Guided Meditations: Body As Stillness - FRI, SAT & SUN 8:15am – 9:15am
In this meditation, we will explore our felt-sense perception of body and body-boundary through an experiential curiosity into the unnamable. Through turning our attention inward and releasing the need to know, we gain a palpable sense of what it means to be abiding in stillness and the multidimensional expressions of stillness as it lives, breathes, and evolves through, around, and as us. We will tap into the wisdom of the heart, journeying story-less into our unique enfleshment as love.

Singing Bowl & Voice Alchemy - FRI 3pm, SAT 1:15pm & SUN 1:30pm
Dana invites listeners to lay or relax as we move through the body with vibration. I've written an Affirmation Song for each chakra that I sing in harmony with 7 crystal singing bowl. The intention in the lyrics, the harmony of my voice and the bowl's vibration create an alchemy of sound for listeners to bathe in as they allow their body to enter a meditative state where it can heal itself, align and rejuvenate.
