3:15-4:30 P.M. Muscle Activation
Technique and Pain
Dawn Kirby
location: TBA
Have you “tried everything,” and are now considering surgery
to deal with pain? Are you considering beginning a new
workout routine and want to avoid injury? Or just tired
or living with everyday pain? Learn why Muscle Activation
Technique (MAT) is having success in reducing pain and injuries
where other modalities have failed.
Unlike other forms of soft-tissue bodywork MAT looks at muscle
tightness as a form of protection in the body. Weak or inhibited
muscles can create the need for other muscles to tighten up
in order to help stabilize the joints. MAT gets to the root
of pain or injury by addressing muscle weakness rather than
muscle tightness. This helps to restore normal body alignment,
thereby, decreasing pain and reducing the risk of injury.
Dawn Kirby, CMT, has been a body worker since 1991. She
is a certified massage therapist and holds advanced certifications
in SHEN Emotional Release Therapy, Myofascial Release Techniques,
and Sports Massage. She is currently an intern with the
Muscle Activation Technique Institute in Denver, CO. She
teaches Neuromuscular Therapy, Deep Tissue Massage and Sports
Massage to massage students and has a successful private practice
working with tri athletes and people living with chronic pain
in the Denver area.
4-5:00P.M. Singing in Sacred Circle
location:
chapel
Singing In Sacred Circle is an opportunity to look into
your sister's eyes and share voice and spirit through song.
While learning short, repetitive women-centered and earth-based
songs from a variety of traditions, power rises from the
center of the circle as all voices create an energy that is both empowering and healing.
This opportunity is intended to allow women, regardless of singing experience,
to share their voices in a noncompetitive, relaxed safe space.
Come sing along!
(Please bring some water. Percussion instruments are
welcome as well!)
Shelley Graff is a teacher/healer who believes her sacred
journey is guiding her to share the Singing In Sacred Circle
experience with other women. Shelley's newest CD, Fire On
The Arrow, was inspired by and is a tribute to the healing/sounding
work of the living spirit of the late Kay Gardner. www.shelleyg.com
