Join Melody Osgood, LAc (licensed acupuncturist, birth & death doula) and Zach Osgood (sound healer, breathwork facilitator, Reiki Master) for AcuSound—a deeply restorative journey combining precise acupuncture with immersive vibrational sound.

Melody creates space for you to land exactly as you are—grounded, warm, and clinically precise. While fine needles release physical and emotional blockages, Zach’s crystal bowls, drum, and voice wash over you, breaking up stagnation and restoring nervous system regulation.

If you're apprehensive about needles, no worries: Melody will have earseeds (auricular acupressure seeds) available as a gentle, noninvasive substitute for acupuncture. Just let her know your preference when you arrive.

No performance required. Just arrive as you are: mats, blankets and bolsters provided! Let the frequencies wash over you.

Book now. Melody will have the needles (and earseeds) ready. Zach will handle the rest.

What is Community Acupuncture?
Community Acupuncture is a model of care designed to make acupuncture accessible, affordable, and deeply rooted in collective healing. Unlike private sessions, treatments occur in a tranquil, shared space where participants rest comfortably on yoga mats with bolsters and blankets or in chairs, fostering a sense of community and shared intention. This model removes financial and clinical barriers, allowing healing to unfold both individually and as a group.

About This Offering
This is a gentle, focused session utilizing the NADA protocol—a simple, powerful ear acupuncture (or acupressure) system developed for community trauma, stress, and addiction recovery. For those preferring not to receive needles, ear seeds are available. Occasionally, supplemental foot points may be included to ground and support the nervous system.

Who It’s For:
Everyone is welcome—especially those seeking resilience, emotional balance, stress relief, or a space to integrate life’s transitions. The setting is ideal for people who find comfort in shared quietude, those new to acupuncture, or anyone seeking regular, affordable support. Trauma-informed principles guide the environment, ensuring a safe, consensual, and respectful experience.

Setting & Flow
The Aligned Collective’s space is arranged for comfort and autonomy. You may choose:

A supportive nest on the floor with yoga mats, bolsters, and blankets

A chair if sitting or seated reclining is preferred

After a brief check-in, you’ll receive your chosen protocol (NADA needles or ear seeds), then settle into restful silence for 30–45 minutes. Music, subtle grounding scents, and a held container of care support the collective calm.

An Autumn Afternoon of Hat-Making, Portraits & Pumpkin Spice Magic

Gather your circle. Sip something warm. Create something magical.

There's a certain kind of magic that stirs when autumn arrives—the crispness in the air, the golden light, the pull to slow down, gather close, and make something with your hands. We're inviting you to lean into that energy with an afternoon of craft, capture, and cozy ritual.

Step into our intimate autumn workshop, where you'll transform a premium wool witch hat into a fully bedazzled masterpiece—adorned with gems, pearls, ribbons, and whatever speaks to your witchy soul. No experience needed. Just bring your creativity and a willingness to play.

But this isn't just a crafting session. It's a full sensory experience:

☕ Sip. A warm pumpkin spice tea latte station awaits you—perfect for sipping while you dream up your design.

🧙‍♀️ Create. With professional hotfix tools, a curated gem bar, and a little guidance, you'll walk away with a custom hat that's so you (retail value $45+).

📸 Capture. Once your hat is complete, step in front of our Polaroid portrait station for a mini photoshoot. You'll take home two instant prints—one for yourself and one to trade with a fellow witch. *AND a digital copy!

🔮 Receive. Pull an oracle card to set your fall intention and carry a little guidance with you as the seasons shift.

At the end of the afternoon, you'll leave with:

• A custom, hand-decorated wool witch hat

• Two Polaroid portraits to treasure

• A full heart and a new seasonal ritual

Whether you're a seasoned crafter or simply curious, this is your invitation to slow down, play, and reconnect with a little everyday magic.

A hands-on, 2-hour workshop teaching doulas how to use ear seeds as a comfort tool during labor, birth, and postpartum — for clients and for themselves.

You'll learn:

• How ear seeding works (TCM + Biomedical nerve-based explanation)

• Hands-on practice locating core points for labor pain, progression, fetal positioning, emotional support, and postpartum recovery

• Safe application, retention, and removal

• Pregnancy-specific safety: which points to use, which to skip

• Body points to pair with ear seeds

• How to use ear seeds on yourself

Includes: Full ear seed kit (titanium seeds, tweezers, swabs, case — $55 value), printed remedy cards, and participant guide.

Who it's for: Birth doulas, postpartum doulas, childbirth educators, and birth workers who want a portable, low-cost comfort tool.

Not a certification or CEU course. Skills workshop only.

Details:

• 2 hours, in-person

• No prerequisites

Why "Stick It to Labor"? Because when you've done everything else — position changes, counterpressure, encouragement — a seed on the right point can help your client breathe through the next surge. And when you're the one who's been up for 30 hours, you can stick a few on yourself too.

Release Jaw Tension. Restore Your Glow. A 90-Minute Gua Sha Workshop.

Do you wake up with a tight jaw? Catch yourself clenching during the day? Notice tension headaches creeping in by mid-afternoon?

You are not alone—and you don't have to live with it.

In this 90-minute in-person workshop, you will learn a simple, effective gua sha routine that does two things at once: releases deep jaw tension and gives your face an instant, healthy glow.

We will start with the "glow" techniques—the lifts, sculpts, and drains that brighten your complexion and reduce puffiness. Then we will go deeper, working into the masseter, temporalis, and neck to unwind the tension that causes clenching, headaches, and that "holding" feeling in your jaw.

You will leave with:

A stainless steel gua sha tool and oil sample (a $20 value, included)

A printed handout with step-by-step instructions

A 5-minute daily routine you can do at home

A visibly relaxed face and a jaw that feels unclenched

No experience needed. All tools and supplies provided. Just bring yourself and a willingness to release.

Step into a sanctuary of deep restoration. Join us for a unique 90-minute journey that weaves together the ancient traditions of Cacao, Acupuncture, and Sound Healing.

We begin by gathering in circle to bless and stir the sacred Cacao together. As we sip this heart-opening elixir, we will set intentions and settle into the space. Once you are comfortably reclined, the healing begins.

Melody Osgood, LAc, will administer gentle acupuncture to help release tension and balance your energy, while Zach Osgood creates a live soundscape using crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, wah-wahs, and other sacred instruments. The vibrations of the sound bath wash over you as the needles do their quiet work, creating a profound state of relaxation and alignment.

What to expect:

• A heart-opening Cacao ceremony

• Community connection and intention setting

• Reclined Acupuncture session with Melody Osgood, LAc

• Live Sound Bath with Zach Osgood

• All yoga mats, props, and blankets are provided — just bring yourself and an open heart

Reserve your spot for this deeply immersive experience.

Unlock the power of simple, at-home wellness with ear seeding!
Join Melody Osgood, Licensed Acupuncturist, for an informative 90-minute workshop designed to empower you with the skills to support your own well-being. Ear seeding is a gentle, non-invasive form of auricular acupressure that uses tiny seeds placed on specific points of the ear to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and address common concerns like sleep issues, stress, and aches.

This class is specifically created for personal, at-home use and is not a professional training program.
In this hands-on workshop, you will:

Learn the fascinating history and principles of auricular therapy.
Understand crucial safety, ethical considerations, cautions, and contraindications.
Discover the anatomy of the ear and how to read provided condition cards.
Get practical, step-by-step guidance on how to locate points and apply seeds correctly.
Enjoy dedicated practice time with mirrors and direct feedback from Melody.

Each participant will take home a complete Ear Seeding Kit containing everything you need to begin your self-care journey:

Hypoallergenic Titanium Ear Seeds (20 per strip)

Detailed Anatomical Ear Chart & Educational Card

7 Illustrated Treatment Cards for common indications (Stress/Anxiety, Insomnia/Restful Sleep, Headaches/Migraines, Low Back Pain/Sciatica, Allergies/Inflammation, Weight Loss, & Neck/Shoulder Pain)

Application Tweezers, Alcohol Swabs & Hand Sanitizer

Add-on optional: Rainbow Crystal Embellished Ear Seeds (20 per strip)

Combining the benefits of slow, mindful movement (Somatics) with Acupuncture and a Sound Bath!

The words soma and somatic have become buzzwords in the health and wellness industry. You might have heard of somatic yoga, somatic experiencing, somatic psychology, somatic therapy, or somatic education.

Since the definitions of soma and somatic are fairly generic, they can be used to describe a variety of forms of movement and healing modalities. Pretty much any type of movement or therapy that involves paying attention to your internal physical sensations and experiences can correctly be described as somatic.

I use a combination of Medical Qigong, Yoga Poses, and Lymphatic Flossing in my flow. Since this is done during a Sound Bath with Chakra bowls tuned to the frequency of each chakra, I have also tailored the movements we are doing to the bowls Zach will be using, to get the maximum benefits from the use of Somatic Movement and Sound Healing together.

After the Somatic Flow, I place acupuncture needles (or earseeds for the needle-wary among us) with the intent of promoting a sense of profound relaxation and wellness.

While the needles are retained, Zach uses the singing pyramid on each person so that they can feel the sound waves vibrating throughout their bodies. This is designed to be a fully immersive, transformative experience.
