Multiple #1 Albums – iTunes World Music Charts

Miami! The long awaited SIMRIT Tour is headed your way! Come experience this mind-elevating, soul-transporting sonic force. We are going to get down, and lift up! Grab your tickets while they last.

"Everyone in SIMRIT is a master of their craft…Even more critical than individual skill is the fact that their collective chemistry…Their whole is substantially greater than the sum of its parts." OZ FRITZ (Grammy Award Winning Sound Engineer)

"Imagine that the Aurora Borealis could sing: that’s Simrit’s voice. Timeless, Strong, and Ethereal as a whale’s song…” LA YOGA

"For Simrit, singing is not a performance, it is a sacred worship of the Divine. Her voice, her music, and her teaching, reflect this devotion which seems to come from her so effortlessly. This devotion is a gift, a talent beyond any, that will lead thousands into the lightness of being and awareness that is so vital to humanity in this day and age."  -SNATAM KAUR

“First of all, I’m such a fan of Simrit.  Her sense of melody, her energy, and her musicality set her apart. Simrit, to me, is the voice of this new day and age.”  -BELINDA CARLISLE (Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame, The Go-Go’s)

SIMRIT is creating waves with packed theaters and concert halls, chart-topping albums, and raving fans world-wide, powering a palpable musical movement. Transcending genres with their eclectic and eccentric blend of instruments and lineages, the SIMRIT experience is based around lead singer-songwriter, Simrit Kaur, born in Athens, Greece and adopted by Greek Americans into South Carolina. Traditional Greek music, Roots Reggae, Motown among many others, have proven deeply influential as Simrit has unlocked her own unique sound. Filling out the SIMRIT sound and experience is Salif Bamakora on the 21-string West African kora, Shannon Hayden on electric cello (which she runs through a pedal board with wild effects) and guitar, Jared May on bass & Moog synthesizer and Devon Ashley on drums and other percussion. SIMRIT’s music is known for its healing effect; hypnotic, deep-pocket groove, haunting beauty, edge, and mind-bending atmosphere.

At 7 pm using Dolores Cannon’s group regression method, we’ll journey into our multi-dimensional nature accessing one or more of our other lifetimes!


*Hello! My name is Jeroen, which is pronounced /yerˈro͞on/. It’s a fairly common name in the Netherlands where I’m originally from.

 I had the honor of learning QHHT directly from Dolores Cannon herself way back in 2006. Many years and over 2000 sessions later, I’m still enjoying the magic of new revelations and healing phenomena every week! This work is truly magical and I feel tremendously grateful to be able to help people connect to their Source for answers and healing.

In addition to being a Level 3 QHHT Facilitator, I am certified in Reiki, EFT, EMF Balancing Technique, and Quantum Touch healing. I also hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Art Therapy and a Masters Degree in Spiritual Psychology. In addition to individual sessions, I teach QHHT and other classes, and hold group events for meditation and past life regressions. Along the way, I’ve also studied Kriya Yoga, Sat Nam Rasayan, shamanism, Bio Energetics, and other modalities.

All these wonderful tools are used in the service of Love to help others (and myself) live more authentically.

 On a personal note, I love communing with nature. I also revel in creating art, dancing, and capturing inspiration in the form of photography. I am happily married to a wonderful man for many years now.

 If you are in the greater Los Angeles area or are planning a visit, I would love to work with you! @jeroenislove

IntoMeSea invites you to a hallowed ceremony sitting with the sacred plant medicine, Hape. With deep respect to the curative powers of this plant spirit, we will connect to this ancient medicine in a safe and peaceful container. Come with the intention to heal and be a witness to the healing of those around you, as we devote this practice to the Divine Mother in All.

Hape is a sacred blend of medicinal plants administered by a shamanic practitioner by blowing the medicine into the nostrils. Benefits are grounding and detoxifying the energetic and physical bodies, realigning, and clearing the chakras, and removing abhorrent energies from the system. Hape works with each person in a very personal way and affects everyone differently.

Please do not eat 1 – 2 hours before ceremony. Do not consume alcohol within 7 hours prior to the ceremony. Bring a pillow, a blanket, and a refillable water bottle. Yoga mats and bolsters are provided.

A waiver with additional details on the ceremony must be signed at the time of payment and prior to participating.

Telin Neville is a certified practitioner in Hape Plant Medicine by an indigenous leader and master lineage carrier Chief Haru from the Kuntanawa Tribe. Energy practitioner, Martha Lockie, will be holding space and offering support.

*Important: Participants must be 21 years of age. Hape is not intended for persons taking SSRI’s, antidepressants or women who are pregnant.

 

Born in South Africa and raised in California, Telin Neville has been fortunate to grow up around many talented healers. Along his path he has extracted a wealth of knowledge and wisdom in the healing of body, mind, and spirit.

 

Telin travelled to Indonesia in 2018 where he studied at Bali Bisa International Spa Academy, resulting in certifications in Aroma Therapy and Swedish Massage. Being surrounded by numerous sound healers, he unearthed a profound love for sound healing. Upon his return in 2021, he explored all aspects of healing the physical and subtle bodies, and mind.

 

Telin uses breathwork and his sacred instruments – powerful tools of healing – to help participants get in touch with and heal their energetic system. He uses sound to calibrate each individual’s higher vibration of well-being. He believes sound helps not only wash away what no longer serves him, but also expands his meditation practice and aids in accessing more fully the recovery of his Shining Spirit. Telin feels he has been gifted the opportunity to share these powerful modalities and is fortunate enough to realize why he does what he does.

 

Native Angeleno, Martha Lockie, uses her extensive background as an energy practitioner and intuitive healer to support clients in restoring their physical and subtle bodies and claim true sovereignty over their energetic field.

She holds a Master’s Certification in Intuition Medicine® from the Academy of Intuitive Medicine in Sausalito, and is an Advanced Soul Realignment™ practitioner, channeling the Akashic Records. Martha is the Earth Mother to three creative souls, a published poet and a lifelong ocean worshiper and surfer.
