🌊✨ INTRODUCING WAVES OF SOUND ✨🌊
Let the Frequencies Carry You
with Ember Paige

We’re excited to welcome another beautiful sound healing experience to Pleasure Point Sanctuary this fall.

Just as the ocean has a natural rhythm that can invite the body to soften, slow down, and breathe a little deeper, the resonance of crystal singing bowls offers its own invitation:

to listen, receive, and simply be.

🌊 WAVES OF SOUND

Let the Frequencies Carry You

Join Ember Paige for an immersive evening of sound, resonance, and presence.

Ember creates spaces where frequencies and rhythms become a pathway back to our own inner resonance. Rather than asking you to do anything, this is an invitation to soften into the experience—to allow the sound to move through you and create space for presence, embodiment, and connection.

Her work beautifully blends her knowledge of cardiac rhythms with calming sound frequencies, intuitively attuning to the energy of the present moment. Guided by her connection to the Akashic field, Ember creates an experience designed to support a deeper sense of presence and natural attunement.

🌊 Soften.
🌊 Listen.
🌊 Receive.
🌊 Let the frequencies carry you.

🌑✨ THE SOVEREIGN SANCTUARY ✨🌑
Ancient Healing • Modern Science

NEW MOON IN SCORPIO
Transformation • Release • Rebirth

The journey continues...

As we move from the grounding energy of October’s Full Moon in Ta**us into the deep waters of the New Moon in Scorpio, we’re invited to go inward.

Scorpio carries the energy of transformation—the shedding of what no longer serves us and the courage to meet what lies beneath the surface.

This is a time to release old patterns, lighten the weight we’ve been carrying, and create space for something new to emerge.

🌑 A sanctuary for release.
🌑 A space for deep rest.
🌑 An invitation to begin again.

Led by Peggy Bascou, MSN, RN, Integrative Sound Practitioner & Reiki Master, this immersive Sound Bath weaves together Peggy’s experience in nursing with her practice in Reiki and sound healing.

Through vibration, resonance, and guided rest, you’ll be invited to quiet the mind, soften the body, and turn inward—creating space for reflection, restoration, and intention.

Come ready to relax, reset, release, and receive.

☔️We are welcomed by rainy days. As the coastline’s sea swells with the abundance of fall- we begin shifting inward.

Just as animals around us begin to prepare for hibernation we too turn our gaze inwards.

With this comes the shifting of our internal and external world. Things slow down, and so do we.

Our bodies ask for more rest as we greet the dark nights and mornings. We begin to bring in new movement practices that feel aligned with the season.

Making sacred time to move, dance, do yoga and meditate. Making time to exit our cave and connect with community. Making precious time to move our bodies in a way that feels supportive and nurturing.

My invitation this week for the community is to examine your rituals and routines. To ask yourself- what feels supportive, and what needs to be shed in order to support yourself in this new season.

———

If you find yourself a little too cozy in your den needing to peek your head out and connect with community- we’ve got you!

Our dance and movement studio has an array of movement and fitness classes to support your movement practices this fall. And our yoga studio has a variety of yoga flows ranging from gentle and restorative to fire-y and strengthening.

So while we enter a period of rest, don’t forget the importance of movement and flow!

See you soon!

-——

With love and devotion,
Pleasure Point Sanctuary

💃 IF YOU HAVE A BODY, YOU CAN DANCE.

We’re here to tell you: there’s a place for you here. 💛

✨ SHE’S BACK! The Hypno + Healing Circle with Kelsey Lettko ✨

What if meaningful change begins not with doing more, but with gently shifting what lives beneath the surface?

We’re so excited to welcome Kelsey Lettko back to Pleasure Point Sanctuary for another gathering of The Hypno + Healing Circle — a monthly space to explore the subconscious mind, soften old narratives, and reconnect with the power we hold within ourselves. 🤍

So much of how we move through the world is shaped by the beliefs, patterns, and stories we carry. Through guided relaxation, imagery, visualization, and hypnosis, we can begin to explore those inner landscapes and create space for new possibilities.

✨ What if you could begin to rewrite the story?

Each circle will center around a unique theme, weaving together journaling, self-reflection, a guided group hypnosis journey, and meaningful integration — so you can take what you discover into your everyday life.

This is an invitation to slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with the person you’re becoming.

No experience with hypnosis is necessary. Just bring your curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to explore. 🌿

THE HYPNO + HEALING CIRCLE
♡ With Kelsey Lettko
♡ Monday, November 2 | 7:15–8:15 PM
♡ Pleasure Point Sanctuary | Yoga Studio
♡ $25 per person

Come discover what becomes possible when you give yourself permission to imagine something new.

✨ Save your spot and join us for this beautiful evening of inner exploration.

Move. Breathe. Express. Recover. Live Better. 🦋

10/19/2026

The leaves are settling into the soil. The mornings feel more brisk. The ocean ebbs and flows with a new fury. The fury of fall and an approaching winter.

The darker evenings invite us to settle in. The sunsets and sunrises glow with a unique hue particular to this season.

Amongst it all- I feel a settling in. A settling into fall, and to the coming winter.

I feel the building of nourishing fall practices. The way my body craves warming foods and relaxing movement like yin. I feel the way dance classes pull me from my cave and bring me back into community.

It’s a settling that is very nourishing. And a settling that knows that beyond the horizon of this fall and winter depth- is growth.

It really is a beautiful in between. A time to be with the transitions and just enjoy the pause. And even, the darkness.

I would love to invite you to reflect- what does settling into this season look like to you?

How do your mindfulness and movement practices shift? What kind of movement is calling you?

If you feel called to share- send your response- we would love to hear what’s shifting for you as well!

———

Speaking of transitions: in our expanding dance and movement studio you will see more barre and more pilates on the schedule along with some very fun dance classes!

So if you find yourself a little too cozy in your den needing to peek your head out and connect with community- we’ve got you!

With love and devotion,
Pleasure Point Sanctuary
