PAST EVENTS:




Awaken the Goddess Mini Retreat and Energy Clearing
Sunday, January 4, 2015
9:30am-11:30am






At New Year’s time it’s natural to think about what’s transpired in the year just passed and prepare to welcome positive new energy to support your intentions in the months ahead. 


I believe it is most important to bring awareness to what energy belongs to us and to allow this to flow within and be protected, while releasing all the energy that does not belong to us, releasing all those things that do not nourish us with forgiveness and compassion. 

This time will be dedicated to clearing our energy centers, the most important space in our life, to create our “ultimate sanctuary” within ourselves, activating positive intentions, opening our energy centers and sealing our energy for protection.

LOCATION:

Swan River Yoga Mandir

2940 Canal St. NOLA in Mid City



DESCRIPTION:

* Restorative poses | Essential Oil Therapy

* Chakra Activation | Energy Clearing

* One on One Therapeutic Massage by JESSICA HENO BONNET, LMT
