Atlas Evolution is a revolutionary technique based on the combination of ancient Chinese medicine and recent breakthroughs in the art of healing.In most people the top cervical vertebra (called atlas) is misaligned causing a myriad of problems. During the treatment space is being created in the soft tissue, especially where the soft tissue attaches to the hard tissue. The atlas and all the other vertebrae can thus return to their natural place with lasting stability. The results are felt for years to come. Most people have a significant improvement in their posture, range of motion from side to side, and up and down, as well as an enhanced brain function immediately after the treatment. The flow of energy throughout the whole body increases greatly, activating a self healing process and supporting growth on all levels: physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual.  A new sense of freedom is felt after the pressure is taken away from the spinal cord.

The arising and ceasing of emotions profoundly affects our quality of life. How we relate to our emotions influences how we relate to and affect others. This 9 week experiential course weaves together modern and ancient wisdoms to help us deepen our capacity for intimacy by relating compassionately to ourselves as we are in the moment.

• biology and psychology lend new appreciation to the range of human emotions, the events that stimulate them, and the responses motivated by each emotion
•  neuroscience and meditative traditions provide incomparable techniques to ease afflictive emotions and help us hold the richness of our feelings with equanimity
• interpersonal communication practices will help foster intimacy, even during conflict, by developing a uniquely personal way of communicating that is in alignment with our deepest intention

Each Week there will be a short introduction of the multidisciplinary foundational to the session’s topic followed by mindfulness and interpersonal communication practices. Together we will explore the nuances of intra- and inter- personal dynamics as we find that all manner of experience is welcome within the compassionate embrace of awareness. This all-encompassing welcome frees us from reactivity, opening previously unimaginable response options.

Multidisciplinary information is succinctly introduced to simultaneously satisfy the inquisitive mind and to point directly back to the practice of compassionate relating.
