Events

Joy conducts these events on Maui, Hawaii, and on the Mainland, as a sampling of the work she presents in the Vibrational Healing Program.
Please see Calendar for a listing of events that are currently scheduled.

Sound Your Heart Out! is a Transformative Experience, an opportunity to enter into the Group Mind, where trust is built and Sound is the universal telepathic language. Toning and sounding take us out of our heads and into our hearts in an absolutely authentic and joyful way. Participants are encouraged—but not pressured—to participate in simple, playful, and soulful exercises, ending in deep silent meditation that may be accoompanied by the reverberations of a crystal bowl. No singing experience necessary.This is an experience that can be repeated again and again—it is different every time.Children of all ages love this event. They are welcome for free if they can be quiet (or leave) during meditation.

"A Wonderful Electric feeling. Every cell is positively vibrating."
"A re-connecting with the most intimate, honest self, and merging it with others.
Profoundly lovely."

"A wonderful experience with peace, relaxation and enlightenment of spirit,
soul & body. Thank you!"

Crystals & Chakras

Through entrainment, the crystals help the chakra energy centers and internal organs to remember their own healthy harmonic resonance. This in turn restores the flow of energy throughout the body, mind and spirit. With over 20 years’ experience working with the crystals, Joy Gardner shares her love of the stones and her deep respect for the mineral kingdom through her healing stories. Both beginners and those already experienced in working with the stones will derive great benefit from this experiential workshop with this master of crystal healing. Joy is the author of Color and Crystals—A Journey through the Chakras and Vibrational Healing through the Chakras with Light, Color, Sound, Crystals and Aromatherapy.

Winter Retreat
on Bowen Island

Winter Solstice is the darkening of the Light; a time to go inward. A time to get away from it all.

If you have ever longed to go within instead of partying and shopping at this time of year, this is the place.

Rivendell is an elegant four-story retreat center, perched atop Cates Hill on Bowen Island, and dedicated to prayer, silence, simplicity and hospitality. It has over 6 acres of forest trails, wildlife, and magnificent views. It is just a 15 minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver.

During part of this retreat we will commune with the mineral kingdom, we will open our voices to each other and to the Creator, and we will revel in the richness of aromatic oils, allowing them to transport us to near and distance places. Then for one full day, we will enter into The Silence in this sacred place.

During this retreat we will cook and eat together. Dietary needs can be accomodated, and if you choose to fast for one or all these days, it will be easy to do. Private or dual occupancy rooms are available.

Please see Calendar and Rates.
