NAMO Sanctuary

NAMO Family, this is a soft, inward week, and we think that is exactly the point.

A new moon rises in Cancer on Tuesday, and with Mercury still moving backward, the whole week leans quiet. Less pushing, less doing. More listening. Cancer is the part of the sky that holds where we feel safe, so these are days to come back into the body, to tend your own roots, and to listen to what your inner knowing has been trying to tell you underneath all the noise.

There is a gentle question threaded through the week too: what would shift if you stopped trying to earn your place, and simply let yourself belong? You do not have to prove your way toward what you want. You are allowed to want it plainly.

This is a beginning, but not a forceful one. The kind that arrives through pause and return. So before you reach for what comes next, be still. Listen inward. Then, if it feels right, plant one small, honest intention and let that be enough.

The studio is quiet this month, but we are still here, holding a few spaces for you to come home to:

• Sunday Sound, Sundays at 11:11am
• Sound Sanctuary, Wednesday at 11:11am with Markus
• Planetary Sound Immersion, Monday at 7:30pm with Bea Carreño | Conciencia & Creatividad and Wednesday at 7:30pm with Markus

And if the pull you have been feeling is toward something deeper, this new moon is a fitting time to follow it. Applications for The Art of the Gong, Noelia's private apprenticeship, close this Wednesday.

However you move through the week, let it be gentle. Come rest in the sound with us. 🤍

Mercury just turned retrograde, and if the last day or two have felt scattered, tender, a little slow, you are not imagining it.

Here is the gentler way to read it. This retrograde sits in Cancer, the most inward, feeling place in the sky. It is not asking you to push harder or fix the glitches. It is asking you to slow down and come home to yourself.

So let it. Move a little slower. Say less, feel more. Let the plans that fall through fall through. And when the mind gets loud, come back to the one thing that always brings you down into your body: sound. Your breath, a hum, a held tone.

The mind is retrograde. The body is always right here.

How about a little sound to lift the soul? Join Markus tomorrow at 11:11am for Sound Sanctuary to find a bit of relief and breath during this time! Book at the link in our bio.

There is one more gathering before we step away into the warmth of summer.

This Tuesday, June 30, we close the season together with the Full Moon Gong Healing Circle. From 7:30PM to 9PM, under the Capricorn full moon, Markus will guide us through the planetary gongs. It is the kind of sound that loosens what the season packed into your shoulders and lets your body finally set it down.

This is our last ceremony before the studio rests for July.

But resting does not mean disappearing. We are keeping a few quiet, intimate ways to stay close this summer: limited classes, a small number of private sessions and the apprenticeship for those called to go deeper. Far less than usual, and that is the point. If you have been wanting time with us, this is the summer to make it personal. Keep an eye out for further details in the coming days.

For now, come let the full moon carry the season out. Tap the link in our bio to save your space on Tuesday.
