If you’ve been feeling the heavy weight of the daily grind or the lingering haze of “travel fog,” you aren’t alone. Between running businesses, managing households, and navigating life, it’s easy to lose your center. But what if resetting your energy didn’t require a week-long retreat? What if it just took a couple of hours, some good company, and a little bit of ancient magic?
Welcome to Spirit & Smoke, a hidden gem of an experience hosted at Maximized Perspectives right here in Clarksville, Tennessee.
A Sacred Detour from the Everyday
Spirit & Smoke is not your average, sit-in-silence meditation class. It is a highly intentional, high-vibe “Soul Social.” Think of it as a gathering where ancient shamanic tools meet modern connection.
Guests gather to sip grounding tea, experience the clearing power of sacred smoke, and embark on a rhythmic drum journey. Whether you are coming with a group of friends, your family, or seeking a unique night out while traveling, it is designed to be accessible, fun, and deeply transformative.
The Science Behind the Spirit
If you are wondering if there is a practical, scientific reason why sitting around a drum circle makes you feel so good, the answer is a resounding yes.
It all comes down to Neuro-shamanism. Rhythmic drumming—specifically at a steady cadence of about 4.5 beats per second—physically alters your brainwaves, shifting you from a stressed, waking state into a Theta state. This is the exact brainwave frequency you experience right before you fall asleep or during deep meditation. It drastically lowers cortisol, boosts your immune system, and allows your subconscious to retrieve creative solutions to problems you can’t seem to solve when you are stressed.
You aren’t just relaxing; you are literally bio-hacking your nervous system.
Clarksville’s Deep Mystic Roots
There is a reason this kind of experience feels so at home here. Clarksville sits in a very powerful, highly charged pocket of the South. We are located just 20 miles away from Hopkinsville, Kentucky—the birthplace of Edgar Cayce. Known as the “Sleeping Prophet” and the father of modern holistic medicine, Cayce’s legacy proves that this region has long been a magnet for conscious seekers, visionaries, and healers.
Meet Your Guides: Natasha & Josh
This experience is hosted by Natasha and Josh Parker. By day, they are busy professionals running the MPower Group, managing corporate housing, and helping clients navigate deep spiritual growth and trauma release. But Spirit & Smoke is their way of bringing a playful, communal side of their practice to the public.
- Natasha Parker is a Shaman who journeys through the Dreamworld to retrieve lost information and guidance. Interestingly, she was born on March 14th—the exact same birthday as Albert Einstein. Just as Einstein dedicated his life to understanding the invisible laws of physics, Natasha has dedicated hers to understanding the invisible laws of the spirit
- Josh Parker brings a deeply grounded, protective, and masculine energy to the circle. Drawing from his Native American ancestry, he understands the profound, unspoken connection between the land, the ancestors, and the spirit.
Together, they have traveled on countless spiritual journeys and created this experience to share a “taste of the mystic” with the community.

Spirit & Smoke: The Airbnb Experience FAQ
Whether you are a local neighbor or a traveler staying at MP Getaways, this experience is a “sacred detour” from the everyday. Here is everything you need to know about joining Natasha and Josh for a night of Spirit & Smoke.
What is the “Spirit & Smoke” Experience?
It is a fun, lighthearted, yet deeply intentional gathering at Radiant Estates. We combine ancient shamanic tools—like drumming and sacred smoke—with modern connection.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What should I bring?
Just yourself and an open mind! We provide the sacred tea, seating, and all spiritual tools. You may want to bring a journal if you like to record insights, or a small personal item (like a piece of jewelry) to “charge” with the energy of the drum circle. - What is the history of “Spirit and Smoke”?
Smoke has been used for millennia across nearly every culture—from the Saining traditions of the Celts to the Incense rituals of Egypt and Asia. It is a way to “clear the air” between the physical world and the world of the Ancestors. We honor these roots by using smoke to signal to our spirits that we are ready to listen. - Is there a “scientific” reason this works?
Yes! Neuro-shamanism shows that rhythmic drumming (specifically at 4.5 beats per second) shifts the brain into a Theta state. This is the same state you enter right before sleep or during deep meditation. It lowers cortisol (stress), boosts the immune system, and allows your subconscious to “retrieve” creative solutions to problems you can’t solve while stressed. - Why Clarksville? Is there a “Spiritual Energy” here?
Absolutely. Clarksville sits in a very powerful pocket of the South. We are only 20 miles away from Hopkinsville, KY—the birthplace of Edgar Cayce, the “Sleeping Prophet” and father of modern holistic medicine. The energy of this region has long been a magnet for conscious seekers and healers.
