Whether you are currently considering becoming a Certified Breema Practitioner, are totally new to Breema, or are an experienced student, this weekend is a perfect opportunity to nourish your body, mind, and feelings through Breema bodywork, Self-Breema exercises, and Breema's universally applicable practical philosophy.
In four unique 3-hour workshops, we will introduce Breema’s Nine Principles of Harmony, with a particular emphasis on the principle of No Hurry, No Pause. When we hurry or pause, we are out of harmony, and we lose vitality and become tense. Registering the body’s weight and breathing is a simple step we can take to come out of the mechanical level of the mind and emotions to the present. By working with this principle, we don’t drain our energy with concerns of the past and future, and become available for what is in front of us in each moment.
You can participate in the entire weekend, or attend just one or more of the four workshops. Pre-registration is required. Call or email the Breema Center for more information.
We follow current California State and Alameda County COVID guidelines.
CE is available for massage therapists and bodyworkers, nurses, LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs, and LEPs. $10 fee for processing .
