Join us for 6 weeks of exploring bodywork techniques to care for yourself and restore balance in your body and mind.
About this Event

Facilitated by Holly Calica, come join us at the West Berkeley Family Wellness Center as we delve into the art of self-care through bodywork. In this 6-week series, you will learn techniques to relax, release tension, and restore balance in your body and mind. Our sessions will ground us in the beauty of how a raakau (wooden dowel, branch and/or driftwood) can assist us in addressing our body, mind, spirit and whispers from our ancestors. To gain the most benefit, each of the six sessions builds upon the last, with a focus on different body parts. Join us each week for an opportunity to focus on your full body self-care at home. Wear comfortable clothes, bring a yoga mat or towel, journal or notebook and an open mind and heart.

*Yoga mats will be available
