Body Image and Intimacy
One-Day Program

This one-day program for women focuses on intimacy and body image issues, and empowers us to create more sacred and loving relationships with our own bodies and in our life. We gather together as a circle of women, creating a safe and supportive environment to explore and discover ways of celebrating and honoring the divine feminine in us all. Through ancient myth, self-exploration, creativity, and gentle yoga, we support each other in revealing our hearts to ourselves. We share dinner and end the evening by participating in earth-based ritual, letting go of limiting beliefs and creating more room for the sacred feminine to emerge in all of us.

Laughter: Your Inner Pharmacy
One-Day Program

Laughter is a universal language. It reduces stress, increases immune cell function, massages your insides and calls people back to a core experience that we have all had before: laughing for no reason. Medical evidence shows that humor and laughter are powerful disease and stress fighting tools that are greatly under utilized in our society. The LAUGHTER: “Your Inner Pharmacy” program is designed to awaken you to the concepts of laughter and humor as “the best medicine.” What makes laughter and humor so great is it is free, anyone can do it and it won’t interact with other medications. No dry mouth, no weight gain, no ill side effects. Patti will lead you on a journey of exploration into your “Inner Spirit of Laughter.”

9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
$40.00 includes materials and lunch.
