Chakra Meditation/Nicole

Rev. Nicole Asprocolas, C.Ht, ATP has been facilitating guided chakra meditations with her 9 singing crystal bowls for 5 years. She has a private practice in Portland which she has coined Hypno-Chakra Therapy. Her guided group chakra meditations with the bowls are similar to her private practice, although you get to experience it at a fraction of the cost. The idea is to integrate healing positive suggestions within each of the chakras, thereby aligning and balancing your body, mind, and spirit to achieve, at the very least, greater peace and harmony in your daily life. To find about more information about Nicole, her practice, and the bowls, visit www.trinitihealing.com

$15 pre-reg/payment 7 days prior, $20 afterward.

Offered every 3rd month on a Fri night

Community Acupuncture/Joseph

The goal is to make acupuncture more affordable and accessible by offering it in a communal setting for a sliding scale ranging within $15- 35 a treatment. The idea to combine Yoga and Acupuncture together is to enhance the effects of both practices. By integrating the mind and body we enable our bodies a greater healing potential. Acupuncture assists us by in tapping into our energy reserves, increase our energy flow as well as promoting sense of well being. Our bodies do the rest.

 

Joseph Goldfedder, L.Ac., completed his Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine from Southwest Acupuncture College in New Mexico. He is board certified in both acupuncture and Chinese herbology by the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and by the state of Oregon. He initially moved to Portland to co-found Brooklyn Community Acupuncture. In his practice he believes in the integration of art and medicine, creativity and spirit.

$15-$35 sliding scale.

Typically offered once a month on Sunday after the 10 am class.

 

Community Breathe!/Margaret

A breathwork event lead by Margaret Townsend....
Bringing our breath back to our lives means we have the ability to live with more energy, to calm and balance the nervous system in the moment, to have a health promoting, stress relieving ‘tool’, and to know that our breath is a comforting companion that allows us to willingly meet whatever life brings to us.

Margaret is a certified breathing facilitator with over 20 years experience using various holistic practices to assist others in stress management and self-awareness. Please see her website The Living Breath for more information.

Ecstatic Body Postures/Analouise

Dr Felicitas Goodman, anthropologist, found that holding a posture represented by figurines and statues found in archaeological sites from hunters and gathers and horticulturists worldwide, is a method for achieving ecstatic trance and its attendant visionary experience.

Dr Goodman introduced Dr Analouise Williams to this ancient mystical tradition. Dr Williams, a practicing shamanic practitioner, teacher, and researcher, has studied from other gifted shamanic teachers. However, when she offers the ecstatic body postures, people experience a different -- and often profound -- mystical experience.

No previous shamanic journey experience is required. Please wear comfortable clothes, and bring a rattle or drum (optional).

Offered occasionally on Sun 4-6 pm

Yin Yoga + Sound Healing/Jay, Tom & Jen

An evening of total relaxation and healing resonance... Tom and Jen will bring their orchestra of healing chimes, singing bowls, and didgeridoos and play while we ease into an hour and a half of Yin Yoga followed by an hour-long sound healing in savasana. You are invited to relax and to let the vibrations of the sound waves ease into your body and find their own way to the spots that need it the most.

Yin yoga is a totally restorative form of yoga in which you stay in supported seated or supine poses for a few minutes at a time while all of your body-mind's holding patterns melt away. It's perfect for people who are new to yoga and the perfect balance for yang-centered practices.

$25 pre-registration/payment 7 days prior to event, $30 afterward.
Offered every other month or so on the last Fri 7:15-9:45 pm.

"I've been having chronic back pain for a few months--having the time to be with my body in a healing way for a few hours was the best thing that I have done for my body in a long time. My back feels great!"

"My spirit just started soaring in the middle of the sound healing--and it is still soaring!"
