join us for an afternoon of creativity and community. ritual house is thrilled to host one of addie harrington’s crafternoon series: intro to linocut & print making!

addie will teach you the ins and outs of linocut carving + printing for the first 90 minutes of class, followed by free time to carve further, ask questions, and print to your hearts content.

creating linocut stamps is a practice in balance. you will work with creating visual harmony between the raised areas and the areas where you’ve taken material away. much like the yoga practice, linocut is a practice requiring repeated micro movements - all contributing to the whole-ness of their macro result (print). also not unlike a yoga practice, you will leave this workshop with a fresh perspective for yourself on the imperfection, nuance, delicacy, and serendipity that all things of beauty require.

​the fine “print”- workshop price options are two fold: $55 includes the hours of instruction and supplies needed while there. $80 registration you can take with you all of the tools used to continue this practice at home (supplies pictured). in case of cancellation 50% refund up to 48 hrs before event. no refund possible if cancelled 48 hrs before event.

A sound bath is an improvised concert played with the intent of releasing stress, and can facilitate energetic shifts in your mind and body to bring you into a more balanced state of being. Participants lay in a comfortable position on the floor (savasana), while Daniella plays the crystal bowls and gongs, accompanied by her vocal toning. You will be bathed in healing vibrations that help entrain your brain into a deeply relaxed state where physical, mental, and spiritual healing can take place. ​

please bring your own yoga mat. we recommend you bring a pillow and blanket​ to make your experience cozy, We have studio props, but the bath typically benefits from having more than we can supply for everyone. this event is capacity at 28 participants.

next baths: 11/16, 12/14

“what an incredible introduction to breathwork. the ceremony was amazing, humbling, and life changing.” –n.s.

Reclaim your breath, reclaim life.
In this journey of conscious connected breathwork, you will be supported in discovering your own breath as a profound resource for healing, insight, and coming home to your Self.

As a bridge to the terrain of the body and nervous system, the breath can influence your embodied experience and influence that which lives beyond the reach of the conscious mind.

Held stress and tension can be released, and energy from past experiences fully integrated. The result can be more grounded availability, inner harmony, and embodied peace and vitality.
Breathwork is also an accessible modality to explore psychedelic-like states in which thinking
mind quiets and profound clarity, insight, and creativity becomes available.

As an experienced facilitator and healing guide, Tai holds a strong, loving, and sacred container to explore within, drawing on roots in somatic psychology, shamanism, and yoga. For more
information about breathwork, what to expect in the session, and Tai’s approach, please visit www.swordandlotus.com/breathwork.

While breathwork can be of benefit to anyone seeking to know themselves more deeply, this modality is not recommended for the following conditions: pregnancy, high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease, epilepsy, bipolar disorders or schizophrenia, recent major surgeries, and severe PTSD. For those with histories of more significant trauma, a 1:1 session is recommended. Please contact Tai with any questions.

Precaution: This event involves open-mouth breathing in a group and is thus a high-risk activity for the transmission of Covid. All participants are required to test the morning of the
event, and voluntarily choose to participate despite known risks.
