October’s Descent

October 2025 Edition

Greetings from golden Durango!

I don’t know a single person who doesn’t love this time of year.  And at the same time, it is so fleeting.  Summer and winter seem to last forever, sometimes even spring.  But the painfully beautiful experience of autumn, the cooler temperatures, crisp air, and witnessing the earth take her last magnificent inhale, giving it all she’s got in her expression of creation, is sometimes too much for me to take in.  Every year the beauty brings tears to my eyes.  It feels like a painful beauty, knowing that Mother Earth is okay in letting it all go, because she knows she will return again, new.  There is so much depth and lessons for us humans to take in and apply to our own lives.  Lessons in letting go of things, letting parts of ourselves die throughout our lives while embracing the beauty of life, knowing that we will return again, more resourced within ourselves to create something new again in the spring.  

We can always look to nature to sync her rhythms and cycles with our own lives.  When the first frost blows in its presence, and the leaves begin to blanket the earth, humans are also meant to begin our exhale and slow down, prepare the blankets for our own winter slumber alongside nature.  When we ignore this necessary shift, when we continue to go on like it is summer, the intelligence of our bodies will stop us.  Often times people get sick, the body’s intelligence saying, okay I will make you stop and slow down if you don’t pro-actively do it on your own.  We can also experience anxiety or burn out, our bodies communicating that maybe there is something under the surface that wants to be acknowledged in this transition.

I am currently 32 weeks pregnant.  In the last few days, my body has surfaced the deep grief of experiencing my first child complete her last breaths in my womb at this same time of gestation two years ago.  As I have been presencing this grief in my body, I look around to see what nature is showing me.  She is showing me the beauty of death and life, simultaneously.  Many leaves have fallen from trees and are ready for dormancy, while many others are holding out their full vibrant color, allowing us to continue holding on.  And that is exactly what I have been feeling in my body, the memory of the death of my child at this stage of gestation, while simultaneously housing a vibrant new human life inside of me.  Grief is uncomfortable, and surfaces when we least expect it.  And what I have learned is that it passes, and it is just so important to feel all of it and not push it away.  It is the reality of life, and when we fully experience death and the immense pain that comes along with it, this life becomes so much more precious.  

It can be challenging to allow ourselves to feel emotions that want (and frankly need) to be seen and acknowledged.  What I’ve noticed is that the Harmonic Egg®️ is such a gentle safe container for people, and when being embraced by music, it naturally and without effort, opens ourselves to see and feel that which wants to be acknowledged.  When we allow ourselves to feel our emotions, it supports our entire well-being.  When we hold onto fear, worry, anxiety and stress, these are known to cause more health issues.  

Lately at the Sanctuary, we’ve had many recurring clients that have been coming for multiple sessions, months and for some, years.  Why do they keep returning you may ask?  If you haven’t had a session in the Harmonic Egg®️, this can be hard to understand.  A session in an acoustic sound chamber may not feel as tangible or physical like doing a workout for example.  And it is certainly not the same as taking a supplement or pill. Sound works on every level of our being - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

Music created in specific tones and frequencies can target and affect the body in deeply restorative ways.

There are many ways we can pro-actively midwife ourselves through this passage of autumn to winter.  And, as we adjust our clocks this weekend, there is no better time than now to begin incorporating the shifts that work for you.  Some of my favorite ways to prioritize my health and well-being in this transitional time include… 

Prioritize Rest

• Supporting the body’s circadian rhythm (sunrise light on my eyes, sun throughout the day, turn off overhead lights at dusk/night, no blue light/screens after dark, bonus points for wearing blue blocking glasses throughout the day and night)

• Coming up with creative ways to enjoy the evening instead of being on screens (screens = false light)

Immune system support

• Pro-actively support the immune system with CosmicMother Elderberry Elixir and Dancing Willow’s Mindful Mushroom Mix.

• Nourish the body with warming whole foods (warming spices, soups, cooked veggies)

• Nervous system support!  Sessions in the Harmonic Egg and being in nature as much as possible to support continually returning home to yourself.  

Please reach out if you or a loved one would like support in this transition.  When you come in for a session, we spend time checking in to see how you are doing on a mental, emotional, physical and spiritual level.  You're welcome to share whatever feels right.  This is also an important process for us to choose the proper song for your session.  We've noticed that the more you allow yourself to share and feel whatever is coming up for you and clear some space, the deeper one can go in the Egg to gain new insights and awareness.  And if you are feeling great and don't need to share or process much, that is also great and we can get you in the Egg for your energetic tune-up which supports strength in body, mind and spirit and allows you to continue walking through a chaotic world in a grounded and embodied way.

Please reach out with any questions.  Sending love and hope to see you all soon!

“Self-Care is Literal Life Support Right Now”

September 2025 Edition

I write to you with a heart full of hope and gratitude as we celebrate two years at our beautiful Harmonic Earth Sanctuaryin downtown Durango, Colorado! In this time, we have welcomed hundreds of clients to experience the transformative power of the Harmonic Egg®️.

"The little ones love the music and womb-like environment in the Egg. In return, both mama and baby's nervous systems get a reset and deeper attunement.

As we transition from summer to fall, the Harmonic Egg®️ has been welcoming more of you to our sanctuary, and the level of insight, relief and connection taking place has been nothing short of mind-blowing.  A client recently said to me,

“self care is literal life support right now”,

and I couldn’t agree more. And in reflecting on that term, “self-care”, I see it more than just a day at the spa or checking off the yoga class or morning meditation. Are you actually connecting to your essence in those moments? Are those experiences changing you and bringing you insight, supporting you to live more authentically and true to your mission here in this lifetime? Because we are living in a very unique time in history and it’s imperative to know thyself. As we all know, there is a lot going on around us as well as within our own daily lives and we may get swept away in the storm if the connection to ourselves is not strengthened and in-tact (hence the life support metaphor). The reason why so many clients are receiving transformational experiences in the Egg is because as their nervous systems find a state of safety and rest, while being bathed in the frequencies of sound, light and color, they are able to find the space to re-connect with their truth and unique blueprint. Our intelligent bodies are always communicating FOR us and our evolution.

We are not the same people we were at the beginning of this year. We are in the midst of two eclipses at the time of this writing. The energetics of this time are inviting us to acknowledge the stuff we’ve been keeping swept under the rug - the masks we wear, old stories and shadows that are holding us back. All that we have been seeking in our lives, already lives within us. This is a time of clearing - if it isn’t providing you literal life support, it no longer belongs in your life! It is time to bring the externally focused energy back inwards, to strengthen the bright light that lives within you and to shine who you already are out into the world.

Some recent testimonials sum up beautifully what I am speaking to -

“Since our last session, I found myself feeling wonderfully drowsy and sleepy, not tired per se, but rather a surrender to rest and falling asleep at unexpected times.  And not pushing myself to be productive.  My head feels less heady (haha!) that future over-thinking habit!  Released feelings of a need to figure it all out and have a safe plan for the uncontrollable “what if”…. More ease between sternum and umbilicus.  Overall more soothed.  And improved digestion perked up today!  WOW!”  - Roxanne M.

“I had another incredible experience with the Harmonic Egg. Three weeks ago I woke up with an extremely bad migraine as well as tremendous amount of congestion in my lungs due to the multiple fires that were burning in Colorado. My head was absolutely pounding in pain to the point where I wasn’t even sure if I could even drive to get to the Harmonic Egg. I mustered up every bit of my willpower to travel into town and make it to my appointment and boy was I glad that I did! After my 50 minute session in the Harmonic Egg, my migraine was completely gone! My lungs felt 100% better! I had also had some right kidney pain on top of all of that, that also was relieved in that same session. Calley did an incredible job of finding the right song that would address the migraine, lungs and kidney. I was absolutely astounded with how much better I felt and so grateful to have had an experience with the Harmonic Egg’s healing capacity outside of my normal orthopedic pain and conditions, (which have always been astounding as well.) So if you are suffering with ANY kind of discomfort, pain, medical condition or chronic condition, I highly encourage you to find the nearest Harmonic Egg near you and treat yourself to its incredible healing benefits! Meanwhile, I have continued to go weekly for 9 weeks in a row for my orthopedic condition and I am still receiving incredible relief from pain pertaining to my neuropathy and spinal pain and inflammation. The Harmonic Egg has absolutely given me a quality of life back! I will continue to maintain my wellness every week with the Harmonic Mommy Egg!”

Sincerely,

Crystal A.

"In the stillness of the Harmonic Egg, I found something I didn't know I was searching for... a sacred silence that spoke to my soul. As light and sound wrapped around me, my nervous system softened unwinding years of tension in a single breath. It has felt like coming home - not just to my body but to the peace that lives beneath the noise. Since my first session, I am able to move with more ease, breathe with more trust and remember who I am when I am not in survival. I am no longer in fight or flight. The Egg isn't just healing me it is realigning me with my own divine rhythm." - Celeste K.

In other news, last month I was on my first podcast titledWhen the Body Speaks, with my dear friend Elliott Brinkley, owner of Dancing Willow Herbs here in Durango, CO and The Dancing Willow podcast. We dove into my personal journey of receiving my body’s intelligence, alerting me how I was living out of alignment with my truth. We also discussed plant allies that have been supportive in my grieving process and Elliott’s Blooming Rooted Retreat happening this Autumnal Equinox which I am so excited for.

We are celebrating TWO YEARS of serving the Durango community and surrounding area! Thank you Durango!

With love,

Calley and Mona

Summer Slow Down + New Testimonials

July 2025 Edition

I’m old enough to remember the “lazy” days of summer. It seems summer felt nurturing back then vs the frenetic pace of today. As kids we would ride bikes in the neighborhood and play in the woods. We went swimming at local lakes or the municipal pool nearly everyday. There were Little League ballgames and the library reading program. After a day of unstructured play, our sweaty little bodies would come home to sit in front of the fans with some cool drinks. Not that I want to live in the past but in many ways it was “the good old days”. Children were healthier. Life seemed to flow more easily.

Slowing down takes effort these days. It requires a pace that pushes against the status quo of being busy all the time. Taking care of your physical well-being is no longer an option as it must be a conscious effort in these times of the constant noise of the unsettled world. When you begin to master the ability to regulate your nervous system, the events of the world have less impact on you. You live your life from an place of inner peace and trust in the evolution unfolding and your emotions no longer rule your life. Emotions, that if left unchecked, will nearly always lead to health issues down the road.

Calley and I have witnessed some of the most amazing transformations with the Harmonic Egg; some of them truly miraculous. It’s humbling to see someone make a conscious effort to balance their emotional and physical well-being and to receive the outcomes they desire.

These client testimonials say it best:

Letter from the Sanctuary May 2025

Blessed Blooming Everyone!

Is it just me or did winter feel like it was a million years long?  The precious spring blossoms and returning warmth of the sun are illuminating the one thing that we can always count on;  from death, life will always come again.  Not usually on our preferred timeline however.  For me, I had been abiding in the season of winter for over a year, which felt far too long for my sunny disposition to tolerate.  However, the beauty that shows itself on the other side of a season of winter, death and grief, makes all of the pain so worth it, and with an expanded capacity for life!  

A piece of life that was born from the darkness is my new label of herbal medicines called Cosmic Mother.  Cosmic Mother is an ode to my daughter, Stella Grace, who never made it earth-side.  These plants have been my allies in grief and deepening into the human journey.  With so much heart and intention, a tea blend, an adaptogenic powder and my tried and true elderberry elixir were born and I hope they support your heart, body, mind and spirit as much as they have mine.  

To briefly share a bit about each - 

Hyldemoer (Elder Mother) Elderberry Elixir is my signature formula. I’ve been told it “tastes like nature” and like my grandmother’s blackberry cordials she used to make. It is a deep immune tonic supporting our own inner nature. I love it for these times as a daily ritual to provide nourishment in antioxidants, vitamin C, anit-viral, anti-histamine and anti-microbial properties, respiratory support and warmth to the digestive system (Organic Ingredients: Elderberries, Elecampagne, Rosehips, Pinon Pine, Orange Peel, Clove, Ginger, Cinnamon, Brandy, Honey and Filtered water)

Cosmic Heart Tea Blend combines all of my dearest heart allies into one beautiful blend.  I find it to be calming to the mind, brings me into presence, reduces anxiety, opens the heart and grounds me in my body.  This blend is also meant to be a support in our practices to connecting with our own hearts to receive the cosmic guidance necessary in our evolution.  So many of us live in our heads, and I deeply believe we are being asked to interact with each other and with life from our cosmic hearts moving forward.  Can you imagine what the world would look like if we prioritised this?!  (Organic Ingredients: Oatstraw, Lemon Balm, Hawthorn leaf & flower, Tulsi, Passionflower, Rose, Pink Lotus)

Earth Pace Adaptogenic Powder is a blend that brings the body, mind and spirit into its natural rhythm.  The intelligence of adaptogens provide the body with what it needs in that particular moment.  Sometimes that means that the body needs to “come down” from the cortisol-induced or anxious state that we’ve been running on for days/weeks/years and sometimes that means we receive a natural energy boost if you’ve been feeling fatigued.  This blend also supports the endocrine and nervous systems to maintain homeostasis.  (Organic Ingredients: Ashwagandha, Eleuthero, Burdock, Mucuna pruriens, Shatavari, Maca, Cinnamon)

---

These plant medicines have really been made with you in mind.  The Harmonic Egg is a gentle powerhouse in purifying the body of what is not aligned with your highest vibration.  After a session, the body may respond with more emotions than usual coming to the surface in which case Cosmic Heart can be a beautiful support.  Or maybe the skin breaks out a bit from the detox response and Elderberry Elixir can take care of re-igniting the immune system.  Once the body comes back into homeostasis after an Egg session(s) you may want to continue supporting your natural rhythm by adding the Earth Paceadaptogenic powder in your morning and/or afternoon beverage.  These new herbal medicines are crafted with only organic ingredients and will be available at the Sanctuary.

And since we are on the theme of Mother, Mother’s Day is closely approaching and we wanted to extend a special offer for the ones who mother in your lives that deserve to be nurtured.  The womb-like energy of the Egg is the perfect space for solitude and returning to oneself, for these selfless humans who give so much to life.

Love to all of you!

Calley
