Weather information:  During winter months, if there is an issue with safe travel because of the weather, live events may be changed to online if the situation requires it.  Deb drives 2 hours each way to offer live events in Des Moines.  Weather notices will be posted on the website and on Facebook page, Sounds for the Soul by Deb Jennings under the particular Event.

WEATHER NOTICES 

1/23/24  My car is covered in ice and my driveway is a sheet of ice.. very dense fog.. supposed to be a bit better in afternoon but I would be driving back at 8:30 to 10:30 pm, and big chance of refreeze at that point.  I don’t want anyone falling and risking themselves to attend so I feel the most loving thing to do would be to cancel Mid-Day Meditation, Kirtan and Full Moon Gong Meditation.  Please stay safe and warm.   If you are in need of support, check out my online support groups for the week. Or reach out to schedule a personal private session online this week or in person next Sunday or next Tuesday.   515-371-0725 or soundsforthesouldj@gmail.com.

We are cancelling Mid-Day Meditation and Gong Along Class tomorrow, Tuesday, January 16,2024 due to Wind Chill Advisory Weather Alert.  We hope to be back with you next week, Tuesday, January 23.  Stay safe and warm.
 
If you need support, please reach out to me. We can meet online for a Zoom meditation or private session.   515-371-0725 or soundsforthesouldj@gmail.com.

Due to the winter storm, today (1/9/24) we are canceling Mid-Day Meditation and New Moon Gong Meditation.  Please look at the January event schedule to see when else you can join us.  And remember throughout the winter, to check here for notices of cancelation if there are weather events. 

 
 
 
 

WELCOME TO SPRING!

A time of new beginnings, rebirth, and infinite possibilities!  Join us for our March Sounds for the Soul Events.  We are here to support you in your journey, We have many in person and online events for you, both in a group setting and a private setting.  

 

 

Welcome to February!  

You may notice there’s fewer events on the calendar this month.  That’s because February 18-25 I will be offering cacao ceremonies, sound healing and meditation in Puerto Rico for a retreat!  My last international event was in Guatemala in 2020.  So I’m really looking forward to this!  A week doing what I love in warm weather on the beach!

I also am offering a cacao ceremony in Cedar Falls on Saturday, February 17, in collaboration with Collette Ellison.  

I will see you in Des Moines the rest of the month IF THE WEATHER COOPERATES!  I had to cancel 9 events in January due to snow, ice and subzero temperatures.  I am hoping February allows me to be with you.  If you ever have a question regarding cancelation of events due to weather, go to the homepage of my website, www.soundsforthesouldj.com and I will list weather cancelations there.

Please take time for self-care and self-love this month.  Remember YOU ARE LOVE and YOU ARE LOVED!

 

 

 

 

 

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2023 had so many challenges for so many,  The energies brought into our awareness the places where we still needed healing.  All of the inner work you have done has helped you in your healing process and has helped to heal the collective consciousness also.  Thank you for your commitment to your own healing and to helping all beings everywhere. 

May 2024 bring you happiness, good health, abundant prosperity in every area of your life, deep inner peace and whatever else your heart desires.  Listen carefully to your heart and follow it. 

Sounds for the Soul by Deb Jennings will continue to offer our weekly sound meditations on Tuesdays at noon, as well as New and Full Moon Meditations (see the schedule for the year in this newsletter, and save the dates), Kirtan Devotional Chanting before the Full Moons, collaborative Chakra Sound Baths with Melodie Polansky of Grateful Life Wellness, BIg Pyramid events for solstices and equinoxes with Laura Jones, cacao ceremonies, and online groups and classes.  Please join us!  

And watch for upcoming announcements about new events!  Next month, Deb will be offering cacao ceremonies, group and private sound baths at a retreat in Puerto Rico!  

In spring, Deb will be introducing a new offering, Peruvian Whistling Vessel Ceremonies.  Watch for more information soon.

All the best to you in 2024!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

We want to wish you all a very happy holiday season!  We hope to support you through this season with our sound meditations.  Please see the schedule below.  We have lots of live events planned.  Online events are being offered. Private individual and small group sessions in person or online are available.  

We have gift certificates for any of our services; they make a unique gift for a loved one, friend, or yourself!  We also have cacao bricks available for holiday gift giving.  

We’d also like to encourage you to take some quiet inner sanctuary time for yourself this month as we prepare to go into winter.  Take some time for extra rest, to release what no longer serves you, to prepare for the new year, and dream big.  

And, join us on New Year’s Eve, Sunday, December 31, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. for the Annual New Year’s Eve Chakra Clearing and Balancing Ceremony at Unity Center of Des Moines.  Melodie Polansky of Grateful Life Wellness will be joining us for this event; we have offered a series of chakra sound baths this year.

Autumn is my favorite time of year.  Brilliant colors, cooler temperatures, changing landscapes, and harvest. I hope you are enjoying each and every moment.  The energies of this time have certainly been intense and many find them overwhelming.  We invite you to join us in our regular meditation practices and additional supportive events to help achieve balance, alignment, centering and grounding.  We also offer private sessions, individual, couples, and small group sessions to meet your special needs.  Please reach out to Deb at 515-371-0725 or soundsforthesouldj@gmail.com to schedule or for questions.  Abundant blessings to all!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Whether you are new to meditation or an experienced meditator, Sounds for the Soul by Deb Jennings invites you to join us for our sound baths, meditations, cacao ceremonies, classes and more.  We have an extensive offering monthly of group events both in person and online.

We are also expanding our individual and small group private session offerings.  Sessions in Des Moines, Iowa are routinely available on Sundays and Tuesdays, and in the Cedar Falls, Grundy Center, Reinbeck, Iowa area by appointment on other days of the week. 

We also offer private celebrations with sounds, and cacao if desired, for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, bridal showers, baby showers, hospice, celebrations of life; really any occasion you want to make more special.  For more information or to schedule, contact Deb at soundsforthesouldj@gmail.com or 515-371-0725.

We also offer educational programs on sound healing, meditation, compassion practices, forgiveness practices, using the voice for self-healing, mindfulness, using cacao for health and wellness, and more.  We speak and offer a demonstration with the instruments as well.  These can be done at our location at Unity Center of Des Moines, or at your location.  

Deb Jennings has 25 plus years experience in working with Sound and Meditation Sessions for groups and individuals.   She is a Cacao Ceremony Practitioner with Keith’s Cacao and a Reiki Master. Deb helps people to vibrate in unconditional love and gratitude and to transcend external circumstances to connect with their own inner peace, joy and love as well as assists them to access and share their unique gifts with the world so they may live fulfilling lives in service to humanity.  We are not limited by space or time.  Deb also has knowledge and experience in distance healing energetic transmissions.  When scheduling allows, Justin Appel joins in the private sessions offering his gifts with the 60 inch gong for vibrational support. There is really nothing else like a private session with the instruments to focus on your intentions and healing.  Schedule your private session today.
