Sound Meditation w/ Monica Mullen
2022-10-02 18:00 - 20:00, 2022-11-06 18:00 - 20:00, 2022-11-20 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Hempfield Apothetique, 100 West Walnut Street, Lancaster, PA, 17603, United States
Sound therapy has been an integral part of Monica’s spiritual growth, deepening her relationship to the present moment. It brings her complete joy to facilitate experiences for others as she intuitively uses a variety of overtone emitting instruments to help empower participants settle into stillness and relaxation. Monica starts with a guided meditation paired with instruments in which I give tools to use to navigate the busy mind during the session, helping to achieve slower brainwaves to allow the body to enter relaxation so it can restore itself in its natural rhythm which is hindered by mental and physical stress. She utilizes visualization to encourage the use of the creative imagination, adding some breath work to help release stored tension and use vocalization to bring the vibration into the body which stimulates the vagus nerve. She then allows the participants drift off to deeply listen to the sound with all of their senses.
CLASS LENGTH: 2 hours
INSTRUCTOR BIO: Monica found her passion as a sound practitioner after playing a singing bowl in late 2019. Since then she has followed the call of the sound by experimenting intuitively with instruments, and receiving training from Lana Ryder, Alexandre Tannous, and David Shamesh. Intrigued by how sound can effect the mind, body, spirit, as a divine consciousness, she continues her education on such topics. Residing in charming Lancaster, PA, Monica facilitates group sound meditations and private sessions in the surrounding area, also incorporating reiki and quantum touch in her sessions.

Designed to combat the mental and physical repercussions of everyday stress. Still the mind, increase balance and capacity for healing, boosts immune system functions, and deeply relaxes the body to alleviate built up stress.
A meditative form of yoga with a focus on breathwork and longer-held poses. More relaxed, passive, and slow-paced, allowing the body tissue to rest and recover. Restorative yoga releases mind-body tension by moving at a slower, more-relaxed pace that allows the body tissues to rest and recover. Props, such as blocks, straps, and bolsters, may be used to support your pose with ease to achieve relaxed comfort.
Restorative yoga works with the parasympathetic nervous system, which targets our response to stress in the body. Slow poses paired with breathwork can slow down the heart rate while increasing blood flow to your vital organs.

Sound Meditation with Mike Tamburo
2022-10-16 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York)
Allow yourself to enter a timeless space of listening as Crown of Eternity’s Mike Tamburo orchestrates his way through 50+ overtone rich instruments including Gongs, Bells, Spinning Bell Plates, tuned metal instruments and Hammered Dulcimer. Listeners have described Mike Tamburo’s music as an adventure in listening; sonic bliss; a deep and lasting vibrational rejuvenation for body and soul; a profound aesthetic experience; a journey through the senses and a perceptual rollercoaster. Allow yourself to be still and listen.
Mike Tamburo Bio: Over the past 20+ years Mike Tamburo has become well known as a multi-instrumentalist, music educator, interdisciplinary sound artist, video artist, sound therapist, writer, meditation teacher and avid traveler; sharing over 2000 public and private performances and recording more than 65 albums of ecstatic and transcendental music as well as folk, drone, ambient and sometimes unclassifiable sounds. Early in Tamburo’s career he gained notoriety for his string playing (hammered dulcimer, guitar and shahi baaja). In many of his early performances he began to enter into altered states of consciousness and have out of body experiences while performing. In order to understand these experiences he went into years of self study; exploring Kundalini Yoga, energy work, the therapeutic use of sound and how sound impacts consciousness, human perception and self healing. His love for long sustained drones, overtones and psychoacoustics led him to working with multiple gongs and other tuned metal instruments (bells, sound plates, singing bowls) as well as exploring the healing power of mantra and toning.

Puff-Puff-Paint Class - Mindful Mandala Dot Art
2022-11-04 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
Why Should I Take a Mindful Mandala Dot Art class?

Art of all kinds help individuals process things when words seem hard to come by. It can even help us with the experiential side (the emotional side) of whatever it is we are processing. The type of art used for this activity is pointillism. Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. Using small dots to form a bigger whole can be really reflective of a lot of things in our lives. Using dots also helps us develop the ability to SLOW DOWN and increases our level of mindfulness. Society tells us we are what we do, so we constantly hustle and strive to do more. We might increase productivity yet feel depleted afterwards. Why? Because we are doing things in a robotic way, not connected to the reason we are doing things. We are doing without intention. This activity forces us to slow down.
General Class Info: Channel your creative fire with a little help from your friends and a sparked-up pre-roll!

Many artists use cannabis to conjure creativity and ground them in the moment with their medium. We encourage cannabis use to calm the nerves and get the artist ideas flowing across the substrate. Our goal is to create more than a piece of art, we want to build a sense of community where we have fun and break the stigma surrounding cannabis, one painting project at a time!
