Five Elements of Community
All things are connected, both spiritual and physical. At Healing Arts Community we connect with each other and with the Cosmos through the physical senses. For sight, we create and appreciate the visual arts. For sound, we perform and listen to music. The smell of incense and fresh air happens wile we engage in yogic breath-work. Members taste the culinary arts at weekly vegan pot-lucks. We feel warmth as we dance to the rhythms of the Universe, and as we benefit from the healing touch of Energy Healing. Through the Arts we find balance of both Yin and Yang. As above, so below.
