Val Leoffler – 831 426-2063

Bruce Manaka– author of “Flights of a Runaway Monk” spent 19 years in a monastery living a life of meditation and contemplation. In his work with sound, he uses ancient vocal overtone techniques, combined with crystal singing bowls, didgeridoo, flutes, and other instruments that create resonant frequencies to entrain the body and mind into the deepest states of trance and relaxation. He demonstrates how certain sounds and their harmonics create pathways to enhanced awareness of the heart’s natural love and creativity. www.manakastudios.com

Val Leoffler – registered somatic movement therapist and educator, integrative bodywork and Trager practitioner and Continuum Movement Teacher is celebrating 30 years of private practice in healing & bodywork, teaching movement to individuals, classes and groups. www.innerdance.com
