Come out and join us for two powerful rounds of Bio-Energy Healing on THURSDAY April 19th, 7 pm and stay for the second half of the evening where we will host our first ever “Healing Song Circle”.
People find that participating in a song circle is an easy and effortless experience, where the melodies, words and rhythms actually do the healing work for you. The songs we will sing together will quiet the mind and allow you to connect with your Inner Healer — leaving you calm, relaxed and happy. Each song carries a powerful vibration and has a different purpose or theme, such as gratitude, forgiveness, healing, spiritual connection or love. You can think of the experience as a sing-a-long in different languages, with melodies and chants from many diverse cultures and traditions. In a truly magical way, your voice naturally begins to merge with the group and we become One Voice together.
Event Details
During the first half of the evening, trained practitioners offer group Bio-Energy Healing sessions. For the second half, a local teacher or healer is invited to share their wisdom and healing tools with us. Bio-Energy Healing is the core practice of the Circle of Light. It is our means of producing miracles of healing. Bio-Energy Healing is intentional, powerful, effective and can be easily learned and practised by almost anyone. A unique feature of our gatherings is that we perform Bio-Energy Healing in a circle, as a synchronized group. The intention is to create a powerful vortex of healing energy in the room which causes the healing effects of the treatment to increase exponentially. As we share Bio-Energy treatments with one another, we create a ripple of healing light that extends out into the city, the country, and around the planet. Please join us for a light-filled evening of friendship, healing, laughter, insight and inspiration.
