Please join us for a powerful evening of healing and transformation. The solar eclipse is a time of new beginnings in which spiritual power is magnified, so it is the perfect opportunity to initiate the changes that you desire. The topic that we’ll focus on is prana and breath. The eastern schools of metaphysics have long spoken of the importance of breath. They considered proper breathing essential to healthy living. The evening will consist of: - A short talk on how the breath draws in the essential prana that helps us to rebuild the physical body. - Breathwork exercises - You will be seated in small groups of 3 recipients per certified healer, each with a minimum of 5 years of metaphysical training, - Specific divine light rays will be directed into your chakras to release negative energies. - The divine light will then be used to uplift your consciousness wherever it is needed. - The healers will then work on your nervous system to release blockages and revitalize your nerve body. Whether you are seeking physical, mental or emotional transformation, Divine Light healing is a full-spectrum aura therapy. It offers spiritual upliftment in every area of life including a greater sense of self-reliance and self-confidence, release of past traumas and negative habits, accelerated development of talent and abilities and greater harmony in all types of relationships. “Spiritual energy is the single biggest key to building and sustaining health, because it connects you to your source of health.”- Barbara Martin & Dimitri Moraitis – The Healing Power of Your Aura The aura is crucial to healing because it is the place where you generate the spiritual energy to manifest health. Built on the clairvoyant experiences of renowned teachers Barbara Y. Martin and Dimitri Moraitis, these healing techniques have been endorsed by medical luminaries C. Norman Shealy and Dr. Richard Gerber. NEIL MINTZ is a certified Divine Light Teacher through Spiritual Arts Institute, with 12 years of intensive study in metaphysics and healing.

Born in Mexico City, 4-time Grammy Award winner Antonio Sánchez began to play the drums at age five and performed professionally as a teen in Mexico’s Latin, jazz and rock scenes—when he wasn’t participating as a member on Mexico’s Junior National Gymnastics Team. He later pursued a degree in classical piano at the National Conservatory in Mexico and in 1993 enrolled in Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory, where he graduated magna cum laude in Jazz Studies. Following nine albums and 18 years as one of the most cherished of Pat Metheny’s collaborators, Sánchez has also recorded and performed with Gary Burton, Michael Brecker, Charlie Haden and Chick Corea. In 2014 Sánchez’s popularity soared when he scored Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman which ended up garnering four Academy Awards (including Best Picture). Today, Sánchez is among the most sought-after jazz drummers in the world and has been Modern Drummer’s “Jazz Drummer of the Year” on multiple occasions. His new album SHIFT – Bad Hombre Vol. II, featuring Dave Mathews, Trent Reznor and a host of other guest artists, will be released on Warner Bros this August.
