SUMMARY:Sacred Healing Nourishment with Chrystal Nathal
DESCRIPTION:Sacred Healing Nourishment with Chrystal Nathal\nFriday August 29th 5pm to Tuesday  September 2nd 2pm\nNourishment is at the heart of our earthly experience.  Our bodies come from the earth and return when we die.  This precious human body is a vehicle to Awaken our full potential on earth.  Through attuning to our bodies with awareness and love, we can connect with our innate wisdom and interconnectedness with all of life.\nIn this course we explore cooking and eating as medicine, as we deepen our connection with the unconditional love, given freely by our Earth Mother.  In community we will cook together, in this spirit, and experience an ancient cacao ceremony to augment the healing of ourselves, each other, and our planet.\nWe will immerse ourselves in Healing Sound Meditation, with Tibetan singing bowls, and open our hearts and minds to whatever is ready for healing.\nThe Wangapeka Study and Retreat Centre is place of elemental nature and nurture, and there will be time to rest into this beauty during your time here.\nAbout Chrystal\nMy passion for healthy food started after several health issues.  As I was always busy praying and meditating, I did not pay attention to my food, I thought that I was eating healthy, not knowing that I had candida and sugar was not healthy for me.\nI met Dr. Amy Rachel in Bali and she was my first teacher who helped me understand what kind of food is healthy for me. After an intense year of detoxing my strength and energy came back.\nI lived at the New Earth cooking school in Bali where I learned different ways of cooking.  For me, food needs to be a medicine, and preparing the food is a meditation. Not too complex or difficult, and made with love.\nGifted from birth with a healing connection to the Divine realms, Chrystal was born in Holland but now lives her life abroad, guided by intuition and traveling the world to serve individuals, couples, and groups with her “healing touch” and Tibetan singing bowls.\nChrystal was invited to join a Shamanic Sound Healing Circle, where she was first introduced to the Tibetan Bowls. Following a series of prophetic dreams, a friend presented her with two master bowls made especially for her by a Lama in Tibet.\nThis gift provided the catalyst for a life-long love affair with Tibetan Bowls, which has evolved into her healing practice and training workshops for practitioners of this ancient sound healing tradition.\nAt a young age, Chrystal came to realize that life is incomplete without mediation and silent contemplation, which move us toward the realization of ultimate compassion and love.  While embracing this spiritual journey, she also completed a seven-year Chakra Healing Program.\nShe is highly regarded in the healing work that she does.\nCosts\nCosts for Food, Cooking and Accommodation:\nMembers: $428 (plus Dana)\nNon-Members: $468 (plus Dana)\nDana\nDana means generosity.  It is a gift freely given, with no strings attached.\nThe course fee covers food, accommodation and course resources.  Chrystal offers this course freely and there is no fee to her included in the costs.\nYou are invited to give generously, within your means, to offer Chrystal Dana. This will support her work teaching.\nIf you would like to offer Dana to Chrystal, please bring cash and it can be placed anonymously in the Dana box, in the main hall. Traditionally, this is done at the beginning of the course.\nInformation and Registration\nAny enquiries please contact the course manager, Kath Mitchell.  mitchell.kath@gmail.com\nTo register please fill out our online registration form\nRegister now\nPlease consider becoming a Wangapeka member – click here for details.\nImage Credit: Brooke Lark on Unsplash\n
