Mothers’ Day Evening Retreat — an Intimate Sound Bath + Reiki Experience

Whether you are a mother, have a mother, miss a mother, or are learning to mother yourself… you are welcome here.

You’re warmly invited into a deeply nourishing Mother’s Day evening of sound, stillness, ritual, and gentle connection.

Held inside the intimate sanctuary of Mandala Studio in Yaletown, this special retreat by JJ Hu, a Reiki Master Teacher and sound healing facilitator, and Dana Harvey, a certified sound ceremonialist, is designed as a space to slow down, soften, and receive.

Mother’s Day can hold many meanings. For some, it is joyful and celebratory. For others, it can feel tender, complicated, lonely, or layered with grief. This evening was created to honour all of it — the love, the longing, the remembering, the nurturing, and the healing.

Whether you come with your mother, daughter, a chosen family member, a dear friend, or on your own, this experience invites you into a space of being held, supported, and gently restored.

Through immersive sound healing, optional individual Reiki, guided reflection, beautiful ritual touches, and community care, this evening offers a chance to reconnect with yourself and what it means to be nurtured, in whatever way that lives in your life.

This is a premium, intimate retreat experience designed with care and spaciousness in mind.

About the Sound Bath + Reiki Experience:

This evening’s immersive sound journey will be co-held combining the power of intentional sound healing with the gentle support of individual Reiki.

The sound bath may include instruments such as:

• Crystal singing bowls
• Chimes
• Shamanic drum
• Voice
• Other grounding and nervous-system-supportive sound instruments

As the soundscape unfolds, optional individual Reiki will be offered to participants throughout the room.

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on or hands-off energy practice intended to support relaxation, balance, grounding, and energetic restoration. All individual support is consent-based and optional.

This experience is intended to support:

• Deep rest
• Nervous system calming
• Emotional softening
• Energetic balance
• Inner spaciousness
• A felt sense of being held

This is not a medical treatment, but a restorative and ceremonial wellness experience.

About your practitioners

JJ Hu is a Reiki Master and sound healing practitioner who offers trauma-aware, individualized energy work within the sound bath experience. While the sound journey is held through layered soundscapes, JJ works one-on-one in the space, offering personalized Reiki support to each participant. She also uses traditional Nepal Himalayan singing bowls placed gently on or near the body, allowing vibration and Reiki energy to work together to move through the physical body and nervous system.

This combined approach supports emotional release, deep relaxation, and energetic balance, helping participants soften stored tension and feel safely grounded—while remaining fully held within the collective sound experience.

Dana Harvey is a sound ceremonialist and transformation guide who creates immersive spaces for healing, self-discovery, and connection. Blending ancient ritual with modern mindfulness, her ceremonies use crystal bowls, shamanic drumming, and intuitive voice to guide participants into deep states of relaxation and awareness. Her ethereal vocals feel like a lullaby for the soul, soothing participants into heart-openness and calm.

Her events are designed to help you release tension, awaken intuition, and receive the insights your spirit is ready to reveal.
