Meditation and Contemplative Practices:   

In these workshops, shared between Bettina Zumdick, Misha Forrester, and Olaf Fischer you'll have  opportunities to:   

• Explore a variety of meditative practices that include following the breath, moving meditation, chanting, and guided visualization
• Develop moment-to-moment awareness, observing and witnessing your thoughts, feelings and sensations  
• Utilize mindfulness-based strategies that may help dissolve critical, habitual ways of thinking and acting that often judgmentally hijack your bliss
• Slow down your breathing rate, blood pressure, and heart rate to discover how mindfulness can cultivate positive, emotional states in ourselves and others, to become more patient, kind, accepting, and compassionate, thus improving overall mood and health and producing lower stress responses.    

Movement and Exercise Practices: 

 In workshops, with Misha Forrester, you will be guided in:

• Slow, gentle, pleasurable movements designed to communicate between muscle, bone, and brain for increased neuroplasticity 
• Building a capacity for greater body wisdom, coordination, ease and grace; better posture; and if you have been experiencing pain or stiffness, reduction in both, by using the whole body and by responding, knowingly, to your own movement cues 
• Developing weight-bearing strategies to build stronger bones, better circulation, and confidence in moving and walking upright -- a great planned program for the New Year!

In workshops with Olaf Fischer and Misha Forrester you will be guided in using a variety of gentle stretches, tapping, and directed, sequential movements to   

• Stimulate circulation, lymph fluid, and strengthen and tone organs and tissues for wellness and increased vitality
• Improve muscle tone for greater strength and stamina  
• Reduce stress and tension for greater sense of calm and inner focus  
• Cleanse your breath for a stronger universal life-force
