Awaken The Dream: a 1-day workshop
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
January 20, 2007, 9:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. @ A New Day Yoga Studio, Plainville, MA
This one-day (co-ed) workshop will provide time for movement, writing, and sharing. Incorporating the principles of Life Coaching, participants follow a process to awaken their deepest desires and embody what they want to create in the world. Discover connections between movement and energy through dance, exercises in visualization and goal setting, and opening the body's energy centers, or chakras, with music as impulse. Gain insight and wisdom, and learn how to access the voice within.
