Eriyo's first workshop at RBR, Light, Wind & Earth, was completely sold out so we are bringing her back at your request. Those of you who could not get in the first, here is your chance!

The purpose of this workshop is to pay attention to your inner voice and know yourself at deep level. Total expression using a variety of art forms such as dancing, drum circle, painting, and making poems with music as well as breathing exercises, stretching, and meditation help you to reduce stress and increase self-understanding. It brings you a peace of mind and deep relaxation, without judgment, accepting your whole self with love. Please wear something comfortable to dance.
