2-2:50 Sound Healing with Emiliano Jimenez
A native from Jujuy (northern Argentina), Emiliano has been residing in Chico since 2012. His passion has been focused on overall health and the holistic health care framework, which moved him to become a Transpersonal Therapist at the "Escuela Argentina de Psicologia Transpersonal". He has focused his energies on exploring the healing properties of ancient musical instruments such as the Australian Didgeridoo, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Gong and Crystal Singing Bowls. Developing his own approach to a body-mind therapy using the sound and vibrations of the instruments as well as deep relaxation and imagery. Class Description ~ The classes are designed to be a pleasurable experience. Through breathing exercises and relaxation techniques we prepare ourselves to receive the sound and its vibrations. The sound will take our body and mind into a deep relaxation awaking our own healing potential. You will leave the session with a strong feeling of well being, inner peace, balance and energy. It can be a very powerful personal experience even for first timers. The music & sound are performed live by Emiliano with instruments like didgeridoo, crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, gong and more.

This demonstration/talk will include a discussion of the "9 Essentials" enumerated by Anat Baniel as being critical to our ability to learn new ways of being. Neuromovement (formerly called ABM Anat Banial Mehtod) is a learning-based approach to improved physical and neurological organization. This can lead to increased flexibility without stretching, improved posture and balance, reduced joint and muscular pain and symptomatic improvement is a wide array of neurological conditions.
4-4:50 Living our Wholeness with Grace Wood-Wills
Grace has a master’s degree in Transpersonal Psychology, and sees clients in Chico as a Transformation Facilitator through her business, Love Awakening Within. The Key to living our wholeness is a process that involves honoring, deep listening, accepting, and opening to those aspects of ourselves that we try to exaggerate, hide, ignore, dislike, and deny. We notice that a new awareness and feeling of balance emerges…one of loving and accepting ourselves. We also feel more in touch with our integrity and responsibility to be awakened citizens and to create conscious actions that lead to healing, growth and sustainability of our planet and all her creatures. During our time together we will creatively explore duality and the Oneness of Being.
5:15-6 Beginners Pilates with Bobbi Jones
