Mandala of the Enlightened Feminine with Ellen “Yeshe”

In this workshop … through color, light, sound and visualization… we will explore how our human emotions are the very seeds for our own transformation and enlightenment.

The mandala of the Five Wisdom Dakinis creates a sacred geography within the psyche leading toward the realization of the innate perfection of the world. The mandala is a blueprint for sacred reality on every level. Ritually, aesthetically, and symbolically it expresses the inherent purity of all existence, and embodiment as a path to liberation. Through the mandala, the psyche is provided with a container and structure for transformation and architecture of enlightened experience.  Ellen Booth Church is a Vajrayana Buddhist practitioner and authorized teacher with Tara Mandala for over 30 years.   Contact Li-Lan to request teachings with Ellen.

Philosophy of Massage: Flowing with the Elements 20 CE LMBT

A fundamental class in integrating all that we learn from personal experience and CE classes as massage therapists into a cohesive model to use that can be applied practically and enhance our intuition. Using the core elements of Fire, Water, Air and Earth, students will organize a better flow to enhance the massage experience. A deep dive into the underlying principles and frameworks that support a successful career and practice as a LMBT.

Philosophy of Massage offers a framework for a more intuitive way of working. Integrate all that you’ve learned on a foundational model that feels good for you and the client. In our profession with all our required CEs we can become overloaded with techniques and methods and massage styles with little time/space to reflect and piece together. Problem of lack of Flow during massage sessions, which is markedly different than a routine.

The Power of Initiation-What is missing from the West, what is missing from our Education and upbringing-to bring us into Full Alignment of who we are. In working with the elements in a personal way, we “initiate” a relationship with them which we can deepen over time.

In this class, you will learn how to:

  • Describe and Contrast the Philosophies of the Elemental Systems of China, Greece, Tibet, and Japan
  • Perform Breath-work and movement exercises to activate Elemental Energies
  • Analyze Clients through the lenses of Elemental theories to create more effective treatment plans and a balanced approach
  • Discuss how these Elemental Archetypes show up in your life, and reflect on which energies are your strength / growth areas\
  • Demonstrate a synthesis of elemental theories on a sample client

Virtual Elemental Playshop Segment from 10 am – 12 noon

Link is offering a new concept into the realms of self-awareness and healing. His upcoming “Elemental Playshop” is designed to cater to anyone with interest in growing in their relationship with these fundamental aspects of reality.

Your Chinese Astrology for the Yin Ox 2021

Join Healing Arts Professional and Spiritual Mentor Arthur “Link” Freeman LMBT for an experiential class designed to prepare you for the flux of energies in the upcoming year. We cannot control what happens in our lives or everything around us, but we can choose what we aim at! Use a map informed by the wisdom of Chinese Astrology to carefully plan your year in a way that flows well for YOU.
A common misconception is that Chinese Astrology is all about the “Animal Year Sign” when this gives even less information than a Sun Sign in Western! Each Animal is paired with a different Element which can be further divided into either Yang or Yin. We’ll have a much deeper understanding of ourselves having looked at our charts in this way by the end of the session!

The class will involve a refresher for previous Bazi students and a basic overview for newcomers.  Bazi Chart is a system that can helps uncover your Life Potential by analyzing the blueprint of your personal birth data.  The 4 Pillars are composed of the year of birth, month, day, and hour. Each “pillar” holds two words, hence the 8 Characters (Ba).  The rest of the time will be used for exploring how the upcoming Chinese New Year will impact YOUR life. The energy will be unique to each person’s chart, as most “astrology articles” on the internet giving a general prediction for the year can be difficult to apply to one’s life.  You will learn to apply practical “cures” of better behaviors and supportive relationships in our lives. The “cure” to any imbalanced Bazi chart is ACTION (aka Move the Energy/Qi) and thus can be done through awareness and follow through.

Content will be above beginner level so please have a working understanding of how the 5 Elements of Chinese Thought interact with each other in Chinese Astrology by reading this blog post on the Armonia Health LLC website:  https://armoniahealth.com/2020/12/chinese-astrology-5-elements-and-ba-zi-charts/
