A time to heal
by Janet Smellie
NNSL (Sep 19/97) - Yellowknifers stuck in a rut with life in general have a chance to enlist some help next week when a team of healers arrive to town for special workshops. Harreson and Blanche Tanner, specialists in emotional healing and spiritual development, will be holding workshops from Sept. 25 to 28. For men, there's a man-to-man, one-day workshop on self-discovery and personal empowerment. A Women's Circle will also be held in which Blanche Tanner will share her knowledge of breath integration. Organized by Ardith Dean, there is also a weekend workshop planned for couples aimed at "keeping the love alive" in a relationship. "It's very practical training ... a very gentle approach we all can to deal with our stress," Dean says, adding that past workshops in Yellowknife have been very successful. Tanner's cranial-sacral therapy, in which he helps balance the body's energy, is also a big seller in southern Canada, she adds. "A lot of people have been helped by these workshops. As long as it helps I'll continue to bring them up." Harreson and Blanche Tanner have been facilitating workshops on emotional healing for 10 years. Harreson is a massage therapist with a specific interest in cranial/sacral therapy. Blanche is a veteran breath practitioner and spiritual counsellor. |
