Calendar of Events
I give presentations about Brennan Healing Science and various aspects of energy healing that I believe will be interesting and helpful to the public. My audiences have been diverse in make-up and range from the merely curious to those who are dealing with life-threatening illnesses and the caregivers who support them. Be sure to check back on what’s going on around town as the Calendar of Events changes frequently.
Recent Events and Presentations
- Brennan Healing Science Spring Clinic
This popular event, open to the community at large, provided participants an opportunity to experience this unique system of body-centered energy healing and to feel what it’s like to be energetically balanced. In 30-minute sessions, participants received chakra readings and hands-on energy work to clear, charge and balance their energetic systems.
This one-day event was held on Monday, March 28th from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Cocoa Beach Wellness Center, 236 N. Atlantic Avenue, Cocoa Beach.
- Please Understand Me: What Energy Blocks Can Tell Us About our Health and Relationships (A Practical Exploration of Character Structure)
At these interactive, introductory workshops, participants learned about “Character Structure,” what it is and how it affects them and their loved ones. Character Structure is a model that describes patterns of chronic holding (energy blocks) that everyone carries to some degree in their bodies and which have effects on all aspects of health (mental, emotional, physical and spiritual). It was developed by Drs. Reich, Lowen and Pierrakos but the workshops presented focused on the more modern, practical applications of Drs. Barbara Brennan and Anodea Judith.
Participants considered the following questions:
- Would you like to understand yourself more deeply?
- Are you frustrated with repeating behaviors that don’t serve you and yet you keep doing them?
- Would you like to gain insights about your loved ones that might improve your relationships?
- Are you looking for additional ways to address long-standing health issues that have defied conventional treatments?
And, then through lecturettes and hands-on experiences, participants explored the five main subtypes including their characteristics and defenses as well as their gifts, identified their primary character structure, learned how Brennan Healing Science Practitioners work with this aspect of their clients, and left with strategies for renewed health and improved relationships.
When: The workshops were held on September 27th, 2010, August 22nd, 2009 and August 23rd and 27th, 2008.
Where: The Cocoa Beach Wellness Center, 236 N. Atlantic Avenue (between 2nd and 3rd Streets, North), Cocoa Beach, FL 32931. See map on the Contact page.
