You asked me to come back, and I’m so happy to be returning. 🤍
 
In the fullness of summer, when the days are long, the heat is heavy, and life keeps moving, sometimes what we need most is a place to simply be still.
 
Join me, Teresa Bennett-Yates of Cloud 9 Reiki & Sound, for a midweek reset through guided meditation and immersive sound at Neesa’s hOMe on beautiful St. Helena Island.
 
Together, we’ll slow down, breathe deeply, and settle into the healing vibrations of Himalayan singing bowls, gong, and therapeutic sound—creating space for rest, grounding, release, and remembrance.
 
Bring a yoga mat, blanket, pillow, and anything else you need to be comfortable on the floor.
 
Come tired. Come full. Come exactly as you are.
 
For a little while, there is nowhere else to be and nothing else to do.

A Sacred Evening of Opening the Heart, Returning to Stillness, and Remembering the Peace Within.
 
Join us at United Church Tallahassee for an evening designed to gently slow the pace of life and invite you back to yourself.

From there, you’ll be immersed in a deeply restorative sound experience featuring the rich resonance of the gong, Himalayan singing bowls, chimes, and other healing instruments. Together, cacao and sound create a beautiful invitation to soften, release, and remember the quiet wisdom already within you.

Reiki Sessions

Reiki helps to promote a sense of relaxation and overall well-being.  During your Reiki Session you will be lying on a massage table fully clothed, except for your shoes.  As the practitioner begins to work on you, you will feel a sense of peace beginning to wash over you.  Your mind will begin to quiet down as your physical body begins to relax.  In fact, Reiki is so relaxing that sometimes clients may fall asleep during the session.
