Spirituality Events in Gold Coast

This week, House of Spirits offers a special evening of Homecoming Ceremony. In many initiatic traditions, a rite of passage is only truly complete when the traveler returns home and shares the story of the journey with community. This sacred act of being witnessed allows transformation to take root, not only within the individual, but within the collective. Rafael from Man2Man / Gaia Soul will begin the evening by introducing the meaning, structure, and importance of Homecoming as a sacred return, a ceremonial space where transformation is acknowledged, embodied, and witnessed. From there, Rafael will guide the group through an embodied process designed to support self-inquiry, transformation, and deeper connection with your soul purpose. As the space opens, the evening will then move into Rafael’s personal Homecoming storytelling, marking the completion of a profound seven-year soul initiation. Through honest testimony, he will share the path he has walked, the challenges, the breakthroughs, and the gold gathered along the way. This will be followed by a council space for reflection, questions, and shared presence, creating an opportunity for deeper witnessing and communal insight. The night will then continue with Fernando Pepe & Nanda through rapé ceremony. This gathering is an invitation to return, to remember, and to reconnect with the deeper path of your own soul through story, embodiment, and sacred community.

Accessing Altered States: Guided Psychedelic-Inspired Breathwork & Live Sound Journey Life Changing altered states have typically been confined to near-death experiences, ingesting psychedelic plant medicines or spontaneous satori moments. However, we now know enough scientifically about what goes on within our brains to replicate these psychedelic states without the use of psychedelic drugs. We want to offer you the opportunity to go beyond the mundane and experience an altered state of consciousness first hand, using your organic human technology. The combination of guided breathing exercises, incredible live music and the lion's mane mushroom will be used to take you deeper into yourself; to expand your mind, open your heart and reconnect with your true power. It's these awakening moments that have shifted the evolutionary trajectory of humanity. Now, at this crucial junction, it is time to revitalize this exploration. Your Hosts Master breathwork instructor Gene Kelly will offer you the brain science and chemical understanding of the processes going on within your mind. Musical savant Joshua Tree will provide the soundscape that will guide you into the empowered state of the mystic where you will develop a deeper connection to your expanded self. Together, using guided breath work, live music and the lion's mane medicinal mushroom, you will be invited to open into a psychedelic inner experience! Special Guest Julie Hayes! Irish born, Julie Hayes carries the rich tradition of storytelling deep in her bones. Her music is a journey, with poetic reflections on life’s mysteries, that envelopes listeners in a deeply moving and emotive experience. Gene and Josh are excited to join forces with Julie for a special one-of-a-kind event that will blend the original Altered States immersive soundscape with Julie's hauntingly beautiful melodies, for what is guaranteed to be a profound and deeply transformative experience. The Mushroom The lion's mane mushroom has been used by the monks of China for thousands of years to optimize their concentration and brain power during meditation. While perfectly legal and not psychoactive, modern science has shown that this mushroom reliably supercharges brain function. At the Altered States Experience, it will be used to take this unique combination of breathwork and live music to the next level to create a truly profound experience! NOTE: This is a drug and alcohol free event.
