“This was my first year joining you at the gathering for women. To be honest, I was hesitant at first because I had not attended a twelve hour event with women before. I found myself with more and more energy as the day went on and wishing it wasn’t ending after the full day! This was a life changing experience and the food was delicious. Thank you again and again! I will be sure to see you next year!”

“Year after year I look forward to gathering with you and the women in the circle. Each year I have insights and aha moments that have changed my life. I’ve also made some amazing friends through the Stirring the Shakti gathering.”
Location: StarHouse is a magical and healing temple designed and built with the principles of Sacred Geometry at its core. Constructed in 1990, it is a 12-sided structure surrounded by 105 acres of open space, rolling hills and pine forest.
Aligned with the geometry of the Flower of Life and integrated with the map of the 7 chakra system, StarHouse resonates with this high vibrational energy, physically and spiritually. There are many sacred sites and treasures on the land including a walking Labyrinth, Standing Stones, Mary’s Well, the Goddess Grove and much more.
“The Stirring the Shakti retreat transformed me in so many ways. The most profound for me was leaning into a circle of women. I made so many friends and felt so seen. Thank you Shanti.”
“I learned so much about myself while gaining experience on how I can apply simple practices in my life to continue my journey. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
“The ceremonies we shared at Stirring the Shakti felt so familiar and the women I met now are my sisters. I will never forget this retreat. It changed my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

She performs Hand pan/Hung drum and tongue drums, unique percussion instruments (developed in the Netherlands) to create an experience of soothing and grounding hypnotic tones.
These beautiful melodic sounds and rhythms are meditative in nature and birth memories for the listener, while vibrational notes resonate with the the earth’s cadence, reminding us we are connected.
Lena has performed in settings such as yoga, meditation, end-of-life ceremonies, rituals, hospice, women’s retreats, sound healing workshops and private sessions. Her inspiration began when she first heard the instrument in Spain in early 2000 and awaited availability in the US years later.
