"What always stands out to me about Gabriela is her impeccable space holding and facilitation. It is so refined. She guides us with such playfulness, humility and mastery, making space for healing and liberation. Everything she catalyzes is magic."
-Chelsea H
“Elissa is such a warm, inspired and gifted woman and her teachings are unlike any other experience. I felt so comfortable and safe that I was able to dance and move without judgment and be in my body in a way that I never had before. There is something magical about the experience and the connections I made with other women through Elissa’s teachings that will be with me always.”

Women's Song Carriers Circles
Saturdays: December 3rd
11-12:30pm | Del Sol Yoga | In Person
The Song Carrier Tradition was founded by Madi Sato, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It’s a culture steeped in ancient, Earth-based wisdom from every continent and infused with the unifying power of prayer songs, both old and new. We sing in mother tongues (rooted languages) from around the world, and we practice orienting to daily life as a walk in beauty.
We circle up and sing. We’re a growing multi-generational and intercultural collective of sisterhood through devotional song. The circle is devoted to singing ancestral Earth songs as well as the new songs rising up from the Earth, while weaving a creative communal space of prayer, dance, and ritual around a central fire and water altar.
These sessions are led through an oral body-centered approach that empowers women to free the natural, intuitive, voice for healing, joy and expression. These song circles are ideal for women new to the Song Carriers tradition as well as seasoned participants.
We circle around the original altar of all peoples, the fire and water and encourage participants to explore their own unique relationship to these elemental mentors. If you are called to be a keeper of songs and lover of the Earth, join us.
Co-facilitated by Kate West and Gabriela Masala, Austin Song Carriers is a life-giving, bubbling wellspring of vibrant women gathering in community song, prayer, dance and the celebration of life.
Pricing (per circle): $25-35

Dream Wisdom for the Waking World: Level 1 Master Course
October 5-December 7, 2021 | Tuesdays 7-9 pm CT | Virtual
Tap the wisdom, guidance and insight of your dreamtime to fuel your evolution and benefit your daily life. The mysterious realms of our dreams take us into the territory of our deep psyche, our InterBeing and interdimensional communication. In dreamscapes we astral travel, commune with beings known and unknown; process our well of emotions, receive a wealth of revelation and resolutions to the most simple and the most weighted issues of our lives. Yet many people don’t remember dreams, nor have a clue how to distill their richness and integrate their wisdom into the waking world. Our dreams never lie. They always come to us in the service of health and wholeness. Learning to circulate dream wisdom into your conscious reality is an integral step to being whole, fulfilled and free from the inside out.
It is time to wake up! It is time to tap the big magic of the dreamtime and apply its intelligence to your living. In this master course, I will give you the leap of the cat, by sharing my lifetime of dream study in Jungian Dream therapy, Shamanic and Indigenous Dreaming, whole being health, energy medicine and the sacred arts. This territory is pure magic. In these realms we enter the supernatural and paranormal. With safe and playful facilitation, and through direct transmission, I will teach you how to use my trusted tools, tips and best practices to access your inner wisdom dreamer and conscious creator. You will learn multitudes from your dream symbols, messages and content. Additionally, the collective group dreaming intelligence, will offer emergent insights and expanded consciousness that will blow your mind.
In this Master Course you will learn:
You will receive:

This 11 week journey is not a prerecorded ecourse. It is a living, organic container for learning and transformation. You will journey with an intimate dream council into the mysteries of the Dreamtime. Sessions are experiential and interactive in nature. While sessions will be recorded, the ideal is to show up live to get the most of this experience. It is an immersive deep dive.

And what a sweet, loving, safe space Gabriela creates for magic to happen. She embodies a gentle but strong command of the space, guiding and allowing for one to relax and explore more deeply.
