The hill will close immediately following lessons.

The hill will close immediately following lessons.

Important Information Each participant must have their own equipment. These classes are designed for beginners. The tow rope can be tough on gloves—please send glove protectors or older gloves.

6:00 PM - 7:00 PM    Sound Bowl Sessions - Sound Bowl Session - In Greg Brown Lodge
  Everything has energy. We carry energy within us, from the moment we’re conceived. The meditative vibrations created by the sound bowls resonate deep within your body, compressing and relaxing our cells, literally massaging them.  This tremendously relaxing modality has been shown to: decrease stress and anxiety, decrease pain, increase immune production, increase mood, increase brain function and memory processing, improve sleep, increase self-esteem, and calm the body.  Sounds you hear, impact what’s happening inside your body. We all can find ourselves stuck in certain areas; sound bowl/sound bath meditations help to stimulate inner healing needed to move this energy.  Everyone responds differently to sound healing. In fact, each session may promote different results. The intention is to balance the body, the mind and the spirit. You may experience increased feelings of well being. I encourage you to drink plenty of water, ensure you are resting and to eat in a healthy manner after each session, as well as limiting caffeine and alcohol. Some people experience an increase in body temperature, slowed heart rate, warm, tingly sensations, or no sensation at all. Others may experience increased tiredness, get or release headaches, laughter, experience unexpected feelings or thoughts, visualizations of color, emotional release, or even a sensation of floating. These are all a normal reaction to sound healing.    Sound Bowls-Lodge-This session will take place in the Greg Brown Lodge at Hard'ack.  Yoga mats will be available to those that do not have one but bringing your own yoga or camping mat is encouraged.  Dress comfortably.Sound Bowls-Pool-This session will take place in the Hard'ack Pool.  Floating mattress mats will be available to those that do not have something to float on but bringing your own floating device is encouraged.  Dress in swimwear as we will be on the waters surface for the session. Please be sure to read the 'Informed Consent Form' at the bottom of this program page!Instructor Info Hi! I’m Chantal Tatro, owner of Green Mountain Lotus. I utilize holistic healing modalities, such as sound healing and energy (Reiki) healing to promote an internal sense of alignment. I believe that by utilizing mindfulness strategies consistently and intentionally, we can make shifts that will lead to the life we want and deserve!Consult your health care provider to ensure this is a safe modality for you. Anyone who has had surgery that resulted in metal being placed anywhere in their body, should not participate. If you are pregnant, or have any underlying health issues, especially diabetes, heart disease, or are prescribed blood thinners, please consult your doctor prior to participating.INFORMED CONSENT FORM The United States of America currently has no licensing policy in regard to Sound or Energy Healing, and Chantal Tatro is not a licensed Medical Doctor. I do not deal with drugs, nor do I issue a diagnosis or suggest cures.   My purpose is simply to provide a safe space for my client to experience healing through natural processes. I consider the use of sound, energy, herbs, essential oils, crystals and any other natural healing modality as a way to encourage the body to get back to optimal functioning and everyone reacts to these methods individually. I make no claims for their medicinal actions, nor do I cite scientific evidence. Any information offered is done so on the basis of personal experience and traditional uses.   My clients agree to make their own choices as to what they do with the educational material they have been offered and are solely responsible for their own decisions and actions. It is always my recommendation to seek out the advice of a licensed health care professional whenever they feel it is necessary in regards to their own personal health, especially with serious conditions. Clients need to consult with their physician and get approval to attend healing sessions if they have metal in their bodies, suffered concussions, have a pacemaker, use an insulin pump, and the like. If in doubt, consult your physician before our time together.  Some issues such as suicidal thoughts or late-stage cancer are beyond the scope of my expertise and I would advise you to seek outside help.  I understand that: An assessment will be conducted to determine the general health of my energy system Any suggestion made by Chantal Tatro will be to assist my body’s natural ability to achieve a balanced state, to the extent that my body or my highest knowing will allow. The goal of my session will be identified as part of the initial process and that I will have input as well as give intent and permission for it. These sessions are not meant to replace treatment by established medical practices, and can complement them. There are no guarantees as to the results of treatment. Chantal Tatro is not a licensed physician and will neither diagnose nor prescribe any condition nor does she make any specific claims regarding results from the sessions that I receive. Nothing in the work Chantal Tatro does is considered the practice of medicine.  I agree to: Raise any questions or concerns about anything I do not understand. Consider any suggestions that the practitioner may raise concerning referrals to other health care practitioners, homework, or my desired focus/introspection. Take full responsibility for my own health care. Give consent to Chantal Tatro to conduct a session to balance my energy system. I acknowledge that this could involve touch and I can request otherwise.  WHAT TO EXPECT In general, a typical session begins with a short assessment to discuss your concerns, thoughts or questions. During the session you can choose to sit or lay down. While we try to make you as comfortable as possible, if you have specific needs, please bring your own pillow or blanket, etc. We make every effort to assure that our clients feel safe and comfortable.  We may work on your body or above your body, so please let us know if there are any areas that you do not want work done. If you do not wish to be touched, please let us know. Our work is intuitive so we feel the energy and work where the energy is stagnant, deficient, stuck or unbalanced. You may feel many different results such as heat or cold, shivers, nausea, headache, relaxation, release, relief, etc. You may also feel nothing at all. Any reactions can happen immediately or even months later. No reaction is positive or negative, it purely is. It may mean something to you right away or it could be a mystery for a while. Both are normal. We find that energy medicine has a cumulative effect, so when you treat yourself to regular sessions, better health and well-being are natural outcomes. At the end, we will check in about anything that came up for you during the session.  I have read the above statements and I understand and agree with them. My purpose of seeking the advice of Chantal Tatro is done so for educational purposes only.  I understand that Chantal Tatro does not diagnose illness, disease, or mental disorder. Nor do they prescribe medical treatment or pharmaceuticals. It has been made clear that my session is not a substitute for medical examination or diagnosis and that it is recommended that I see a medical doctor for any physical or mental ailment.  I agree that Chantal Tatro cannot be held liable for any problems that might arise that I think could be attributed to the energy healing season. I have stated all of my known medical conditions to Chantal Tatro and if necessary, I will keep her updated on my physical, mental, and emotional health. I attest that I understand the nature of the session and freely elect to receive the techniques. I release Chantal Tatrofrom any and all claims of malpractice, non-disclosure, or lack of informed consent.
