They are life-force "wheels" in the body that correspond with various aspects of our consciousness, such as survival, creativity, relationships, power, compassion, communication, intuition, and spiritual development. This workshop series helps to identify strengths and weaknesses in our own personal chakra system, and gives tools to balance our energy systems through art, yoga, breath work, meditation, and concentrated exercises. Participants can expect to journal, meditate, create chakra yantras (symbolic paintings), and learn transformational tools for healing. Both novice and experienced meditators and artists are welcomed.
