Bone Toning: Crystal bowls, Toning & Bone Breathing Qigong
with Minke de Vos & Theda Phoenix Saturday, Jan. 23, 7:30 - 9:30 pm
The Bones are transpersonal instruments for channelling the energy of the earth and the heavens. They are like quartz crystals in radios that tune into celestial sound. When we consciously breathe in sound we can release trauma held in our structure and allow harmonious sound to vibrate into the core of our being.
* Penetrate chi into your bones to build internal power and rooting.
* Empower your Yoga postures with whole body breathing and heightened awareness.
* Release your personal knots with Unwinding, spontaneous movement. Surrender to the wisdom of your spirit.

Song of the Goddess
with Minke de Vos & Theda Phoenix Sunday, Jan. 24, 12 - 4:30 pm
Connect your creative voice with your sexual energy
The ancient Taoists called the breasts "Bells of Love" and cauldrons for cultivating compassion. We will use healing sounds to release emotional stress held in our body. When we sing to our breasts we open our hearts to our inner song of beauty and love.
Our Yoni (uterus and vagina) "sings" a song of creation. Our sexual energy is encoded with the wisdom of our primordial blueprint.
We will tone and sing from this palace of internal power to liberate fear and grow joy and rejuvenating vitality.
* In this workshop you will be initiated into the sacred art of female sexual energy practices.
* Cultivate your rejuvenating, creative sexual energy with Taoist Meditation and Sensual Qigong.
* Breast Self-Massage and Jade Egg exercises will strengthen you internally, balance hormones and bring out your unique beautiful radiance.
* Beneficial for woment at all stages of their lives, including practices for easing menstruation and menopause.
Bring: yoga mat, cushion. sarong or skirt, light blanket, and a jade egg (for sale at workshop for $40) One can also try out the exercises using an imaginary jade egg.
