Mindfulness- A moment to Renew and to Recharge

While minds were made to think, sometimes our wandering minds can drive us far away from the present moment.  By practicing mindfulness, we can bring our awareness back to the present, offering an opportunity to reenergize and achieve greater clarity and intention. Leverage agile frameworks to provide a robust synopsis for high level overviews. 

Online via Zoom.

Singing Bowls to Relax the Mind

Singing bowl session to relax your mind and body.  The sound waves from the bowl act on the energy field of your body and cause you to relax. It’s not the sound from the singing bowls but the vibrations that lead to its effects.
