The Spa College News Bulletin
Welcome Change is necessary more than ever and the willingness to flow with the change will decide over success or failure. Some proven principles will remain but new requirements are upon us whether they are taking steps to quickly align with ecological necessities or adopting new platforms of communication. Join us for interactive discussions and information sharing on our Facebook Group: News Cast: We have started filling the 2009 workshop calendar with courses in Costa Rica and Indonesia. If you are a facilitator and offer workshops that are aligned with our mission you could be invited to present them here at Spa College. Please contact us: director@spa-college.com Hope to hear from you soon. Nicolay - editor at large Trouble viewing this page click here: eLetters |

Introductory offer: Think Holistically - by Lauriann Greene CEAS Lauriann has been a leading writer, speaker and researcher on injury prevention for manual therapists since 1995. She studied at Brown and Harvard Universities and attended the Mannes College of Music before graduating in 1993 from Seattle Massage School. As a former professional orchestral conductor and pianist, Lauriann was interested in working with other musicians to reduce playing-related upper extremity injury. This interest led her to write an article on musculoskeletal disorders among musicians that appeared in Massage Therapy Journal in 1994. Lauriann used this research, as well as her own experience with work-related injury, to develop the "Save Your Hands!" workshops for massage therapists. Between 1993 and 2003, she taught these injury prevention workshops to hundreds of students and professionals across the United States and Canada. Based on the anecdotal evidence she obtained from workshop participants, and existing research on musculoskeletal disorders, she wrote the first edition of Save Your Hands! When it was published in 1995, Save Your Hands! was the first comprehensive book on injury prevention and treatment written for manual therapists. |
The Healing Sound of Love- by Ashana
For the last decade, she has been involved in a deeply personal exploration of sound healing and vocal toning, during which period she discovered and began playing quartz crystal singing bowls, instruments that are often used in contemplative practices to support healing, balance and well-being. “For me, singing is a life path, a spiritual journey that has led to the very core of my being,” says Ashana. “Music can transport us, lift us to the place where we gently let go and open completely to receive and remember the divine heart that lives within each one of us, that truly lives in all beings. I have seen, felt and been utterly transformed by the power of sound and music to heal; it is a gift to us from the Source of Love – it is total, pure Grace.” |

In September Spa College will be returning to Costa Rica to host a month-long series of workshops starting with the 2009 Yoga Teachers Training in Bali, Indonesia This is an immersion course that is for the mature, open-minded and curious yoga practitioner who wants to inquire deeply into their own personal practice. It is a course that addresses the aspects of teaching yoga yet is very much a personal and group journey of discovery. It is not a course that requires you to repeat or memorize or conform. . . instead you are encouraged to open up to new dimensions of yourself that make the Yoga practice very real, personal and authentic for YOU. Teacher Training course in Ubud, Bali - Indonesia April 10 to May 1 2009 facilitated by Ateeka. For more information visit: Alchemy of the Body. |
