“I usually have a hard time calming my mind and body to be able to truly rest, due to anxiety, but during the Kava ceremony and sound bath, I was able to sink into a state of deep grounding and relaxation. Her knowledge and intuitive connection to everyone in the room made the experience even more special!”

“Remembering to slow down and be present and connect to myself and nature is a reminder how interconnected everything and everyone is. It reminded me of how euphoric and beautiful our world is and the people in it. Also left feeling a lightness, playfulness and joy I have not felt in a while.”

“Karissa was a lovely guide, and deeply listened to why we were interested in this practice and experience. It is evident she has a lot of wisdom and is very dedicated to sharing it with others. There was a childlike wonder unlocked by Karissa’s prompts. There is so much depth available just by opening the senses and slowing.”
