We believe that in the 21st Century our health and well-being depends on our learning "Energy Literacy," the ability to perceive and tend to energy in ourselves and the world around us.

​We can view illness, pain and conflict as problems. Or we can view them as a gift, as “the oil light on the dashboard” that tells us that something is out of balance and and is asking for our attention and tending.
 
The more we understand and are attuned to the energies of our bodies, hearts, minds, relationships, and communities, the earlier we can recognize imbalances and and the more skillfully we can act to correct them. When we learn to do this it empowers us to live more and more harmonious lives, regardless of what’s happening outside of us.


​
This workshop has two goals:
  1. To begin to learn, concretely and practically, how energy works and moves in human beings, and
  2. To practice the skills of perceiving, nourishing and tending to our own and other people’s energies.

We'll spend time in discussion, practice, laughter, and community-building.

The workshop is taught by Mark Montgomery, Lic. Ac.
​
The workshop is experiential, with no previous experience required.
It is a prerequisite for the advanced energy literacy courses taught at BCH.

Cost of the workshop is on a sliding scale of $30 - $150.

Flourishing with Postpartum Principles: An introductory workshop on helping women to thrive after the birth of a child...

8/17/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
The moment a woman gives birth to a child, she goes through a rebirth herself. She crosses the sacred threshold of Motherhood and enters the postpartum period. Historically, women and families have been supported by tribes and communities of people, making the transition for mama a time of true restoration for the body and mind. At some point the postpartum time has become more complex for modern society to understand and harder for women to go through and recover from. The solution is to gather as a community, share experiences, and learn through ancestral wisdom.

Join postpartum Doula and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Sinead Gaynor, in starting the conversation about postpartum health. Prenatal Mamas, partners, family members, birth-workers all welcome!
 
September 7, 2019, 2-4pm at Bend Community Healing
 
Cost: $45
Early-bird registration: $35 before 8/19
$60/couple (bring your partners/supporters!)
 
For more information call Sinead at 720-636-4705.

Next Coming to the Table: Monday, January 28th, 7-8:30pm

10/19/2018

​Our next CTTT meeting will be  Monday, January 28th from 7-8:30pm .

The 4th Monday of each month Bend Community Healing hosts a meeting of “Coming To the Table,” an organization dedicated to promoting a just and truthful society that acknowledges and seeks to heal from the racial wounds of the past—from slavery and the many forms of racism it spawned.

Why is this necessary and why have we chosen to host this at BCH?

In a nutshell, this group is based on the belief that, in William Faulkner's words, "The past isn't dead; it's not even past." 

We believe that slavery and racism are symptoms of a persistent disease that our country has not yet healed from that perpetuates awful injustice and that keeps us all from reaching our full potential as individuals and as a nation. Coming together to look at and feel these energies  is a form of community healing, and, we believe, can help us with the process of healing this disease.

Everyone, of any political persuasion, who is willing to speak and listen respectfully is welcome to this discussion. 

Coming to the Table operates with the following goals:
  1. Uncovering History: researching, acknowledging, and sharing personal, family, community, state, and national histories of race with openness and honesty
  2. Making Connections: connecting to others within and across racial lines in order to develop and deepen relationships
  3. Working Toward Healing: exploring how we can heal together through dialogue, reunion, ritual, meditation, prayer, ceremony, the arts, apology and other methods
  4. Taking Action: actively seeking to dismantle systems of racial inequality, injustice, and oppression; to work for the transformation of our nation.
 
And the following values:
  • Inclusion. We welcome all who wish to join the Coming to the Table conversation and who join us in honoring and committing to these principles.
  • Respect and Tolerance. We respect the integrity and value of all people as they seek to understand and respond to their experience of the world and the history and impact of slavery, even if we might disagree with them. To this end, we listen respectfully to each other, practice non-judgmental listening, and refrain from personal attack.
  • Honesty, Truthfulness and Transparency. We strive to uncover truth and to speak it with openness and transparency.
  • Justice. We accept that there has been significant harm as a result of the legacies and aftermaths of slavery. We strive to identify those harms and to take responsibility for making things right.
  • Compassion, Mercy, and Forgiveness. Through compassion and love we strive to show mercy and to forgive ourselves, those who may have done us harm and those who have harmed others.
  • Love. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called his followers to love even those who would do them harm. This love transformed both victim and offender and created a powerful foundation for doing justice and building a beloved community. We strive to do likewise.
  • Peace and Nonviolence. We seek to transform conflict through non-violent, non-coercive means so as to achieve a peaceful community.
  • Reconciliation. We strive for racial reconciliation through a journey of seeking peace, justice, mercy and truth.

The meeting is free; it will take place at Bend Community Healing, 155 SW Century Drive, Ste 113.

Autumn Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra
​Saturday 10/6/18 4:30-6:30pm

Autumn is an especially appropriate time for self-care and reflection as we harvest summer's last bounty and "put away" some energy while letting go of what we no longer need.
Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, is a practice of complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. 30 minutes of yoga nidra is the equivalent of a 4-hour sleep!
This 2-hour special event will provide the space to reflect, relax and renew        for the longer nights of Autumn.

$20-40 Sliding Scale. Register online by clicking here or call 541-322-9642

This free lecture will give you a chance to ask any questions you have about acupuncture and to witness a treatment, as well as to learn the basic theory behind the needles.

 Whether you have a specific health challenge you’re looking for help with or just a curiosity about how Eastern medicine works, this lecture will give you tools to relieve pain and stress and a deeper understanding of how health and healing work.

The lecture will be given by Mark Montgomery, Lic. Ac., at Bend Community Healing, 155 SW Century Drive, Suite 113.
