The New Moon is the first phase of the Lunar cycle and known for new beginnings. When the Moon is completely dark in the sky and there is no light, it is the ultimate time to look to your inner light for answers. This is a great time to set intentions and plant seeds for the future. What are you ready to invite into your life?
This special class uses guided meditation, yoga, and sound healing to release what no longer serves us while manifesting abundance into your life. Audra will lead you through a guided meditation, followed by a gentle flow and Sound Bath with Quartz crystal bowls. Playing of the bowls produces deep vibrations that soothe your nervous system while balancing your energy centers and restoring your body’s natural rhythms.
We recommend bringing a journal, extra blanket, and pillow (for additional comfort during the sound portion).

Empower yourself by learning skills to help defend against an assault. Kajukenbo is a combination of five different martial arts. It is the blending of the "most lethal" aspects of karate, judo, jiu jitsu, Chinese kenpo, and kung fu.
In this one-day workshop participants will learn the first kajukenbo and kung fu self-defense techniques. Though heart rates will be raised and muscles will be sore, this is not a gym workout. Students are in the class to learn actual self-defense techniques that could help one day save their life.
The confidence you will gain from this course alone is worth the price of admission. You can expect partner work and close personal contact to simulate real-life situations, and because of this masks are required. All participants are responsible and supported in setting their own limits and comfort level.
Daughters should be at least 10 years old and be mature enough to handle adult subject matter or verbiage. Recommended attire: workout clothes.
