Join Mervyn in this rare opportunity to transform your subtle energy and energize your life. If you're interested in meditation modalities of sound, movement, play and trauma release, then this is a workshop you'll greatly benefit from.
This series begins with a unique opportunity to explore the complex harmonics, overtones and energy frequencies of the gong with sound vibration affecting us at the finer level of our being. Moving Meditation, attuning our breath to the flowing movements of our bodies. This is followed by a playful jaunt into expressive healing modalities, allowing us greater freedom of being, and culminating with a dive down into the oft-hidden and lesser experienced parts of our consciousness that can prevent one from fully actualizing our existence. Experience all four journeys (or parts thereof) for a comprehensive foray into a fuller, deeper expression of Self!

Mervyn Alphonse - Yoga instructor, Reiki master, and sound healing facilitator - has been offering Yoga, Meditation, and Sound Healing experiences for over 10 years.
This workshop releases the ties that bind, so to speak.We will dissolve through our oft-calcified self-images to unveil the inner being in all its playful and prayer-ful glory, in safe company of others that are revealed to be just that – other versions of one’s Self. This is achieved via synergistic exploration of healing and expressive modalities such as Yoga, pantomime, reflective energy work, moving meditation, sound healing, and sound circles.
Breathe. Flow. Vizualize. Animate. Rejoice
