Description

Explore your Emotional Intelligence Through Art and Gong Sound Therapy Join artists, Anne Quinlan and Johan Lowie, and gong practitioner, Monique Derfuss, for a special event to explore your emotional intelligence through art and the vibration of the gong. Doors open at 6:30. We invite you to come early and view the art in the gallery. Reflect on your response to the pieces and explore how this can create connection to your emotions. This will be followed by gentle breathwork and stretching to prepare the body to receive the benefits of sound immersion. The vibrations of the gong restore the nervous system, clear your mind and allow you to more deeply connect with the energy in your body. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a yoga mat or blanket. Tea, cookies, and conversation will follow. About Your Hosts: Anne Quinlan is an artist, art therapist, and yoga instructor.
