Everyone has a story.

A Storytelling Event Raising Funds for the Global Mala, a night where teachers, students, friends, entrepreneurs, and community members will tell their stories LIVE at The WhiteChapel Project.
Here are the details for the night – please join us! There is a $15 suggested donation for the Global Mala Project.

Sound Temple: ReCalibrate the Energy Body with Paul Temple
June 13, 2019 at Honor Yoga in North Brunswick
Sound Temple is a sonic sanctuary where we can remember ourselves as divine, vibrational beings and bathe in the healing sound of Tibetan Bowls and mantras. It is a sacred space to rest, renew — and to remember our luminous essence and connection with quantum consciousness. Meditating with the bowls can accelerate the evolution of consciousness by enhancing intuitive and vibrational sensitivities.
In the Sound Temple we will attune our energy bodies to the pure diamond-light transmission from these ancient Himalayan healing instruments, then chant together to clear our chakras.
It is important, in this time of outer turbulence, to connect with our inner wisdom and light. This gathering is a time to recalibrate our energy bodies to the new vibrations of awakened potential. Peaceful. Penetrating. Pure.
