Reiki is a Japanese stress reduction energy healing technique. This energy assists in the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system where the body can fully relax, naturally beginning to heal and repair itself. These sessions are very relaxing and can help to relieve stress, pain, anxiety, and recharge your energy. Your session will begin a guided meditation while you rest lying down. I use energy techniques and sound therapy to assist you in releasing energy that is no longer serving you, recharging your vitality, and balancing the energy centers of the body. These sessions are useful during transitional times in your life when are feeling exhausted and need an energetic reset, or need support relaxing. You may leave these sessions feeling lighter, relaxed, and more connected to your own inner strength, love, and wisdom. Intuitive messages are delivered at the end of your session. The sacred energy of these mountains is deeply rooted in the nurturing divine feminine and regenerative energy of nature. This energy comes through during these sessions to support you in feeling relaxed and restored. These are private, individual sessions, but you may book a separate session for another person. You can request an additional time slot or message me to see if that's available. Sessions are done separately. Reiki energy healing Asheville, NC

You will arrive in silence, get settled and we will ground our energies in the space. I will play crystal singing bowls to begin our journey together. We will sit on cushions on the floor (sofa available if needed) and remain in silence while I serve the first 3 bowls of Living Tea. This is an opportunity to let the Tea integrate into the body & move the Chi. I will then welcome you to the space & check in to see how you are feeling in the moment & if you have anything you might feel called to share. As the Tea moves the energy, conversation seems to unfold effortlessly and with a flair towards more conscious topics & less day to day logistics. I will tune in & choose Oracle cards for you if this feels in concurrence with how you are feeling. You are also welcome to choose your own cards. The format flows with the moment & the sharings are free to expand as they unfold. You are welcome to stop drinking at any time, although I do encourage you to enjoy the benefits the Tea has to offer. Time tends to slip away in ceremonial space & I honor the process as it unfolds. A donation to honor the space after 1.5 hours is appreciated with no expectation. Once we feel complete with the our moment in time together, I will close the ceremony & be grateful for your presence. There is an ancient Chinese saying..."drink tea, make friends".

Hello dear! My name is Olga, I am a chicken keeper and your ultimate crazy chicken...whisperer. I want to introduce you to My Backyard Chicken experience so you are aware of what you are getting yourself into because before you know it, you may end up with 10+ chickens in your backyard. FYI, the chickens are a gateway into homesteading. So what to expect from this experience besides getting addicted to chickens? First, I will meet you in front of my house which is red brick with a picket fence. The whole experience is outdoors so dress accordingly. After, we will head out to the backyard. Here is a little breakdown of your 1.5 hours of experience in three parts of 30 minutes each. However, don't worry about a structure so much, in this sense, we are fluid. Part 1. You will learn how to tend to chickens: water, shelter, and feed. Learn about basic behaviors, facts, free-ranging, egg laying, breeds, predators, cleaning routine, coop build, life hacks, memes, etc. Observe chickens in their natural environment, meaning outside the “cage”. Think of yourself as Jane Goodal of Chickens. Part 2. Unsupervised time with chickens! Take pictures and hold the ones that are willing to be held. Part 3. Tea Time & Cookies. Also, a bunch of books on chickens and 6 eggs to take home. Looking forward to meeting you, Cheers, Olga
