Altered States as an Integral Part of Healing and Living Healthy Lives

Traditional cultural activities of trance, dance, music and rhythm, peak experiences, and even inner, intuitive exploration have an important role in health through our entire lives. Positive shifts in our mental and physical states often come through the alterations in consciousness induced during these activities. In this workshop will explore how using intentional altered states can bring new insight about dis-ease in the mind/body system and stimulate physical and emotional healing. You will experience a hypnosis/trance exercise intended to stimulate healing and release in the body and a brief trance drumming session to directly stimulate spiritual/emotional activation of the mind/body system.
