Libra Season is a powerful time to take notice of what feels IN and OUT of alignment in your relationships with self, others, and your environment. It’s a powerful time to adorn your physical space and your body with items that represent YOUR vibe. The more YOU you are, the more you attract your people. Join us for a special in-person event at Strewn in Pilsen. This space is dripping with personality and has a vibe so strong the first time Elizabeth walked in - she missed the bus she was waiting for because she was so absorbed in looking at all the interesting items.
We’ll begin by co-creating a giant mandala made of flower petals and autumn leaves. We’ll bring items for the group but you are welcome to bring items as well (flower petals, fall leaves, etc). Surrounded by the beauty of Strewn’s private patio, we’ll bless the space with sound & our intentions, take part in sipping and singing to cacao plant, and then settle in for a sweet sound journey with crystal bowls, gong, and reiki. We want to support the community in ending the year feeling centered, rejuvenated, and energetically restored. Cacao is a huge heart opener. Let’s fully feel the beauty of our surroundings and enjoy a seasonal reset.
Whether you have a daily meditation practice or you’ve never meditated before, come! All are welcome. Plant Medicine & Sound are so powerful. It will do all the work. All you need to do is get cozy and ready to receive.
What to Bring:
Mat, Blankets, and Cushions (dress to be outside)
Any other items that will make meditation and relaxation cozy.
Fall Items for Mandala (Optional)
Journal, Paper, & Pen (Optional)
The store will be open before and after our event - so plan accordingly to do a little browsing at all their unique items. A special thanks to Strewn for hosting us in their beautiful space. Check out more about their store, story, and community events below.
Note: Aim to arrive at least by 1pm to give yourself time to find a parking spot.

More About Your Hosts:
Cat Dughi Fritz is an energy healer and Reiki Master Teacher with over a decade of practice, and has experienced a lifelong connection to spirits, nature, and the unexplained (even before she could explain them). She has given healings and Reiki attunements across the US and as far away as Sydney, Australia. Cat enjoys nothing more than geeking out over energy work, metaphysics, and spirituality. Okay, food is a close second. IG @cat_dughi
Stephanie Lopez – born and raised in Chicago – was introduced to spiritual practices at a very young age by her mother who was an energy healer and yogi. As an adult, Stephanie’s first Kundalini Yoga class was Early Morning Sadhana (2.5 hours of chanting at 4:30am) and a cord struck inside her that had long been forgotten as a child. She is now a certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher herself, and has a deep reverence for her personal Sadhana practice and sound healing. Her intention is to spread the awareness of these spiritual tools and practices to others so that they are able to experience them for themselves. IG @laorquideavioleta
