SUMMARY:New Moon Yoga Nidra & Reiki in the Salt Cave

Begin a new ritual and join us monthly to slow down\, become present and set these intentions. During this session Kate will also be offering Reiki to those who desire. Reiki feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. It is a powerful attunement that treats the whole person including body\, emotions\, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace\, security and well being. Release stuck emotions\, rest\, and rejuvenate! Join Reiki Master Teacher and Yoga Nidra Facilitator\, Kate Wargo of Woven Light LLC in a soothing Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) practice guiding you into the “in between”; that space between being awake and being asleep.
