Portland Reiki Attunement
What is an Attunement? Most people channel energy through their hands. That is why if you bump your elbow, you immediately rub it with your hand to ease the pain.

Arts and Crafts Retreat
Art and Craft Retreat – May 2009 Participants at this retreat had a great time dying silk, beading and doing other craft projects. All came away with beautiful items they had made. Some learned the peyote beading technique and made beautiful, unique bracelets. It was a busy and fun-filled weekend. We did some drumming and dancing, and the weather was fantastic. The only problem was that there was too much to do, too many projects, and not enough time. I wish you could have been there. Find out more about past retreats from Mind Body Spa
