approx. 2 hours and costs $30/person.
Description: Qigong (chee-gung) is the foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine, although this is not widely known today as other modalities have stemmed from this ancient energy practice. Qigong is the practice of visualization, gentle movement and breathing to cleanse the body's energy and bring in a fresh supply of Qi (life force energy) to keep the body young and healthy. This practice dates back more than 4,000 years and is the foundation of Massage, Acupuncture & Tai Chi.

There will be two practice sessions during the class, so please bring a Yoga mat or blanket to stand & sit on.

Intuitive Drawing Workshop
"Seeing" & Sensing to Heighten
Awareness and Assist in Healing
The class, which lasts approx. 2 hours
depending on class size, costs $50/person.
Description: Learn to use your innate sense of knowing (intuition) to see patterns of energy that flow in and around every living thing. Intuitive Drawing goes beyond seeing the auras to seeing all of the energy that is present. In this way, we can see patterns of energy which may represent emotions, disease, past/present/future, skills and abilities one may not be aware of, helpful ideas on how to heal and find a new path, etc... By creating Intuitive Drawings you are helping to heighten your own awareness and ability to assist others in healing. You may also bring greater knowledge to an unclear situation or life event. During the workshop you'll learn how to open up to your intuition, create a drawing using colored pencils and markers, interpret the drawing, and how to give advice to those receiving the drawing. Supplies & handouts are included in the price of the workshop.
Self-Help Healing Techniques
Class lasts approx. 3 hours & is
$50/person.
Description: This is a perfect class to learn how to heal yourself! You name it and there is a self-help technique, which can potentially help you heal from anything. Most natural health professionals will tell you that many health complaints are caused by a body/mind/spirit out of balance. To bring balance and harmony back into your life (all aspects), you must begin to unlock all the energy that causes blockages. These techniques have been around for thousands of years spanning across Asia and other parts of the world while taking on different names. During the class, you will discover several different self-healing techniques as well as put some of them into practice. Remember, anything that has the potential to help YOU heal, can also help someone else heal. These techniques are great for helping family members and loved ones! Some healing modalities included are Reflexology, Reiki, Qigong, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Meditation, Emotional Release Therapy and Intentions & Affirmations.
