The ART & HEART of Vibrant Living is a series of classes that immerse the participants in a wonderful array of nourishing and sensory-filled experiences. The intention of the session is to empower the class to rebuild and enhance their health, happiness and immune systems by redesigning their lives. The leaders gently coach each student to cultivate a more intimate, loving relationship with themselves.
What enriches our lives is explored and encouraged; while life-draining practices and attitudes are revealed and released.
Having had health challenges of her own, Nance Pettit (acupuncturist and psychologist) learned first hand how to maximize her connection with life. Some of the methods through which she accomplishes this are:
- heart centered meditative practices
- movement
- intentional breathing
- rest
- creativity
- being outdoors
- gardening
- home enhancement
- healing release techniques
- forgiveness
- body-loving sensual practices
Nance realizes that change happens through patience, self forgiveness and sustained focus. She loves compassionately guiding folks around as many rocks in the river as she can. We have all seen articles and lists of how to make changes to embrace life, but let's face it: doing so can be a big jump into the unknown!
This class bridges the gap between what we know is good for us, and how to actually incorporate these things into our lives. The bridge comes from seeing, tasting, hearing and smelling "Vibrant" ways of life and making a long term commitment to ourselves. Each evening in the series is an adventure in self healing and discovery.
For example, imagine being served a beautiful, organic, delicious and healthy meal with a demonstration of how to easily prepare it yourself. Next, imagine being led in a simple yet profound heart opening centering exercise that both relaxes you and helps you to cultivate your relationship to your ever present inner resources. Next, restorative ear acupuncture treatment designed for detoxification and rebalancing. And, for a cherry on top: prepare and experience a home spa treatment such as a salt rub with a flower petal infusion foot bath. All of this happens in an intimate, gentle, small group setting, creatively designed to inspire joyful experimentation and opening to the wonder of new possibilities.
Many of her prior students say this class was the best investment they ever made in their happiness and health.
