Join Reiki Masters, Donna Matera and Catherine Barrett for this level 1 Reiki training. The attendants will receive periods of hands on Reiki healing and spiritual guidance bringing them to a sense of calm. Participants will learn how to feel and explore their own energy. At the end of class they will receive Reiki I certification which will allow them to balance their own energy centers (chakras) and bring healing energy to themselves and to their pets. The class will be 90 minutes long.
New Canaan’s Diane Nickelberg Barnett, a career real estate attorney who established her own practice in Queens, N.Y. 20 years ago, came to find meditation and yoga because her work was highly stressful and she sought balance. She started teaching meditation and yoga 10 years ago, in New York City, at RBS in Stamford and through private lessons. Then one year ago, Nickelberg Barnett thought about starting her own permanent meditation business near home, and began looking for a location. She found the perfect one. “This is for anyone who has a stressful life,” Nickelberg Barnett said on a recent morning from Grounded Meditation, a serene space located in “the tower” at Pryority Wellness, a holistic wellness center at 45 Grove St.
Pryority is proud to share our new partnership with Grounded Meditation! Join Julie Pryor and Diane Nickelberg, founder of Grounded Meditaiton as they demystify the meditation process. Discover the various forms of meditation and experience the countless benefits of this ancient healing modality. We’re sure you’ll find that meditation isn’t intimidating or “out there,” but rather the perfect self care behavior to declutter your mind or manage anxiety, improve memory and sleep, and boost physical well-being. The following week, we will begin offering five meditation classes per week, including some early morning hours for those of you who could use a little center and balance before hopping in the car or on the train.
On the evening of the Spring equinox, honor Earth’s day of balance by finding your equilibrium as you trace the classical labyrinth pattern. Focus on a thought, question or prayer. Perhaps you want to set an intention or aim to let go of negative thoughts at the start of this new season. Labyrinth walking is an ancient healing practice to center and balance mind, body and spirit. Used by people of all faiths, it’s the perfect way to quiet the mind and focus on a spiritual and soulful journey.
Pryority is excited to collaborate with New Canaan’s own Greens on the Go to bring you a mind-body cleanse just in time for spring. Begin your cleanse with Acupuncture ear seeds, applied by our Licensed Acupuncturist, Stephanie Coogan. Over the course of three days, as you nourish and purify your body with healthy food from Greens on the Go, you’ll prepare your mind and spirit to eliminate and refresh at the same time. Each day you will pick up your cleanse meals, including kitchari (a nourishing, easy to digest mixture of grains), at Greens on the Go. Implement self-care techniques like dry brushing and tongue scraping into your daily routine – these tools will be included in your detox kit and you’ll receive instructions on the right way to use.
