Sound Bath with Catherine Grytting
Friday, 1/11/2019 | 7:30-8:30 pm | $18 | at Little Dog Studio | Register
Tibetan Singing Bowls are made of seven metals that produce a rich, complex tone consisting of a specific, dominant pitch with multiple overtones. This unity of a single tone from the diversity of many metals creates great power that can be harnessed to soothe and heal your physical body, emotions, mind and spirit. The sound waves from the struck bowl penetrate the body and vibrate your various cells and organs. At the same time, the single tone brings all aspects of your physicality into harmonious alignment. Think of a rowing crew. The more synchronized their sculling, the greater the power produced with each stroke. A sound bath aligns the various aspects of your body, quiets the mind, calms the emotions and smoothes the energy field surrounding the body. Join Dr. Catherine Grytting for an hour of bathing in the cleansing, healing sounds of Tibetan Singing Bowls.
Space limited to 12, so reserve your spot now!

Autumn Equinox Retreat with Annie Stocker
Plan for 2019: September 20-22
I was less than enthusiastic when I remembered my wife and I had signed up to take a couples massage workshop. My attitude quickly changed during the workshop with Annie. The entire experience was informative, enjoyable and rejuvenating. Annie’s instruction was clear, and the techniques she demonstrated and taught immediately brought ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ as we practiced on one another. The time flew by. I left with more confidence in my ability to effectively massage my wife as well as a newly relaxed and energized body.
