1. INTENSIVE: Loving Your Watershed: Practicing The Art Of Gua Sha   beginning/intermediate
The lymphatic system plays a vital role in maintaining radiant health and is the main part of the body’s immune system. You can think of the lymph system as the rivers of your body that transport fluids, hormones and nutrients, chemicals and toxins through the lymph vessels to the body. It also ensures that excess fluids, proteins and toxins are drained out of the tissues. After flowing through the lymph vessels, lymphatic fluids go into lymph nodes. These nodes filter out and destroy microorganisms. Clogged lymph nodes result in weight gain, fat storage, toxins stored in fat cells, cellulite, dis-ease, exhaustion and cancer. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymph system has no pump; hence, keeping the lymph system flowing is one of the most important parts of self-care. The gua-sha is a daily tool that can be used to self-care your lymphatic system by stimulating the movement of fluids in the lymphatic system. It is characterized by a series of rhythmical massage movements that stimulate lymph circulation throughout the body, re-route lymph around blocked or damaged lymph node collection sites, to encourage flow in drainage areas, and to soften fibrotic tissue. As fluid is moved out of the affected limb, the susceptibility to bacterial infection and injury is reduced and an increase in functional abilities results. Toxins stored in fat cells are finally released and drain though the sub-clavian vein to return to the blood system and be filtered out by the liver and expelled. This class is designed to teach participants to understand how the lymphatic system works and how the daily use of a gua sha can lead to healthy lymphatic flow and greater well-being.

1. Magical Fashionista: An Offering of Incense and Flowers on the Divine Altar of You
Humans didn’t start wearing clothing for warmth, but rather for its magical properties: a belt could be protective, while an amulet might help with conception. Even today, fashion is beloved not just for its practicality, but for its ability to inspire, uplift, and to help us experience what we most want to experience and feel what we most want to feel. This unique workshop starts with the solid knowing that you are already beautiful beyond words. As a point in space where form meets spirit - a drop in an eternal ocean or a ray of an infinite sun - you are a divine altar. As such, fashion and self-care choices can be consciously employed as offerings of flowers and incense on the divine altar of you. Including powerful tips related to things like western and eastern astrology, Chinese face reading, feng shui, color therapy, and pattern symbolism, this fun class will help you know yourself as a rare and priceless work of art while providing both practical and metaphysical exercises to help you express your unique personal style. Regardless of your present relationship with the concept of "fashion," you’ll enjoy learning to honor your “certain something”: that edge, sparkle, and magnetic attractiveness that is your destiny and your truest, most authentic self.

2. The Magic of Flowers: Working with Our Blossoming Allies beginning/all levels
A flower is a manifestation of divine beauty and wisdom. And while each flower’s vibration is unique, what it expresses is universal: it’s available to all of us and is already a part of us. The magic of flowers, then, might be defined as the employment of a flower (or flowers) as a focal point for our intention, or as a window into our own divine aspect, in order to affect a desired positive change. While simply spending time with a flower can provide an infusion of nourishment and spiritual sustenance, the practice of working with blossoming allies can take many additional forms. This class will give you everything you need to begin communicating with (and downloading healing information and energy from) flowers, and will provide a number of tools and techniques that will help you establish a basic framework for your flower magic practice. Topics will include aromatherapy, flower essences, spending time with flowers and intuitively connecting with them, and more.
