Conscious Contact Offers Workshops | |

HEART CHAKRA WORKSHOP
Saturday, February 11
10 am – 3 pm
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, this is the perfect time for a day focused on Anahata, the heart chakra. The heart is the center of our capacity for self-love, compassion, and metta; love for others. During this workshop we will gently move in ways that support opening this treasure trove. Our time together will include guided meditation, Yin Yoga; a soothing and restorative practice done on the floor with the support of pillows, bolsters, and blankets; breathing techniques to calm and center. Our day will end with The Sacred Sounds of Donia. Through guidance and sounds she will take us on a journey to the heart center, unfurling the bud of the blossom that lives within you. The only requirement is that you can easily move to and from the floor.
Workshop is offered by Janice Olson, Founder, Conscious Contact LLC and Donia Smith, Owner, Bodysoundspirit, LMT and Reiki Master.
