Music, Movement and More - Group classes and individual sessions available
Music, Movement and More is a joyful way for children to explore their creative self-expression through song, dance, rhyme, games, musical story telling, instrument playing, and props. It is designed to help children develop motor coordination, increase spatial and rhythmic awareness, and to help provide a positive learning experience. Music from various cultures and genres is used so everyone has a chance to find new music that inspires them and feeds their needs. Your child learns important musical "building blocks" like rhythm, beat, tempo, melody, perception, and memory. These activities provide powerful tools that impact your child's physical, social, emotional and intellectual development too.
Through this program your child can develop physical skills, channel energy, stimulate imagination, promote creativity and increase their self-esteem. Music, Movement and More provides children with opportunities for noncompetitive, success-oriented and creative experiences. All children can benefit, including children with communication, sensory, developmental or physical challenges.

Chakra Tuned Singing Quartz
Crystal Bowls
for Healing, Clearing and Empowerment
Quartz crystal singing bowls are an
exceptionally powerful method for healing on the spiritual, emotional, mental
and physical levels. Crystal bowls are made of crushed quartz crystals. Quartz
is composed of silicon dioxide, a compound that is also strongly present in the
human chemical structure. Thus, the vibration of crystal bowls help to
"re-tune" us on a cellular level to our own natural, healing
vibrations. The crystal bowls are a
powerful tool for clearing and dissolving energetic blockages and bringing in frequencies of light and optimum
healing. In addition they activate an atmosphere of inner peace, harmony, joy, love and grace and awaken an attitude of cooperation, gratitude, surrender and forgiveness.
Healing Aspects
Each part of the body has
a specific tone or set of tones that it resonates to. Disharmony can manifest
mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically. When our body is in
dis-ease, we are literally out of tune. Through the use of sound healing, we
can relax the body and mind, shift the vibration of the dis-ease or
disharmonious area to bring it back into harmony, allowing the body to heal and
balance itself.
One of the purposes of
vibrational healing is to help us shift our consciousness, returning us to our
natural state of being. When we combine the playing of the bowls with focused,
positive thought, the results are even more powerful. The crystal bowl's
vibrations magnify our thoughts, affirmations and intentions, infusing them
into our bodies on a cellular level. The power of positive intentions and
affirmations combined with the vibrational sound of crystal bowls provides
remarkable healing results on all levels.
Meditation
"If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes. Sound can redress imbalances on every level of physiologic functioning and can play a positive role in the treatment of virtually any medical disorder."
-Dr Mitchel Gaynor
