HEALING & BODYWORK

Published on

SATURDAY & SUNDAY, december 12tH & 13TH, 8:30 - 12:30

The first day begins with introductions and an activity to start sensing energy.  We will cover the training manual material: Reiki Basics, Principles & Precepts, The Traditional Reiki Story, and Self-Healing Technique, with time for questions and discussion.  After a short break, Teagan will conduct an attunement ceremony, attuning each student to the Reiki Energy so that you may access and channel Reiki energy for yourself and for others.  After the ceremony, we will allow time for meditation and journaling, setting intention for our Reiki practice.  The first day concludes with a guided practice to offer oneself a full Reiki self-healing session.  


When we reconvene for the second day, we will touch-base and see how everyone is feeling before reviewing the training manual material on Healing Others and Conducting Complete Reiki Sessions for Others.  Students will pair in partners, and Teagan will guide the group to practice offering Reiki Healing to another person.  After a short break, partners will switch roles as giver and receiver.  We'll take time to reflect and conclude with discussion  answering any remaining questions.  


Please wear comfortable clothes and bring journal, pen, water bottle and snack.  You may bring a crystal or special item to charge in the space. 


This eight-hour Level I Reiki Training prepares students to offer Reiki Energy Healing to themselves and to others, and to apply Reiki energy in day-to-day activities.  The investment is $225 and includes the Training Manual and Certificate of Completion,  Please contact Teagan via Whatsapp to register by December 8th.  +506 8605 9477  An Early Bird discount is available to those who register by November 18th--pay $200 and save $25.


teagan's Reiki Training & Certifications

I began my journey with Reiki somewhat inadvertently in 2008, accepting an invitation to join in Ann Twohig's level I training, which she had extended to the staff of the daycare where I worked in Las Cruces, New Mexico.  Skeptical at first, having never before heard of anything like Reiki, I approached the material with an open mind.  After completing the training and the intense attunement ceremony that left me feeling more light and peaceful than I could ever remember, I could not deny the practice's profound effect. I continued training in Costa Rica with Deva Mitra at Pachamama in 2011, and with Lori Lee Myles at Mystica in 2012 before completing the Master level course in the Usui/Tibetan Reiki system in 2013 with Michael Baird and Laurelle Gaia at Peace Place in Sedona, Arizona, becoming certified through The International Center for Reiki Training to teach Reiki and pass attunements.  I have taught Level I & II Reiki trainings through my yoga studio spaces in Playas del Coco, Costa Rica, and at The Boghill Centre in Clare, Ireland, and I have loved sharing this amazing healing energy with clients, students, friends, and family, whether in professional settings, in spontaneous makeshift locations throughout my travels, or in the comfort of one's home. The more I work with the energy, the more it continues to open new realms of understanding and healing and call me to deepen this lifelong practice.


Therapeutic Bodywork Training

Once I began working with clients on a regular basis offering Reiki Healing at my first yoga studio space, I started to notice that I was guided to specific bodypoints time and again, and felt inspired to pursue acupressure, reflexology, and other forms of healing bodywork to learn more about specific point systems and body structures. I began studies at McKinnon Body Therapy Center in Oakland, California in 2013, where I completed the Eastern Systems Program with Carl Johns and Jason Fry, and the Advanced Acupressure Program with Jason Frye and Kathleen Davis.  At McKinnon I fulfilled over 555 hours of bodywork training in Acupressure, Reflexology, Lymph Drainage, Shiatsu, and Swedish Massage, and explored the foundations of Tui Na and Craniosacral Therapy.  In 2015 I completed first-level certification in The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy with Eva Sengfelder in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, and in 2018 in Escazu, Costa Rica, I studied with Rose Erin Vaughan to complete first-level certification in Science of Self Acupressure, a system bridging Acupressure with Yoga.  I intend to continue study around how Acupressure and Yoga interplay and relate, and hope to explore more healing modalities in the years ahead.

Sessions start seated with a conversation to set intention, then Gaëlle may begin with guided breathing exercises and/or aromatherapy, which act as a physiological cue or invitation to enter into a state of serenity.  Accepting this invitation and allowing yourself to lie down comfortably, you will experience the vibrations of Tibetan singing bowls, the gong, Koshi chimes, and various other instruments whose frequencies encourage the nervous system into the parasympathetic mode for deep rest and recovery.  The experience of these sounds is pleasant and soothing, and they resonate on a primal level restoring coherence in the body’s rhythms. While different thoughts or emotions may  arise during the session, once the work is complete you may feel incredibly relaxed, at ease, centered, and calm.  Contact Gaëlle to book individual or group sessions. +506 8735 1464

The Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor speaks of two societies–the people of the Eagle who lead with the mind, orient toward industry and technology, and embody masculine energies as explorers and pioneers–and the people of the Condor who embody feminine energies, prioritizing heart over mind, and moving with intuitive and creative sensibilities guided by mysticism, a spiritual way of perceiving life and reality.  The prophecy refers to a time when human societies chose these divergent paths; the long time they never would intersect; the time when they would meet again, the Eagle overpowering and almost annihilating the Condor; and an overturning of time, a portal that brings both birds to fly together in a single sky, uniting and giving rise to a new human consciousness.

We’ll open with the introduction of facilitators and participants and an overview of how the ceremony will unfold.  Our activities will include:
  • Intentional sharing of cacao; 
  • Raising the sacred fire and calling upon the four guardian animals of the Andean Chakana; 
  • Explaining important elements of the Andean Cosmovision and the Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor; 
  • Energy cleansing and traditional Amazonian harmonization;​
  • And shamanic sound healing to integrate and appreciate our experience.  
Please bring water, a yoga mat, and an enthusiasm to immerse in the experience.   In the space there are mats for rent for c1,000, mats for sale for c10,000, and cushions and props free to use.   Bring what you need to care for yourself and be comfortable.

The Full Moon elevates our energetic state, heightening our intuition, expanding our receptivity, and magnifying our emotions.  It’s a time for introspection, emotional release, and spiritual growth, and also an extroverted time of celebration and communal connection.   We will begin our circle with an energy clearing to cleanse our individual energetic fields and harmonize the group.  We will partake in ritual cacao, connecting with its unique properties that elicit feelings of love, warmth, expansion, joy, and gratitude.  Our ceremony will reflect the tone of each month, and may include visualization, movement, mantra, writing, reflection, interpersonal engagement, and offering our intentions with candles, water, or an item at the altar.  Then we will relax and enjoy the healing vibrations of sound, encouraging inner calm, clarity, peace, and stability.  These community circles are a wonderful opportunity for personal alignment each month, uplifting ourselves and each other in a safe and supportive sacred space.

​Reiki Energy Healing regulates and balances energy flows, which may relieve pain from the physical body, stress from the mental body, burdens from the emotional body, and blocks from the spiritual body.  The Reiki Energy guides a healing sequence specific to the person’s present needs, and a treatment may include attention to the energetic field around the body, stationary holds or hand placements on the body, and gentle pressure at acupressure and reflex points.  These sessions induce deep relaxation, which shifts the nervous system from sympathetic to parasympathetic functioning, activating the body’s natural healing processes.  Wear comfortable clothing–natural fabrics are best–and expect to empty pockets, remove jewelry and belts, and undo the hair to experience the deepest level of comfort and allow the energies to cycle freely.  Sessions include sixty minutes of healing with time before and after to chat.  $80 per session or $280 for four sessions.  Contact Teagan to book.  +506 8605 9477

​"Abundance is a dance with reciprocity—what we can give, what we can share, and what we receive in the process". (Terry Tempest Williams)  Abundance is different from accumulation; abundance is dynamic, flowing exchange in generous, harmonious relationship.  While there is no requirement around the monetary aspect of our exchange, all aspects of our circle are meant to promote a greater sense of authenticity, mutual support, expansion, and appreciation.

​These sessions combine acoustic instruments with subtle binaural tones to support the nervous system and guide the brain toward states of calm, focus, and deep rest.  The soundscapes designed with care around the resonance and vibration of the handpan, encourage any stress to melt away, the breath to slow, and the mind to clear and still.  Generally these sessions are experienced lying down to allow the body to relax entirely, but they may be done seated if needed, finding the most comfortable position to feel supported, safe, and at ease.  While these sessions may evoke a release of held emotions, or illicit vivid inner imagery, ultimately they will induce a state of deep restorative rest.  Following a therapeutic sound session, people express feeling calm, clear-headed, emotionally balanced, and rejuvenated, some reporting improved sleep, reduced stress, and a stronger sense of inner connection.  Sessions last between 60 and 75 minutes, depending on the format and the needs of the participant.  $70 or $80 with Reiki.  Contact Oscar to book.  +506 6148 6437
