I teach a lot of these things at various events devoted to them. Visit me online at .www.hennadancer.com

Harts Brooks Women’s Garland

Garland dancing is a form of Morris, a folk dance form which comes from the British Isles. There are a number of Morris teams in New England who perform, especially during the spring months on or around May 1st.  Believed by some to trace its roots to pre-Christian fertility rites, the true beginnings of Morris are unknown however William Shakespeare mentions the dance in his writings showing it existed in the 16th century.

While Morris is traditionally performed with bells, sticks, handkerchiefs and sometimes swords, garland dancers use ribbons and flower garlands with which patterns are formed.   It is a beautiful yet simple form of dance, choreographed with figures of rhythmic steps which are accompanied by music and sometimes song.   Garland dancing helps to teach coordination, movement and team work.  It is a fun form of physical activity combined with the joy of dance.  Harts Brook will be performing and teaching a simple garland dance.  Experience or skill is not required!

Harts Brook Women’s Garland formed over 20 years ago.  We meet weekly beginning in January, practicing through the winter months and perform in various venues primarily in May and June.  We welcome women of all levels of dance experience, and musicians of any gender, to join us.  If you are interested contact Laura for more information at  LauraSpellweaver@hotmail.com or friend us on Facebook!

Leigh Russell Jr.

Distance Healer, Psychic Inventor/ Aura Reader, Spiritual Guide, Reiki Master. Energetic Healing, Transformational Breath, Acupressure, And & Foot Reflexology, Cranio Sacral Techniques, Soul Alignment.
Ever since I was a young I have had a knowing that there was more to reality than meets the eye. I was able to see energy and auras when I was a toddler, and I reawakened to my ability to see and sense energy in college about 18 years ago. Recently I discovered a technique that makes viewing energy and auras very easy compared to the techniques I used to use. I now introduce people into the greater interactive world of subtle energy in which they live through teaching them the skill of seeing auras.
Through my training in bodywork and experiences with meditation I have been able to find ways to prove it to others, while teaching them how to distress, and return to health and wholeness. I call my research the Bio-Energetics Of Consciousness, because many of the techniques I use require movements of body and energy that then shift consciousness. The discoveries in Bio-Energetics Of Consciousness I have made have become the simple, practical tools that are taught in my workshops.
