A half-day workshop closely following two Awareness Through Movement lessons from Moshe Feldenkrais’ classic Esalen workshop of 1972.

Online Yoga & Meditation classes with Tess Healy, from A Yoga Seed Check in with Tess for online options.
REIKI courses being offered from March 2021 onwards with Deborah Dalziel of Melbourne Reiki Centre. See details below.
Reiki is a gentle, effective energy healing method, which treats the whole individual, not just the symptoms of a Dis-Ease. With Reiki the practitioner acts as a conduit for the healing energy of the universe to flow through his/her hands to the individual or animal, causing a shift toward health at the deepest levels. It restores balance and harmony to a person or animal’s entire being: physical, mental, emotional, and/or spiritual. Reiki can also be used to accelerate personal growth and healing and as importantly can be a practise for maintaining wellness.
The beauty of Reiki as a healing system is that it is simple, non-invasive, and stress-free, yet highly effective. All courses will be run in a Covid-safe manner as per Government Guidelines. If you are read to self heal then come join us.

Shoden - Reiki Level 1 Courses 2021 - See website for details
