Exploring Our Psyche Through Dreams
Hosted by: The Holistic Professional Group at THE VIVA CENTER
Class Description: Attendees will learn the fundamentals of dream incubation and how they might be able to use it to address personal problems in their lives or integrate into clinical work. Adelle Deriquito will provide a brief overview of the origin of dream incubation that derives from ancient practices and Jungian therapy, and discuss how it has evolved in contemporary research.
Participants will learn practical and accessible steps in order to ask the dream maker for guidance. Adelle will share personal reflections and experiences that helped her to move beyond theory through her collection of dreams. She will invite participants to share the personal connections they have had to their dreams. They will leave with rituals, techniques, and the needed courage to make contact with their dreams.

Trauma-Informed Yoga Class
Information- Every Wednesdays (9 am-10 am) & Thursdays (8 am - 9 am)
Cost: $15 per class
Location: Virtual on mindbody.io
Class Description- The Trauma-Informed approach to yoga is one that emphasizes safety and empowerment. Each class will teach self-regulation skills specific to restoring serenity in the body and balance to nervous system response. The meditations, themes, and postures draw upon “choice” and connection to the body, emotions, and thoughts. Given the broad range of experiences that constitute trauma, there are no requirements to attend this class. This is for anyone seeking a gentle and sacred space to explore what it means to be embodied.
Mindfulness Meditation
Join me every Thursday at 5 PM EST for a transformative experience of journeying inwards.

Classes held from May-August 2020.
Weave in Love Tapestry Workshop
What does it really mean to love yourself? Learn to love yourself with your fullest expression at our "Weave in Love" Tapestry Workshop. Although Valentine's Day is only celebrated for one day, the act of loving oneself is an on-going journey, which takes creative acts of courage and vulnerability. Learning to love ourselves has the ability to heal and transform us. We invite you on this journey where we will explore this process through a powerful weaving and meditation class. No experience necessary, just come as you are.
