This fall equinox, join Marian for a two-hour interactive workshop built around one of life's biggest questions: what am I actually here for? Drawing on Dr. David Hawkins' Map of Consciousness and practical tools for stepping out of old patterns and into conscious creation of your life, this isn't a lecture — it's a guided, participatory conversation where you'll leave with real clarity, not just ideas.
From there, the evening flows directly into an immersive overnight sound bath — eight uninterrupted hours of gong, didgeridoo, handpan, drums, singing bowls, and voice enveloping you in a cocoon of healing, restorative, and otherworldly frequencies to rejuvenate mind, body, and soul. Stay awake the whole night, drift in and out, or sleep through it — however you receive it, the vibration works with your placed intentions, carrying everything you've discovered deep into the body. Many describe it as the most restorative — and revealing — night's sleep of their year.
Spots for this equinox gathering are limited to keep the experience intimate and personal. If you're ready to move from searching for your purpose to living it, reserve your place now — bring a journal, a blanket, and an open mind.
Early registration is NOW available at $175…
Details of the Transformational Overnight Awakenings event:
Purpose of Life: A Fall Equinox Workshop & Overnight Sound Journey
Part One: The Workshop (2 hours)
We begin with intention-setting and an honest question: what is my life actually for? Drawing on Dr. David Hawkins' Map of Consciousness and the TED* (The Empowerment Dynamic) framework, we'll trace the path from Courage through Neutrality, Willingness, and Acceptance — the very corridor your own consciousness travels as you move from searching for purpose to living it. This isn't about being told what your purpose is — it's about illuminating what you may already sense, deep down, and helping it come into clearer focus.
At the heart of this work is a single shift: from Victim to Creator — from why is this happening to me to what do I choose to create. Through guided reflection and small-group sharing, in a space where participants consistently open up without hesitation, you'll identify what's kept you stuck and consciously choose your next step forward.
Part Two: The 8-Hour Sound Bath
From there, the evening flows into an immersive overnight sound bath — eight uninterrupted hours of gong, didgeridoo, handpan, drums, singing bowls, and voice, enveloping you in a cocoon of healing, restorative, and otherworldly frequencies. Think of this as the portal: where the insight from the workshop moves from idea into felt possibility. This isn't passive listening; it's nervous-system integration, letting what you've claimed take root in the body itself. Stay awake, drift in and out, or sleep through it — the vibration works with the intention you've placed, either way. There are no promises of what awaits — only an open door. Many describe it as the most restorative — and revealing — night's sleep of their year.

The only pre-requisite for participation in this unique program is to be open-minded, give yourself permission to relax, to “drift in and out” throughout the night (it is not required to stay awake all night), and to allow sound, vibration, harmonics, intention and the unique space to serve as a psycho-acoustic gateway to a meditative and transformative inner dimension and heightened states of consciousness.
