JANUARY 2025 EVENTS
JANUARY 2025 SOUNDS FOR THE SOUL BY DEB JENNINGS EVENTS MID-DAY MEDITATION LIVE AT UNITY Every Tuesday at Noon Unity Center of Des Moines, 414 31st St., Des Moines, Iowa Tuesday, January 7, 14, 21, and 28, 2025 How are you feeling? Do you find yourself stressed by things that are happening in the world around you? We can’t change what happens out there in the world around you, but each of us has the power to change how we react to things happening around us. We can develop a regular meditation practice that takes us on a deep, inner journey where we connect with the inner peace of our souls. The more we do this practice, it becomes easier to be less reactive to stressful situations. Connecting with the vibrations of unconditional love and gratitude, we can have self love and learn to give ourselves what we need to achieve a better connection with our own source of inner peace. Learn positive self care and learn to love yourself. Join us on Tuesdays at noon for Sounds for the Soul’s Mid-Day Meditation LIVE IN PERSON EVENT. We honor each person’s individual path. Join us for an hour of beautiful, transformative sounds to nourish your soul. The benefits of relaxation, restoration and renewal are amazing. Held at Unity Center of Des Moines, 414 31st St. $20 per person. PayPal at soundsforthesouldj@gmail.com or Venmo @Deb-Jennings-2 or cash at the door.

BE THE PEACE AND CALM IN THE EYE OF THE STORM ONLINE SUPPORT GROUP Meets online on Monday and Friday at 8 p.m. central and Thursdays at 9 a.m. central At the beginning of the pandemic, I created this group to help deal with social distancing, quarantines, isolation, lock downs, economic challenges, and uncertainty. We continue to gather on Zoom to meet our needs for connection, communication, and support. If you are in fear, anxious or stressed, my intention is to create a vibratory field for the group members to release lower energies, assist in healing, and help transmute energy to move into being the peace and calm found in the eye of the storm. This group will help shift the collective chaos affecting you to a more expanded consciousness within you. The group will have time for sharing with each other and practices and techniques will be shared to assist in connecting with our source of inner peace, to feel safe, to release, relax, refresh and renew. These practices are offered to help reduce anxiety and stress during these times; to improve sleep quality; to provide immune system support; to enhance a deeper relationship with the inner self, awareness and understanding; to provide group and community support; to help you step out of overwhelm and into empowerment. This group is being offered on a donation basis. Suggested donation $10 to $25 sliding scale per session. You may donate at PayPal, soundsforthesouldj@gmail.com.

Experience the beautiful properties of Keith’s Cacao, a 100% ceremonial grade cacao, the superfood, holistic plant medicine from which chocolate is made. It is the most nutritionally dense food on the planet, known as the food for the shift. As well as all the nutritional benefits it has, cacao assists you to connect more deeply with your inner self. It is heart opening and inspires increased focus, clarity and creativity! It helps any transformation you are working on. You set your intentions and cacao aids in your insight and awareness in achieving your goal. You may release negative energy and blocks as you open to more love and gratitude. As we connect online and consume the cacao, and connect with the Spirit of the cacao medicine, we will open to what it has to offer us in that moment. We will do a group meditation. The community creation aspect of cacao ceremony allows us to create a safe space to share, reconnecting with our deep, inner wisdom, and hold space for one another while we share individually. We invite you to take this journey with us. The cacao will enhance these practices, taking you to deeper levels of consciousness and understanding. Cacao connects us with our hearts, and elicits feelings of joy, bliss, love and transformation. It raises your vibration! We will share how you can add cacao into your own personal practices. Then we will reconnect in our sharing of the experience. If you are longing to connect, to feel heard and seen for the beautiful being you are, and to be supported by community, you will truly appreciate cacao ceremony.

PRIVATE SESSIONS AVAILABLEAre you feeling out of balance? Stress? Overwhelm? Or just wanting to raise your vibration? I’d be happy to work with you in 1 to 1 private sessions to assist you in balancing, aligning, centering and grounding yourself. The private sessions are currently offered either IN PERSON or via zoom and use a variety of techniques, guided meditation, sacred sound, EFT, affirmations, reiki, breathwork and more. Contact Deb at soundsforthesouldj@gmail.com to set up your private session. $150/hour. I am also offering intuitive readings now using the Rumi Oracle Deck. I’m loving sharing Rumi’s poetry and intuitive messages in these sessions. I’d love to work with you on your path into the Heart of Love. Also, cacao really facilitates this work, if you’d like to combine a cacao ceremony with a Rumi Reading. Rumi was a 13th century Sufi poet and mystic. His poetry invites us into unity and is so well-loved that today, all these centuries later, translations of his poetry make him the most popular poet in the United States still. He writes of universal, unconditional love in which the seeker is this love and serves humanity and all of creation. Rumi’s writings help us to learn to live in unity, inner peace and harmony which helps create peace in our outer world. He believed music, dance, poetry and community could help us heal, as do the shamans of indigenous backgrounds. His poetry and teachings are of the Heart. If your heart is awakening, Rumi will resonate with you. Deb will use the Rumi Oracle deck, an Invitation into the Heart of the Divine, by Alana Fairchild, with artwork and translations by Rassouli. You will focus on a situation or issue for which you would Iike guidance in this present, now moment. We will do an opening relaxation meditation and then work with the cards. We will look at your card, read the poetry of Rumi associated with that card, and then the message. Then we will go into a simple healing process associated with the poetry and message for you in that moment. Deb will use her intuitive gifts to add practices and additional information to your reading for use on your personal path into the Heart of Love. Join Deb on this inner journey into the Heart of Love. Email her at soundsforthesouldj@gmail.com to book your online session now. Sessions will be on a private Zoom account and the link will be provided upon booking the session. Sessions will take approximately 45 minutes. Your session can also be combined with a private cacao ceremony as the cacao works with the heart and will enhance your experience, taking you more deeply into the Heart of Love.
