Welcome to my unique Six-Week Program. Here you will develop a daily practice/regime that will help to ground and strengthen your body, shift your energy, balance your emotions, calm your nervous system, cultivate inner peace, and connect you to your divinity through expressive arts.​

​

This program teaches 5 different healing modalities to help you become more grounded, peaceful, and expressive. Each week is a different modality. Week one starts with yoga/and or conscious dance. In week two we explore pranayama (breath work). Week three is sound healing and sacred mantra. In week four we learn and practice silent, seated meditation. In weeks five/six we explore archetypal mask creation and character development.

 

I offer the program in person and via Zoom.

Please join Barbara Dametto and Natalia Brajak for an afternoon of playful physical theater, archetypal character investigation, and papier-mache mask exploration.

 

This workshop will be an opportunity for participants to delve into their own understanding of what Carl Jung referred to as: “Innate, unlearned patterns of influence that shape the self.” It is suitable for anyone who is curious about self-exploration, expressive arts, and different healing modalities.

​

About Mask Work: 

Mask work is a form of expressive arts therapy that opens us to the many layers of our psyche in a fun, creative, and safe way. It is the process of exploring our personal personas (archetypes) by delving into the psychology and characterization of 3-dimensional, wearable, papier mache masks. Mask work allows us to investigate aspects of ourselves that perhaps are unrealized or unexpressed. We do this through guided techniques and exploratory processes that encourage us to befriend the masks in ways that are playful and deep.

Join me for a beautiful evening of conscious dance, breathwork, sacred cacao ceremony, heart-opening meditation, singing, and outdoor fire circle.

​

During these accelerated and life-changing times, it's important to gather with like-minded people to intentionally create the reality we prefer- a reality based on love.

 

Connecting to our bodies through movement and breathwork as medicine grounds us in our physical world.

 

Drinking sacred cacao (and acknowledging both this Mayan tradition and the elemental world in nature) brings us into direct communication with the wisdom of our hearts and our ancestors.

 

Meditation allows us to become empty so that Source wisdom can clearly communicate with us.

 

Rejoicing in songful prayer unites and strengthens our ties with one another.

 

Taking our experience around an outdoor fire, burns and transforms our intentions and ignites our spirits to soar into the unlimited possibilities of the universe.

​

During this 2.5-hour long workshop, participants will be guided through two unique journeys- an earth/body physical journey and a sound/soul ethereal journey.

​

We will begin with a grounding body practice involving breath work, deep body stretches, and a fun, shaking earth-medicine dance.

 

We will then transition into an expansive, sacred sound bath that will take us deep into our vibratory nature and beyond. Sacred sound can easily instill the theta brain wave state (a deeply relaxed state of mind) where there's a strong connection to our creativity, memories, intuition, and dreams. Theta brain wave states are akin to deep qualities of meditation, prayer, and spiritual awakening experiences.

​

Come and enjoy the healing sound frequencies of Paiste Gongs, crystal singing bowls, Auracle hand pan, frame drums, rattles, ocean drums, shruti box, chimes, tuning forks, vocal toning, and more. Leave feeling resonated, rested, and restored.

​

Please bring a yoga mat and water bottle (I have blankets and cushions) and wear comfortable clothes. Maximum 6 people.

This sound journey uses the metaphor of the Tree of Life which is often a symbol of death, life, and immortality. The ancient Celts believed that trees were their ancestors and gatekeepers to the other worlds..

​

We'll start the sound journey with the "roots" section (the ancestral lower realms). Musical instruments such as C note didgeridoo drones, rattles, Native drums, and thunder drums are used to stabilize and give an overall sense of solidity and connection to what lies beneath.

​

The "trunk" section of the sound journey (the earthly realms) will combine the key of E with consistent, rhythmic, rapid drumming to attain a shamanic trance state. The steady beat of drumming is a powerful tool for relaxing the body and bringing both hemispheres of the brain into balance. 

​

The "branches" section of the sound journey (the upper world) will combine the key of A with light and airy musical instruments such as Paiste planetary gongs, crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, and chimes to elevate and relax us into an altered state of expanded consciousness and peace.​

​

Maximum 6 participants.

​

The chakras are spinning universal energy vortexes that express themselves in the pranic (energy) body from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Each has its own associated physical and psychological characteristics. 

This workshop will take place in two parts: 

 

Participants will first be guided through a series of chakra awareness activities. Deep stretching/strengthening techniques, movement expression, breathwork, vowel toning, meditation, and savasana relaxation will activate each center and bring the body, emotions, and mind into a beautiful state of harmony and oneness.

 

The second part of this event will be a one-hour-long sound bath that uses specific musical instruments aimed to calm and stimulates each chakra center. As we move from the 1st chakra to the 7th chakra, we journey from the denser realms and lower musical notes to the spiritual realms and higher, more delicate musical notes. 

 

Please bring a yoga mat and water bottle (I have blankets and cushions) and wear comfortable clothes. Please avoid wearing perfume. Maximum 6 people.
