Electrons Plus is a guided PEMF Therapy that effectively eliminates pain. Like a battery, the human body is electric and is made up of cells that carry voltage. Electrons Plus will allow me to stimulate the body by running an electromagnetic field through my hands to your body, creating a healing process at a cellular level.
Electrons Plus requires skin-to-skin contact in order to enact the healing process. Exposure will be necessary in order to target areas of discomfort. Your body will never be fully exposed, however, athletic clothing or easily accessible clothing is encouraged for easy treatment. Electrons Plus works and feels like a deep tissue massage. Participants are suggested to be hydrated before and after 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.

Cooking with Cannabis Introduction Class
2023-06-10 10:30 - 11:30 UTC
Blend the magic of cannabis with the craft of cooking in this introductory class that will teach you the basics of cooking with cannabis. Held in our demo kitchen, we will show you how to make infused butter and oil to give you the building blocks to include hemp in your dishes!
Decarb & Infuse
Decarboxylation, or decarb for short, is the process of altering the chemical makeup of cannabis to create a potent formula for edibles, oils, and salves. During this class, you’ll learn the decarboxylation process so you can infuse your medical marijuana or hemp flower into foods.
Dosing Edibles
Unless you invest in an at-home THC tester, there’s no way to know exactly how potent your infusion is. You can, however, do a calculation to get a rough estimate of potency. During this session, we’ll go over the process of dosing edibles to ensure safe consumption.*
About the Instructor
As a chronic pain sufferer, related to spine issues and migraines, Heather Kreider a Registered Nurse, knows first-hand how cannabis can help patients live a happier, healthier life. She is an Medical Marijuana card holder in PA, cannabis advocate and strives to break the stigma that cannabis users are “a bunch of burnouts.” Heather is also certified in Advanced Cannabis Training and is PA Dispensary Agent Certified.
Heather also helps patients navigate the process of obtaining a medical marijuana card, working with dispensaries, and determining the medical marijuana formulations and application methods that will best target the symptoms they’re experiencing. Her goal is to alleviate the gap in patient education by helping individuals understand the different types of cannabinoids, terpenes, and ways to consume medical marijuana. She also helps guide patients in how to safely administer the products they purchase.
*Basic recipe include.

We encourage you to bring an open mind, as Heather Hostetter guides us through the creative process of transferring ideas from your imagination to a canvas you can take home and proudly display.
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 brush flowing across the canvas.
Our goal is to create more than a canvas, we want to build a sense of community where we have fun and break the stigma surrounding cannabis, on painting at a time!

YOGA INSTRUCTOR BIO: Roberta Strickler has been teaching yoga, yoga as therapy, mindfulness meditation, and Ayurveda, in central Pennsylvania since 1995, the year she earned her first certificate as a yoga teacher from the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, MA, followed by12 years studying Anusara Yoga (an Iyengar-based style of yoga known for its elegant language and therapeutic principles of alignment).
She sees the goal of yoga to be the relaxation of the body so the mind can be stilled for the practice of meditation. Key to aging, throughout the past ten years, her study has been focused on Yoga As Therapy (with Doug Keller) and the practices of Ayurveda, an Eastern system of medicine that focuses on causes of dis-ease more so than clusters of symptoms.
Roberta studied Mindfulness Meditation with Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1998 and for 6 years worked on a team to present Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction at then-St Joseph Hospital in Lancaster. In that setting she also created and taught yoga for Breast Cancer Survivors, then broadened it to yoga and mindfulness for survivors of other cancers and cardiac events.
Her studies of Ayurveda (Yoga and Meditation are primary tools of Ayurveda) were inspired by the fine teachers at the Himalayan Institute in Honesdale, PA. She is certified as an Ayurveda Health Counselor by the Kripalu Center.
Ayurveda is a sister science to yoga. Wherein the goal of yoga is spiritual – to quiet the mind for meditation – Ayurveda is the science of health. Much like Chinese medicine, Ayurveda teaches a lifestyle that finds balance with nature and the self.
This approach to the integration of yoga, meditation and Ayurveda into issues of balance, physical rehabilitation, and well being, have dominated her private teaching throughout the past ten years.
