Aura Cleansings and Chakra Balancing (2 part workshop) Brad Murphey & Teresa Frank Brad and Teresa will be teaching a 2 day, hands-on workshop about working with Pranic energy. This is an experiential workshop on aura cleansing, and chakra cleansing and balancing. Chakras, in Hindu metaphysical tradition and other belief systems, are centers of Prana, life force, or vital energy. Chakras correspond to vital points in the physical body, i.e. major plexuses of arteries, veins and nerves. When your chakras are not balanced or become blocked over time, you will feel a physical and/ or emotional response. When your chakras are in a balanced state you will feel calm and peaceful, less susceptible to stress and anxiety. You will find that it is also easier to focus and make decisions. We’ll experiment with ways to recognize auras and locate Chakras and what the practitioner might experience, as well as the subject. We’ll work with ways to balance the energy centers, cleansing them and keeping them in good working order. Brad Murphey and Teresa Frank of Murphey’s Midnight Rounders - are 3rd Degree Wiccans (Minnesota Eclectic Tradition) and ordained ministers. They follow the Norse path of their ancestors. mmrmusic/ .

Crossing the threshold of leadership is not only about claiming a position of leadership, but about letting go of our former way of being—letting go of the privilege of being only a participant.

Join us as we begin to discover the essence of what it is to truly become a leader and explore some specific ways to better serve or support our communities and groups.
