During our nine months together we will not only address these questions, we will learn and practice the techniques which best realign your body, mind and spirit.

Come prepared to “get down” to the core issues and strengths of each of your chakras and use the most effective Biospiritual energetic, yogic, sound, and inner reflective exercises to get you humming with harmony.  This healing group is based on the clinical expertise of Jim Morningstar, Ph.D. and wisdom of Anodea Judith, Ph.D. foremost authority on the chakra system and energy work.
