Do you own a Crystal singing bowl or set of bowls you wish you knew more about? Would you like to learn technique, ideas about how the different tones work together, to practice with others and with a skilled instructor guiding you?

Join Rachel Rivera, a local sound healer, and learn how to play Crystal singing bowls, including how to use different mallets, play multiple bowls at once, and all about the intervals & harmonies you can create. 

This workshop also includes a sound bath from Rachel! Rachel’s voice is her primary instrument and she uses bowls and other instruments to accompany her intuitive singing.

Bring  one or more Crystal singing bowls and mallets to class 

To buy bowls that won’t break the bank, Rachel says try TOPFUND store on Amazon and get a set of 3 bowls

No experience is necessary

Begin where you are, All levels are welcome

This is the 3rd time we’ve offered this workshop and it’s extended by an additional 30 minutes for more practice and more sound bath time. You are welcome to take this more than once as you will progress and build on what you learned previously.

Looking forward to guiding you in this peaceful practice with Full Moon themes

The energy of spring brings a great opportunity for us to invite new beginnings.

In nature expansion is happening all the time. As humans, desire for expansion is inevitable. The question is, what do you really want? What will really make you happy? Are you expending your energy in ways that are supportive to what you would like to create? We tend to lean into external experiences and material things to create internal fulfillment, but what if we flipped that?

As we move into this time of rebirth happening all around us, we can use nature as a guide to examine how we can best use our own energy to create in the garden of our life.

Do you know what seeds you want to plant? (Are your intentions clear?)

Is the soil rocky or undernourished? (Are there mental blocks preventing growth?)

Do you have enough water in your can to provide for all the seeds? (Are you spreading yourself too thin?)

Are you getting enough sunlight? (How is your ability to receive?)

In the Vedic tradition there are many faces of this energy of abundance and nourishment, perhaps the most well known being Lakshmi. In this practice we will dive into this cosmic power that provides all we need and could ever hope for.

This practice will include:

a heart opening yoga sequence focusing on staying grounded while expanding

a simple Lakshmi mantra that you can use in your own daily practice

a guided meditation with sound bath

a manifestation ritual for spring intentions

time for journaling ~bring a notebook and writing tool of choice

$45 includes supplies for a group ritual

Note from Robin: Take these opportunities to advance your personal path and your yoga path with the most knowledgeable teacher of Mantra and Sanskrit practicing in this area. Sri's wisdom and ways are a total gift. If you are reading this, I highly recommend you take the leap! Sri has so much to offer and you can choose to continue studies or sessions with her in a variety of ways, individually or in classes. 

APRIL’S PINK MOON is for awakening & growing, and today we honor our body, our vessel, with hand on Reiki and a specially created herbal tea for revitalizing and expanding.

Rest in a reiki circle, and invite vitality and healing.. Supportive props such as eye pillows and bolsters will be provided. You are welcome to bring a crystal, blanket or special object if you like.

Reiki will be followed by a nourishing, seasonal tea, oracle card sharing and discussion. 

Our special floral tea blend is local to Portland & includes lavender, rose petals, jasmine flowers and lemongrass for uplifting, cleansing & renewing for spring & the cusp of Aries & Taurus season.

Other bag tea, such as mint and black tea, will be available if you have any sensitivities or concerns & the ingredients will be shared with the group.

Approximate schedule according to how things flow:

Reiki Circle 60 minutes

Tea & Oracle 60 minutes

Yin Yoga hydrates the connective tissues with attention to the joints and yin meridian paths of the body. Yin offers long held deep stretches with or without the use of props. Restorative Yoga gently opens the body with postures that are propped to give a sense of the earth rising to meet the body and props used to encourage the ultimate release and relief. 

Experience a mix of this and customize your postures to either stretch and lengthen or simply rest and restore without effort. Sound Bath will accompany & finish this session

March 16th ~ Robin guides Yin for the spring meridians & wood element. In the body this targets the side lines such as the IT Band of the outer leg and outer hip, the shoulder and sides of the neck and head, and the inner lines of the legs from the feet up to the pelvis.

This class is substituting for Yin for Men which usually runs on Saturday afternoons at 4 pm
