You are invited to Sacred City Thanksgiving, a night of celebration weaving a rich tapestry of gratitude, connection and shared heart-centered presence. Together, we gather to honor the magic and medicine of life, embracing all the gifts, challenges and blessings that grace our paths.
Come immerse yourself in the cozy warmth of community and open your heart, voice, and spirit in an intentional space of thankfulness. This celebration will be overflowing with the harmony of shared sacred songs, the rhythm of our steps moving together on the dance floor, and the collective heartbeat of gratitude that resonates in us all.
Join us for an expansive evening embracing our abundance and aliveness! Come ready to sing your heart out, to express yourself authentically, and to share the unique gift of your being as we reflect on all the bounty, beauty, and blessings that unite us in reverence for life.
We would be honored to share this intentional and expansive experience with you- a precious opportunity to uplift each other in the radiant glow of gratitude.
THE JOURNEY
6pm | Doors Open for Community Connection
Take this time to settle into the space, get cozy, and immerse into the warm, welcoming embrace of community. Connect with the kindred souls who surround you, sharing smiles, stories, and laughter as we prepare for the transformative journey ahead. The bar will be offering lovingly-prepared organic, gluten-free food options, heart-opening cacao, and other conscious elixirs.
7pm | Chapter 1 | Gratitude Cacao Ceremony
Our journey together begins with a sacred Gratitude Cacao Ceremony, a heartfelt ritual that invites us to open fully to the present moment. As we gather in circle, we receive the rich, warm essence of cacao, exploring a deeper connection with ourselves and one another, and unlocking the heartspace where gratitude resides. Here, we reflect on every twist, turn, and chapter of our lives, honoring the beauty in both the challenges and the joy, harvesting the wisdom of our courageous journey. Come ready to sink into the sacred sanctuary within, allowing yourself to remember and revel in the magic of life’s unfolding—its hidden blessings, unexpected gifts, sacred medicine and all the ways it continues to nurture and surprise us.
7:30pm | Chapter 2 | Ecstatic Kirtan Journey with the Sacred City Band & Franko Heke
The next chapter of the journey is an invitation to relax the mind and step into the radiant landscape of the heart. Together, we embark on this soulful adventure led by the mesmerizing music of the Sacred City Band and the deeply talented Franko Heke, whose voice and spirit will guide us through powerful, heart-opening mantras. Each note, each chant, and each beat takes us deeper into that sacred inner space where we touch more of our essence and truth, awakening the beautiful magic that lives within us all.
Come as you are, ready to embrace the boundless beauty and magic of your own being. This is a welcoming, accepting, spiritually-open singing experience- one that celebrates every voice and expression in all its uniqueness. No experience is needed—just a willing heart and an open mind- as we sing our way into the sacred remembrance of who we truly are.
9:30pm | Chapter 3 | Conscious Dance with J. Pool
The third chapter of our journey invites us to fully immerse ourselves in a two-hour dance celebration with the remarkable J. Pool, whose rhythms and energy will transport us into a portal of gratitude and bliss. Together, we will move in harmony with the pulse of the music, allowing ourselves to surrender to the flow and feel the magic of each moment.
As J. Pool weaves a soul-stirring sonic journey, he will guide us deeper into our bodies, inviting us to release, expand, and embrace the rich medicine of movement. This is a sanctuary of freedom and acceptance—a space for you to move however your body and spirit longs to express. Dance wildly, sway slowly, explore anything in-between- simply allowing your body to lead the way as we connect and celebrate in the cozy embrace of community.

THE SACRED CITY MOVEMENT
Sacred City is a magical place we are building together by embodying who we truly are. It's built, brick by brick, with each courageous choice to embody our true nature and embrace however life unfolds from that authentic place. Together, we journey in ceremony to remember more of who we are, step into initiation retreats to embody more of who we are, and gather in celebration to rejoice the magic that is created from living a courageously authentic life.
The 5 Pillars of Sacred City
These core principles are the foundation of how we show up together in all Sacred City containers. Please only join us if these feel in full alignment and you are fully committed to embodying each one at Sacred City Thanksgiving. With that being said, Sacred City does not believe this is how all experiences must be in the world, we just enjoy this particular type of container for our events. With reverence and love, we encourage anyone to opt in if they want to try it on, or opt out if it doesn't feel aligned.
•Sacred | experience the magic of presence
•Silly | experience the playfulness of expression
•Safe | experience the nourishment of acceptance
•Sober | experience the medicine of an unaltered mind
•Sovereign | experience the freedom of consent
We are excited for you to join us in embodying the Sacred City pillars and going on a magical ride together!
Special shout out to our inspiring team. It takes a village!
Paulina Grochala, Meg Southern, Auria Faith, Somi Arora, Matthew Kurtyka, Thomas Waterman, Franko Heke, J. Pool, Seva Roan, Ananda Springsteen and Jordan Cimino

Sound Healing Journey with Lindy Romez Jaya Devi
Sound Baths are very profound healing musical experiences and an easy way to meditate, heal, and transcend any disharmonies within the mind and body. Lindy uses Himalayan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, biosonic tuning forks, shamanic drumming, Native American flute, chanting, and various other sounds to help drop the brain into relaxing brainwave states.. Participants lay on the floor in supported savasana (corpse pose) to allow the waves of sound, frequency and vibrations to wash over them. Sound baths are a great compliment for those new to meditation and those who practice meditation regularly. If you are experiencing pain in the mind and body, this sound bath has been carefully designed to partner with you to assist in transcending lower frequency energy so you may alchemize to the higher frequency being that you are.
These instruments have been used for centuries for healing and meditation purposes. They create a range of sounds and frequencies that are harmonious to our nervous system and help to restore out-of-harmony parts of the body and mind to align us with our soul. The sounds generated by these sacred instruments are a type of vibrational medicine that promotes healing from stress, pain, depression, and most forms of dis-ease in the mind and body complex. The healing processes are initiated through en-training our brainwaves to synchronize with the perfect resonance of the universe through the unique range of tones that emit from these instruments. These tones create the perfect state for deep meditation, creative thinking, intuitive messages and powerful healing. The pure sonic waves that ring from these instruments wake up our ability to hear with more than our ears. We invite you to come and experience for yourself the powerful deep states of meditation that even someone new to meditation will be able to experience easily.
About the Facilitator
http://www.lindyromez.com
Lindy has been providing Sound Baths in the Tampa Bay area since her trip to India, March 2017. Along her own journey of healing and using sound to bring harmony to her own life experience, Lindy a former 82nd Airborne Division soldier, began to understand through the awareness of the high rate of suicide among fellow veterans that there is a need for community healing. Lindy believes that we all suffer on some level from time to time as it is a part of our life experience, and sound can be the best medicine. Through her non-profit Calm One, Inc, 501c3,
that was originally inspired by the high rate of suicide amongst veterans and the increased awareness of the mental health crisis that exists within all demographics. Her research began in 2019 and is ongoing on how sound, frequency, and vibration can offer the resonance to harmonize disharmonies within the mind and body complex. For more information and to donate visit, http://www.calmone.org
Lindy’s Collective Intention:
Our intention is to create a sacred and empowering space for those who are wholeheartedly engaged and ready to embark on a profound journey of awakening and self-discovery. We get to hold the space together for the healing and ascension for those who have been seeking to go deeper in their practice, healing and connecting with their higher purpose. If you are ready to transcend aspects of the self that no longer serve your higher purpose and recognize that you have not quite been yourself in a long time, it is with reverence and dedication that we are guided to support individuals in their spiritual growth, empowering them to embrace their true essence and live a life aligned with their soul’s purpose. We look forward to visiting with you as you are guided.

Sound Healing Journey with Lindy Romez Jaya Devi
Sound Baths are very profound healing musical experiences and an easy way to meditate, heal, and transcend any disharmonies within the mind and body. Lindy uses Himalayan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, biosonic tuning forks, shamanic drumming, Native American flute, chanting, and various other sounds to help drop the brain into relaxing brainwave states.. Participants lay on the floor in supported savasana (corpse pose) to allow the waves of sound, frequency and vibrations to wash over them. Sound baths are a great compliment for those new to meditation and those who practice meditation regularly. If you are experiencing pain in the mind and body, this sound bath has been carefully designed to partner with you to assist in transcending lower frequency energy so you may alchemize to the higher frequency being that you are.
These instruments have been used for centuries for healing and meditation purposes. They create a range of sounds and frequencies that are harmonious to our nervous system and help to restore out-of-harmony parts of the body and mind to align us with our soul. The sounds generated by these sacred instruments are a type of vibrational medicine that promotes healing from stress, pain, depression, and most forms of dis-ease in the mind and body complex. The healing processes are initiated through en-training our brainwaves to synchronize with the perfect resonance of the universe through the unique range of tones that emit from these instruments. These tones create the perfect state for deep meditation, creative thinking, intuitive messages and powerful healing. The pure sonic waves that ring from these instruments wake up our ability to hear with more than our ears. We invite you to come and experience for yourself the powerful deep states of meditation that even someone new to meditation will be able to experience easily.
About the Facilitator
http://www.lindyromez.com
Lindy has been providing Sound Baths in the Tampa Bay area since her trip to India, March 2017. Along her own journey of healing and using sound to bring harmony to her own life experience, Lindy a former 82nd Airborne Division soldier, began to understand through the awareness of the high rate of suicide among fellow veterans that there is a need for community healing. Lindy believes that we all suffer on some level from time to time as it is a part of our life experience, and sound can be the best medicine. Through her non-profit Calm One, Inc, 501c3,
that was originally inspired by the high rate of suicide amongst veterans and the increased awareness of the mental health crisis that exists within all demographics. Her research began in 2019 and is ongoing on how sound, frequency, and vibration can offer the resonance to harmonize disharmonies within the mind and body complex. For more information and to donate visit, http://www.calmone.org
Lindy’s Collective Intention:
Our intention is to create a sacred and empowering space for those who are wholeheartedly engaged and ready to embark on a profound journey of awakening and self-discovery. We get to hold the space together for the healing and ascension for those who have been seeking to go deeper in their practice, healing and connecting with their higher purpose. If you are ready to transcend aspects of the self that no longer serve your higher purpose and recognize that you have not quite been yourself in a long time, it is with reverence and dedication that we are guided to support individuals in their spiritual growth, empowering them to embrace their true essence and live a life aligned with their soul’s purpose. We look forward to visiting with you as you are guided.

Sacred City Ceremony
3 Announcements!
1) Container Boundary Update
Sacred City will be closing the container for Ceremony at 7:15pm sharp to begin starting in September. To join the experience, you must arrive before 7:15pm. The intention of this is to all be together when we open the container. We’ve found it builds cohesiveness and trust when everyone begins together. Doors open at 6:30pm for you to arrive and settle in.
2) Admission Cost Update
Sacred City will be increasing the admission cost for Ceremony to $20 starting this Ceremony. This will empower us to invest in the sustainability and expansion of this community.

3) Post-Ceremony Food
There is gluten-free food provided after ceremony for $11 a bowl. Please go to the bar and ask for more details. To get your bowl, go to the bar after Ceremony. The love-tender will receive your money and provide your nourishment.
The Experience
Together, we will ecstatically sing our way into the heartspace where we can remember more of our true nature and embody more of our most authentic expression. This journey is 2 hour and a half hours of sacred and silly, so get ready to drop in deep, and have some fun along the way.
The Exchange
We are welcoming an exchange of $20 at the door for Ceremony. With that being said, we will never turn anyone away. If you aren't able to contribute this time, tell the person at the front "I am choosing the receive option tonight." You will then be let in for free.

What are the video and photo boundaries?
We will be recording audio and video during this experience so the Sacred City organization can share this medicine with you and the rest of the world beyond our time together. We invite you to record videos as well and tag us in your IG stories at @sacredcity_
Is this a spiritual experience?

THE MOVEMENT
Sacred City is a magical place we are building together by embodying who we truly are. It's built, brick by brick, with each courageous choice to embody our true nature and embrace however life unfolds from that authentic place. Together, we journey in ceremony to remember more of who we are, step into initiation retreats to embody more of who we are, and gather in celebration to rejoice the magic that is created from living a courageously authentic life.
The 5 Pillars of Sacred City
These core principles are the foundation of how we show up together in all Sacred City containers. Please only join us if these feel in full alignment and you are fully committed to embodying each one at Sacred City Halloween. With that being said, Sacred City does not believe this is how all experiences must be in the world, we just enjoy this particular type of container for our events. With reverence and love, we encourage anyone to opt in if they want to try it on, or opt out if it doesn't feel aligned.

Sound Healing Journey with Lindy Romez Jaya Devi
Sound Baths are very profound healing musical experiences and an easy way to meditate, heal, and transcend any disharmonies within the mind and body. Lindy uses Himalayan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, biosonic tuning forks, shamanic drumming, Native American flute, chanting, and various other sounds to help drop the brain into relaxing brainwave states.. Participants lay on the floor in supported savasana (corpse pose) to allow the waves of sound, frequency and vibrations to wash over them. Sound baths are a great compliment for those new to meditation and those who practice meditation regularly. If you are experiencing pain in the mind and body, this sound bath has been carefully designed to partner with you to assist in transcending lower frequency energy so you may alchemize to the higher frequency being that you are.
These instruments have been used for centuries for healing and meditation purposes. They create a range of sounds and frequencies that are harmonious to our nervous system and help to restore out-of-harmony parts of the body and mind to align us with our soul. The sounds generated by these sacred instruments are a type of vibrational medicine that promotes healing from stress, pain, depression, and most forms of dis-ease in the mind and body complex. The healing processes are initiated through en-training our brainwaves to synchronize with the perfect resonance of the universe through the unique range of tones that emit from these instruments. These tones create the perfect state for deep meditation, creative thinking, intuitive messages and powerful healing. The pure sonic waves that ring from these instruments wake up our ability to hear with more than our ears. We invite you to come and experience for yourself the powerful deep states of meditation that even someone new to meditation will be able to experience easily.

Lindy has been providing Sound Baths in the Tampa Bay area since her trip to India, March 2017. Along her own journey of healing and using sound to bring harmony to her own life experience, Lindy a former 82nd Airborne Division soldier, began to understand through the awareness of the high rate of suicide among fellow veterans that there is a need for community healing. Lindy believes that we all suffer on some level from time to time as it is a part of our life experience, and sound can be the best medicine. Through her non-profit Calm One, Inc, 501c3,
that was originally inspired by the high rate of suicide amongst veterans and the increased awareness of the mental health crisis that exists within all demographics.

We get to hold the space together for the healing and ascension for those who have been seeking to go deeper in their practice, healing and connecting with their higher purpose. If you are ready to transcend aspects of the self that no longer serve your higher purpose and recognize that you have not quite been yourself in a long time, it is with reverence and dedication that we are guided to support individuals in their spiritual growth, empowering them to embrace their true essence and live a life aligned with their soul’s purpose. We look forward to visiting with you as you are guided.

Absolutely. There will be a free kids play space during the opening (7-7:30) and closing (9-9:30) times of Ceremony. This is available to support parents during these designated times of the experience that call for reverent silence.
What is my commitment to the container?
We ask that you plan on being deeply present, participating fully, and honoring the 5 pillars: sacred, silly, sober, safe, and sovereign.
What does sober mean in this container?
At Sacred City experiences, sober means drug, alcohol and psychedelic free. While there are many different medicines that serve people in different ways, we ask that the sober container is honored at our events.
Will there be food?
There is gluten-free food provided after ceremony for $11 a bowl. Please go to the bar and ask for more details. There will also be cacao available at the bar.
What if I feel uncomfortable about singing in front of other people?
This is a space to be vulnerable and sing your beautiful heart out. Know you will be fully accepted and celebrated for your expression. Enjoy the ride!
What if I don’t know anyone?
We believe strangers are simply future family. So, greet people you don't know yet and ask what inspired them to come this week. They will appreciate it. And you will create meaningful relationships in the process!
What are the video and photo boundaries?
We will be recording audio and video during this experience so the Sacred City organization can share this medicine with you and the rest of the world beyond our time together. We invite you to record videos as well and tag us in your IG stories at @sacredcity_
Is this a spiritual experience?
It definitely can be. With that being said, this medicine music practice is not tied to any specific religion. We’re always looking to include medicine songs and mantras from across the globe.
See you in Ceremony, my friends

Sound Healing Journey with Lindy Romez (Jaya Devi)
Sound Baths are very profound healing musical experiences and an easy way to meditate, heal, and transcend any disharmonies within the mind and body. Lindy uses Himalayan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, biosonic tuning forks, shamanic drumming, Native American flute, chanting, and various other sounds to help drop the brain into relaxing brainwave states.. Participants lay on the floor in supported savasana (corpse pose) to allow the waves of sound, frequency and vibrations to wash over them. Sound baths are a great compliment for those new to meditation and those who practice meditation regularly. If you are experiencing pain in the mind and body, this sound bath has been carefully designed to partner with you to assist in transcending lower frequency energy so you may alchemize to the higher frequency being that you are.
These instruments have been used for centuries for healing and meditation purposes. They create a range of sounds and frequencies that are harmonious to our nervous system and help to restore out-of-harmony parts of the body and mind to align us with our soul. The sounds generated by these sacred instruments are a type of vibrational medicine that promotes healing from stress, pain, depression, and most forms of dis-ease in the mind and body complex. The healing processes are initiated through en-training our brainwaves to synchronize with the perfect resonance of the universe through the unique range of tones that emit from these instruments. These tones create the perfect state for deep meditation, creative thinking, intuitive messages and powerful healing. The pure sonic waves that ring from these instruments wake up our ability to hear with more than our ears. We invite you to come and experience for yourself the powerful deep states of meditation that even someone new to meditation will be able to experience easily.
About the Facilitator
http://www.lindyromez.com
Lindy has been providing Sound Baths in the Tampa Bay area since her trip to India, March 2017. Along her own journey of healing and using sound to bring harmony to her own life experience, Lindy a former 82nd Airborne Division soldier, began to understand through the awareness of the high rate of suicide among fellow veterans that there is a need for community healing. Lindy believes that we all suffer on some level from time to time as it is a part of our life experience, and sound can be the best medicine. Through her non-profit Calm One, Inc, 501c3,
that was originally inspired by the high rate of suicide amongst veterans and the increased awareness of the mental health crisis that exists within all demographics. Her research began in 2019 and is ongoing on how sound, frequency, and vibration can offer the resonance to harmonize disharmonies within the mind and body complex. For more information and to donate visit, http://www.calmone.org
Lindy’s Collective Intention:
Our intention is to create a sacred and empowering space for those who are wholeheartedly engaged and ready to embark on a profound journey of awakening and self-discovery. We get to hold the space together for the healing and ascension for those who have been seeking to go deeper in their practice, healing and connecting with their higher purpose. If you are ready to transcend aspects of the self that no longer serve your higher purpose and recognize that you have not quite been yourself in a long time, it is with reverence and dedication that we are guided to support individuals in their spiritual growth, empowering them to embrace their true essence and live a life aligned with their soul’s purpose. We look forward to visiting with you as you are guided.
