  Rhett began his meditation practice in a small Zen temple about 20 years ago. It didn't take him long to realize that his mind was going bananas most of the time. This realization motivated him to keep practicing in order to get to know the nature of his mind and to ultimately make it a friend. Knowing that many others experience this mental tug of war moved Rhett to have more compassion for our shared struggles. From this sense of a shared suffering grew his motivation to become a mindfulness teacher. Ultimately he hopes to help others in their journey to become a true friend to themselves. 

*Rhett is currently in the middle of a two-year program to become a certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher that is facilitated by the well-known authors and meditation teachers Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. The meditation tradition being taught in this program is called Insight Meditation (also known as Vipassana) and its focus is on developing a nonjudgmental awareness in relation to our present experience. Rhett's class is open to folks from all meditation traditions. 

  Milo Burdine walks the shamanic path as one who has returned from the underworld—guided by storm, softened by starlight, and shaped by the medicine of recovery. A trauma-informed practitioner and teacher rooted in Core Shamanism, he offers soul retrieval, spirit-led healing, and ceremonial support for those reclaiming their lives from addiction, grief, and spiritual disconnection.

Through deathcare work, shamanic breathwork, and energy-based bodywork, Milo helps others dissolve armor, restore power, and reconnect with their sacred purpose. As a licensed massage therapist, circle holder, and devoted guide, he holds space for the wounded to rise as wisdom-keepers.

Milo began his spirit path in shamanism in 2009 through the depths of addiction recovery, finding empowering support from his spirit guardians who guided him to a recovery journey woven with shamanic foundations. Milo formally trained under his shamanic teacher from 2016–2021. The training included direct transmission of Sandra Ingerman’s lineage and techniques, such as soul retrieval, ways to live a shamanic life, shamanic deathcare, advanced shamanic healing methods, and trauma healing support. In 2025, Milo began teaching under his teacher’s blessing. He specializes in soul retrieval, spiritual empowerment, addiction recovery, and European ancestral practices.

Meylin discovered yoga not only as a way to reconnect her body and mind but also as a powerful tool for her own health and healing journey. She quickly fell in love with the strength, calm, and confidence it brings. As a parent and community-lover, she’s passionate about helping children experience those same benefits in a playful, supportive environment. Teaching under the mentorship of her studio instructor, Meylin designed the Strong & Steady program to help kids grow stronger in both body and spirit. Her classes weave fun poses, balance challenges, teamwork, and simple mindfulness practices so every child leaves feeling calm, brave, and capable. Meylin balances teaching yoga with raising her kids, helping her community, and continuing her own practice as a student to become a certified yoga instructor. Meylin’s hope is that each child walks out proud, grounded, and a little more connected to their own inner strength—and that she continues to learn from the curiosity and joy they bring.

 Celestial Harmonics By Nuriel

Bio

I offer rare, profound, and energetically attuned Akashic readings, sound therapy, and guided meditations to help you release, realign, and remember your true self. My work weaves together soul remembrance, harmonic sound, and celestial wisdom. 

My path is a multidimensional, multifaceted journey of creative expression and sacred intention. Over the years, my artistry has taken many forms: from designing unique, one-of-a-kind costumes to creating hand-drawn Zen-inspired artwork, as well as curating multi-occasion interior and exterior décor. Each piece I create is an invitation into beauty, imagination, and subtle magic woven into the ordinary. Through my current artistic path, Verdant & Veil, I create handcrafted forest enchantments from moss, crystals, natural textures, and gentle presence, infusing everyday spaces with joy, peace, and quiet wonder.

My Mission 

In private and group settings, I help seekers release what no longer serves, align with their highest path, and reconnect with their inner guidance through sound, meditation, and Akashic insight.

Nuriel offers Celestial Harmonics on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday evening every month!
