NOMMY | The Spirit of the Night is Bounty

Join us for an evening of Spirit Medicine with our Host Nommy.

NOMMY is a host of a sacred Medicine Spirit from a tribe that inhabited a small Connecticut island in the 1630s.

As a host, NOMMY completely experiences the person or persons and is immediately aware of what Spirit Medicine they are to receive.

NOMMY is keen to remind us that belief is not required for Spirit Medicine to work. And regardless of the Spirit Medicine delivered, a clearing has taken place and participants will feel it right away.

NOMMY is a full-body experience with an experiential shift.

Nommy describes our evening as follows:

The Spirit of the Night is Bounty

Land in a Sea of Miracles

Strengthen your spirit.

You suddenly see your profound impact and become one that honors that impact.

When you are a bringer of bounty to others, life will bring you the same!

 

Bounty = Wellbeing, Joy, Security, Happiness, Gratitude, and Strength. And the list goes on.....

 

Background crystal bowl ambience provided by our very special guest beloved plus sized super model, social reformer and body image advocate Emme!

Dress comfortably. Participants can sit on floor or on chairs.
