Mandalas Rock! ~the cultural significance of the mandala ~Learn to surrender to the creative process of creating a miniature rock mandala. Explore color possibilities, design, and allow mistakes to be part of the process. ~Linda Wilson

Sound Immersion ~ Complete your day with a full ensemble of sound. Double the signing bowls as Lora Roeser & Katie Carp play multiple sets of singing bowls, gongs, chimes, & Native American flutes.  

Katie Carp (RYT 500)~ Katie started practicing Hatha Vinyasa yoga, after she was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in 2011.   Katie walked into her very first yoga class and learned that for one hour and fifteen minutes she could stop fighting herself.  Her yoga mat became a place where it was ok to forget the struggles and to just be.  She started teaching yoga to create a space where people could experience this feeling.  A moment in time to feel Strength, Confidence and Serenity just as they are. Sound has been an important part of her journey, she incorporates singing bowls into her classes.  The notes of a singing bowl linger in the air long after the bowl is played.  The soothing vibrations allow for a deeper meditative experience. 

Janet Dillon ~Janet is a retired RN who discovered an interest in energy healing while a student nurse. 50 years later she combines training in many healing modalities, including Reiki, Healing Touch, Sacred Essences and oils,  Crystals, Hypnotherapy and more, to create an experience which supports each person’s healing process.

Linda Wilson ~Linda is a retired RN, art educator, 200 hr YT, and reiki master. I enjoy all things yoga, and revel in nature and art. 

Lora Roeser ~Lora is a believer in the healing and restorative powers of both body and mind through such holistic practices as use of all naturally sourced essential oils and the powerful beauty of sound. She is skilled at playing an array of quartz crystal singing bowls as part of a sonic immersion in elegant, healing sound. Through use of the natural frequency properties of the bowls, Lora produces harmonious vibrations that soothe both body and mind. Her background and expertise as an essential oil representative with DoTERRA allows Lora to use and combine premium grade essential oil aromatherapy and touch therapy as part of a fully immersive, holistic sensory experience. Skilled and trained in the resurgent lost art of holistic healing through essential oils, Lora’s extensive collection of essential oils not only delight the olfactory senses, but each contains a myriad of holistic healing and health properties when administered and used as directed topically, aromatically, or internally. An indulgent delight to the ears, nose and whole body, the full immersion in the combination of singing bowls and professionally paired essential oils are sure to sooth, restore and energize the body, mind and spirit.

Aries Weisenberger ~Aries enjoys mixing up fun coffee drinks. She will be our barista for the morning and assist where needed throughout the day.
