DESCRIPTION:
This workshop presents an in depth view of the 7 chakra energy centers in the body, coupled with experiential activities. It will reveal their importance in the healing of not only the body, but of the mind and spirit. This information is important to the person working with others as it brings together and adds a greater depth of understanding to the importance of an open chakra system to our mental, physical, and spiritual health. Many will be interested in this workshop for their own growth, as well. We will experience the chakras through many lenses and experiential activities such as sound (toning), guided imagery and visualization, drawing, and poetry. Each chakra is associated to a part of the body, a color, energy, archetype, and emotions. A power point presentation of mandalas reflecting the chakra energies as seen in Joan Kellogg’s theory of the Stages in the Great Round of the Mandala will be shown.
