Life sometimes feels out of control.
But there is always one step you can take towards balance—and it starts with connecting mind and body.
Challenging or destabilizing events often cause us to react with fear or hopelessness. But they could also remind us that we need a new way to relate to life.
Breema and the Nine Principles of Harmony offers a new approach to life, enabling us to to move from insecurity towards stability, from confusion towards clarity. We can experience that everything and everyone actually supports us. Each one of these weekend classes presents new and unique material. We'll use the bodywork exchanges and exercises to get a first-hand taste of the Nine Principles of Harmony, and explore their use in gaining greater self-understanding, and in finding a new, more fulfilling relationship to life.
You can participate in the entire weekend, or attend just one or more of the four workshops. Pre-registration is recommended. Call or email the Breema Center for more information.
CE is available for massage therapists and bodyworkers, nurses, LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs, and LEPs. $10 fee for processing .
