Reuniting the world starts from oneself. In these challenging times we need to live in the moment and remind our body how to relax. The uncertainty of the future may cause fear within us, which shows in tightening muscles and tension in our body. Through the embodied sound practices, we become physically relaxed and our mind follows. And when the mind is stress-free the body feels at ease.

In these intimate classes we use qigong, breathing and vocal exercises, mantras and chanting, deep listening and guided imagery teaching the body and the mind to be present in the moment. We end the evening on a 40-minute deeply relaxing sound sanctuary surrendering to the soothing sounds of singing bowls, drums, chimes, and tuning forks.

Everyone is welcome! No previous meditation or singing experience required.

Bring a yoga mat/blanket to lay down and something warm to cover up for the sound sanctuary. There will be some pillows available. Please pre-register to Minna at minna@harmoniaalto.com.

Suggested donation $10 – $25 (cash or check)

Anne Woods is occupational therapist, certified yoga therapist and has gone through specialized training in craniosacral therapy. Her company, Arise Therapeutics was created in response to conversations with patients and their caregivers who told me they wanted to get better but didn’t know how. Here is the link to Anne’s website http://arise-therapeutics.com/

Purpose of this study group is to explore ways to use multi-hand cranio sacral therapy and sound healing as a combined practice.

This event is by invitation only

Using an Ancient tradition that is effective and proven to to reduce stress, create a deep sense of peace and well being using vibrational sound. Sound therapy is one of a growing number of subtle-energy therapies that make up the field of vibrational medicine.

According to the law of physics, everything vibrates, trees, the earth we walk on and the ocean. That sound is called resonance, the frequency at which an object naturally vibrates.

Each part of our bodies has it’s own natural resonance, and vibrational medicine that is based on the idea that disease is a result of those natural resonances getting out of tune. Weather due to stress, illness or environmental factors. Sound vibration acts as a carrier to teach the body and mind how a sense of wellbeing feels. As this memory is embodied it is easy to access it trough out our everyday lives.  You will leave rejuvenated with a deep sense of calm and well-being. 

This event is by invitation only.

Come join us for an afternoon of gentle yoga, sound healing and meditation as we work with grief to transform and purge the soul of pain and heartache.

Have you experienced a loss (death of a loved one or pet), gone through a major transition (loss of home, job, relationship) or simply identify with being in a state of bereavement knowing that even though you have coped with it in the best way you can, you still feel that heavy blanket of grief? This workshop was created just for you. Learn breathing exercises and yoga poses to help you cope with overwhelming emotions that come with loss and dip into a bath of sound to ease the grieving heart. Together we will explore creative ways to express and move through grief both individually and collectively. Join a circle of compassion and non-judgement to allow each participant to uniquely and authentically honor his or her loss.

Fee: $70 when pre-registered and $80 at the door – Nobody will be turned away due to lack of funds.

The heart is a fire element organ, associated with the emotions of joy, love, passion and creativity. When the heart is properly supported, these emotions are available and balanced. When the heart is overstimulated, excess nervous energy, anxiety and insomnia can present. Sound healing is being utilized for its immersive ability for entraining the heart with the sound vibration and thus enhancing the healing process.

This two-pronged Heart Centered workshop will address the two main imbalances of the fire element:

Heart Opening- This activating treatment uses a unique blend of sound and acupuncture to encourage an opening and expanding of the heart center. As we work to stoke the fire, increasing capacity for passion, creativity and love is the main focus.

Heart Nourishing- This treatment uses soothing and sedating sound and acupuncture techniques which stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system and drain excess energy from the heart center that might be presenting as anxiety and sleeplessness. We will focus on rooting the excess energy into the lower body where it can be used more efficiently.

Heart Opening: 5:00PM

Heart Nourishing: 5:45PM

Fee: $40 / each – register early here  – space is limited to 5 for each session.

The human ear is connected to virtually every organ in the body through the vagus nerve. When we listen to sounds and use our voice we stimulate the vagus nerve, which carries 75% of all activations in our parasympathetic nervous system. It carries incoming information from the nervous system to the brain and sends outgoing information that regulates heartbeat, muscle movement, breathing and digestion, supporting relaxation response.  

Our journey will begin with simple breathing and vocal exercises to tune into our own vibration. We will continue by tapping into issues that cause us stress and offer space for release. We will end the day with a deeply relaxing sound spa, surrendering to the soothing sounds of singing bowls, drums, chimes and tuning forks, guided gently to a close with vocal meditation.
