This class is designed for the first-time student, or those with some belly dance experience who are interested in returning to the dance. Habiba will guide you through technique essential to the dance. Glide across the floor with elegance as you frame your body with beautiful hand and arm movements; learn shimmies both soft and powerful; hypnotic movements of the hips such as figure eights, and undulations. Set to the exciting rhythms of North Africa and the Middle East, students will learn a fun choreography incorporating these techniques. Belly dancing is a great low-impact workout, suitable for all sizes and ages. Classes are uplifting and fun!
Full moons offer an opportunity to let go of what we no longer need and circles are spaces to listen to our heart’s song in a beloved community. After we cast a sacred circle, move, meditate and let go, Charlie Adinolfi will bless us with a beautiful sound bath to help make space for new moon wonders.
Mati opens the doors at 6:30 for food & fellowship.
Circle starts 7pm.
Bring your best gal pal and experience a unique blend of creativity, movement, and relaxation in this fun-filled workshop.

No yoga experience is needed. Bring a friend or make a friend!
Usui Reiki Level 2 – Practitioner (2 days)
Prerequisite: Students who have successfully completed Usui Reiki
Level 1
If you have been attuned and certified in Usui Reiki Level 1, you
are invited
to continue the journey onto Level 2. The Usui system of Reiki is
the most
effective way to transfer Universal Life Energy. Having been
"attuned" to
Reiki (in Level 1), this course is for those ready to deepen their
healing
abilities for the Self and others.
In this course, you will receive three healing symbols that will do
the
following: strengthen the effects of Reiki for you and bring
protection to
others; bring your mental and emotional healing to a deeper level;
allow
Reiki to travel over time and space so you can send Reiki to
people,
places, and situations from a distance.
In Level 2, you also learn how to create sacred Reiki space, so
that
wherever you go, you and your partners are protected. Students will
learn
Healing chair sessions and practice giving them to each other.
Finally, you
will receive your Level 2 Reiki attunement. Upon your
successful
completion of Level 2, you will be certified as Usui Reiki
Practitioner.
