Awaken the Spiritual Warrior Group Reiki
Awaken the Spiritual Warrior: Group Reiki on the Last Aries Eclipse
with Taylor of Black Satin Venus
Aries is the celestial fighter. The first sign of the zodiac, it represents autonomy, sovereignty, and life itself. As we close the Aries-Libra eclipse series and welcome Neptune and Saturn into Aries this year, we are called to awaken the Spiritual Warrior.
How will you proclaim joy over your life? What causes and communities will you stand for? What actions will you take to bring the world of your dreams to life? How can you protect your fire from manipulation and misdirection?
In this group reiki experience we will embrace fire energy with mindfulness as we contemplate the questions above. By integrating fire in a heart-forward manner, we resist senseless division and violence and act from a place of love.
Spiritual Warrior: Step fully into your power, ignite your passion, and light the fire of devotion.

Care Tools for Organizers Training
Care Tools for Organizers Training is a two day, 20 hour training that is a micro version of our year long mentorship program. This course is created to support those of us doing care work and organizing through difficult times. This is a wonderful opportunity for activists, teachers, yoga instructors, bodyworkers, healthcare providers, and anyone that is providing care for others while simultaneously experiencing the stresses of our current political and ecological realities.
Over our weekend together, and then through supervised practice hours - participants will walk away with 3 distinct skills for working with others in group settings:
Yoga Nidra meditation instruction
Acupressure Seeds & Beads for ears and body acupoints
Tuning forks applied to body points for relaxation
No prior experience or special certification required for any of these. All of the skills can be utilized either ‘hands on’ or ‘hands off’ depending on what is needed and within your scope of practice.
Time commitment is 2 weekend days (Sat Jan 25th and Sun Jan 26th 10-5) and then 6 hours of clinical supervision to be completed in February and March. Supervised clinical hours will be held at DayDream - offering free guided meditation and acupressure to the community. For your ‘final project’, you will submit a recored meditation and receive feedback.
Cost is $275 for the program and includes Seeds/Beads to take home, supervision, and PDF manual. 9 spots total, 1 scholarship spot. No CEUs or accreditations on this one, but you will be joining the extended DayDream Team and will have the opportunity to practice in the space at the successful completion of your clinical hours and final project.

Gather + Grow Afterschool
Gather & Grow Herbalism Afterschool Program with Christina Noyes @ Daydream Clinic in Beacon
Do you have a kid between the ages of 7 and 13 who likes to ask questions, make messes*, and try new things? Gather & Grow’s after school herbalism program is the perfect place for them to do these things – and more! – in a supportive environment.
Throughout the program, kids will explore the question, “How can we use what we are learning to take care of our community?” culminating in a collaborative, experiential project based on their ideas. We will learn about body systems, make herb crafts such as salves and hydrosols, and explore what it means to be “healthy”, in our bodies, relationships, and communities. Along the way, we will uncover and explore various lessons plants have to teach us about being in better relationships with each other and the land.
*and clean them up!
Sessions will take place at DayDream Collaborative Clinic in Beacon (544 Main St) on Monday afternoons from 4-5:30. They are facilitated by Christina Noyes, an elementary educator and herbalist passionate about contributing to a thriving herbalism and community organizing ecosystem grounded in reciprocity, respect and liberation.
Dates: 10/7, 10/14, 10/21, 10/28, 11/4, and 11/11
The cost of the program is $300 per child, which includes materials. Kids will also take home the things we make to share with their family and friends. Please reach out if this is cost prohibitive.
Space is limited! Sign up today to reserve your spot. A $100 deposit is due upon registration.
