The Sacred Journey: From Crown to Root

The Sacred Journey From Crown to Root

A Somatic Restorative Yoga and Reiki Workshop

Gathering on Tuesday, July 28, 2026

From 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Rising Moon Studio

Held in presence by Laura Harvey, Somatic Guide, and Zorana Michalsky, Holistic Practitioner

You move through your life carrying so much of the day in your shoulders, your jaw, and the quiet spaces of your body. Often, you might try to solve restlessness, fatigue, or heavy emotions with the mind, thinking your way out of tension. But true ease arrives when you slow down enough to listen to both the somatic structure of your body and the subtle flow of energy beneath the thoughts.

This three hour immersion is designed to guide your awareness inward. Unlike many chakra experiences that build from the ground up, this journey begins at the crown, gently descending through each energy center to finish at your root, inviting a deep sense of grounding, stability, and return. You will move through the seven chakras as a map of your body and your inner life, using them as guides rather than things you need to fix. This is a space for you to listen, to rest, to notice, and to allow your body to show you where there may be steadiness, tenderness, holding, and quiet wisdom.

This journey weaves together restorative yoga postures, somatic embodiment practice, and the subtle currents of Reiki to hold space for both the physical and the energetic layers of your experience. As you settle into fully supported restorative shapes, Laura will lead you through somatic guidance to help you land deeply in your body and release physical tension. Alongside this physical softening, Zorana will guide your awareness into the subtle body, sharing reflections on the energy of each chakra and offering hands on Reiki to support the release of your deeper emotional holding. It is a slow, spacious practice of presence, complete with quiet moments for reflective journaling, warm herbal tea, and seasonal fruit to gently ground your body and senses. Here is a safe container for you to soften, integrate, and return home to yourself.

Zorana Michalsky

Zorana Michalsky

Holistic Nervous System Regulation Coach

Zorana Michalsky is a holistic nervous system regulation coach who guides people in releasing chronic pain, anxiety, and the subconscious survival patterns that quietly govern their lives. Born in former Yugoslavia, her early years were shaped by war and fear, wiring her nervous system for survival long before she understood what safety felt like. Her own path through chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and a dead end fibromyalgia diagnosis became the foundation of her life's work. Rather than accepting those limitations, she turned inward, and healed. Certified in Reiki, hypnotherapy, NLP, breathwork, and trauma informed coaching and facilitation, Zorana brings both professional training and lived experience to every room she enters. In this sacred space she will guide your awareness into the subtle body, supporting the release of what your energy field has quietly been holding.
