✨ NEW AT PLEASURE POINT SANCTUARY: SOUND • VIBRATION • DEEP REST ✨

We’re expanding our offerings this fall and are so excited to welcome two new guest sound practitioners to the Sanctuary!

Meet Peggy Bascou and Ember Paige, bringing four unique Sound Bath experiences to our community throughout October, November, and December.

🌕 THE SOVEREIGN SANCTUARY with Peggy Bascou

Three gatherings inspired by the moon and the turning of the seasons:

• October 25 — Full Moon in Ta**us: Deep Rest & Nervous System Reset

• November 8 — New Moon in Scorpio: Transformation • Release • Rebirth

• December 18 — Winter Solstice & Aries Moon: Sacred Fire • Reclaimed Initiative

🌊 WAVES OF SOUND with Ember Paige
November 28 — Let the Frequencies Carry You

An immersive evening with crystal singing bowls, inviting you to soften, unwind, and reconnect with the present moment.
Each offering brings its own unique energy, but the invitation is the same: pause, breathe, receive, and make a little space for yourself.

✨ All four Sound Baths are $25. Everyone is welcome!
Whether you’re new to sound healing or already love the experience, we’d be delighted to welcome you.

Save this post for the dates, share it with a friend who could use a little deep rest, and explore the offerings through the link in our bio.

We can’t wait to share this new chapter with you. 🤍

💃 IF YOU HAVE A BODY, YOU CAN DANCE.

Maybe you love to dance. Maybe you haven’t danced since you were a kid. Maybe you’ve always wanted to try, but you’re not sure you know the steps.

We’re here to tell you: there’s a place for you here. 💛

At Pleasure Point Sanctuary, dance is about so much more than getting the choreography right. It’s about feeling the music, moving your body, building confidence, laughing, sweating, expressing yourself, and connecting with other people.

✨ SHE’S BACK! The Hypno + Healing Circle with Kelsey Lettko ✨

What if meaningful change begins not with doing more, but with gently shifting what lives beneath the surface?

We’re so excited to welcome Kelsey Lettko back to Pleasure Point Sanctuary for another gathering of The Hypno + Healing Circle — a monthly space to explore the subconscious mind, soften old narratives, and reconnect with the power we hold within ourselves. 🤍

So much of how we move through the world is shaped by the beliefs, patterns, and stories we carry. Through guided relaxation, imagery, visualization, and hypnosis, we can begin to explore those inner landscapes and create space for new possibilities.

✨ What if you could begin to rewrite the story?

Each circle will center around a unique theme, weaving together journaling, self-reflection, a guided group hypnosis journey, and meaningful integration — so you can take what you discover into your everyday life.

This is an invitation to slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with the person you’re becoming.

No experience with hypnosis is necessary. Just bring your curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to explore. 🌿

THE HYPNO + HEALING CIRCLE

Come discover what becomes possible when you give yourself permission to imagine something new.

10/19/2026

The leaves are settling into the soil. The mornings feel more brisk. The ocean ebbs and flows with a new fury. The fury of fall and an approaching winter. 

The darker evenings invite us to settle in. The sunsets and sunrises glow with a unique hue particular to this season. 

Amongst it all- I feel a settling in. A settling into fall, and to the coming winter. 

I feel the building of nourishing fall practices. The way my body craves warming foods and relaxing movement like yin. I feel the way dance classes pull me from my cave and bring me back into community. 

It’s a settling that is very nourishing. And a settling that knows that beyond the horizon of this fall and winter depth- is growth. 

It really is a beautiful in between. A time to be with the transitions and just enjoy the pause. And even, the darkness.

I would love to invite you to reflect- what does settling into this season look like to you?

How do your mindfulness and movement practices shift? What kind of movement is calling you?

If you feel called to share- send your response- we would love to hear what’s shifting for you as well!

———

Speaking of transitions: in our expanding dance and movement studio you will see more barre and more pilates on the schedule along with some very fun dance classes!

So if you find yourself a little too cozy in your den needing to peek your head out and connect with community- we’ve got you!

With love and devotion,
Pleasure Point Sanctuary

✨ SOMETHING NEW IS MOVING AT PLEASURE POINT SANCTUARY! 💃

PLEASURE POINT DANCE: Our Dance & Movement Studio is growing, evolving, and welcoming you into even more ways to move, strengthen, express yourself, and connect with community.

From Pilates and Barre to global rhythms, Latin-inspired dance, and the return of a familiar face, there are so many ways to find your way into movement this fall!

And here’s what we want you to know: you don’t have to be a dancer to dance. You don’t need previous experience, perfect coordination, or a certain kind of body. You just need a little curiosity and a willingness to begin. 💛

Whether you’re looking to build strength, get your heart pumping, try something new, or simply feel more at home in your body, there’s a place for you here.

🌿 Come as you are. Move in your own way. Find your people.

✨ A Sacred Evening of Kirtan with Raas Leela Kirtana ✨

We are delighted to welcome a new voice—and a beautiful ensemble of devotional musicians—to the Pleasure Point Kirtan community. 🤍

On Friday, November 20th, join us for an immersive evening of sacred sound, devotion, meditation, and connection with Raas Leela Kirtana, an LA-based devotional music ensemble rooted in the Bhakti Yoga tradition.

Imagine harmonium, tabla, handpan, percussion, voices, ancient mantras, and contemporary musical arrangements coming together in one shared experience.

But this isn’t a concert where you simply sit and listen.

You are part of the music.

Through the practice of Sankirtan—the collective singing of sacred names and mantras—we move from listening to participating, from individual experience to community, and from the thinking mind toward the open heart.

Whether you have been singing kirtan for years or have never chanted a mantra before, you are welcome here.

Come sing.
Come listen.
Come meditate.
Come simply be.

Raas Leela Kirtana brings together:
🎶 Gopala Bhakta — Harmonium & Vocals
🎶 Bob Baba Bhole — Vocals & Percussion
🎶 Athena Starseed — Vocals & Percussion
🎶 Sidd — Tabla & Handpan
🎶 Joss Jaffe — Tabla

Together, they create what they describe as Cosmic Spiritual Music—an uplifting and heart-centered experience where sacred sound becomes a pathway to connection, devotion, and joy.

As Paramahansa Yogananda beautifully expressed:

“Music that is saturated with soul force is the real universal music, understandable by all hearts.”

✨ Friday, November 20
🕢 7:30–9:00 PM
📍 Pleasure Point Yoga | 3707 Portola Drive

🎟️ $20 Early Bird through November 6
🎟️ $25 Advance November 7–19

🤍 No one turned away for lack of funds

Come gather in sacred sound. Come experience the power of singing together.

🎶 Come experience the medicine of sacred sound. Your voice belongs here. We can’t wait to sing with you. 🤍
