The workshop will include lecture, demonstrations, personal, pair and group exercises, open group discussion, and the exchange of thoughts and ideas. You will learn about the crucial necessity of touch. Touch is powerful! Touch is absolutely essential for wellness and for life. You will discover the power of your own touch, and how you can share it with another person or with many others. A special aspect of Universal Energy is the chakras, the energy centers of our body. Learn how the chakras determine your health and wellness, and explore ways to improve and balance your body’s chakra energy.

The male condition is also referred to as andropause. Most men are not aware of male menopause. This workshop is offered to bring about a consciousness and understanding of the body changes we can expect, or are presently experiencing as we age. Male menopause typically begins around ages 40 – 55, but can begin as early as 35 and as late as 65. Each man is unique. As with women, the changes that come with menopause for men are somewhat extensive. The workshop will include a presentation of facts and study results pertaining to male menopause, with plenty of time for dialogue and the sharing of personal experience[s] and opinions. For both men and women, menopause is the result of hormonal changes in the body. This workshop is intended as a source of information and a better understanding of male menopause only, and in no way will offer medical advice. Learn about male menopause and its symptoms, and share your thoughts and reactions with the group. The workshop is FOR MEN ONLY in order to provide a comfortable, safe, open dialogue environment. As men frequently have difficulty discussing personal aspects of their life among themselves, the added element of females being present can reduce this narrow openness to zero. Learn what is happening to you now or what you can expect as you age.
