reiki practice. Join us at one of these upcoming events by registering on Eventbrite.

Self-Reiki Sanctuary

An hour to restore your energy & connect inwards.

Join Reiki Master Teacher and Sound Healer Vera Chapman for a meaningful self-care experience that combines the restorative practice of self-Reiki with a powerful healing sound immersion.

We meet on every third Thursday of the month from 6-7:30pm at Xochiyapa Yoga in Niagara Falls, NY.

NOTE: This program is for Level-1+ certified Reiki practitioners from any lineage.

Community Sound Baths

Find deep rest and relaxation in community

A gentle way to experience the healing power of vibration in a shared, supportive space. Through crystal singing bowls, gongs, and intentional sound, these gatherings help calm the nervous system, release emotional tension, and reconnect you with your inner stillness. Many women find these events to be a beautiful complement to one-on-one Reiki sessions, offering restoration, reflection, and community. Upcoming offerings are listed below:

Tender Circle

An hour to pause & return to yourself.

In a world that demands speed, perfection, and hustle, Tender Circle offers something radical: space to soften, space to stay, and space to heal. Grounded, trauma-informed, and held within a confidential, compassionate container, the Tender Circle is a monthly women’s circle designed to restore your nervous system, nourish your energy, and reconnect you to your deepest knowing.

Join us every first Sunday of the month from 10-11 am at The Plant Shack by H.Co in Lewiston, NY, and experience a new way of being — one rooted in presence, resonance, and community. Learn more.

Creative Living

A community conversation series

Join the Lewiston Council on the Arts for a monthly gathering exploring creativity, connection, and meaningful conversation. Each session centers on themes such as identity, joy, change, intuition, and belonging through short readings, reflection, and discussion. Open to all—artists and non-artists alike—these welcoming gatherings invite participants to slow down, share perspectives, and explore creativity as a way of living more thoughtfully and intentionally.

The Artist's Way

A creative & spiritual discovery program

The Artist’s Way is a 12-week guided journey of creative and spiritual self-discovery based on the book by Julia Cameron. Through simple daily practices, reflection, and supportive community, participants reconnect with their creativity, deepen their inner listening, and gently release the fears and habits that block authentic expression. 

This program tends to fill quickly, and a waitlist is now open for the next offering in Lewiston, NY, or online.
