Built Around the Program You Already Run
Alkhemiyah is brought in by retreat leaders, studio owners, yoga and movement teachers, and independent facilitators who want live sound or breathwork inside a program they have already designed.
Shaman Yawna Shakti works as a guest practitioner: she learns your arc, takes the slot you give her, and hands the room back to you.
Sessions hosts book most often
Opening session — 45 to 60 minutes
Placed on the first evening to settle a group that has just arrived from airports and traffic. Heavier on rhythm and voice, lighter on silence, so strangers become a room.
Evening sound — 60 to 90 minutes
The most requested format. Full instrument set, long rest, and a slow close designed to lead directly into sleep rather than into conversation.
Morning breath — 30 to 45 minutes
Counted diaphragmatic pacing and grounding, seated or standing. Pairs well before movement practice and does not compete with it.
Integration session
Placed after a demanding block — deep discussion, breath-heavy work, or a long teaching day. Minimal instruction, mostly sound and silence.
Closing ceremony
A structured ending with rhythm, voice, and space for the group to mark what happened without a mandatory sharing circle.
Facilitator session
A private session for the person running the retreat. Booked more often than hosts expect, and usually on the day before guests arrive.
Studio series
A recurring monthly or seasonal session on your public calendar, promoted jointly, with revenue terms agreed in advance.
One call, then a written plan.
The planning call covers your program arc, group size and demographics, room and floor conditions, what participants will have already done that day, and the tone you want at that point in the schedule. Shaman Yawna Shakti then sends a written plan with session lengths, instrument selection, setup needs, and pricing.
For multi-day retreats, content changes session to session — a group that has already had ninety minutes of sound on Tuesday should not receive the same ninety minutes on Thursday.
What you are getting as a host
A practitioner with her own instruments, her own setup, and enough facilitation experience to read a room that is tired, resistant, or wide open — and to change the plan accordingly.
Alkhemiyah does not teach over your teaching, sell to your participants, or turn your retreat into a platform. The work is culturally rooted and named as such, delivered with clear consent practices and no unannounced touch, and finished on time.
