Heart-Centered Wisdom
Using Sound Healing & the Tree of Life to Realign Your Heart Center
Heart-Centered Wisdom: Sound Healing & Tree of Life
A Collaborative Workshop with Sarah Woodard & Michelle Hedgecock
Tuesday, January 14, 2026 | 12:00 PM Central | 2.5 Hours
When was the last time you felt truly balanced between love and boundaries? Between giving and receiving? Between your heart's desires and reality's demands?
Most of us live tilted - either wide open to the world (exhausted, depleted, used) or walled off completely (isolated, protected, numb). Tiferet, the heart center on the Tree of Life, teaches us there's a third way: fierce love WITH clear boundaries, deep compassion WITH self-protection, open heart WITH grounded wisdom.
This workshop combines the healing power of vibrational sound therapy with the navigational wisdom of the Tree of Life to help you find - and maintain - authentic heart balance.
What Makes This Workshop Different
Most spiritual work asks you to choose: protect yourself OR stay open to others. Be loving OR maintain boundaries. Give freely OR preserve your energy.
The Tree of Life shows us these aren't opposites - they're partners. Tiferet (beauty, balance, heart) sits at the center point between Chesed (loving expansion) and Gevurah (protective boundaries). True heart-centered living requires BOTH energies working together.
When sound healing meets this wisdom, something amazing happens. Michelle's singing bowls help your nervous system actually FEEL what balance is like in your body. Sarah's Tree of Life framework helps you understand WHERE you're out of balance and WHAT to do about it.
This is more than information. This is embodied understanding.
Workshop Flow
Opening & Intention Setting (15 minutes)
We create sacred container through group agreements and personal intention-setting. You'll understand the workshop structure and what to expect.
Introductions (15 minutes)
Meet your facilitators and fellow participants. Share what brings you here today, what you hope to receive, and any fears about being in this space.
Guided Reflection (20 minutes)
Through carefully crafted questions, you'll explore:
Times you've felt deeply connected to your truth
What gets in the way of staying connected
What would shift if you could balance love with boundaries
Tree of Life Teaching: Tiferet (30 minutes)
Sarah uses her revolutionary approach to the Tree of Life and shares how Tiferet functions as your heart center - the meeting place between love and boundaries, giving and receiving, Divine and human. You'll learn practical ways to work with this energy center through simple visualization and body awareness.
This isn't abstract mysticism. This is understanding your spiritual operating system with practical applications.
Sound Bath Integration (45 minutes)
Michelle guides you into deep relaxation using singing bowls and vibrational sound therapy. Your nervous system receives what your mind just learned. The frequencies help your body remember what balance feels like.
Bring blankets, pillows, eye masks - whatever helps you receive deeply. This is YOUR healing time.
Integration & Closing (25 minutes)
Gentle return to awareness. Space to notice what shifted. Sharing of insights and experiences. Closing intentions for carrying this balance forward.
What You'll Leave With
✨ Clear understanding of where your heart center is out of balance
✨ Embodied experience of what true balance feels like in your nervous system
✨ Practical tools for realigning your heart when you notice yourself tilting
✨ Permission to be both loving AND boundaried without apology
✨ Community of witnesses who saw and honored your process
✨ Renewed connection to your own inner wisdom and guidance
This workshop doesn't fix you (you're not broken). It helps you remember how to navigate back to center when life throws you off balance.
Who This Workshop Is For
You struggle with boundaries:
You give and give until you're depleted, then swing to walls-up protection. You want to learn sustainable heart-openness that doesn't destroy you.
You feel spiritually disconnected:
Traditional religion no longer fits, and "love and light" spirituality feels shallow. You're hungry for depth without dogma.
You're exhausted from managing everyone's emotions:
Empaths, caretakers, helpers - you feel other people's pain as your own and don't know how to stay compassionate without drowning.
You want embodied spiritual practice:
You're done with spiritual concepts that live only in your head. You want practices that change how your body feels, not just what you think.
You're navigating a heart-breaking transition:
Relationship endings, grief, betrayal, loss - your heart needs recalibration after being shattered.

Her revolutionary approach teaches individual spiritual navigation using the Tree of Life as map - no prescribed pathways, no dogma, no guilt. She guides spiritually hungry seekers (especially those religiously burned out) to reconnect with the Divine on their own terms.
Sarah's work is grounded in Nature wisdom, practical application, and deep respect for each person's unique spiritual operating system.

Michelle's gift is helping people drop from head into body, from thinking into feeling, from resistance into receiving. Her sound baths are portals to deep nervous system regulation and spiritual integration.
Together, Sarah and Michelle offer the perfect combination: understanding WHERE you're stuck (Tree of Life) and embodied support for MOVING through it (sound healing).
