Free Your Voice
Explore the power of sound, vibration and especially the human voice to uplift, heal and empower ourselves, access higher levels of awareness, and deepen our connection with the sacred. In a safe, supportive circle, we will use guided meditation, breath, song, chant, toning, vocal improvisation, spirit songs and sound healing, to open our voices, release blockages, "tune" our bodies, free expression, and come into deep states of peace and joy. We will clear and balance the chakras with sound, learn chants/songs from different spiritual traditions and work with the powerful vibrations of drone instruments, crystal bowls, bells, and percussion to enhance our experience.
Women Wisdom and Power
In a supportive circle of women, we will build community open to wisdom and come into fuller expression and wholeness. Through inner journeys, sound, song, movement, art, writing, drumming, song, exploration of archetypes, hands on healing and ritual, we will heal and empower ourselves, reclaim our voices, hnor our life passages, and celebrate our woman/Goddess spirit. Bring ceremonial objects, rattle, drum (if you have) and a journal.
Awakening the Inner Shaman
Through shamanic journeys, drumming, song, dance, and ceremony, we will connect with the shaman within us, explore non-ordinary reality, open to our guides, teachers and animal/plant allies, and reclaim our wisdom and power.
The Chakras-Keys to Personal/Spiritual Growth
Explore the seven major chakras ( energy centers in the subtle body) as powerful tools for personal growth and healing. Through guided meditation, visualization, sound, color, movement, expressive arts and hands-on techniques, we will clear blockages, come into more alignment, and balance and gain a deeper understanding of our life journey.
Free your Creative Spirit
Many of us have creative blocks and inhibitions. In a safe, non-judgemental space, we will explore ways to come into fuller expression, build self-esteem, and heal and empower ourselves through meditation, art, writing, theatre games, movement, sound, song, music making, creative play, improvisation, and other expressive arts. An intermodal approach based on the work of Natalie Rodgers will be introduced. Come celebrate your magnificent, creative self!
Foot Reflexology
The foot is a microcosm of the body. Reflexology is an ancient healing method which uses pressure point reflexes on the feet to soothe and stimulate every part of the body. Participants will learn to give a complete reflexology treatment on themselves and others that will relieve pain and tension, induce deep relaxation, cleanse the body of toxins, and strengthen the immune system. Includes self-help exercises, nutritional/herbal information, and reflexology charts.
Music without words means leaving behind the mind. And leaving behind the mind is meditation.
Meditation returns you to the source. And the source of all is sound. — Kabir
