Authentic movement is a simple, yet profound form of embodied meditation, body mind therapy, and a vehicle for opening to one’s creative self. Come for refreshment, revelation, rest and recuperation. This is unprogrammed time, moving moment-to-moment, with eyes closed, listening deeply to the body’s impulses to move or be still.

Afterwards, movers may draw, write or speak to integrate their experience.

Drum Making

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:30:14 -0400

Instructor Cynthia

4 hour session available from 9 am - 1 pm

Minimum # of participants: 4 / Maximum # of participants: 6

"The drum, it is the heartbeat of our Mother Earth. If you feel disconnected and unbalanced, try playing a drum. By drumming you will automatically start moving the energy inside your body, you'll feel the heartbeat, it will create a rhythm to match your own heart. Close your eyes, become one with your drum, feel the tension relax in your shoulders and throughout your entire body, allow the energy to become unblocked inside your body. This is why I play the drum.

To make your own personal drum, prepare to become even more aware of things Mother Earth provides for you to do this. The gourds are grown and dried. This process takes almost a year. Each a unique shape and size, not unlike ourselves. While preparing the gourd for it's goat skin hide, the outside and inside must be cleaned so all the energy can flow easily and clearly through your drum. A goat hide is placed on the top and bottom of the gourd, creating two different sounds, one lower than the other. You may prefer one sound to the other depending on your mood.

After the wet hide is stretched on the gourd frame, it must dry 24 hours before you get to play your drum. It will create a flat sound if you drum before it is totally dry. After it is dry, you can decorate the hide, although I prefer them natural.

Decorations on the gourd could be as simple as some beads and/or feathers. We will discuss the possibilities during class time. A beater will also be created by you after your drum is finished.

We will take time to talk and share what we know about the drum and how it makes us feel. I have several drums in the studio for you to try. You will be amazed at how drumming will magnify your connection with the earth. A good drumming session will help you understand and feel the healing and relaxation that comes when you drum.

Gourds have been a big part of my artistic life in the last ten years. For thousands of years, people all over the world, have used gourds as instruments, storage containers, bowls/cups and dippers. It is amazing how much you can create with something so simple and grown from the earth."

Tarot Readings

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:30:14 -0400

Brian Katchmer ~ Tarot Reader

Divination, such as by use of the tarot, is the art of discerning the answers to questions about a person’s life, future, and circumstances by means of tools such as special cards, symbols, or coins. Your questions can be on any topic, but the more emotional stake a questioner has about a given topic the more accurate the reading will be. While I am confident in the predictive power of divination, I also insist to my clients that the process only reveals the most likely outcomes of a given situation, and that the free will of the client is capable of altering such outcomes when informed.

Through divination, I am able to advise a client on virtually any life question they are comfortable asking about.

Autumn Mindfulness - A Mini Yoga Retreat

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:30:14 -0400

Autumn is a time of turning inward and taking stock as we prepare for winter. As we move away from the busy summer season, treat yourself to an afternoon of gentle yoga, quiet restoration and reflection. Learn self massage and breath awareness practices that will take you smoothly into the holiday season. Come alone or with friends. Herbal tea, healthy snacks and conversation will conclude our time together. No yoga experience necessary, simply a desire to take care of yourself.

Dress comfortably in layers that move with your body. Bring a yoga mat, bath towel and throw pillow or meditation cushion.

When: Saturday September 18th, 4:15-6:15 at the YSAC Space.

Price: $40.00 per person

Carmen Milano, RYT will be your guide. Though Carmen’s initial taste of yoga came in her early 20’s, it was as she approached the age of 50 that she was drawn to daily practice and exploration. In the ten years since, she has found the path of yoga to have endless possibilities, with questions and answers applicable to life on every level. The rewards of her personal practice lead Carmen to begin teaching yoga in 2005. In addition to teaching weekly classes Carmen offers workshops, private/semi-private sessions and annual women's retreats in Yellow Springs. In class, as well as in her practice, she focuses on gentle movement of the body with emphasis on inner exploration, seasonal changes, gentle relaxation and posture flows.

Todd Frantz, Certified Reflexologist

Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses primarily on the feet. Most reflexologists believe that the entire body is mirrored on the feet through a system of reflexes. Reflexology is the application of pressure to these reflex areas. If certain reflex points are tender, it may indicate some type of stress in the body. Because most people find a reflexology session to be deeply relaxing, this relaxation may help the body balance any stress it's experiencing.

Price: $60.00 per session

Reiki Session

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:30:14 -0400

Various practitioners

Reiki ("RAY-kee") is a Japanese word representing Universal Life Energy. Reiki is based on the belief that when spiritual energy is channeled through a Reiki practitioner, the patient's spirit is healed, which in turn heals the physical body. This is based in the belief that all matter is comprised of energy, including the human body. The practitioner places his/her hands on the patient, who lies on a table, wearing comfortable clothing. If the patient does not wish to be touched, the practitioner can hover their hands above the body.

Those interested in learning how to "pull" a drum can work with Carolion, doing ceremony at the beginning of the process, meditating with the spirit of the drum to find its name, and singing-it-in as the drum is laced to the hoop. This is a care-intensive activity. Carolion will work with only one or two drum-makers at a time only. Since the drums must dry for twenty-four hours after being pulled, Carolion will give instructions for care and feeding of the new drum at the end of the class.

Carolion apprenticed as a hoop-drum maker at Cedar Mountain Drums in Portland, Oregon in 1997, and drum-making is one of the loves of her life. Students can order drum kits here, or at another supplier of their choice.

Minimum Donation: $25.00 per student

Cost of the drum kit can vary from $50.00-$115.00

The skins of the drums have to be soaked for several hours before the drums are "pulled." Carolion will do the soaking. Students need to arrive in Yellow Springs with their drum kits, the day before the class. Carolion will pick them up to soak that night, and bring them to class the next day.

Carolion has taught dreamwork classes for spiritual growth groups in Oregon, Texas, Ohio, and New York, where she was a full-season staff programs teacher at Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in Rhinebeck, NY.

Hoop Dance

Take a workshop in the modern art of hoop dance and fitness.

Hooping did not just start in the 70's in the United States. Hooping has been around since ancient times. We find hoops in Egypt and Rome. Native Americans have a beautiful form of hoop dancing. Good for the body, mind, and soul, it's no wonder why hooping has been around for so long. Our modern day hoops are colorful, bigger and heavier guaranteeing that everyone can hoop, whether you could do it with those old hoops or not. Benefits of hooping include fitness, muscle toning, cardiovascular conditioning, lymphatic and digestive massage, right and left body coordination, mental focus, and emotional balance. Hooping is a dance, a meditation, and above all it's FUN! Where else can you get all this in one hour?! Hoops will be made available to use or to purchase. Call ahead to order your own custom made hoops.

Fee: $25.00
