Expressive Arts (Therapeutic Sessions for Individuals and Groups)
Explore the arts and expand self-awareness through a artful discovery process! Sessions may combine several art-making forms, or concentrate on a single art form, depending on individual(s) experience and preference. Quite often it is fun to explore an area that is new and welcome the surprise! Art forms utilized may include poetry, movement, collage, clay sculpture, painting, music, sound, voicework & breath, photography, journaling, and marbleing, etc. Sessions may build around a theme at times to connect to an idea or mood, such as, the Seasons, the Four Elements or tragedy/comedy. Individual sessions are age appropriate; groups activities are planned accordingly to appeal to the majority.
Kripalu DansKinetics
DansKinetics is a joyful, energetic and therapeutic way to move and freely dance. Based on yoga principles, movement and music are coordinated to stimulate energy flow through the entire body. You do not have to be a "dancer" to enjoy DansKinetics, and the playful interaction builds community esprit! Participants are encouraged to adapt their movement to their comfort and safety level. Class begins with a grounding percussive warm-up, shifts into a slightly increased pace concentrating on the hips and pelvic area, heats up as we move into the mid-section and faster more aerobic group activity, and then gradually transitions into a reflective cool down. Most people prefer to dance in their stocking feet or light slippers. Street shoes are not permitted in some locations. Physical ability required: You should be capable of taking a brisk walk.

Reiki Energy Healing
Reiki is a healing technique which taps into the universal energy all around us to bring balance to an individual's energy field. The word Reiki means "divinely guided energy" and so the help of God/Spirit/Higher Power is invoked to guide the energy to where it will do the highest good and to bring about the return to greater wholeness. How it is done: The recipient lies fully clothed on a massage table and the Reiki practitioner places her hands gently on the individual in a series of positions, holding them in place for a few minutes before moving on. The sensations that may be felt are those of warmth, tingling, relaxation, or a feeling of mental clarity, calmness, and well-being.
