Reiki will not interfere with any medical treatment you are receiving. In fact, you will find self-healing with Reiki is a wonderful addition to medical care. It can decrease stress often times associated with chronic or acute medical conditions. This will support the mind and body to heal while enlivening the spirit to feel whole again.
If you are feeling anxious, you will feel calmer. When you calm the nervous system, your mind and body will relax. This creates a chain of events to help bring you back into balance. It will calm your nerves before a big test or public speaking. Stuck in traffic, a few moments of Reiki will help you to be in a more grounded place when you finally reach your destination. Just five or ten minutes of Reiki a day will help you to move into your day feeling centered, at peace and energized. Benefits of Reiki

Reiki Kids is a program to support our children on their spiritual journey. We are at a time on our planet where it is crucial to support children and honor their new way of being.
Reiki Kids WorkshopChildren are open channels of energy and are particularly receptive to spiritual understanding and experience. They are aware and intuitive with the ability to incorporate new ways of connecting with themselves, others and the world. Children naturally love to help and receive great joy by using Reiki, offering their love to their family through the gift of hands-on healing.
About this WorkshopThis course is for children to get in touch with subtle energy and learn simple methods of using Reiki. An attunement is offered during this workshop, the acceptance of which is entirely up to the child. The emphasis is placed on experiencing Reiki and putting words and feelings to this experience through art, movement and sound. The workshop is conducted in a child friendly environment. Parents are welcome to stay in a helping capacity. There will be creative work and physical play. As such, comfortable clothes are essential.

Zen Baby Practice for mommy, daddy and baby-to-be!
Reiki is an energy therapy that works with the body’s own remarkable healing capabilities. It helps to promote and accelerate the natural healing process and restore balance on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
Self-healing with Reiki can be done safely for pregnant women. It does not cause any harm to the mother or her unborn baby, therefore making it safe to be used not only during all stages of pregnancy, but also from conception right through to childbirth. The body and mind of an expectant mother go through a lot of changes during pregnancy. The energy balance in her body and mind (emotional balance) is under constant pressure, potentially weakening her physically and emotionally. Self healing with Reiki during pregnancy can help balance her energy and clear her body, mind and spirit. This can help her relax deeply and enable her to react quickly to all body and lifestyle changes with ease. Reiki can be highly beneficial in helping her pregnancy to develop in a stable, balanced and natural manner. Seek a doctor's attention if you notice anything unusual or feel out of the ordinary. Reiki is great to be used in conjunction with midwives and any other professional in your birthing team.

Come with one book choice for members to read. Any genre is welcome. Meet fellow lovers of the written word and enjoy engaging conversation. All within a cozy environment at TTOHC. July 28th's book is "The Story of Beautiful Girl" by Rachel Simon. It is 1968. Lynnie, a young white woman with a developmental disability, and Homan, an African American deaf man, are locked away in an institution, the School for the Incurable and Feebleminded, and have been left to languish, forgotten. Deeply in love, they escape, and find refuge in the farmhouse of Martha, a retired schoolteacher and widow. But the couple is not alone-Lynnie has just given birth to a baby girl. When the authorities catch up to them that same night, Homan escapes into the darkness, and Lynnie is caught. But before she is forced back into the institution, she whispers two words to Martha: "Hide her." And so begins the 40-year epic journey of Lynnie, Homan, Martha, and baby Julia-lives divided by seemingly insurmountable obstacles, yet drawn together by a secret pact and extraordinary love.

Come watch a powerful and inspirational movie with your like-minded friends! Everyone is welcome as we enjoy an uplifting movie and share enlightening conversation. We are offering a safe environment to share our thoughts and ask questions around spirituality and our connection to the world. July 28th's movie is "Eat Pray Love." Liz Gilbert (Roberts) had everything a modern woman is supposed to dream of having - a husband, a house, a successful career - yet like so many others, she found herself lost, confused, and searching for what she really wanted in life. Newly divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery. In her travels, she discovers the true pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India, and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of true love in Bali.

Sometimes we have issues, problems or things we need to discuss, ideas or thoughts that we need to share. Sometimes those notions or problems are something that, no matter how much we try to discuss it, a woman, our significant other, mother, wife or girlfriend just wouldn't understand. If you try to talk to another male, he may scoff making light of it, or tease you about being concerned about something "like that".
Be honest, do you really have a circle of friends, male or female, that you can discuss personal problems with? So, you either dismiss it as trivial, or you find some way to mask it. You don't need to do that. Our men's group will be a place of safety, comfort, trust and support. We are here to discuss men's issues pertinent and relevant to men. We do this among friends in an atmosphere of camaraderie and trust. Please join us as we help each other navigate the sea of men's problems and try together to find a safe harbor of suggestions and skills to cope with these problems. - You will recognize how males are approaching a problem and how it could be improved - Through discussion and exercises you will understand how to improve your male approach to problems - Become familiar and recognize first half strategies and how they affect male decision making and problem solving - Become familiar and recognize second half strategies and how they can affect male decision making and problem solving. - Transitioning from first half to second half strategies and decision making through initiation exercises - Become aware of how important this transition is and how the transition can affect males in today's society and in other indigenous cultures. John Drinkard is an Interfaith Minister, a Spiritual Counselor, an Energy Healer, Shamanic Practitioner and Vietnam Veteran. Robert Cubby co-facilitates a NAMI Connections Peer Support Group for PTSD for veterans and first responders with John Drinkard.

Its time for a party. A party you say? What kind of party? A vision board party! Just bring your creativity, your imagination, and most importantly, your vision, your dream, or your goal in life. We’ll supply the art supplies and the refreshments. We’ll all gather what we need, find a comfortable area and let our imaginations fly. Much like we did when we were kids and carefree, we will allow our imaginations to soar. Not to worry if you get stuck, I’ll be here to help. We’ll talk about our vision boards as they progress and you can leave space for future additions if you choose. We will take our dreams, those we’ve thought of, spoke of and hoped for, and put them to a variety of mediums to express them visually. Much like writing helps us deal with feelings, so can art. Its one thing to speak of our dreams, its entirely another thing to physically make it visual. We did so when we were younger, but may have “grown up” and abandoned those special moments because we just didn’t have the time or we just thought it was silly kid’s stuff. What you will learn: - what a vision is for vision board purposes - what that vision construct helps us accomplish - conceptualizing what is needed to make that vision a reality - applying those concepts to producing a vision board - using that vision board to keep us focused on the goal envisioned - experiencing our childhood creativity and imagination that may have been put aside when we “grew up” - receiving gentle guidance, support, discussion and feedback by the facilitator while boards are being constructed - sharing our boards with the group thus sharing our vision The party will be open to anyone. No experience is necessary. Guys don’t shy away, you’ve got dreams and visions too and your sharing is welcome. Some requests prior to the party - Look through magazines, newspapers for images and words you’d like to use. Don’t worry if you don’t have any to look through. We’ll have some on hand. - Feel free to bring snacks and beverages. - If you want to bring art supplies such as scissors, glue sticks, old magazines, markers, colored pencils, even crayons, feel free to do so. We’ll have supplies on hand plus poster boards. For more information please call (973) 500-8813, email info@ttohc or visit www.ttohc.com Vision Board Party

Groundbreaking research has now shown what shamans have always known, that we carry within us the tears of our ancestors. Science has found that genetic mutations caused by trauma create “cellular memories” that can be transmitted to future generations. Imagine the world’s collective burden of grief from the trauma and loss accumulated through thousands of years of human history. In this experiential workshop, we will explore our collective inheritance of ancestral grief. In the process you may discover ways that you personally may have been affected by the wounds of your own ancestors. Using the shaman’s tools of journeying, creating shamanic art and ceremony to heal these wounds and create a new legacy of peace for present and future generations. Shamanic journey experience is helpful but not necessary to benefit from this workshop. Please bring with you: A notebook or journal A blanket, pillows, beach chair or some other way to get comfortable during shamanic journeying An eye shade or something to cover your eyes Lunch and snacks for yourself A drum or rattle (optional) Healing Ancestral Grief:
