It’s March and Spring begins soon!
March has wide varieties of energies and time seems to be passing very quickly. We are here to support you during these times. This is one of the most action packed months of events I’ve ever offered. I want to thank you in advance through reading through all of the events and heartfully considering which ones are calling to you for your Soul’s growth.
Blessings to you on your journey. With love and gratitude, Deb

WELCOME TO FEBRUARY!
Many celebrate love on Valentine’s Day. We like to celebrate Love everyday!
We have many activities planned to celebrate love this month. Take a look below at all the events.
Also, Deb will be speaking at the 10:30 a.m. service at Unity Center of Des Moines, on Sunday, February 15 on the topic of “Return to Love.” She will offer heart centered practices during the Lesson.
We have several events this month offered on a heart guided love offering basis. Let your heart determine the amount you give to attend the event. This offers those who may not be able to pay regular admission prices an opportunity to attend for what they can afford. And it invites those who are able to give more if their heart so guides them.
We offer much love to you on Valentine’s Day and everyday!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026!
After a very busy December, I needed some respite, so my January newsletter is a little later than usual. I felt it was important to take good care of me and model the self-care practices I share with others. How are you doing on your self-care?
We are currently in the 111 portal energy from 1/1 to 1/11. This is a powerful time for new beginnings, setting intentions, manifesting, and stepping into your personal power and soul’s path. There is a great deal of high frequency energy affecting the planet and this portal gives us the opportunity to balance, align, realign, adjust, readjust, take an action step, move out of our own way, go past our comfort zone, act with clarity and with self-awareness. Take time to pause and breathe! Connect with the guidance of your Higher Self. Trust yourself. Be your true and authentic self. And watch what happens!
On Sunday, 1/11 at 1:11 p.m. we will be offering a New Beginnings Sound Bath Meditation: Working with the Energy of the 111 Portal. This will be a special event helping us to utilize the energies that are available to us right now. We are offering this on a donation basis, so check in with your heart to see what feels right to you for your offering. Please plan to arrive by 1 p.m. at the latest so we can start on time.
We have our usual monthly activities; see the listing below for all the details. We also are offering another session of our Gong Along Class this month if you are still wanting to learn to play the gong.
Next month save the date of Sunday, February 15, when Melodie Polansky of Grateful Life Wellness and I will be offering a special 90 minute soundbath of heart-centered practices, “Return to Love.”
Stay in touch in the following ways: this monthly newsletter, Facebook at Sounds for the Soul by Deb Jennings, Instagram at soundsforthesouldj, Tik Tok at deb.jennings2.
If you’d like to support our work in additional ways, you may donate at Venmo @Deb-Jennings-2 or PayPal at soundsforthesouldj@gmail.com.
As I do drive 2 hours each way to be with you for live events, during the winter, if there are any questions about whether an event will be held due to weather concerns, you can check the website home page, www.soundsforthesouldj.com, Facebook at Sounds for the Soul by Deb Jennings or the Unity Center of Des Moines website. If you can’t find an answer, feel free to text me at 515-371-0725 to confirm an event is happening.
My Toyota Prius died last month after nearly 227,000 miles. I now have a 2022 Toyota Corolla and monthly car payments again! Instead of raising prices to events across the board, if anyone wishes to help support transportation costs, you may donate at live events or at the links listed above.
I wish each and every one of you a happy, healthy, and abundantly prosperous New Year. I look forward to seeing you soon!

When someone wishes to attend our sound meditations, classes or online support group, but doesn’t have the ability to pay, we don’t turn anyone away for lack of funds. We trust the Universe to provide. If you’d like to be an earth angel to provide our services to those in need, you may donate at our live events-just speak with Deb. Or you may donate through PayPal at soundsforthesouldj@gmail.com or Venmo @Deb-Jennings-2 mail a check to Deb Jennings P.O. Box 101, Grundy Center, Iowa 50638. Deb will see that the person wanting services who is in financial need is able to attend and treated with dignity and respect in the financial matter. We are currently experiencing 1 to 5 requests per week for assistance to attend events. THANK YOU EARTH ANGELS! May you be infinitely and abundantly blessed. |

A note about a couple of special events this month. On July 6, Jorge Munay will be joining me from Peru as we offer a group shamanic sound journey. Jorge visits once or twice a year and the combination of his icaros, flutes, percussion instruments and his PRESENCE offer a beautiful healing opportunity combined with the Sounds for the Soul instruments played by Deb Jennings.
On July 20, Deb will be accompanying Stephie Foley’s yoga class for the first time. This soulFULL Sunday event will feed your body and SOUL. Please join us!
And are you offering your own sound baths or interested in doing so? Deb has over 30 years experience and is offering private mentoring sessions to help you hone your skills, learn more about holding space for individuals and groups, and learning additional instruments.
