Community Reiki Share
What is a Reiki Share?
A Reiki Share is a beautiful opportunity for those who have received Reiki attunements to come together and practice in community.
During the evening we will take turns both giving and receiving Reiki while deepening our understanding of this gentle yet powerful healing art.
Jennifer will be present throughout the evening to guide the experience, answer questions, and offer supportive suggestions to help participants feel confident and inspired in their Reiki practice.
Whether you are newly attuned or have been practicing for years, Reiki Shares are a wonderful way to stay connected to the energy and continue growing your skills.
Who is this for?
This Reiki Share is open to:
• Anyone who has received Reiki Level One or higher from Jennifer or any Reiki Master Teacher
• Anyone who has a genuine interest in learning more about Reiki
This is a great opportunity for Reiki practitioners who would like a place to practice consistently and deepen their experience.

Shamanic Practice Series
Mark your calendars! This recurs on the 3rd Wednesday of every month.
Join Amy Mermaid Isakov for an ongoing series of experiential evenings devoted to shamanic practice, relationship with the unseen world, and the cultivation of deep listening.
Shamanism is not something learned only through reading or theory. It is a living practice that grows through attention, relationship, and experience.
Each gathering offers a welcoming space to learn, practice, and deepen your connection with the more-than-human world. Some evenings introduce foundational practices, while others explore specific aspects of shamanic relationship and wisdom.
These evenings are open to both newcomers and experienced practitioners.
Together we practice, listen, and remember the ways of connection that help restore balance between ourselves, our communities, and the living world.
Details

This space is held in a shamanic context and is open to all who approach this subject with respect, curiosity, and a genuine desire for personal growth. We strive to create an inclusive space, honoring the diverse experiences and perspectives that each participant brings to the table.
We believe that by coming together and learning from one another, we can deepen our embodiment and understanding of states of expanded consciousness, integrate those states into our day-to-day lives, and cultivate a sense of connection and belonging.
In this welcoming, supportive, and sacred space, we can share our personal journeys, insights, and questions related to expanded states. Whether you're a seasoned explorer or just starting out on this transformative path, our circle offers a safe and non-judgmental environment for you to express yourself and learn from others.

Living with Optimism in Uncertain Times An Evening with Astrologer & Life Coach Kevin Arba
What if these uncertain times are actually part of a much larger story?
Join astrologer and life coach Kevin Arba for an engaging and thought-provoking evening exploring what astrology, history, and long-term planetary cycles suggest about the extraordinary period we're living through.
For many years, astrologers have anticipated the rare harmonious alignment of the outer planets as a time of tremendous potential for humanity. Remarkably, this alignment also coincides with powerful historical and astrological cycles specific to America, pointing toward a period of profound transformation.
While today's headlines often inspire fear and uncertainty, these larger cycles tell a different story. Together we'll explore why this moment may hold far more promise than many realize and what these patterns could mean for both our collective future and your own personal journey.
Whether you're deeply versed in astrology or simply curious, this presentation offers an inspiring perspective on navigating change with greater hope, clarity, and purpose.
During this evening you'll explore:
The current outer planet alignments and why astrologers have anticipated them for decades
Historical cycles that coincide with this pivotal period in American history
Why times of great change often become catalysts for growth and renewal
How these larger cycles may influence your own life and future
An opportunity for questions and discussion
Special Bonus
Every attendee will receive a $40 gift certificate toward a private astrology reading or life coaching session with Kevin Arba.
Investment: $20
Come spend an evening gaining a wider perspective on our changing world - and leave with renewed optimism about the future.

Shamanic Medicine Drum Birthing Ceremony
Would you like to make a Shamanic Medicine Drum in a Sacred Ceremony?
Make your own Medicine Drum in Ceremony
Hello Beautiful People!
Amy Mermaid Isakov and I are delighted to be hosting our friend Mia Luz, Shamanic Drum Doula, for a very special Medicine Drum Birthing Ceremony this Summer.
We last hosted this workshop back in 2021, and it was truly a beautiful gathering - people coming together in ceremony, hands working with hide and cedar, and a circle of newly born drums sounding their very first heartbeat together.
We are so happy to welcome Mia back.
This will be an in-person outdoor ceremony held on Valley Forge Mountain (Phoenixville, PA) where you will create your own Shamanic Medicine Frame Drum.
This is not simply a craft workshop. It is a ceremony - a chance to bring a drum into being with your own hands, breath, intention, and spirit.
(The exact address will be shared upon registration.)
From Mia, the Drum Doula:
Experience the magic of birthing your own medicine drum with your very own love, passion & energy entwined in its being. The creation of the drum is a Sacred act, bringing deeper awareness to your own creative process in which we honor the animal whose hide we are working with, the tree, the journey and the gift of life itself.
The drum making process is a birth of the Self, an opportunity to bear witness to the unravelling and re-weaving of your heart-song and spirit path.
Led by the four directions, we will delve into time-honored Sacred ways and follow the guidance of the center altar and the medicine wheel.
As a final passage, I will drum over each newly born drum to pass on the transmission gifted to me by the Original Mother of Drums, holding ancient codes for a new time.
We will be making your choice of a 14", 16" or 18" round horse-hide drum with salvaged yellow cedar frame and the mallet.
Hides are a byproduct; no animal is ever killed for the rawhide.
If this pulls on a heartstring…
If you feel the quiet call of a drum waiting to be born through you…
You can learn more and register directly on Mia's site here 👉🏼 Medicine Drum Birthing Ceremony
✨ Space is limited to 15 participants
This medicine drum making ceremony near Philadelphia and the Main Line offers a rare opportunity to create a traditional shamanic frame drum in a sacred, guided setting.
Summer Solstice Fire Gathering
Join us as we gather around the fire to celebrate the Summer Solstice - the longest day of the year and a time of abundance, gratitude, and connection.
As the sun reaches its peak, we are invited to pause and honor the fullness of life - the growth we've experienced, the relationships that sustain us, and the dreams that are ready to be nourished.
In a world that often moves too quickly, there is something deeply healing about gathering in community around a fire. Together we will create a beautiful despacho - a mandala-like ceremonial offering made from flowers, seeds, grains, and other natural materials - infused with our prayers, gratitude, and intentions. The offering will then be given to the fire as a gift to the seen and unseen forces that support life.
There will be time for sharing, song, storytelling, laughter, reflection, and simply enjoying one another's company beneath the summer sky.
Will you join us?
🌿 7 PM - Potluck Dinner

Village Talks June: Reiki, Energy Healing, & the Wisdom of Presence
Village Talks is a free monthly community series hosted by Amy Mermaid Isakov
Once a month we gather for an evening of learning, connection, and inspiration with some of the most thoughtful holistic practitioners in our community.
Village Wellness Talks are relaxed, welcoming conversations where a featured practitioner shares about their work, their philosophy of healing, and practical insights you can bring into your own life.
Amy will conduct the evening in an interview style conversation that often includes a rich teaching and/or a demonstration and time for Q&A.
The intention is always the same:
To leave with something meaningful.
A new perspective.
A practical tool.
Or a deeper understanding of healing traditions that support the body, mind, and spirit.
It’s also a wonderful way to meet the practitioners who make up our little Village, hear their stories, and experience their work in a personal way.
This Month’s Talk - Hosted by Amy Mermaid Isakov
Reiki, Energy Healing, & the Wisdom of Presence
with Jennifer Dean Nagle
This month, we are excited to welcome Jennifer for a conversation exploring the gentle yet profound practice of Reiki - a form of energy healing that supports relaxation, nervous system regulation, emotional balance, and deeper connection to self.
Reiki invites us to slow down and listen inwardly. Through intentional presence and subtle energetic touch, many people experience a greater sense of peace, clarity, grounding, and renewal. While simple in its approach, Reiki often opens the door to meaningful shifts in how we relate to stress, healing, and the unseen dimensions of life.
As Jennifer shares:
“Healing does not always come through pushing harder or trying to fix ourselves. Reiki offers a space to soften, receive, and reconnect with the natural wisdom and balance already within us.”
In this conversation with our host Amy, Jennifer will explore what Reiki is, how energy healing works, and why so many people are drawn to practices that support the body, mind, and spirit together.
Whether you are completely new to Reiki or have experienced energy work before, this evening promises to be calming, insightful, and deeply nourishing.

Spring Equinox Ceremony: a time of balance & becoming
Please Join us on the Spring Equinox for a Shamanic Ceremony facilitated by Amy and Lance

In these times of great upheaval, taking time to slow down and remember the bigger context we are living inside of is a healing balm for the soul. This is an opportunity to gather in community with our human and non-human kin in communion with the earth on this day of balance to align with the greater rhythm of the cosmos. We hope to see you there!

Sacred Kundalini Yoga & Shamanic Sound Healing with the Gong
With Lance Isakov, L.Ac.
Lance has been offering this workshop since 2003 (he’s old)
Join Us for Kundalini Yoga & Shamanic Gong Bath Sound Healing Journey.
❄️ Winter: Rooted in Stillness - Awakening the Light Beneath
In the quiet heart of winter, the world seems to sleep - but beneath the frozen earth, life is gathering. Energy is restoring itself. Vision is being born in the dark.
This class invites you to root into stillness, to rest in the fertile emptiness, and to reconnect with the light that glows deep within. As we begin the slow turning toward spring, we listen not for answers, but for the quiet truth beneath the surface.
We’ll honor the energy of midwinter - a time of inward reflection, dreaming, and subtle transformation. The gong’s healing resonance will support deep rest, clearing, and renewal, helping you release what has been and prepare for what is quietly coming to life within you.
The Class Flow
The first half of the class is dedicated to opening, stretching, expanding, and raising our energy through Kundalini Yoga & Breath-work.
During the second half of the class laying in Shavasana (corpse pose) or sitting in meditation, you will bliss out and touch the infinite as you bathe in the AMAZING universal vibrations of the GONG!!!
Who is this for?
This class is open to everyone and absolute beginners are encouraged to attend! Please note that this can be a very powerful experience, if you have questions please call Lance at (610) 203-3747.

Winter Solstice Ceremony - A Circle for Deep Rest, Release, and Renewal
“Darkness deserves gratitude.
It is the alleluia point at which we learn to understand
that all growth does not take place in the sunlight.”
- Joan Chittister
Hello Everyone,
You are warmly invited to gather in circle as we arrive at the longest night of the year, a threshold moment when the Earth turns toward the light once again. The Winter Solstice is a time of honoring the deep dark, the fertile stillness, and the quiet wisdom that lives beneath the noise of everyday life.
This year we will hold a Despacho (beauty offering) Ceremony devoted to releasing the inner narratives and energetic patterns that have grown tight or outdated. These may be assumptions, old identities, stale expectations, or any stories that no longer reflect the truth of who we are becoming. We will then offer the Despacho to the sacred fire to make gentle space for clarity, warmth, and new momentum in the months ahead.
You are invited to bring your whole self. Your breath. Your presence. A friend. And if it feels right, something to offer the circle: a drum or rattle, a song, a chant, a poem, a prayer, a piece of art, or a moment of intentional silence.
Together we will co-create a simple, beautiful offering to the sacred fire and sit in community as we prepare ourselves for the returning light.

“The PMT Foundational Apprenticeship was truly life-changing. Through this journey, I felt myself grow into deeper resonance with both myself and the world around me. While some aspects of the experience are beyond words, it gave me the tools to listen to the world with intention and meaning and to navigate life, work, and relationships with greater care and compassion.
The community and space we created together were transformative. It was a place that encouraged learning “outside the box” in ways I never expected. Safe, open, and honest communication, energizing and meaningful ceremonies, and intentional, compassionate approaches to life were invaluable parts of the apprenticeship.
I am immensely grateful to the PMT community, to Lance and Amy for their guidance, and to this lineage for shaping my journey. My time in the apprenticeship, with my teachers, and with my hoop members will forever hold a special place in my heart.”
“The PMT apprenticeship has changed my life. I view everything with so much more appreciation and awe as well as with a greater sense of personal responsibility. In each of the five weekends over the year, I learned so many things (material, meditations, practical applications and more) and then had the opportunity to go home and integrate it into my life for a few months and then reconvene to do it again. Each weekend, my understanding grew deeper. I wish it didn’t end, but I so appreciate the community I am now a member of and look forward to more classes in the future. My personal and community connections continue to grow through the Wednesday night link-ups and other gatherings. ”

Summer Solstice Fire Gathering
Join us to celebrate the Summer Solstice around the fire at the feet of Valley Forge’s Mt. Misery. Yes—that’s the mountain’s real name. It’s the sibling of Mt. Joy, and together they rise as the highest points in the area, threaded with ribbons of quartz like rivers of light.
Though the original names for these local high places have been lost, they’re glad to be called at all—and call them we will.
In this time of deep unraveling, when the old laws and orders are breaking down, it serves us to return to the deeper rhythms of Natural Law, Order, and Chaos. What better medicine for such times than gathering together around a fire?
We'll celebrate the Summer Solstice—the day of longest light—by offering nourishment to both the seen and unseen allies, feeding it all to the fire. Around that fire, we can share songs, stories, and warm quiet.
Will you join us?
