September 22 or 23 Integrated Breathwork Seminar $125
First Time in Montreal !!
Harmoni is proud to bring you an outstanding, world-renowned seminar on Integrated Breathwork. Denis Ouellette, international seminar leader and trainer (with 30 years experience) is traveling from Montana to conduct this transformational, full day (6hours) self-healing seminar on breathing.
Most of our energy should come from breathing, yet most of us access only 20% of our full breathing capacity, leaving our cells starved for oxygen and compromising optimum health. Improper breathing either causes or worsens every illness. Learning how to expand your breath in natural and healthy ways can help not only with various medical conditions (asthma, poor digestion, insomnia, high blood pressure, panic attacks, stress, etc.) but can increase longevity and support your quest for well-being and self-transformation.
BENEFITS OF BREATHWORK:
* Full oxygenation of the cells (inhalation) release of fatigue and toxins (exhalation) * cleanses you at a cellular level giving you "a new lease on life!" * Improved breathing quality and quantity balances the nervous system's "fight or flight syndrome," providing energy reserves for better handling of stress and anxiety * Oxygenation, and removal of blocks to energy flow, enhances the body's self-healing of long-term conditions * Increased energy, creativity and personal power can help resolve negative habits and addictions * Release stored muscle tension, unravel past emotional or mental trauma, and clear "cellular memories" * With daily use, the breath becomes your "best friend," helping you to keep your balance and to heal quicker.
. This life-work is not done all at once, but "one breathwork at a time." It will produce lasting, transformational change.Feel incredible and double your Vitality! One-on-one sessions available.

Ancient sages of both Eastern and Western disciplines have utilized the major part of Shamanic processes. We have access to problem solving, guidance, healing and vast knowledge by journeying through the inner self to other worlds. We are all one in a magnificent web of love and creative energies.

Our eyes tend to focus on the problem-aspect of a situation and it seems that we are stuck in a "bad place". By allowing our focus to shift even slightly, we can begin to notice the solution-aspect of the situation. THIS IS WHERE WE ARE MEANT TO BE because this is where we will receive more of that which we desire (re. Work, Health, Relationships, Finances). This is where we will BE more of that which we desire to BE (more centered, more relaxed, more patient, more creative, more peaceful, more connected, more courageous, more content, more joyful!...) The goal is to PRACTISE and EXPERIENCE our own desires. To experience for ourselves that Belief Becomes Biology and that Mind Manifests Matter. Our goal is to allow the mind to shift. CHANGE YOUR MIND & YOUR LIFE WILL FOLLOW.

December 15 Angel Wisdom - Healing Arts Workshop 4 $25
Heavenly knowledge is known as wisdom, and it transforms people.
"Angel" means messenger, and humans experience angels primarily as messengers. But this is not what they 'are', this is what they 'do'. Mystics and seers have heard their song, and those who respond to the angels' message move inevitably toward the harmony the angels represent. By joining the song of the angels, human hearts and minds are connected to the power of the invisible creation, and their lives are renewed. Angels work with our souls in conjunction with the Universal Mind, to help us raise our sights and spirits. In this workshop we will begin by invoking our Angels and as we start to open to the state of gratitude, miracles can occur. After our invocation we will begin to create our inspirational messages from our angels. A beautiful Holiday gift to yourself!
