Small Group Reiki Session

Small Group Reiki Session

Group Reiki Healing Experience is meant to support you, and your well-being. With the world so full of uncertainty, stress, and fear, many of us might be feeling the weight of the collective energy, in addition to our own challenges and stresses of day-to-day life. Group Reiki is an opportunity to enter into sacred space, and receive some healing and restorative Reiki energy.

These one-hour sessions are perfect for anyone who would like to experience energy healing and mindfulness in a budget conscious way. Many have felt like they are being held in a gentle healing energy, stagnant energy clearing away, and/or see light and experience subtle sensations in their body.

Each session will begin with a short meditation, and then each person will receive a mini Reiki energy healing treatment. You can think of this as an energetic "tune-up".

Because it’s in a group setting, there isn’t much time to individually assess any imbalances that you may be experiencing at the current time and what’s driving it (which is typically done in a private session). However, if you know what’s going on, feel free to mention it to me at the start of the class so that I can concentrate your mini Reiki treatment in the respective areas.

Writing and Drawing Meditation Series, Part 2
Jun
5
to Jul 17

Writing and Drawing Meditation Series, Part 2

The first part of this course was one of the most popular meditation courses I have ever taught.  The group demanded Part 2 and I’m happy to offer 6 more weeks. New people can join for this series.

Below is the description and a blog I wrote about the practice. 

There are an infinite number of ways to meditate.  Journaling is one tried-and-true meditation practice that isn’t always named as such. Yet writing has a number of benefits including being a way to stay focused on what is happening inside, and making room for different voices within us. Sometimes it’s important to write and throw away, and other times, when you are done, you can look back and remember the journey and follow your progress over time.

In this 6-week course you’ll learn a variety of ways to approach writing meditation. We’ll create and ask interesting questions and write about whatever wants to be known within us. And, if it seems appropriate or useful, we’ll add a few pictures along the way.  Whether you draw “like a kid” or have art training, this aspect of tracking our experiences can be revelatory, especially for those who have never drawn or who have drawn and felt judged.  Especially you, please come, please come.

Dates

Wednesdays, June 6 through July 17 (skipping July 3)

5:00 to 5:30p ET (We generally stay together until 5:40 but the meditation always ends by 5:30.)


Teacher

Marcia Miller


Cost

$90

Recordings will be sent after each class and will be available for 3 months.

While this is a series class, and will build week to week, each class will also be a complete experience in itself and is available as a drop in.

Dorsality and Your Belly
Jun
22
1:00 PM13:00

Dorsality and Your Belly

As we have learned in the Polyvagal workshops over the last few years, one of the states of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is the Dorsal Vagal (DV).  Most of the nerves in this system are located like a web in the belly, and when activated (as the Polyvagal Theory goes) take us into a collapsed and dissociated state.  This is a very good thing if you are being eaten by a tiger—you don’t want to be consciously there for that—and now some of us are wondering if there is much more to what happens in this state.  In fact, Gabriel Kram (one of my main teachers of the ANS) thinks that there are at least 3 dorsalities, and how we get into our collapsed state determines what might help us to come back into our lives.  He suggests that the three entry ways into dorsal vagal are shock, burnout, and grief. I have had many experiences in my life that lead me to believe this is true, and as a yogi, I have explored practices that support each of these experiences back into connection a connected (Ventral Vagal state).

In this workshop, we’ll lay out the ideas and then enjoy practices that will enliven our bellies in gentle yet powerful and even fun ways.

Class will be in person (space is limited) and on livestream.  Recordings will also be available for those who can’t be there in person.

Reiki Reconnection and Re-Attunement

In this free online gathering, join Reiki Masters Marcia Miller, Linda Oshins, Luann Jacobs and others for a Reiki ritual to begin the new year. We will re-attune everyone who joins, so as individuals and as a group we can reconnect with Reiki energy and each other. Re-attunement is a powerful meditative experience. As we feel this connection to infinite loving energy we can joyfully rededicate and recommit ourselves to bringing light to the many challenges of the world. We need each other!

Anyone who has previously been attuned to Reiki from any lineage is welcome to join us. You need not be using Reiki regularly to join. As part of the ritual, we will invite you to create a personal sacred space or altar wherever you are. Consider what special items you want to have with you, possibly including rocks, crystals or plants, pictures of beloveds (some of whom might not be among the living), anything reminding you of your ancestors, candles, flowers, etc. Have a journal handy as well. We’ll end with a giant send to any and all people, situations that are near and dear to our hearts.

eMBER 6-week Series

to Aug 22

eMBER 6-week Series

  • Radiant Yoga + Wellness (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Whether you're looking to process a specific, personal life trauma, or integrate from the collective trauma of the past few years, this series offers a gentle and supportive space to heal.

Through gentle trauma-sensitive yoga, breath practices, meditation and journaling, eMBER lays the groundwork for learning healthy coping techniques while encouraging self acceptance and building community support.

At its core, eMBER’s aim is simple: to provide tools to help people feel at home and at ease in their bodies. During the 6-week series, the curriculum develops the foundations of resilience: the capacity to bounce back from difficulty by teaching students how to draw on inner reserves of calm, clarity, compassion, and courage.

eMBER classes are accessible, engaging, and empowering

How eMBER classes may be different than other classes on our schedule...

  • The teacher, Liz Baldridge, has many years experience and specialized training in trauma sensitive yoga practices.

  • The classes are designed to be predictable, and you will be told what's coming from the very beginning.

  • This class is for folx who identify as female.

  • As a rule, there will be no physical hands-on adjustments.

  • Attention will be paid to the types of props used and of the potential for feelings of vulnerability in certain yoga postures.

  • The teacher will continually offer options, allowing students to practice making empowered choices, opting in or out of any portion of the class at any time.

  • There will be take home materials to practice and explore what you've learned throughout the intervening weeks.

Have questions? Learn more here:  emberyoga.org or feel free to reach out

eMBER (Mindfulness Based Emotional Resilience) is a pathway to resilience that is backed by current research.

“Yoga allows survivors to regain a sense of comfort and ease within their own shape, to process nonverbally feelings that transcend language, and to experientially cultivate gratitude towards the body, which serve as a reminder of one’s resilience (Boeder, 2012).”

Because strong emotions may arise and be released during and after a somatic practice like yoga, we suggest that students have access to a psychologist, psychiatrist, or other mental health professional while on their healing journey.

Dates

July 11 through August 22 from 6p to 7:30p (Skip 8/1)

Thai Yoga Massage Partner Workshop
Aug

2:00 PM14:00

Thai Yoga Massage Partner Workshop

Spend a Saturday afternoon with your friend, partner or family member feeling relaxed and blissed out! Thai Yoga (or Nuad Boran) is a mix of yoga postures and gentle stretching with palming & thumbing techniques applied to energy lines and pressure points. It can help to relieve stress, muscular tension, and restore an energetic balance in the body.

In this workshop, Stella will guide you through a gentle and soothing sequence of assisted yoga stretches and compression poses. Using hands, elbows, knees and feet, you will work with a partner in both giving and receiving a Thai Yoga Massage.

The purpose of this workshop is for relaxation and it is not a training. Please wear loose clothing that you can move in (e.g., yoga clothes or lounge wear) and make sure you wear long pants because that will feel more comfortable during the massage.

Restorative + Thai Yoga Massage Experience

Restorative + Thai Yoga Massage Experience

Join us for this one of a kind melty mash-up class where our teachers will combine passive Restorative Yoga postures, Guided Meditation and Thai Yoga Massage to create the ultimate relaxation experience, just in time for the Holidays.

In this session participants will be guided into restorative postures by Liz while Stella and Amy move around the room giving special hands on attention to each person, working on areas of the body that hold the most tension.

The practice of Thai Yoga Massage is a hands on stretching release of muscles and fascia, marma point (acupressure, trigger point release), and sen line (energy line) work that unwinds tight muscles and opens energy pathways to restore health and wellbeing to both the physical body and energetic bodies. It is a practice where both giver and receiver benefit from metta or loving kindness.

Restorative Yoga is like a grown up pillow fort of comfort where we use pillows and blankets to support the body so it can relax completely.

In this training, you will receive the Level 2 attunement and learn how to incorporate your experience into an expanding Reiki practice. You will receive three Reiki symbols, their meaning and the applications. The symbols allow you to send healing across time and distance, and support the deepening of your relationship to Reiki. Together we will learn and practice techniques for distance healing, emotional healing and support the deepening of all aspects of your practice. We will also have conversations on the history of reiki, what it means to practice a traditional Japanese hands-on healing modality taking into account your cultural, ethnic and ancestral background.

Every practitioner’s attunement experience is unique, and yours will be as well. Attunements can elicit a wide range of personal experiences and felt-senses. Reiki is experienced based and shared from an embodied place.

Restorative + Thai Yoga Massage Experience

Join us for this one of a kind melty mash-up class where our teachers will combine passive Restorative Yoga postures, Guided Meditation and Thai Yoga Massage to create the ultimate relaxation experience, just in time for the Holidays.

In this session participants will be guided into restorative postures by Liz while Stella and Amy move around the room giving special hands on attention to each person, working on areas of the body that hold the most tension.

The practice of Thai Yoga Massage is a hands on stretching release of muscles and fascia, marma point (acupressure, trigger point release), and sen line (energy line) work that unwinds tight muscles and opens energy pathways to restore health and wellbeing to both the physical body and energetic bodies. It is a practice where both giver and receiver benefit from metta or loving kindness.

Restorative Yoga is like a grown up pillow fort of comfort where we use pillows and blankets to support the body so it can relax completely.

Reiki Level 1

to Apr 27

Reiki Level 1

  • Radiant Yoga + Wellness (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

In this training, you will be attuned by a Reiki Master so that Reiki connection is then available to you for the rest of your life. The focus of the Level 1 Attunement is to create connection with the Universal Life Force Energy. You will learn how to put language to your direct experiences of Reiki, often described as the ever-present universal loving life force energy here for all of us to access. We will have conversations to honor Reiki’s traditional Japanese lineage which includes learning the hands-on healing modality and techniques taught by Usui Sensei passed through initiation. You will deepen your relationship with Reiki energy healing through contemplations, experiments, support, and self-Reiki.

Every practitioner’s attunement experience is unique, and yours will be as well. Attunements can elicit a wide range of personal experiences and felt-senses. Reiki is experienced based and shared from an embodied place.

What to expect from the Level 1 Attunement session:

Reiki is primarily an experiential practice. In many classes and workshops, we anticipate that knowledge will be given to us by the teacher. While there is some knowledge to share, the heart of the session is your own experience. In addition to the four attunements, we will:

  • learn about Reiki history and lineage,

  • introduce foundations and philosophy,

  • explore the principles (precepts) of Reiki in the context of our 21st century experience,

  • discuss the 7-Chakra system (the basis for our attunements),

  • understand the importance of self-Reiki and the hand positions for treatment,

  • engage in energy play,

  • experience Reiki in community

Small Group Reiki Session

Group Reiki Healing Experience is meant to support you, and your well-being. With the world so full of uncertainty, stress, and fear, many of us might be feeling the weight of the collective energy, in addition to our own challenges and stresses of day-to-day life. Group Reiki is an opportunity to enter into sacred space, and receive some healing and restorative Reiki energy.

These one-hour sessions are perfect for anyone who would like to experience energy healing and mindfulness in a budget conscious way. Many have felt like they are being held in a gentle healing energy, stagnant energy clearing away, and/or see light and experience subtle sensations in their body.

Each session will begin with a short meditation, and then each person will receive a mini Reiki energy healing treatment. You can think of this as an energetic "tune-up".

Because it’s in a group setting, there isn’t much time to individually assess any imbalances that you may be experiencing at the current time and what’s driving it (which is typically done in a private session). However, if you know what’s going on, feel free to mention it to me at the start of the class so that I can concentrate your mini Reiki treatment in the respective areas.

A Tour of the Breath Muscles
Mar
9
to Mar 10

A Tour of the Breath Muscles

As yogis, or perhaps other kinds of somatic explorers, we know the immediacy of feeling into the body and experiencing first-hand how it works and why—not only its physical functioning but its energetic properties. In this workshop, we’ll do practices that let us feel into each of the major breathing muscles or muscle groups and end by watching them work synchronously in ourselves. In some ways this is a standard anatomy class—which muscles are used in breathing, where they are, what they look like, how their location and shape dictates their function—but it’s also, always experiential in nature. We’ll talk about optimal and dysfunctional breathing patterns and end up knowing how we ourselves breath, our own patterns. By workshop’s end, we will feel refreshed and energized by our experiences. This is the prerequisite for the longer course on therapeutic breathing. Everyone is invited to join this workshop: yoga teachers, yoga students and anyone else who is interested.

Linda Oshins has taught pranayama (yoga breathing practices) and therapeutic breathing practices for over 20 years. Breathing practices can lead to physical and emotional health as well as opening spiritual pathways into meditation and insight. This class is taught over Zoom and will be recorded.

Portals To Connection Part 3

Portals To Connection Part 3

A workshop on the Nervous System Through the Lens of Polyvagal Theory

In Part 1 we set a foundation for this exploration and covered about half of the portals to connection. Join us again as we continue our study and practice together. With the foundation set we can focus even more on the portals and the practices we can embody. There is so much more to share.

“You cannot heal beyond your ability to access connection.” Naturaleza Gabriel Kram

Healing depends on enough safety to allow integration of unresolved stress or traumas. In this workshop, we continue our exploration of the nervous system by focusing on improving access to connection through the social engagement (ventral vagal) system. What are the portals to connection? Hint, some are fairly universal and others may be personal to you. We’ll also explore strategies for staying in connection, even when faced with stress. Yoga practice is relevant for many of the portals and some of the practices will be outside of yoga.

This workshop is designed for anyone curious about their nervous system. While part of an ongoing series, it is also appropriate for someone new to this study.

In person and Livestream. Recordings will be available to all—sign up for livestream if you know you won’t be able to attend on the day.

The assumption for Parts 2 & 3 will be that you attended or have seen the recording of Portals to Connection, Part 1. This recording highlights the foundational ideas of what we did in Part 1. It runs about 50 minutes.

Reiki Reconnection and Re-Attunement

In this free online gathering, join Reiki Masters Marcia Miller, Linda Oshins, Luann Jacobs and others for a Reiki ritual to begin the new year. We will re-attune everyone who joins, so as individuals and as a group we can reconnect with Reiki energy and each other. Re-attunement is a powerful meditative experience. As we feel this connection to infinite loving energy we can joyfully rededicate and recommit ourselves to bringing light to the many challenges of the world. We need each other!

Anyone who has previously been attuned to Reiki from any lineage is welcome to join us. You need not be using Reiki regularly to join. As part of the ritual, we will invite you to create a personal sacred space or altar wherever you are. Consider what special items you want to have with you, possibly including rocks, crystals or plants, pictures of beloveds (some of whom might not be among the living), anything reminding you of your ancestors, candles, flowers, etc. Have a journal handy as well. We’ll end with a giant send to any and all people, situations that are near and dear to our hearts.

Clearing | Cacao | Intentions-Waitlisted

Are you ready to clear out 2023 and re-set for the New Year?

Stephanie Estice, ceremonialist, will be joined by Corinne Labita, energetic hygiene specialist. In this workshop Corinne will lead us through an energetic clearing process that you can use to clear yourself and the space around you. Following our clearing Stephanie will share the importance of honoring the tradition and energy of sacred cacao when communing with cacao as a personal heart-opening practice. The cacao that will be served comes from Guatemala and is tended to in the traditional way, cared for by Maya women, as cacao is a feminine sacred plant. Stephanie will share the energy of the Maya calendar so we can give thanks to how the energies support our intentions. We will then share cacao together and have an opportunity to set intentions for the shift into 2024.

Space is limited for this intimate group. Wear comfortable clothes. Consider arriving with an empty or light stomach, unless you have a sensitive stomach (in which case you may need to eat a bit more before having cacao).

Join us for this one of a kind melty mash-up class where our teachers will combine passive Restorative Yoga postures, Guided Meditation and Thai Yoga Massage to create the ultimate relaxation experience, just in time for the Holidays.

In this session participants will be guided into restorative postures by Liz while Stella and Amy move around the room giving special hands on attention to each person, working on areas of the body that hold the most tension.

The practice of Thai Yoga Massage is a hands on stretching release of muscles and fascia, marma point (acupressure, trigger point release), and sen line (energy line) work that unwinds tight muscles and opens energy pathways to restore health and wellbeing to both the physical body and energetic bodies. It is a practice where both giver and receiver benefit from metta or loving kindness.

Restorative Yoga is like a grown up pillow fort of comfort where we use pillows and blankets to support the body so it can relax completely.

Teachers

Liz Baldridge, Stella Cornett, and Amy Patterson
