Friday, April 12th from 7-8:30pm at Hummingbird Valley Retreat Center in Santa Cruz! 

This workshop is especially suited to those who have little or no prior experience with Breema (though everyone can benefit). In a nurturing, nonjudgmental atmosphere, we will practice simple Breema bodywork sequences, cover all the basic elements, and discover how to work with the Nine Principles of Harmony while giving and receiving. We will also look at incorporating Breema into our busy lives, and extending the benefit of giving and receiving into our everyday activities.

Breema supports the body’s vitality, increases the availability of the mind, and nurtures our true feelings. The movements range from energetic and playful to calm and relaxing. Practicing Breema provides a way to balance whatever state we find ourselves in. The practice can help us overcome lethargy by increasing our energy, or relieve stress by releasing tension.

On a more essential level, as our body, mind, and feelings work together with the aim of participating fully in the movements, we may experience a deep sense of being present, a new way of relating to ourselves and everything around us, and a glimpse of the potential and purpose of being human.
