Long before Friday the 13th was called unlucky, it was a day held sacred to the Goddess. It carried the moon, intuition, and the rites of women who trusted their own truth. On this Friday the 13th, we come together to reclaim that meaning and to create.

Join Amy Hudson of The Sound Healing Center of Lexington and Lynna Nguyen of Creatures of Whim for Goddess Day, a circle rooted in the ancient tradition of women gathering to share wisdom and celebrate the feminine. This evening will include a sound bath, along with ceremony and community, as we honor the Goddess in all her forms.

Throughout the evening, we will move through the many faces of the Divine Feminine. The fierce clearer who carries sacred rage and confronts what no longer serves us. The compassionate mother who holds our grief with tenderness. The one who teaches us to soften and receive. The keeper of ancient intuition and feminine wisdom. The guardian of the threshold who meets us in our shadow and our voice. The one alive in sensuality, pleasure, and creative fire. The wild and autonomous one, reclaiming what was suppressed. The devoted one, embodied in sacred love. And the one rising into her own sovereignty and spiritual mastery.

Each of these faces holds something we have been taught to separate: a Light Feminine, the parts of us the world has always found acceptable to show, and a Dark Feminine, the parts labeled dangerous, difficult, or too much, and taught to stay hidden to keep us safe. On this night, we honor both. We give voice and space to the shadow as fully as we celebrate the light, because becoming whole asks for all of her.

This circle welcomes women and all who resonate with the Divine Feminine. If you feel called to create something new this Friday the 13th, to honor every part of the feminine you carry, we would love to hold this space with you.

Creative Sound: A Gratitude Jar + Sound Healing Workshop

Saturday, November 14, 2026 | 6:00–8:00 PM

As the year winds down toward the darker months, there's something grounding about pausing to name what we're grateful for and giving that gratitude a physical form. This workshop, led by Meredith Pritchett, pairs two practices that complement each other beautifully: hands-on creativity and deep, receptive sound.

We'll start the evening together making gratitude jars, small vessels to hold what you're carrying gratitude for right now. There's no right way to do it. Some people write single words on slips of paper, others tuck in photos or small objects that hold meaning. All you need is a little time and openness; every material is provided. It's a slower kind of making, the kind that lets your mind wander toward what you actually value this season.

From there, we'll set our jars aside and settle in for an hour of immersive sound healing. Singing bowls, drums, chimes, and more will carry the room somewhere slower. You don't need to do anything during this part except let yourself receive it. Lie back, breathe, and be.

This gathering is intentionally small, capped at 8 people, so there's space to create, connect, and settle into the experience without rushing. Snacks and drinks are provided throughout the evening.

If you feel called to close out the season this way, we'd love to have you.

The evening includes:

• 1 hour of creative gratitude jar making

• 1 hour of sound healing

• All creative supplies provided

• Snacks & drinks provided

• An intimate group experience, limited to 8 people

What to bring:
If you'd like, feel free to bring a photo or small object that holds meaning for you, something you'd want to include in your jar. This is optional; plenty of supplies will be on hand either way.

The Settle Into Stillness Ensemble stands apart from the ever-growing landscape of mindfulness-based musical offerings. By seamlessly weaving together diverse world music instrumentation, such as the mesmerizing handpan, the enchanting didgeridoo, the angelic beauty of the harp, the gentle resonance of gongs, the ethereal tones of crystal singing bowls and setting it all to the backbeat of an eclectic variety of world percussion instruments, the ensemble has crafted a truly extraordinary experience. Each element is carefully chosen and delivered with intention, creating a symphony of soothing vibrations that nurture the mind, body, and soul. Their offerings create an immersive experience that transports participants towards a state of deep inner calm.

A New Moon Sound Bath with Oracle Card Making

The December New Moon rises in Sagittarius, calling us to release the past and expand into what's ahead. Where the Full Moon illuminates what needs to be let go, the New Moon offers something different: a dark sky and a fresh field to plant in.

This ceremony is built around Jupiter, the planet of growth, abundance, and expansion, and Sagittarius' pull toward the horizon. It's a night for naming what you're ready to grow into, not just what you're leaving behind.

We'll open with a short reflection on where you've grown this year, then move into oracle card making. You'll create your own card, a symbol, word, or image representing the intention you're planting for the year ahead. From there, the crystal singing bowls will carry that intention into the space, letting the sound itself become part of the growth.

Something in you already knows what's ready to be planted. If you feel called, join us for this New Moon Sound Bath Ceremony.

All materials for oracle card making are included. No experience with sound baths, oracle cards, or astrology is necessary; just an openness to what the night brings.

The Sound Healing Center of Lexington will be closed on December 24.
