Description

This embodied journey attunes mind, body and the spark of life-breath. Please join us for this immersive chakra balancing experience! Join us for self care practices that foster further growth in your everyday life. Connect with your creative flow, heartfelt desires, and authentic sense. Engage mindfulness principles that can help deepen connections with yourself and your community.  This interactive workshop combines the joy of painting and energetic philosophies. What to expect: We’ll begin with a fundamental discussion of eastern and western sciences on prana/chi/energetic vibration. Our aim is to examine how energy relates to the nervous system and our breath. Our auxiliary goal (and the work that lies beyond the immediate workshop) is to piece together where and how energy either gets stuck or floods so that we may maintain a balanced way of being. We’ll explore pranayama/breathing exercises to see how consciously moving energy can impact our vibration and thus affect our experience.Using the 7 Chakra System, we will Identify what excessive, deficient and balanced energy manifests as. We will explore commonality and duality in links between chakras. For each chakra, there will be 1) context rooted in developmental psychology, anatomy and yogic history 2) an embodiment exercise that invites practitioners to explore how their energy moves, and 3) the chance to express how they feel this chakra through guided art therapy. No prior art skills are needed, this is more about connecting with yourself because you are the great work of your life!
