Acupressure for Self Care
Seva Stress Release Part One (3 hours $60)
This three hour class teaches an acupressure protocol (The Seva Stress Release) that can be used for self-care, addressing a wide range of needs, including general relaxation and well being or extreme shock and stress. This workshop does not require previous bodywork experience. Anyone can learn this simple but effective way to help themselves. This dynamic and interactive workshop allows the participant to fully experience the Seva Stress release through demonstration and hands-on practice. Workshop participants learn a unique touch method, various effective acupoints and how to use this protocol for self care. In this workshop participants learn about the healing and transforming power of acupressure, practice techniques to use for self-care, learn Chakra Tai Chi, and take home skills they can use for the rest of their life.

Seva Stress Release: Part Two (3 hours $60)
This is part two of our introductory training. Our special form of acupressure touch is reviewed, and students learn to give acupressure to others. The Seva Stress Release is demonstrated and practiced in two new ways: seated in chairs and lying comfortably on massage tables. After taking modules one and two, students have enough information and skill to practice easily on themselves, as well as with family and friends.

These two modules (or a complete 6 hour Seva Stress Release workshop) comprise the pre-requisite for taking any of the remaining Acupressure for Anyone workshops.

Acupressure for Anyone Workshop Descriptions: Continuing Education Units Available

Great Central Channel Alignment (3 hours $60)
The Great Central Channel is among the first energetic patterns developed in the body in utero. It travels along the spine to the top of the head, and up the midline on the front of the body to the face. Points along this channel are extremely potent, and have been used for thousands of years for balancing and healing. In Chinese Medicine it is said that human beings are the bridge between heaven and earth. This acupressure formula for the Great Central Channel enhances and strengthens this alignment—bringing balance, ccomfort and ease to the receiver. At this workshop students give and receive the Great Central Channel Release and learn Chakra Tai Chi, a special movement meditation developed by Aminah Raheem, Ph.D., the founder of Soul Lightening Acupressure.

Pre-requisites: Seva Stress Release: Part One & Part Two

Formulas for Balance & Harmony (3 hours $60)
The most fundamental principles of Chinese Medicine are based in establishing and maintaining balance and harmony throughout the whole being—bodyy, mind, emotions, and spirit. When this is attained we are vibrant and healthy, all our systems are working together well, and we can live life to the fullest. The acupressure formulas introduced in this module are specially created to help us reclaim this sense of well-being. By holding these special point combinations we provide an opportunity for the system to recalibrate itself–allowing for the extremes of life to balance out, and returning us to our natural state of harmony. Using these formulas regularly creates a steady baseline of well-being. Once we know how to attain balance and harmony on a regular basis, it is much easier to address the occasional symptoms and disruptive patterns that arise in daily living. During this workshop you will practice locating points and reading the formulas. You will also give and receive a full acupressure session.

Pre-requisites: Seva Stress Release: Part One & Part Two

Head and Neck Formulas (3 hours $60)
In our culture a high priority is placed on being able to think and respond quickly and clearly—-not just intellectually, but physically, emotiionally and spiritually as well. The free flow of energy in the head and neck is crucial for obtaining and maintaining this clarity. In this workshop we introduce three acupressure formulas that will help open the pathways of communication between the head and the rest of the body. Students will learn and practice the Basic Neck Release, the Head Formula, and the Special Headache Release.

Pre-requisites: Seva Stress Release: Part One & Part Two

Back, Abdomen & Chest Formulas (3 hours $60)
It is said that the torso of the body, including the back, abdomen and chest, is where we store the records of our lives. In broad terms, the majority of our physical processes are centered here, but on another level the torso completely reflects the core of who we are. The acupressure formulas learned in this module bring a clearer, stronger flow of energy through the torso. Students learn and practice the Back Formula, The Chest Formula, and the Abdominal Formula.

Pre-requisites: Seva Stress Release: Part One & Part Two

Formulas for the Arms & Legs (3 hours $60)
Every energy pathway that originates in the core of the body flows outward to the arms, legs, hands and feet. This makes the hundreds of acupoints on the extremities very useful for addressing the "hole being." In this workshop students learn and experience how these acupressure formulas that benefit the arms and legs also support the emotions and provide a sense of well-being and stability. A special Muscle Relaxation Formula is included in this module.

Pre-requisites: Seva Stress Release: Part One & Part Two

Cold and Flu Formulas (3 hours $60)
Learn how to support the body's natural ability to ward off colds and flu with our Immune/Lymph Booster Formula. This is a wonderful tool for supporting the immune system whether you are just beginning to feel symptoms, or have already come down with something. It is also a wonderful way to address common allergy symptoms. Students will also learn the powerful Sinus/Ear Formula.

Pre-requisites: Seva Stress Release: Part One & Part Two

Learn practices to strengthen the trust and wisdom of your inner self.

"I use my "Integrating the Seasons" information whenever I feel out of touch with myself. No matter what the season, I find useful and timely information that helps bring me back "home" to myself. the booklet never fails to give me some sort of insight into myself and what is going on in my body and spirit, especially during the season transitions. Thank you Two Friends for such a lovely reference from the class....it is an invaluable addition to my "tool" chest!"~Kes

Integrating the Season Workshops are held at Copper Penny Ranch • W5798 State Road 23 • or at the Two Friends Healing Studio at 5 Main Street in downtown Montello Wisconsin from 10 am to 4 pm. Bring a lunch, or if held at 5 Main, there are restaurants close by. Coffee, tea and water are provided.

Invite 4 people and schedule your workshop at the Ranch!

Beginning Chakra Workshop- 4 hrs $65

Did you know in much of the world it is believed that illness and "dis-ease" shows up in our energy body before we have the symptoms in our physical body? Learn about your personal energy system and how to support it. Balance these "wheels of light" with Chakra Tai Chi. This is a great beginning class to get an understanding of how our energetic bodies work with us and keep us healthy.

Creating a Personal/Family Sacred Space- 2hrs $35

Every household should have Sacred Space. Locate your special quiet, peaceful Sacred Space in your home or garden. Create a "travelling" sacred space. Give yourself and your family a location to step aside from the daily hectic pace and reflect and rejuvenate. A guided meditation is part of this lovely class on the sacredness we need to celebrate in our lives.

Using a Pendulum as a Working Tool- 2hrs $35

Dousing has been used by civilized people from ancient times. A pendulum is one tool that is often used to sense blocked energy, find answers to questions, and even find lost items. In this workshop students will learn how to work with a pendulum.

Making Spirit/Memory Dolls- 4hrs $65

When you make your spirit/memory doll, whether for yourself or as a gift, the idea is to be mindful, perhaps even prayerful, of her purpose. The act of making a doll can take a person through a process of creative imagination, growth and healing. Within the hearts of these dolls, personal life stories of honesty, self-awareness, and human potential are to be found, seen and shared.

Stitching, stuffing, winding, wrapping, and embellishing encourage the doll's personality to emerge. Doll making for personal growth may be a process of healing and self-discovery. Making these dolls help people come to terms with, and mend, pain and loss, or deal with deep-rooted fears. Also, doll making can help you heal at physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. Your doll will be very crude and simple. Gather materials that call to you then state your intention as to why you are making this doll.

Doll shape, some fabric, lace, leather, ribbons are available to start your creation. Need an activity for a small group or family group? This is a great one.
