Wisdom Circle at 11am with theme: Journey into Oneness Together! Bio: Reverend Mitzi Zoya Buchanan Reverend Mitzi Zoya is a spiritual director, ceremonialist, and sound-healing practitioner. Using the transformative power of sacred sound, she supports healing in a natural way through toning, chanting, and medicine songs, accompanied by traditional instruments from around the world. With a synthesis uniquely her own, Zoya combines musical inspirations from around the world with improvisational singing and offers songs from her heart with a musical foundation of Tibetan singing bowls, tambora, rattles, drums, and other sacred instruments. This ancient practice harnesses the energy of sound for transformation and healing and is an emerging modality in the field of integrative health. Rev. Zoya invites you to explore its effects on body, mind, and spirit. In addition to her love of music, Zoya has been a life-long student of philosophy, anthropology, mythology, and world religions. Her spiritual journey has given her an appreciation of the richness and beauty of various paths, including Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sufism, Christian Mysticism, and the Druidic and Native American traditions. She feels a strong connection to all our ancestors and a key part of her spiritual work gives them a voice through musical expression. Rev. Zoya is an ordained minister of walking prayer through the Center for Sacred Studies (convener of the International Council of the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers). In honor of her Assyrian grandmother, she has taken on the spiritual name of Zoya – an Assyrian word meaning “seed or offspring”. She is certified in Okazaki Restorative Massage and received the 1000-arm Chenrezig Empowerment, given by Ven. Sharpa Choeje Rinpoche, in 2009. She currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband of over 30 years and offers group and private sessions, ceremonial services, and workshops.
