NEW FOR 2010! 

SUMMER CAMPS WITH A DIFFERENCE FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES! 

The mystical world of crystals and energy is the focus of these workshops. Designed to open the doors to exploring why crystals are so attractive, what do they do, how to care for them and choose them. We'll examine our personal energy system through the Chakras, gateways that are our 'software' for interpreting our experiences in life. With this basic understanding of a few tools, we spend the next day learning about our own energy field and how to control and maintain it through Shoden Komyo Reiki. Full information here.

Two day camps for Ages 6 - 17 to explore the world of crystals, chakras and Komyo Reiki. Three day camps for adults. We'll still delve into crystals and chakras, but the Komyo Reiki is a full Shoden two day course.

 

Tuesday Tarot Card Readings 

What do you need to know? Ask the tarot cards. Tuesdays at The Dojo, visit Micaela and ask your question of the Mother Peace deck. Micaela has been reading and studying the tarot for over 20 years and combines her passion for this art with individual astrological elements from both the Eastern and Western traditions. More info about Micaela and her readings here.

Reiki

Komyo Reiki is a Japanese system of healing that assists you in returning to your natural state of balance and harmony. Through one hour sessions at The Dojo, we’ll assist you in bringing a deeper level of peace into your world.

In Shoden (1st Degree) Komyo Japanese Usui Reiki, begin to heal yourself. In Chuden (2nd Degree - Practitioner), allow the energy of Reiki to assist others in their healing and increase your inner connection. At Okuden (Master/3rd Degree) for those who seek the path to satori (enlightenment). Through Shinpiden (Teacher) Level, you offer this training to others as you live your life through an elightened perspective.

Meditation

Do any of these words sound familiar? “I can’t meditate. I go too fast. My mind won’t stop working. I can’t sit still.” Serenity is our natural state of being, we have simply forgotten it. There’s No Way I Can Meditate…The Class offers simple, ancient breathing techniques to open the door to meditation and the pathway to Satori.

At weekly Meditation Circles, Robert’s soft tones will guide us through a visualization designed to create a conscious connection to our inner being. Three times a week. Make sure you check the calendar.
