Connecting to Crystal Energy For Beginners - Tourmalinated Quartz
The Connecting with Crystal Energy for Beginners class is perfect for those who are interested in learning how to work with crystal energy and cultivate their own ability to sense subtle energy at the same time.
Entering into right relationship with the crystal allies Mother Earth has provided is the cornerstone of this class. Once this is established, opening up your individual ability to sense the energy from the crystal or stone is the goal. We will be group meditating with the crystal (provided) that you can take home with you. There will be time for questions and shopping at the end of class.
Please do not wear or carry other stones or crystals on you during the class.
