Perspectives
A series of workshops with Barbara Joseph

Breath Taking:
Saturday February 26, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM $60.00

“Breath calms and reinvigorates, heals and soothes, connects you with your inner spirit and yet is deeply physical.” It is the most fundamental aspect of life. This workshop will demonstrate how you can reduce stress, pain and anxiety, and experience pleasure, peace and joy with every breath you take.

Voice & Sound:
Saturday March 19, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM $60.00

“Voice and sound are potent tools for restoring the inner balance of the body and awakening the spirit.” By using our voice to produce sound, the ancient art of toning, we relax muscles, relieve tension, calm nerves, resolve emotions, and re-align our precious selves. Free your voice and enjoy the rewards. Simple instruments are welcome.

Cranial-Sacral:
Saturday April 16, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM $60.00

Utilizing a subtle touch to sense and relieve tensions and restrictions that have ac-cumulated in the tissues and fluid that surround the brain and spinal cord. Introducing the general history, concepts, and hands-on protocols. This class does not certify one to be or advertise as a CS practitioner. Use of tuning forks will also be explored.

Reiki Level I:
Saturday April 30, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM $150.00

“Reiki feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that has many benefits.” This ancient Tibetan healing technique of non-invasive touch is calming and centering. Pain, stress and anxiety may be relieved while relaxation and healing are promoted.

Eating Matters:
Saturday May 21, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM $60.00

Nutrition is quite simply the process of nourishing oneself. Currently we are experiencing a nationwide decline in general health. Eating has become a complicated and confusing affair with an infinite array of diet options. Knowledge of vital foods and food combining, pH balance, cleansing, eating tempos and rhythms allows one to make conscious and creative choices that promote health and longevity. Naturally occurring benefits include, feeling better, looking younger, having more energy, and the all time favorite weight loss.
