 Caely-Ann is back from her travels & booking people & sessions for next week!
• This Friday night, there’s Kirtan at Hemma:
Join us for a special kirtan at the height of the light on Summer Solstice! With Kelly, Tia, and Damian, and guests Ty Chandler and Christopher Simons!
Friday, June 21st at 7:30-9:00pm
Kirtan is a form of Bhakti (devotional) Yoga where community gathers to share in call-and-response chanting, therein discovering that which unites us to each other. Most of the chants are in the ancient but timeless Sanskrit language. These sounds vibrate within the physical and subtle body, quieting the mind and purifying the heart. No experience is necessary, and song sheets are provided.

Join Carolyn with Access Consciousness!

You’ve wondered about Access Consciousness…and so have I!
New to the SOV Directory is Carolyn Sinclair, who offers sessions as well as classes – here’s more about what attracted her to this:
When I was introduced to Access Consciousness I felt like I was coming ‘home.’
I have studied and/or certified in a number of other energy healing modalities and used them for over ten years – Access Bars and Access Consciousness tools and processes are, for me, way happier, quicker, more potent and more yummy!! I’d love to share them with YOU. 
Would like like to change something in your life? Like your life? (or money, relationships, job, health, body, family, etc.) 
Are you stuck somewhere? What if now were the time to change that? 
You are invited to explore and expand and experience possibilities for every area of your life with the tools of Access Consciousness!  
There are many facets to Access Consciousness, from de-fragging your mind with Access Bars to assisting your body to heal with Body Processes and there is always the delicious Access Energetic Facelift!

At the Museum…the Maya!

And now for something completely different – the exhibit at the Royal British Columbia Natural History Museum, spotlighting the Maya. I got a chance not just to see it, but saw it with a friend who wanted to spend most of the day at the museum with the exhibit. The level of detail…amazing.

It’s there until December 31st, and I’m looking forward to hearing what intuitive friends pick up from the artifacts & stories from hundreds of years ago, of a people whose civilization had some 19 million people but nearly disappeared within the tenth century.

The museum’s website has more:

Join us for the world premiere of Maya: The Great Jaguar Rises—an extraordinary exhibition highlighting Maya civilization past and present.

On the heels of last year’s record-breaking Egypt: The Time of Pharaohs, this major new feature spotlights the mystery, legacy and resilience of another of the world’s great civilizations: the Maya of Central America.

Discover a powerful culture that rose in the tropical rainforest

s of Guatemala thousands of years ago, and learn how science and belief shaped the Maya identity from ancient times to present day.

The exhibition boasts the world’s largest and most impressive display of Maya objects from Guatemala, and features more than 300 precious jade, ceramic, gold, stone and textile artifacts reflecting classic and contemporary Maya culture.

This exhibition coincides with UNESCO’s Year of Indigenous Languages and highlights the 30 Maya languages that are still spoken today by almost half the population of Guatemala.

Harmonic Resonance Bodywork starts here!

I’ve known Ian Faulkner for a while, and have had several uplifting sessions with him – I love what he does! I asked him to describe in a few words what he offers:
Harmonic Resonance Bodywork, based on Trager, is “movement medicine,” a heart centred, pain-free healing therapy which is very effective for restoring mobility after injury, boosting immunity, and helping with stress through relaxation and meditation. 
It is a blend of the gentle rocking movement therapy of Dr. Milton Trager MD, Massage, Sufi and Buddhist healing methods, as well as Matrix Energetics. It’s a wholistic bodywork, invented in Victoria in 2010. You are fully clothed in flexible clothing such as yoga clothes or soft pants and top. 
Optionally it can be combined with organic coconut oil massage.
One of the reviews on Ian’s profile gives you an idea:
“Thank you, Ian, for introducing me to your Harmonic Resonance Bodywork. It really helped lessen the tension I had in my back and neck. Your suggestions for optimum health were very helpful, too. I feel you are someone who has a lot of first-hand experience and knowledge to share, plus you are a gifted healer and Trager practitioner.”
