Discover The Magic Of Crystal Singing Bowls

Join Laura for an immersive Crystal Singing Bowl Class, where you will explore the powerful world of sound, vibration, and frequency. With over 30 years of experience facilitating sound baths, Laura brings deep wisdom and practical knowledge to help you understand how crystal singing bowls can be used for relaxation, balance, and energetic healing.

During this hands-on class, Laura will provide a large collection of crystal singing bowls for you to practice with and experience their unique tones. You will learn different techniques to create a variety of sounds using your bowls, including how to properly use different mallets and strikers to produce distinct vibrations and resonances. Laura will also teach which bowls correspond to the seven chakras, helping you understand how sound can support energetic alignment in the body. She will also teach you how to create sacred space before you use the bowls for yourself and a group.

The class will also explore how singing bowls can be used on or around a person’s body—and even with animals—to promote deep relaxation and energetic balance. Laura will share the science behind sound frequency and vibration, explaining how these frequencies interact with the nervous system and body to support calm, stress relief, and overall well-being. Whether you are new to sound healing or looking to deepen your practice, this class offers a meaningful opportunity to experience the healing power of sound in a supportive and inspiring environment. Soulshine will also have a beautiful selection of crystal singing bowls for sale.

Laura will seal in the class experience with a relaxing sound bath using the crystal singing bowls as well as gongs, drums, rattles, chimes, ocean drums and more!

This experience is limited to only 10 people so register today!

✨ The Soulshine Sleepunder ✨

Rest can be a ritual!

After every Soulshine gathering, we hear the same wish:
“Can we stay longer? Can we sleepover?”
More time to talk. More time to rest. More time to not rush back into real life.

Your nervous system called.
It wants a day off.
No screens. No expectations.
Just rest, presence, and soft magic.

"Me time" in community.

Offline. Unrushed. Sacred.

Imagine a day where there is no schedule, no expectations, yet plenty of mindful activities to awaken your spirit and help you reconnect to YOU again. Our lives are planned, timed, and over-stimulated enough. The Sacred Chill Club is designed to give your nervous system a break and your soul some breathing room.

What you can do (or not do)...

You’re free to move through the day at the different Mindfulness Stations however your body, heart and energy desire.

Mindfulness Stations Include:

Tarot and oracle decks for readings

Smudge yourself with sacred medicine plants

Crystals to put on your body or hold them and expand your gemstone knowledge

Journals with a new set of markers

Mindful arts and crafts for you to explore your creative side

Bonfire outside for warmth, fire meditation and burning ceremony

Cozy meditation station

Board games and puzzles

Curl up with a book

Take a slow meditative walk in the expansive yard

Do your favorite hobby- uninterrupted!

Enjoy quiet conversation with a new friend.
Spend time alone together — no pressure to perform or socialize.

The day includes an optional guided meditation and sound bath, gently offered for reflection, to open your third eye, for presence and inner calm. Join if it calls to you. Skip it if rest is what you need.

In the evening, we will gather around the table for a nourishing delicious dinner and easy conversation — or peaceful silence if that feels better. And yes… we do the dishes, so you can simply enjoy.

We will end with a closing circle.

Why we unplug...

This is a phone-free experience — and that’s where the real magic begins.

Our phones constantly pull us outward: notifications, scrolling, comparing, responding. Even when we think we’re resting, our minds stay busy.

When the phone goes away, something powerful happens:

Your nervous system softens.
Your thoughts slow down.
Creativity returns.
Presence deepens.
You can actually hear yourself again.
Unplugging creates space to reconnect — not just with others, but with your own inner voice, intuition, and needs. The version of you that knows when to rest, when to speak, and when to simply be.

Why this matters...

Most of us are tired in a way that sleep alone doesn’t fix.
We’re craving unstructured time, genuine connection, and permission to do less without guilt.

The Soulshine Sleepunder is for warm, kind, open-hearted women who want:

Rest without isolation.
Connection without pressure.
Reflection without fixing.
Community without screens.

Come slow down.  Come unplug.  Come home to yourself.

This is your permission to rest.

When: March 15, 2026

Time: 12:00pm- 9:30pm (it's ok to come later or leave earlier~ IT'S YOUR DAY!)

Early Bird Registration $122 Includes 9 1/2 hours of sacred mindful space, organic dinner and snacks, self-care gift bag, guided meditation and sound bath, sacred smudging, supplies for all mindfulness stations including all arts & crafts materials and a new journal, bonfire, cozy home environment we prepared just for you!

12:12 Portal Sound Bath Meditation Activation

lovingly led by Laura Rategan

Come enter the most powerful portal in 2025~ the 12:12 portal! The last portal of the year is the most auspicious time to seal in 2025 energies and begin to open up to 2026 energies. Laura will lead you into the portal through a guided meditation mixed with sound vibrations from crystal singing bowls, gongs, drums, ocean drums, chimes and more! Relax, revive, and remember your radiant divine self! Our event is on Thursday, December 11th when we will activate and open the portal for you to fully be present in the portal on Dec 12th!

The 12:12 Portal refers to a specific day, December 12th, believed to carry heightened energetic significance. It's often described as a time when cosmic or universal energies are amplified, providing an opportunity for personal growth, healing, transformation, and spiritual awakening.

Numerological Significance:
12 is a powerful and symbolic number in numerology and various cultures. It appears in many systems and contexts (12 months in a year, 12 zodiac signs, 12 hours on a clock, etc.), representing completeness, wholeness, and cosmic order.
12:12 is often seen as a "master number" in numerology, amplifying the energy and symbolism associated with the number 12. It is a day of spiritual culmination or powerful alignment.

Astrological and Cosmic Alignments:
Many people believe that specific dates, especially those with repeating numbers like 12:12, have energetic significance. On these days, the Earth is thought to be in alignment with cosmic forces that bring about changes on both a personal and collective level. 12:12 ia a portal or gateway that can facilitate spiritual awakening, enhanced intuition, or a new phase of growth.

Shift of Energy and Ascension:
The 12:12 portal is often discussed in relation to the ascension process, a concept found in New Age spirituality. This is the idea that humanity is collectively evolving into higher states of consciousness, and days like 12:12 are considered to be times when these ascension energies are heightened. The energies of the universe are more readily available for personal healing, transformation, and manifestation.

Connection with the "12th Dimension":
In some metaphysical systems, 12 is linked to higher dimensions of existence, with the 12th dimension representing a space of unity, divine consciousness, and ultimate creation. The 12:12 date is a time when there is easier access to these higher states of being or consciousness.

Numerology of 12:12:
When you reduce 12 (1 + 2), you get 3, and the number 3 is often associated with creativity, growth, communication, and the divine (for example, in Christian tradition, the Holy Trinity is a manifestation of the number 3). 12:12 is a day of opening to creative forces and growth, as it has a double effect (the number 12 repeated twice).

Global Celebrations and Rituals:
While the 12:12 portal isn't universally acknowledged, many spiritual or New Age communities engage in specific rituals, meditations, or ceremonies on this day to take advantage of the heightened energies.
This is a time to reflect, manifest their desires, or focus on personal growth, seeing it as a powerful opportunity to release old patterns and step into new beginnings.

When: On December 11, 2025, we will activate and open the portal for you to fully be present in the portal on Dec 12th!
*6:30-7:30pm

Where: Soulshine Boutique & Healing Sanctuary 459 Central Ave, downtown Highland Park

What to bring: A pillow and blanket to make you feel comfortable on the floor.

Who is this portal for:

• Spiritual Seekers: Those on a path of personal and spiritual growth often resonate with this portal. It's seen as an opportunity to release old patterns, heal emotional wounds, and align with their soul's mission.

• Lightworkers and Healers: The portal is often associated with an influx of light energy, making it a good time for those who work with energy healing or spiritual guidance to set intentions, receive downloads, and conduct healing work.

• Manifesters: People who are focused on manifesting their desires can find this portal especially powerful, as it's considered a good time to focus on clear intentions and bring them into reality. The numerical energies (12 being a number of completion and wholeness) are believed to support the manifestation of goals.

• Astrology Enthusiasts: Those who follow astrological patterns might be drawn to the 12:12 portal, as it aligns with certain cosmic events and energies that could amplify personal growth or collective shifts, depending on the year and current astrological transits. Anyone Going Through Transformation: Whether someone is going through a life change, like a career shift or personal evolution, the 12:12 portal is considered a supportive time to embrace transformation.

Empty Nesters Circle of Support Lovingly led by Laura Rategan

This support circle is for anyone who has had a child leave the nest in any way: college, move to another state, get married, had a child leave home but still have other children at home, a child leaving in the future, everyone is welcome!

 Join our Empty Nesters Circle, where loving parents navigating life's transitions come together in a supportive community. Laura will lead you through a transformative meditation, teaching you how to wrap your children in a protective bubble or shield and fill their physical, emotional, mental and energetic bodies with every loving wish you have for them. Then you'll learn how to create a vibrant energetic cord with your child, fostering a deep connection that transcends distance, and discover how to transmit all types of energy and prayers through this sacred cord. Through this cord we will fill them up with energy empowering them to be independent, make good choices, bring loving people and positive experiences to them!

Some may feel so positive and excited to be an empty nester, this class is for you to learn some new tools to work with energy and send some positive energy to your kids.

Some may feel super sad and helpless to make an impact to help our children once they leave, this class is also for you.

These energetic techniques are something you can do every day to stay connected and continue to guide and support your children no matter where they are in this world and no matter what they are experiencing away from you.

Then we will turn the attention to us and nurture our hearts with some TLC

(and some chocolate)!

This class will be in-person and on Zoom. Everyone who registers will receive the Zoom recording to watch at your leisure.

🙌NEW REIKI Sound Bath Pool Float

This is the last float of the summer so register today!

🧘🏻‍♀️Take a sacred pause and return to tranquility! Join Laura Rategan for a transformative Sound Bath infused with Reiki Healing Energy while floating in a private pool!

Laura blends the soothing frequencies of a calming sound bath with the healing energy of Reiki—all while floating peacefully in a pool under the evening sky. Laura’s sound baths are an experience- some say it feels like you’re in a mini vacation!

 
As you effortlessly float on the water, you'll be immersed in the vibrations of crystal singing bowls, native flute, chimes, drums, rain sticks, ocean drums and soothing soundscapes.

Pendulum Lab

with Laura Rategan

Your pendulum is your most trusting, most non-judgemental best friend! It is an elevator to communicate with your soul self and your spirit guides! Laura teaches how to use a pendulum a bit differenlty than what you see all over the internet where they say a circlular motion is "yes" and back and forth is "no". When you are a living energetic being and your pendulum is a living energy we need to find YOUR vibrational match to each specific pendulum and then get your "yes" and "no" directions to get extremely accurate information.

Laura has been working with pendulums with her clients and in her own spiritual practice for over 40 years. Anyone can learn how to use a pendulum and Laura will show you how easy and accurate it can be!

If you’re looking for insight on how choose a pendulum, how to use a pendulum as a tool to aid intuitive insight and validation, this class is for you! This class teaches you techniques on how to pendulum dowse, how to cleanse and charge your pendulum and how to receive information, guidance and validation from your pendulum which is always from your highest self and your most loving spiritual team!

Let's get connecting with your higher self!
