July 20 th, 2015 – 6:30 – 9 PM – $25 Advance/ $30 at door
Feeling out of balance?
Want to improve your health and/or constitution?
This class is for you….
Ayurveda “The science of life,” has its roots in India and dates over 5,000 years. This ancient art of healing can bring forth positive transformation in one’s life. According to Ayurveda each of us is made up of our own unique constitution or doshas, known as Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
In this class we’ll explore the concept of the Doshas and the qualities they represent such as Hot, Cold, Rough, and Damp as symptoms within our body and mind. We’ll view the body as a map to understand what is happening on the inside by witnessing external reactions.
As you move through life, the three doshas constantly fluctuate according to your environment, diet, season, climate, age, and many other factors. As the doshas move into and out of balance, they can affect your health, energy level, and general mood. You’ll learn which elements are out of balance and how to incorporate the tools of diet, lifestyle, essential oils, colors, and herbs into your life for prevention, longevity, healthy body, mind, and digestion.
Nickole enjoys sharing her love of Ayurveda in a way that is applicable to everyday life. She looks forward to assisting you with your health and wellness.

Singing Bowls and Sound Healing: Clearing a new path
Presented by Jeff Winter and Eileen Dey
January 21, 2015 – 7-8:30PM – $25
Singing bowls have been used for centuries in Asian Cultures. Are you curious about them? Learn about singing bowl history, what singing bowls are made of, how to play them, and how to understand the multiple sounds (and equivalent Western musical notes) bowls make. Musical notes and tones correlate to chakras, planets, and metals, which makes using their energies ideal for healing and esoteric work. Bring your own bowl, if you have one. Through tonal healing, use your own voice to unblock and release obstacles. Spend time on each chakra to gain greater depth and understanding for a clearer path ahead. Jeff Winter is an Advanced Reiki Practitioner and Sound Healer with the Reiki Fellowship and Training Program. He has been studying and incorporating singing bowls into his practice for over five years. Eileen Dey is the founder of the Reiki Training Program, involved with the Sound Healers of Washington and holds monthly Reiki Soundscapes for greater awareness of the interconnectedness of energy and healing sound.
