Healing With Art and Soul

Join Joan Forest Mage and her fellow authors for a celebration of their new book Healing with Art and Soul. Book signing and reception is Friday night, followed by a day of workshops in Expressive Arts Therapy.

Joan is one of forty contributors to this book, which contains the proceedings of a Conference on Expressive Arts Therapy at which Joan was a presentet in January 2006 in St. Petersburg FL. The practitioners came together as a tribe to create healing ritual through the arts.

The authors share their expertise as Expressive Arts professionals in theories and methods of how the arts - dance, music, visual art, singing, theater, poetry - can be used for healing and connection to soul.

The book has a special advance price of $60 (regular cost $75). Please contact Joan at joan@LifeForceArts.org or 773-327-7224 if you would like to purchase a copy.

Lauren Daniel: Thai Yoga Therapy

FOI member Lauren Daniel has an office in Chicago's Southwest Side. Reach her at (773) 953-8537

Here is what Lauren says about Thai Yoga Therapy: “The modality that I practice and offer to you is great for your muscular, circulatory, immune & nervous systems. I also serve to help those who hold stress in their bodies. The Thai bodywork I provide may calm the mind/body of athletes or those with desk jobs. It creates a welcoming, relaxing break to any day. The average session with me is 90 minutes. I work with clients using traditional Thai healing techniques, which are light & relaxing. Thai bodywork enhances overall well being, helps stimulate & balance internal subtle energies. In a typical session I may stretch my client into gentle yoga poses to improve flexibility. Along with providing Thai bodywork sessions, I teach weekly Kundalini yoga classes in Downtown Chicago."

Lauren is a member of Thai Healing Alliance, Yoga Alliance & IKYTA - International Kundalini Yoga Teacher's Association. She is a graduate of the Chicago School of Thai Massage.

Gift Certificates are available for Thai Body work sessions.
