Finding One's Home In the Breath [Weekend Workshop]

In many spiritual traditions the cultivation of the breath is essential to opening one to higher states of consciousness. This workshop will explore the breath as a way of deepening one's awareness in the body and fostering an awakening of our spiritual nature. Due to the physical and emotional intensity of some of the breathing practices, some physical and mental conditions are contradictions for participating in this workshop. A phone interview is required before registration is complete.

When You're Not Getting Better... [Day/Weekend Workshop]

This workshop is intended for people who are looking for new insights into chronic patterns of physical or emotional experience that don't seem to respond to current ways of self-care. We will open and explore our personal "medicine bag" using music, journaling, imagery and breathwork in a supportive environment. The goal of this day is to reconnect participants with their "inner healer"; to bring insight, inspiration, and direction to what currently feels stagnant and unproductive.

Natures Healing Voice Through the Seasons [Full Day Workshop]

Chinese Medicine offers a unique plan for self-care. By observing the movement and spirit of each of the seasons, we can discover a powerful tool for aligning ourselves with our own most basic nature. In this workshop, participants will learn how to apply the Law of the Five Elements, which opens us up to more subtle ways of understanding how to match our innate capacity with our output in the world. This natural law connects constitutional type with our physiology as well as with patterns of emotional expression.

Dream Tools for Dream Work [1/2 or Full Day Workshop]

This is an introductory workshop for people wishing to use their dreams for personal growth. Participants should bring a dream and a notebook to use as a dream journal.

We will explore techniques to enhance dream recall, recording dreams and creating a dream journal, styles of interpretation and dream reentry.

Stories the Body Can Tell [Day/Weekend Workshop]

From a holistic perspective, what we experience through our bodies as "symptoms" have the potential to serve as guidance for deeper levels of personal healing. Through a body mapping process we will explore the relationship between our body and our beliefs and attitudes.

Healing Trauma Through Past Life Memory [Day/Weekend Workshop]

Unresolved difficult themes in our lives can be reworked through the experience of past-life regression therapy. The stories and images that emerge from this work often touch an undiscovered deep emotional core that allows one to process and release these restrictive themes. This weekend will provide a therapeutic model for past-life exploration as well as the opportunity to experience a personal regression. A belief in past lives is not essential for this workshop - just a willingness to be surprised by what can present itself.
