The word Reiki (Ray-key) is Japanese and means “Universal Life Energy”. Reiki is literally the life force of the universe which comes from the Source of all Energy. Reiki can be part of integrative medicine by supporting the healing process for patients with varied concerns.

A Reiki l attunement is a process in which a Reiki Master Teacher performs a ceremony that attunes the student to receive Reiki energy for their personal use and to use it for others. Reiki enhances the body’s natural healing abilities and promotes overall well-being, pain relief, relaxation and peacefulness. 

Participants’ experiences include extreme relaxation, pain relief, awareness of inner wisdom, emotional release, clarity and insight.

During this introduction to the process of meditation, participants will be offered the basic theory of the meditation practice, methods of establishing an individualized meditation seat/posture, methods of relaxation, methods of breath practice, and experiences that will prepare participants to begin their meditation journey. This class is for anyone who is new to meditation or those who would like a refresher to bring themselves back to meditation.

These three sessions will invite participants to build their practice from class to class in a specific sequence with emphasis on the experiences of their meditation. Meditation offers an opportunity for self care of the mind and spirit, an opportunity to rest more fully, an opportunity for a change of pace set by our current and past distractions.

In this three-session Beginning Meditation course with Certified meditation Instructor Rita Darabosh, you will learn the following:

-The asana postures for establishing stillness in a seated position –the five qualities of healthy diaphragmatic breathing

-Systematic relaxation methods –the secret of stilling the “monkey” mind

-The mantra/sound that establishes a smooth and continuous breath

Meditation class meets for 3 consecutive Wednesdays

A wonderful opportunity for a community of women to experience personal growth, listening and reflection.

This circle is a place where all are equal

Within every adult, there exists a part of them that retains the emotions, experiences, and perspective of their childhood self. This inner child can influence one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in adulthood, often manifesting in patterns of behavior, emotional reactions, and unresolved issues stemming from childhood. Exploring and understanding the inner child is often a key aspect of therapy and personal growth, as it can lead to healing past wounds, fostering self-compassion, and promoting emotional well-being.

Join our Women Arise Circle focusing on Inner Child. 

We will address the impact of childhood hurt and trauma on confidence, inner strength, and self-worth. Through compassionate listening and sharing, we create a nurturing space for healing to commence. Connect with a community of supportive women and experience the safety of a healing environment.

Our circle honors speaking from the heart, honestly and openly. A safe place of non-judgment and confidentiality. A place to speak your truth and be heard or to just listen to others.

We will collectively speak to the question or topic. Listening fully with a willingness to grow, being open to the wisdom in each person, speaking from your own experience, thoughts, and feelings.

Women Arise offers a supportive space where women unite to converse and actively listen to one another with compassion and gratitude, fostering the initial stages of healing. Join a community of women who share similar values, forge new friendships, and experience the security of a nurturing environment conducive to healing.

Rita Darabosh, Reiki Master Teacher, Advanced Acupressure Practitioner, and teacher of wellness and self-care modalities will guide this beautiful experience. You may contact Rita with any questions at
