                  MARIA ISLAND - Florida (south of Tampa)

                  January
                  29 - 31 (Friday 6pm - Sunday 2pm)

                  

                  Practitioner
                  Training in Sound and Healing

                  Come
                  and enjoy a warming weekend in an oceanfront
                  Florida cottage with a small group of similarly
                  curious healers, singers, and creatives. We will
                  explore how music, energy and spiritual healing
                  overlap.

                  Anna
                  Maria Island is located about an hour south of
                  Tampa, Florida. This is a small island with one
                  principle road and two bridges to the mainland for
                  cars. Our retreat cottage is located at the north
                  end of the island, on the beach. Traffic entering
                  and exiting the island can be very heavy at times
                  and it is recommended that those not familiar with
                  local traffic patterns consider staying at a nearby
                  motel/hotel. The cottage address will be given upon
                  registration. There is parking for cars at the
                  cottage, but car-pooling by locals is encouraged.
                  Shuttle services from Tampa International Airport
                  are available for those
                  flying.

                  

                  Food

                  Meals,
                  snacks and drinks are included in the workshop
                  price. If you have food allergies or concerns
                  please send them via email to
                  office@healingchants.com. The menu is flexible, and
                  reflects those participating. We use available
                  organic produce, nuts and seeds, with grass-fed
                  and/or free range poultry, meat and dairy products.
                  Saturday and Sunday breakfasts are on your own.
                  There are many small local cafes along the beach
                  and in town. Feel free to bring special goodies
                  that you enjoy, and if you like, a little bit extra
                  to share.

                  

                  Lodging

                  There
                  are many small and medium size motels and hotels
                  within walking distance of the cottage, which is on
                  the beach within Anna Maria, just a few blocks
                  north of Manatee. A good resource for local lodging
                  is here.

                  

                  Clothing

                  Plan
                  on wearing loose, comfortable clothing. The cottage
                  will get beach breezes off the ocean which can be
                  chilly , especially in the evening or early
                  morning, and bright sun that is very warm during
                  mid-day. We will be on the beach when the weather
                  invites us, on the large front porch, and in the
                  living room.
