Debbie Good-Krochok is a long-time belly dance student and performer. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned dancer, come share this ancient art form that is graceful, sensual, flowing, and fun. Belly dancing was originally created by women for other women, especially women in labor who would hopefully be influenced by the undulating hip motion to deliver more easily.

Energy Belly Dance Fusion is inspired by the workshop Debbie participated in at Omega, taught by professional belly-dancers Dondi and Titanya Dahlins, Donna Eden’s daughters. This year Debbie will enhance our dance experience with special scarves!

Like a "moving yoga," Gyrokinesis gently works the joints and muscles through rhythmic and undulating exercises. It also stimulates the nervous system, opens up the energy pathways, and oxygenates the blood. It can be done by anyone of any age at any level of fitness!

As she entered her 50's, Lisa found that not only was she getting injured doing the workouts she had always done, but she was getting bored! Synchronicity worked NIA into her life soon after, when she happened into a NIA class on vacation. NIA's blend of dance, healing and martial arts resonated with her, was fun and felt great! Now, as a certified Brown Belt NIA teacher, Lisa provides the music and the moves for you to experience the joy of NIA and express yourself in your own way, no matter what your age or experience. NIA tones your body while transforming your mind. More than just a workout, NIA is a holistic fitness practice addressing each aspect of your life - body, mind and soul.

Lisa is currently teaching classes on Zoom on Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. and Saturdays at 9 a.m.

For more information about NIA, classes and locations go to nianow.com or www.lisarude.com.

Sherri has devoted most of her life to practicing, volunteering, and teaching healing modalities that create an inner space of calm and joy for restoration, transformation, and healing.

Sherri has been practicing the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) for 2 decades and will be presenting an EFT introduction and a group practice. EFT is an effective body-mind-emotional practice that uses tapping on acupressure to reduce or release discomfort from anxiety, fear, stress, worry pain, etc. Calm and balance is restored, creating an inner space for healing.

In 1995, Sherri learned reiki in Tokyo, and continued her reiki journey with North American and international reiki masters. She teaches the Japanese System of Reiki which focuses on self healing, peace of mind, and an open heart, all which frees us from distractions such as fear, anger, worry, and judgment, and sets the foundation for happiness and oneness with all.

Sherri also creates personalized guided meditations and, by combining geometric patterns and hand-selected crystal stones, creates customized healing grids for individuals and situations.

Other healthy “wellness tools” that support her wholeness and well-being are positive thought, kindness, love, eating well, and being physically active. She loves “The Power of Now” (Eckhart Tolle), the magnificence and healing force of nature, and the practice of “Speak the Truth – Listen Deeply” (Gregory Kramer).

In Sherri’s personal life, private practice, and in teaching, her focus is on empowerment, discovery, healing, and transformation.

Sherri can be reached at 847-910-0537, sasimpson@comcast.net, and on Facebook: Reikiflow North Shore
