Sacred Plant Gathering
Thursday, October 16th | 6:30–8:00 PM | The Vital Hive | Lowell, MI | $35
An invitation for community based integration while exploring the powerful plant teachers Hapé and Sananga hosted by Brie Moblo and Lindsey Lutkenhoff. Both women have been working with these medicines for years and have a deep desire to share the practice and importance of creating humble connections with these sacred allies while understanding that creating space for integration can be as much the medicine as ceremony, big session work, or shifting awareness in our psyches.
Often, these plant medicines are powerful and clear big energies, assisting us in getting into our bodies while also bringing in a sense of deep connection to ourselves, the earth, and each other.
Hapé (also commonly spelled Rapé and pronounced "ha-peh") is a sacred plant medicine traditionally used by various Indigenous tribes of the Amazon rainforest. It is a finely ground powder made from a blend of Nicotiana rustica (a potent variety of tobacco), medicinal plants, herbs, and ashes served as a nasal snuff. The preparation and serving of Hapé is a sacred art, often involving prayer, chants, and song.
Sananga is a traditional eye medicine derived from the roots and bark of the Tabernaemontana genus, a native to the Amazon rainforest. The Sananga will be applied to the eyes in drops, assisting in cleaning and clearing of not only the ocular band but also negative energies. This medicine creates space for deep breathing, embodiment and connection to self, reminding us to be in the present.
Music is a beautiful medicine that assists in the movement of energy, opening of awareness and connecting to the divine. Kyle Joe, singer/songwriter, will be holding live music for the circle to attune to and enjoy throughout this gathering. Kyle has dedicated himself to his passion of medicine music and is deeply gifted in creating space for spirit to move with and into sacred healing spaces.
No previous experience necessary.
Please arrive prepared with a water bottle, a yoga mat, and anything else you may need to comfortably sink into this experience.
Contacts will need to be removed for Sananga to be served.
Frame Drum Making + Ritual Weekend
October 24th-25th | 9:00AM–6:00 PM | The Vital Hive | Lowell, MI | $295
This is more than a craft workshop — it’s a chance to connect deeply with community, the earth, and your own rhythm. These drums are sacred tools, and making them is a meaningful, hands-on process that invites presence, gratitude, and connection.
We’ll begin by honoring the animals, trees, and ancestors that are part of each drum. With clear intention, we’ll take time to listen and give thanks before beginning the building process.
You'll create your own drum from start to finish, and adorn it with the meaningful words and art of your choosing. You’ll also make a drum mallet, and we’ll spend time playing together — feeling into the sound and rhythm we create together
On Friday night, the sauna will be warm and ready for song. This is a space to sing, drum, dance, and pray together in an open-hearted and playful way. I’ll bring a few finished drums for everyone to play. This part is optional, but it adds a deeper layer to the weekend.
You’ll leave with a handmade drum, a deeper connection to its story, and an experience rooted in care, creativity, and community."
Theta Healing: The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying
Class postponed
Based on the book by Bronnie Ware, the top five regrets of the dying are:
"I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."
"I wish I hadn't worked so hard."
"I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings."
"I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends."
"I wish that I had let myself be happier."
There's a school of thought that says that all spiritual practice is simply preparation to die well. Carrying regrets to our death burdens our potential for liberation.
Bronnie Ware wrote “The Top Five Regrets of the Dying” based on her experiences in palliative care and left us a powerful blueprint for how to live a life that mitigates regret. To breathe our last breath knowing that we’ve done the best to live fully, to be our best and live true to ourselves is to honor the gift of life.\ Life is a precious gift, let’s live in such a way as to not feel the heaviness of the top five regrets of the dying as we age.
Oct 19th – “I wish I hadn’t worked so hard” & “I wish I’d stayed in touch with my friends.”
Oct 20th – “I wish that I had let myself be happier” & “I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings”
Oct 21st – “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.”
Through the ThetaHealing technique, Micaiah will guide participants to uncover and shift deeply rooted beliefs and emotional patterns connected to each of these states. These sessions are designed to create lasting change in how you relate to your past and your inner world.
This workshop is for you if you're ready to:
Identify and release long-held emotional burdens
Cultivate acceptance and compassion
Make space for healing, love, and growth
Reclaim energy trapped in your stories, beliefs, and experiences around the top five regrets of the dying.
Participants are encouraged to record the sessions for continued integration. If you miss a night, you’ll still be able to follow along with the other sessions.
$95 (covers all three nights)
If you need to miss a night, you may gift it to a friend.
No refunds.

What is ThetaHealing?
“Until we make the unconscious conscious, it will rule our lives and we will call it fate.” – Carl Jung
ThetaHealing is the art of uncovering and transforming unconscious patterns, beliefs, and narratives by accessing the theta brainwave—a deeply relaxed state we enter in dreams, meditation, and the liminal space between sleep and waking. Children live in a theta state until age 7, when core beliefs are formed through family, culture, trauma, ancestry, and early experiences.
“The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.” – Muriel Rukeyser
As humans, we make sense of life through story. Our beliefs are the building blocks of those stories—and they shape everything. Without shifting belief, true transformation is nearly impossible. While the soul longs to grow, the ego seeks safety, often clinging to beliefs that once protected us but now keep us small.
ThetaHealing offers a way to bring these unconscious beliefs into the light, and rewrite them with clarity and intention. In a consent-based, co-creative process, the practitioner gently guides the client into the theta state to access the root narratives driving their patterns and struggles. From there, outdated beliefs can be compassionately released and reprogrammed with ones that align with healing, wholeness, and possibility.
Our bodies and brains are the hardware. Our beliefs are the software—running the operating systems of our lives. Through ThetaHealing, this software can be rewritten to invite more ease, love, alignment, synchronicity, and healing into your life.
Breathing with the Ancestors: Breathwork & Cacao Ceremony
Saturday, November 1st | 1:00–6:00 PM | The Vital Hive | Lowell, MI | $95
As the veil between worlds thins, we gather to honor our ancestors, remembering those who came before us and the ways they live within us. Join The Vital Hive for a special day of breathwork, cacao, ritual, and community—a space to release, renew, and reconnect with the lineage that shapes us.
Breathwork is a powerful practice that draws us out of the noise of the mind and into the truth of the body. In this space, we open to deeper layers of presence and perception, touching the innate healing that comes when we allow life to fully move through us. Cacao supports this opening, softening the heart so that we may meet what arises with tenderness and connection.
In the Ancestor Ceremony, these medicines come together as breath becomes more than our own—it becomes a living thread that connects us to those who came before. With cacao warming our hearts and breath carrying us deeper, we remember that the same current of life animating us today has been flowing through our lineages for countless generations.
The ceremony will be guided by live music from The Vital Hive Band, whose songs weave harmony, prayer, and communal voice into the fabric of the night.
What to Expect:
Ancestor Altar: We will build a communal altar together. Please bring sacred items and pictures of your ancestors to contribute.
Breathwork & Cacao Ceremony: Open the heart with cacao, clear and cleanse with guided breathwork, and reconnect to joy through song and dance.
Community Celebration: The ceremony will conclude around 6:00 PM, followed by a shared salad feast and time for connection. Greens and dressings will be provided; please bring a salad topping or side dish to share.
Optional Soaks & Bonfire: After the ceremony and the food, enjoy the sauna, hot tub, cold plunge, or gather around the bonfire.
Schedule:
Arrival & Nest Creation: 1:00 PM — Set up your “breathing nest,” a cozy space with blankets, a yoga mat, and sacred items to support your journey inward.
Hapé & Sananga (optional): 1:30 PM — Please be grounded in your nest if participating.
Altar Building and opening Ceremony: 2:00 PM
Ceremony Wrap-Up: ~6:00 PM — Feasting, connection and sauna time to follow.
Location is in Lowell, Mi. Address will be sent upon registration.
Safety Note:
Breathwork is contraindicated for individuals with heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, a history of psychotic episodes, or pregnancy. If you have questions, contact Micah at Micahm1@gmail.com.
This is an invitation to honor, celebrate, and reconnect—together. Bring your body, your breath, your longing, and your fire.
The Vital Hive Ancestor Feast
Saturday, November 1st | 10:00PM–8:00 AM | The Vital Hive | Lowell, MI
As autumn settles in, the air turns crisp and the days grow shorter. This season invites us to slow down, to gather close, and to listen for the quiet voices of those who walked before us.
Across many cultures, this is known as the time when the veil between worlds grows thin—a time where we can honor our ancestors and call them near. This turning of the year offers gifts: remembrance, renewal, and the deep nourishment of connection.
This Ancestor Supper is inspired by Jeebigazhik, a ceremony shared by an Odawa elder, teacher, and peacekeeper in the lineage of Boys Sacred Fire Initiation. With gratitude for his generosity in passing along these teachings, Ancestor Suppers are now held in many places around the country.
Together, we will gather through the night, sharing food, stories, song, and prayer—feasting with our ancestors until sunrise.

When: Saturday, November 1st, 2025 at 10:00pm → Sunday, November 2nd, just after sunrise

Preparing Your Ancestor Dish
Each participant will prepare food for one ancestor (blood relatives, mentors, or those who profoundly influenced your life).

Choose an ancestor to honor (wait at least 2 years after their passing, if possible).
Learn about them: ask living relatives, research their era, their culture, what they ate, what they loved.
Select a dish they prepared, enjoyed, or that reflects their culture.
When cooking, do not taste the food—the first bite is theirs.
Pray, sing, or speak with your ancestor as you cook. The preparation is part of the ceremony.

What to Expect
During the feast, each person will be invited to:
Share stories about their ancestor(s) or ancestral lands
