If you want to untie a knot, you must look at the cord carefully then gently undo the tangle. Yanking on the cord will only make the knot tighter. - Thomas Hanna
Many of us believe that living with chronic pain is an inevitable by-product of past injuries, repetitive work and sports activities. We tend to believe that even aging itself causes us to become stiff and achy. Hanna Somatic Education (HSE) is a neuromuscular re-education of the body and nervous system that can relieve chronic pain and enhance performance by restoring posture. By retraining movement patterns, HSE helps alleviate painful musculoskeletal conditions and prevents recurring injuries. Hanna Somatic exercises are easy to learn and are immediately effective. In this 4 week workshop you will receive 8 hours of instruction, an understanding of your habitual postural patterns and how to release them. The workshop is held 4 Tuesdays in May giving each participant the ability to practice what they have learned each week and receive feed back the following week.

Smudging, whether with sage or other herbs is an ancient ceremony passed down through oral tradition through generations. It has been practiced by Indigenous people for thousands of years. Recently it has become misappropriated in American society. The intention of this workshop is to offer the opportunity to receive the smudging teaching through oral tradition so others can carry this sacred medicine authentically.
