• David Shyu - being still and gain awareness of what meridians are unbalanced to be harmonized is half of the treatment as patient affirms the change to take place before the acupuncture needle unlocks the gate to allow the flow of qi to restore his/her mental/physical state.

• Igor Shteynberg - Feldenkrais Functional Integration Lessons. Through gentle movement exercises, the Feldenkrais method can help you to become more aware of your body in movement, discover and seamlessly adopt new and improved ways of moving and relating to yourself. Since most of the learning is unconscious and does not require copying and repetition, Feldenkrais lessons are a great way to learn for Contact Improv dancers. I enjoy very much sharing benefits of my practice with fellow Contact Improv dancers – it's very inspiring to work with like-minded people and I look forward to learning together. Feldenkrais Functional Integration lesson can be compared to small dance that is done together by student and practitioner with the purpose of exploring and allowing new ways of moving to emerge. Lesson is gentle and at the end student feel refreshed and more aware of their movement. Balance, coordination and sense of movement possibilities are improved. Igor Shteynberg has been involved with The Feldenkrais Method for more than five years and has worked with clients ranging from children to professional dancers and musicians. He has also been extensively involved in Aikido, Russian martial art and Contact Improv for over a decade. Igor will be available at the jam on Saturday 12-2pm and 7-9pm; Sunday 7-9pm; and Monday 12-2pm. http://www.thefmethod.com/teacher/

• Beth Charette - I began my journey into the healing arts 30 years ago at Lewiston NY's Art Park when I was introduced to the gentle effective power of Reiki. I had eaten something that left me feeling quite ill. One of the artists performed Reiki on my stomach and to my skeptical surprise the pain subsided and then disappeared. Over the years I learned more about this healing art and eventually found the right teacher to mentor me to the Master level. I had the added good fortune to find a Reiki master that is also a certified aromatologist who passed on to me her extensive knowledge of the therapeutic value of essential oils. I consider myself the facilitator in my clients OWN healing. I am not the healer, they heal themselves. I aid each persons healing journey through Reiki, essential oils and active listening. My healing practice is based on listening for each clients needs and goal. At the Ontario Regional Contact Dance Jam I will be offering the following services: -15 min hand massage -15 min foot massage Sunday 12 - 2 6pm - 7:30. 15 minute sessions each. A sign up sheet will be available Sunday morning! To prebook a time please contact me at reikibetty@yahoo.ca
