Learn how to stay cool and hydrated all summer long!

In this class we will go over herbs and food tips for supporting the body’s ability to cool down while  keeping up mineral and electrolyte intake.  

Staying hydrated includes more than just drinking plain water, we must actively seek proper mineral and  electrolyte content. Having balanced electrolytes allow for each and every cell to efficiently absorb nourishment and release toxicity which is vital for our overall well being. Low and impaired electrolytes  can lead to dehydration which can cause devastating short or/and long term effects on the body.  As for minerals (which include those incredible electrolytes), they are the deep bases for every proper  function of the physical and mental bodies. WOW! That’s amazing.  

We will also experience a Yogi cooling breath, as well as cooling and hydrating teas and snacks.

Reiki is an ancient Japanese art of hands-on healing. It is a spiritual practice that follows the energy systems of the body, triggering the innate wisdom within the mind-body and spirit. This allows for deep profound awareness and healing and creates a space of restored balance and alignment. It soothes and relaxes tensions as well as emotions.  This is a very transformative class and a process that will last for 21 days. 

Reiki 1 includes: 

• Introduction and history of Usui Reiki. Talk about Tibetan and Shamanic Reiki

• 3 Channel opening attunements: Each attunement opens up deeper channels of connection to source energy as well as utilizing the self as a conduit of divine healing.

• Learn about the 4 bodies (spiritual, mental, emotional, physical), 4 elements (air, water, earth, air), and the Chakra system and how they impact our daily life.

• How to create a ceremony, a sacred space, and find the tools that will help you along your journey and the journey of your future clients.

• Go in-depth about self-care, self-healing, and how to tap into the wisdom of your wounds. Learn how to listen to your body and connect to your intuition as a guide.

• Techniques on setting up your daily self-care Reiki sessions

• An in-depth manual

• 21 days of daily support with long-distance Reiki and via emails from Natalija. With a final check and closure at the end of 21 days.

This is a super fun and wonderfully empowering class! We will go over the many items you already have in your pantry that can be used as potent medicines & health boosting tonics.

• A list of common spices to have on hand, what they are used for, when to replace them and how to store them for a long shelf life.  

• Different foods ( like onions, garlic, beets, lime/lemons, peppers, horseradish, raw honey...) that are used for various ailments and overall good health.

Come spend Saturday afternoon with Vicki, our aromatic specialist, as she chats with you about how you might incorporate the magnificence of essential oils into your everyday life. 

One of the questions she gets quite often is, “Why is rose essential oil so expensive?”  A great question!  Well, it takes all the petals from 30-50 roses to produce a single drop of steam-distilled rose otto essential oil.  No wonder rose is so expensive, right?  

In this class, she will be sharing with you:

• The difference between essential oils, fragrances, and plant extracts

• The “how, why, and when” you would want to use essential oils

• Her top 10 essential oils that you can begin using with your family, friends,  or just for you. 

Handouts will be provided.

Reiki is an ancient Japanese art of hands on healing. It is a spiritual practice that follows the energy  systems of the body, triggering the innate wisdom within the mind body and spirit. This allows for deep  profound awareness and healing, and creates a space of restored balance and alignment. It soothes and  relaxes tensions as well as emotions. This is a very self transformative class and a process which will last for 21 days.

Reiki 1 includes: 

• Introduction and history of Usui Reiki. Talk about Tibetan and Shamanic Reiki

• 3 Channel opening attunements: Each attunement opens up deeper channels of connection to source energy as well as utilizing the self as a conduit of divine healing.

• Learn about the 4 bodies (spiritual, mental , emotional, physical), 4 elements (air, water, earth, air) and the Chakra system and how they impact our daily life.

• How to create ceremony, a sacred space and finding the tools that will help you along your journey and the journey of your self healing and future clients.

• Go in depth about self care, self healing and how to tap into the wisdom of your wounds. Learn how to listen to your body and connect to your intuition as a guide. It is vital that we learn to navigate our own wounds before we guide others to do so.

• Techniques on setting up your daily self care Reiki sessions

• An in depth manual

• 21 days of daily support with long distance Reiki from Natalija and unlimited email support. With a final check and closure at the end of 21 days.
