RACHEL MUSQUIZ
Exploring Ayurveda: Connecting to the Elements in Mind, Body, and Spirit
Over 5000 years ago, the ancient Vedic texts outlined how to live a life of balance through movement, diet, and lifestyle. While Yoga focuses on movement and breath, Ayurveda focuses on food as medicine. Using the elements (earth, wind, air, fire, and water) as a framework, Ayurveda provides the wisdom to identify your personal constitution and create a lifestyle that supports an optimal experience in your mind, body, and spirit–that’s free of disease and full of joy! In this workshop, Rachel will introduce the main tenets of Ayurveda, guide you through a Dosha Quiz to identify your mind-body type, and explain how to recognize symptoms of imbalance.

SUZY SOULSHINE
Soulshine Rhythm Experience: An interactive journey into rhythmic bliss
The sun, the earth's source of energy and light, is made dependent on a certain order with its rhythmical motion. The Greek origin of the word “rhythm” is “to flow", and when we are in rhythm we experience the splendid order and amazing harmony in the order of the universe. From the phases of the moon, to the cycles of the tide, nature surrounds with its calming, steady pulse of rhythm. For centuries, the drum has been utilized as a tool for celebrating this rhythm of life, honoring traditions and bonding with community. Enjoy a journey into rhythmic bliss with Suzy Soulshine as your guide. Let us tap into our inner rhythm and enjoy the ancient, unifying experience of group drumming. Drums provided.
As a trained Drum & Rhythm Facilitator, I utilize the drum as tool for communication and personal expression, two very important elements in achieving mind/body integration and overall wellness. In my journey as a drummer and teacher, I have experienced firsthand, the remarkable healing power of rhythm. On a deeper level, group drumming builds bridges while fostering nurturing, support, camaraderie, self-respect and respect for others, and of course, joy. I can't wait to see you in the circle. Let's Play!
