Greg Carpenter will be back in the Parish House with his
Tibetan Bowls. Many of you experienced his workshop in July and were amazed,
relaxed, and realigned. Greg writes on his web site: The Healing Power of
Tibetan Bowls... Oncologist
Mitchell L. Gaynor in his book “The
Healing Power of Sound” writes, “…the singing bowls act as a medium in which our inner chaos and conflict
can be reconfigured into harmonious calm centeredness that resonates through
every cell of our body and mind. These remarkable vessels, as beautiful to
behold as they are to hear, have become an integral and essential part of the
sound-based guided imagery and meditation techniques that my patients and I use
to resolve negatively charged emotions.”
Mark your calendars for July 19 and August 16th from 7-9 PM and join us for this amazing
healing experience. A massage for body, mind,& spirit Dance Lessons
