Shiastu & Breema Vibes!
with Nora Fanshel & René Jenkins

Shiatsu and Breema are two time-honored healing arts that balance the energy of our body using rhythmic movement, gradual stretching, firm and gentle pressure and deep, natural breathing.
A Shiatsu/Breema treatment is given on a well padded carpet with the recipient wearing loose, comforable clothing to facilitate freedom of movement. Both invigorating and calming touch are used to increase the flow of energy through the whole body, promoting vitality, flexibility and suppleness (the ability to release tension!).
Nora Fanshel is a California State Certified Shiatsu and Breema Bodywork practitioner and instructor, teaching since 1983.

"This attunement through intention, sound and vital touch will plant your feet on the earth and open your heart! In the rhythmic deep leans, holds and dynamic releases of Breema we can experience the harmonic resonance of our aliveness. René's flutes, didjeridu, and other beautiful wind & percussive instruments will invite in the Five Elements: he plays these ancient instruments with the intention of reuniting us to our cellular memory of oneness and wholeness!"

Sunday afternoon, May 21
Time: 2 – 5pm
Location: Classes held at Nora's studio in Sebastopol
Fee: $65
Pre-registration is necessary
*Registration is limited to 12 students*

CD Release

Ayni, featuring two sound healers from the south & north America continents, Tito La Rosa and René Jenkins, come together for an evening concert of improvisation and ceremony. Playing ancient instruments (condor bone flute, pututo, feather quill queña, didjeridu, zampoña, drum and more), they call to awaken a deeper sense of aliveness, and whisper an invitation to commune with the Spirit of Ayni. Recorded live at San Francisco's Main Post Chapel in the Presidio, and released in October 2004. "Ayni" means sacred reciprocity in Quechua.

The Ayni CD is available for $20 (including tax & shipping),
