A Potpourri of Fresh Air, Airs and Arias, A Garden Concert Benefit

In our modern world, many of us spend our days hunched over screens, holding tension in the shoulders, chest, and spine. Over time, this posture quietly signals the nervous system to remain in a guarded state — limiting breath, constricting energy flow, and creating emotional and physical stagnation in the body.
Open the Channel: A Nervous System Reset is a guided experience designed to gently reset the body and restore the natural flow of energy through the spine and nervous system.
Through intentional posture, breath, movement, and sound healing, we will open the front of the body, release stored tension, and realign the energetic channel that connects the crown, heart, and root. As the nervous system settles, the body becomes a clearer vessel for intuition, healing, and deeper awareness.
This workshop blends somatic awareness, subtle energy practices, and sound healing to help you reconnect with your body’s natural rhythm and return to a state of calm, clarity, and openness.
This experience is accessible for anyone — whether you are new to energy work or already on a healing journey.

WHAT TO EXPECT
• Gentle posture and heart-opening movements to release tension from the chest, shoulders, and spine • Breathwork to regulate and calm the nervous system • Awareness of the central energy channel (the energetic pathway along the spine) • Guided somatic relaxation and nervous system regulation • Sound healing with crystal singing bowls • A guided automatic or shamanic-style inner journey • Integration and grounding

An appetizer for our Chicago-area CPCx participants:
The acclaimed singer-songwriter Susan Werner is bringing a masterclass to Albany Park, Chicago.
Thursday, October 22 from 7pm–9 pm.
Susan is ready to coach on these 3 issues of HOW TO:&nbsp;
<ol><li>“Sing Those Singer – Songwriters” because prying a cover tune loose from the version that made it famous is not always the easiest feat.</li><li>“Make Those Lyrics Make Sense”&nbsp;</li><li>“Make your comedy song funny”&nbsp;</li></ol>
Susan Werner doesn’t just perform music — she reinvents it every time she steps on stage. A virtuoso guitarist and pianist with a voice-trained musician’s precision and a storyteller’s wit, Werner has spent more than two decades building a reputation as one of the most original and entertaining performers on the acoustic music scene.
