Lessons include engaging games that make training enjoyable and strengthen the bond between dog and human. This outdoor course runs for six weeks, is limited to five students, and costs $240. An $85 non-refundable deposit is required before the first session, with the remaining balance due on the first day, and the course is non-refundable.

Healing Breathwork & Soundbath with Gisela Mondays

Explore a guided breathwork and sound experience with Gisela Birnschein that encourages deep somatic release, a calmer nervous system, and expanded awareness. The session begins with gentle movement to open energy channels and relax the body. You will then rest on your back with blankets, bolsters, and an eye pillow while moving through a four-part breathing sequence that progresses from an introduction into release, then receiving, and finally trance. Sustained, deep breathing can lead to a highly oxygenated, altered state of awareness in which the mind softens and the body can process emotions, memories, trauma, and unconscious patterns in a supportive setting. The experience closes with a brief soundbath that uses soothing tones to settle the nervous system, deepen the process, and encourage balance. This practice may ease stored stress and tension, reduce anxiety, support trauma processing in the body, loosen limiting patterns, increase oxygen and vitality, sharpen clarity and intuition, promote deep relaxation and better sleep, open emotional awareness, expand spiritual connection, and restore equilibrium through sound. Please bring a yoga mat or something comfortable to lie on, a blanket and pillow, a water bottle, and an optional journal. An open mind and willing heart are welcome. The cost is $25, or $120 for a six-session series. Registration is available on Eventbrite or via Venmo at @Wahe-Kaur, with your name and email sent by text to 626-274-4953.
