  • Sound Journey & Gong Wash

    Come celebrate the changing of the season with the Sound Medicine Collective’s Sacred Sound Journey!

    Thursday, September 24th, 7:00–8:30 PM
    $45 by September 15th
    $60 from September 16th

    Autumn is a time to start to slow down, embrace the shifting light and the cooler temperatures, and settle into some stillness after a busy and active summer. Take some time to rest and to go deep into a journey of meditative sound.

    The Sound Medicine Collective will bring their array of beautiful instruments to Northern Life Yoga where you will receive the vibrations of a wall of gongs, hand pan, drums, crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, chimes, mantras, Alchemy Bowls, Didgeridoo, and two giant bowls you can stand in to begin your experience.

    Their sound tours have taken them from New York to the Teton Mountains and now to Sault Ste. Marie! 

  • Some information about Adrienne and Luke: 

    The Sound Medicine Collective is a partnership, between Adrienne White & Luke Andresen, to hold space through sound for seekers on the path to their own healing. They offer a variety of Sound Journeys using sacred instruments they have collected from amazing artisans around the world. Each instruments holds a unique story and an intention for healing. 

    They have witnessed incredible releases from those participating in these sound experiences. The instruments offer an effective and unique modality to release stuck traumas, emotions and allow the body and mind to relax and restore. Luke and Adrienne foster a spirit of compassion and understanding (they are both trained in trauma informed practices and Luke is a veteran who has used these practices to heal from PTSD) which allow journeyers the chance to tap into areas of the psyche they might normally struggle to access. Science is now catching up and is confirming the profound effects that sound can have on humans. A deep state of relaxation and meditation can be achieved.

    The Michigan based couple owns a wellness center called The Collective. Both Adrienne and Luke are certified Master Reiki practitioners, and reiki is woven into the sound healing sessions. They often collaborate with musician friends in their journeys, and each experience is its own unique moment in time.

    The duo has released their first single off their upcoming album (in collaboration w/ Detroit music producer, Gar Den Boi) Frequency Medicine, targeting the Chakras through solfeggio tones, bass beats, and live instruments, in both a guided and unguided version.

with Tancy Linn
Members: $35, Non-members: $40

Step into a welcoming, beginner-friendly introduction to Ayurveda—an ancient wellness system that helps you understand your body’s natural patterns and how to support them. This interactive workshop blends practical teaching, self-reflection, and sensory experience so you can explore what balance looks like for you.

You’ll be guided through Ayurveda’s foundational ideas in clear, relatable terms.

Participants will also complete a guided self-assessment to help identify their natural constitution and current tendencies, followed by discussion and reflection exercises that highlight how daily habits can either support or throw us off balance. You’ll learn the core Ayurvedic principle “like increases like, opposites balance,” and walk away with simple, realistic practices you can begin using right away.

Whether you’re completely new to Ayurveda or curious to deepen your self-awareness, this event offers an engaging, down-to-earth space to learn, taste, reflect, and reconnect with your body’s natural wisdom.

Softening Within: A Yin Yoga & Sound Bath for Emotional Release

with Allie Brawley & Carrie Novak
Non-Member Pricing: $35, Member Pricing: $30

Yin yoga offers a unique invitation: to slow down long enough to listen to what the body is holding.

Softening Within is a deeply nourishing evening practice that blends long-held yin yoga poses with a soothing sound bath, creating space to gently access, feel, and release stored emotions. As we settle into stillness, the connective tissues soften, the nervous system calms, and emotions that live beneath the surface are given room to move and be acknowledged.

This practice is not about forcing release, but about creating safety, support, and presence—allowing whatever arises to be met with compassion. Sound healing will weave throughout the experience, helping integrate sensation and emotion while guiding the body toward rest and balance.

No prior yoga experience is necessary. This workshop is ideal for anyone seeking emotional grounding, gentle self-inquiry, or a quiet reset during the transition toward spring.

Come exactly as you are.
Leave feeling lighter, steadier, and more connected within.

✨ All levels welcome
✨ Deeply supported yin poses
✨ A safe space for rest and release

Begin the new year with clarity, intention, and deep restoration. This special workshop invites you to pause, reflect, and gently set intentions for 2026—and the path ahead through a nurturing blend of mindful reflection, yin yoga, and a soothing sound bath.

The workshop concludes with a deeply relaxing sound bath, where calming tones and vibrations support rest, integration, and renewal—leaving you grounded, centered, and refreshed.

This workshop is suitable for all levels and requires no prior yoga experience. Come exactly as you are, and leave feeling supported, aligned, and open to what’s possible.
