It leaves you feeling refreshed, less "in your head" and more connected to body/mind & spirit.

Quantum Touch -Bart Copeland, RN

Quantum-Touch is a method of natural healing that works with the Life Force Energy of the body to promote optimal wellness. Life Force Energy, also known as ‘chi’ in Chinese and ‘prana’ in Sanskrit, is the flow of energy that sustains all living beings. Quantum-Touch teaches us how to focus, amplify, and direct this energy, for a wide range of benefits with surprising and often extraordinary results. Quantum-Touch is easy enough to be learned by children, yet powerful enough to astound physicians, chiropractors, physical therapists, and a host of health professionals. One of the real joys of this work is that we truly don't know the limits of what is possible. Your love has tremendous impact to benefit those around you


We Know Our Way: Developing Our Inner Guide- Lisa Beavers, PhD, LPC

Listening to ourselves is a critical component of personal empowerment and living a life where we thrive. So often, we stop listening to ourselves as we begin to fear and judge our thoughts, feelings, goals and desires.  It is through diligence and a focus on healthy self-talk that we begin to find the freedom to heal, grow and thrive.  When we utilize quality education, knowledge, healthy support systems and resources, we leave fear, stigma and self-doubt behind and begin to see our desires and dreams as attainable.

 


The Red Road to Wellbriety: A Holistic and Spiritual Approach to Resilience - Daniel Wolfshadow, BS,WFR, AIST

This is an invitation to take the Red Road Journey. The term Wellbriety is an affirmation that wholeness is more than the removal of behaviors from an otherwise unchanged life. Wellbriety is larger and provides the tools to change personal identity, values and a visible change in one’s relationship with self and others. It is about physical, emotional, spiritual and relational health. Wellbriety is founded on the recognition that we cannot bring one part of our lives under control while other parts are out of control. It is the beginning of a quest for harmony and wholeness with the self, the family, and the community.
