Welcome to Lux Solaris!

I’m glad you’re here.

This is the very first edition my monthly sound healing newsletter for Lux Solaris. One of my greatest loves is helping other humans find deep rest, beauty, emotional exploration, and energetic elevation through sound meditation. This space is dedicated to sharing events, insights, and the many ways sound can support your well-being.

 Stay tuned!

For those interested in my death doula work, Lux Solaris will also share a separate quarterly newsletter with updates, reflections, and resources. Look for the first edition in February.

Upcoming Sound Journeys

These group sessions are free, and all are welcome. They are an opportunity to pause, rest, dive deep, and reconnect with yourself (and, in a way, connect with others) through the beauty of sound.

Please plan to arrive about 10 minutes before start time so that you can take care of yourself and get settled.  If you are late, please enter quietly and take the closest available space. Bring what helps you to be the most comfortable, whether you lie down or sit. Some common comfy things are: a yoga mat, blanket (s), eye mask or pillow, warm or layered clothing, a pillow for under your head or knees, items that are special to you to hold or have nearby. I always have a few mats handy for those who may need one.

For real!

I look forward to seeing your faces and sonically traveling with you at a Sound Journey soon!

Keep in mind and heart…

You can book an individual or group private Sound Journey with me! This is such a wonderful experience for your self-tending, if you have specific emotions or spaces you want to explore, or are craving a more individually customized session. It’s also a beautiful way to celebrate, mark an significant occasion, or to give as a gift to those you care about.  Please reach out to talk details and how we can create a fantastic experience for you.

And!

I have been a massage therapist for 14 years, specializing in Ashiatsu Therapeutic Massage for the last 5 years, or so.  I offer Sound Journeys with massage sessions at Austin Ashiatsu, Sunday-Tuesday.  This combination is…
divine!   Find out more information about the work, the lovely studio I am happy to be a part of, and book, here: austinashiatsu.com

Truth.

I do healing work from a space and place of pure love and a mission of supporting people in this living, particularly in times of personal transition, intensity, or challenge.  This…*walking with*… has been my work and my joy, in one form or another, for my entire adult life, and it is ever expanding. It is much of why I am around this place. Thank you for your trust, whether it is early and tentative trust, or full-on. I take it seriously and am honored by it. It is never taken for granted.

One more thing!

That statement is a running joke in my house.  82% of the time I walk out the door, get to the car, and then go running back in the house for “one more thing!”.  Why would this newsletter be any different?

But yea…

Please contact me with inquiries, to share your experience of one of my events, to ask questions about me or the work(some of which I may answer in a future newsletter!), and whatever else.  I’d love to hear from you, truly!

All the Blessings,

Josephine
