The Body Keeps the Score: A Mind-Body Meditation Workshop

This workshop, led by Ann Elizabeth Byrne from Hudson Valley Meditation & Reiki, is inspired by The Body Keeps the Score by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk and focuses on understanding the connection between awareness, breath, and the body.

Ann begins with a simple explanation of the book's main ideas, followed by a slow, grounding guided meditation.  Reiki energy is offered during the meditation to support nervous system balance and a sense of safety.  Singing bowls are then used to encourage deeper relaxation and ease.  The workshop ends with time to reflect and notice what you are taking with you.

No prior experience and no familiarity with the book is required.
