By the end, you'll have everything you need to enjoy a night of social dancing out on the town with confidence. This class is rooted in the Country Nomad style out of Tucson, AZ.

Crystal Sound Bowl Meditation with Hanna Austin
Sunday November 8
6:30 pm
Crystal Sound Bowls offer a therapeutic form of meditation. All that is required to participate in this is finding a comfortable position to allow your body to relax. The bowls create healing frequencies that move through the body and re-calibrate on a cellular level. Each bowl correlates to a different chakra. Participants often are carried to a dream-like state and leave the room feeling full body residence.

Reiki Healing Circle with Hanna Austin
Sunday November 15
6:30 pm
This unique offering is a time to gather in community for the highest good. No experience is necessary. After a brief introduction and description of Reiki, universal Lifeforce healing energy there will be a time to share intentions. Reiki can be sent to something as small as a sore thumb or as big as world Peace. Everyone present will hold the intention for the highest healing and Good as we share and send our energies during this 20 minute meditation. Once we complete our meditation, the energies will be sent on their way out into the world. This can be a very powerful practice, especially for situations that can feel out of our control. Heaviness becomes much lighter when shared. If you are ready to answer this call, then you are meant to be there and your energies are needed.
