Welcome Shamonic Reiki Master, Andrea Polk, back to the library for an evening of tranquility exploring the vibrant wetlands that surround us! This session will begin with an opening circle on the library's lawn. We will be guided in a mindful walking session to the wetland preserve behind our library and engage in a Zen ritual at the wetlands. All will return to the library with a closing reflection and walk back to the lawn. 

Registration and a waiver are required.

Registrants will be required to fill out a waiver to participate as we will be venturing off of library property.

What is Whale breathing?

Whale breathing is a powerful self-healing technique

This breath helps release emotional blocks, relieving you of stress, anxiety and tension. It connects your body, soul and spirit. Using continuous, diaphragmatic conscious breathing, along with toning, you detoxify and purify the body. This renews your body at a cellular level and creates a connection to inner wisdom. The increase in the flow of oxygen to your organs and lymph system, boosts immunity and your body’s natural healing ability.
