Come to stillness as you are immersed in the beautiful sounds of the singing bowl, singing bell, tuned pipes, tuning forks, and others. These instruments are chosen for their healing properties and the way in which they open the energy centers of the body. Meditation will start with a brief introduction to sound healing and its origins as well as an introduction to meditating with sound. Each quarter, the studio is joined by sound healers Marilyn and Jim Knott, who bring crystal bowls and digeridoo and collaborate with Jai in a sonic event.

This experience offers an opportunity to reflect, reconnect, rediscover & explore different ways to embody wellness.

Each month we explore mindfulness and intentional presence through the lens of a relevant topic to build a practice that meets life's challenges with loving-kindness and intentional practice.

Join us on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month for mindfulness meditation. A personal mindfulness practice can help us feel grounded in our daily life. And, our personal mindfulness practice can be enriched by meditating with others. Our Sunday sessions (facilitated by Neil Schmitzer-Torbert or Jai Miranda) will focus on introducing mindfulness practices (sitting meditation, and body awareness). Each week, we will spend some time practicing, using guided or silent meditations, and taking some time for discussion of mindfulness practice. No prior experience with meditation required. Donations welcome

The 8-week mindfulness-based stress reduction course is intensive, and involves approximately 25 hours of class meetings, as well as daily mindfulness practice:

• We meet once a week for about 2 hours
• After the sixth class, we have an all-day class which meets for approximately 7 hours
• And, there is daily homework that will take between 45 minutes to an hour each day

MBSR classes and daily homework focus on mindfulness exercises (meditation, gentle stretching, body awareness) and bringing greater awareness all parts of our life. Class sessions are interactive, including guided mindfulness exercises and discussions stress, how we perceive the world, how we handle challenging social situations, and more.

Each class builds on the previous sessions, and it is important for each person to attend all of the scheduled class sessions.

If you are interested in the MBSR class, but you know in advance that you will have to miss two or more of the scheduled class sessions, it would be better to wait for another opportunity to take the MBSR course in the future.

Learning about the gifts intuition can bring

What does it mean to be a person who relies on information that comes from "somewhere else"—somewhere beyond the confines of rational thinking. This workshop will include exercises and a short mediation to assist participants in opening to deeper levels of their personal intuitive process. How many times have you said, “I should have listened to my gut.”? We have been indoctrinated not to trust our intuition. How do we rebuild a trust we once had, both in ourselves and in the insights we glean from our intuitive compass?

Join Tysa Goodrich, intuitive counselor and medium, as she helps us break through the resistances to discover the power of our intuitive guidance. Workshop fee, $30.00

This practical workshop will explain why, in spite of good intention and genuine enthusiasm, many resolutions fail as the year progresses. Did you know that 88% of individuals who set a resolution fail to meet their goal by the end of March?

Not an intellectual, interpretive psychological profile, or a pop culture sensation, the Enneagram (the grid of nine) is an ancient, living matrix. Knowing which of the nine energies is yours is only the beginning. The Enneagram is not personality typing, but rather what drives the engine of personality. This workshop will explore the vectors and gateways of the matrix, which illuminate your strengths and vulnerabilities, and—if you let it—reveal more of your soul's path. The Enneagram can be a wonderful tool for healing and success.
