This Young Adult “On Her Own” Basics course is a 20-hour course designed specifically for women 17 to 22 years old. Similar to the Adult Basics course, we cover awareness, boundary setting, and physical self-defense, but this class teaches young women how to respond to problems they often encounter as they begin to face the world on their own. Classes are limited to 14-16 students.

This course meets on multiple dates over a weekend – Friday, June 14th (2pm-8pm), Saturday, June 15th (12pm-8pm), and Sunday, June 16th (10am-6pm) – please make sure you are available to attend every session.

May is for Remembrance

To EveryONE who has a Mother!

We celebrate two very special holidays in May: Mother’s Day, and Memorial Day. Both remind us to give thanks to those who have made our lives even possible. First, we should especially acknowledge those who birthed us and raised us, who cooked, clothed and fed us. With the same awareness, we may also give thanks to any who have “mothered” us along our way.   Nurturing is an art in itself! Secondly, we should pause to offer gratitude to those who have gone to battle to protect us. They have sacrificed much.

 

Let this gratitude and appreciation propel you forward to make the most of your life and your resources. In Chinese medicine, May is the heart of the Spring season, the season of the Wood Element. Those who have taken our Qigong classes know what that means! Wood Element is about birth, growth, determination, and drive. Like a young green shoot pushing up through the soil, respond to this seasonal flow and “get s**t done”! Know your dream? Start now to make it happen!

 

Not one to preach but not practice, Chris is following his dream of becoming a bestselling author and world renowned proponent of Chinese medicine. Our first book, “Qigong Self-Refinement Course” will be published by Balboa Press this summer. We hope to have copies to take when we go to the International Fitness Professional Association convention in Florida in July.   In any case we will launch the book with a celebration at the Center. Stay tuned for that!

Spring into Shape; April Newsletter 2013

Spring into Shape; APRIL 2013 NEWSLETTER

If you are reading this you are taking steps to improve your well-being. Congratulations! This month we focus on clearing and cleaning. Spring into Shape means starting a new routine; making time for yourself, family, & friends; work less–play more.

Spring time according to Chinese Medicine:
This is the time when the Liver is most active. Just like flowers are blossoming so is the Liver working to detoxify from the past year. Add berries to your diet. It is not by accident that nature produces berries at this time of year. Berries are know to aide in detoxification. Avoid being exposed to too much wind. At this time, the Liver is more susceptible to wind, which is the driving force for all disease. Wind is consider one of the “six evils.”  The Liver stores the negative emotions of anger, frustration, and rage.  The positive virtues of kindness and compassion.  Take an extra moment to do something nice for the people you love or a complete stranger.
Spring is a time for birth! 

This Spring has an incredibly evolutionary component. We are in the midst of powerful forces that are asking us to be conscious of how our choices and actions affect others. If you pay attention you will be able to see the big picture, accessing the subtle realms for guidance. This will help you to see where you can transform disempowering beliefs about yourself and the world at large. It is a time to choose your battles wisely, and to allow the Sacred Feminine and Masculine to show you a more peaceful way to proceed through your life. When we work with these archetypal energies they teach us how to experience more balance in our work.

 

Dedicated to increasing the health awareness of all.
Love & Gratitude,

Chris & Parisa Shelton and the Morning Crane Team

Cooking with Essential Oils Class

Come join us Friday, 4/5, 6:30-8pm as we prepare mouthwatering dishes with doTERRA’s Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils.

Essential Oils are a great substitute for dried or powdered spices, since dried spices have lost many of the liquid essential oils that impart much of the flavor, aroma and healthful benefits found in the natural plant.

BECOMING A DANGEROUS OLDER WOMAN

BECOMING A DANGEROUS  OLDER WOMAN

Click here to register or call 408-391-2846 today!

What does it mean to be an Older Woman in our society?  What is your experience?  You have lived a long life.  Do you experience empowerment, strength, wisdom, grace and a fierce love of life?  If not, let’s explore how you can discover that in your life.  If you do, come and share it with others.

 In many indigenous traditions aging is recognized as a Sacred Doorway.  It is the point in life where the pressures and obligations of early and mid-life are completed.  It is the time when Truth can be spoken.

 Now is the time to delve into the deep knowing of Self, and to bring that deep knowing to the larger world, modeling the knowledge, compassion and wisdom that can come from a life well lived.  It is the time to find the beautiful heart that is you.

 If you do not know how to access that aspect of your Being, join with a circle of Elder Women and share what you do know.  Let us all bring our Wise Women with us to create a Circle of Elders to support each other in experiencing our Deepest Selves.

 We will meet in circle and witness each other’s lives while supporting each other in our expression of Self.  The circle is ancient, it is in our bones, it is the way women have met for eons.  Come back to circle as you come back to yourself.

 All Women of menopausal or post-menopausal age are welcome to participate

 Our circles will happen every other Saturday from 3:00 till 5:00 on  3/16, 3/30, 4/13 and 4/27.  We will begin with a two month commitment and then decide as a group where we want to go from there.

$30 each or a package of 4 meetings for $85

WOMEN’S WISDOM- WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT

WOMEN’S WISDOM: WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT

 Click here to register at – or call 408-391-2846 today!

Ancient prophecies and modern mystics all agree on a very important aspect of the evolving consciousness that is taking place in our world: 

Women will be the new leaders of this unfolding consciousness and the emerging new world.

 What does this mean? How has Women’s Wisdom been suppressed and how can it be brought back into our lives?

Do you suppress what you feel?  Do you minimize or deny what you see and know? Do you not say what you want?   Does nobody in your life seem to notice? If you answer yes to any of these questions, allow a women’s circle to support you in changing theses patterns.

 The model for this study will be the circle – a women’s circle that is safe and egalitarian.  This learning opportunity will create a place that has trust as its center, and boundaries and respect as the core operating principles.  The circle is an ancient form where women get to witness each other, be role models and create deep connections and relationships.

Every woman contributes to the circle by her very presence.

Our circles will meet every other Saturday from 12:00 till 2:00 on 3/16, 3/30, 4/13 and 4/27.  We will begin with a two month commitment and then decide as a group where we want to go from there.

$30 each or a package of 4 meetings for $85

Click here to register at – or call 408-391-2846 today!

 Show up and choose to be present. Pay attention to what has heart and meaning. Tell the truth without blame or judgment. Be open to outcome, not attached to outcome.
