To ensure that our high-quality enrichment classes are accessible to all families, Minneapolis Community Education is now offering fees on a sliding scale. The different prices reflect the average cost of offering a class as well as a discounted option and options that help us cover our administrative costs. Fees cover instructor pay, most class supplies, program materials, marketing and scholarships. Families are asked to pick the price that they are able to pay. As always, we will continue to offer additional financial assistance upon request. When families participate as they are able, in all levels of our sliding scale, the whole program becomes self-sustaining. Thank you for your consideration as you sign up for summer programs!

We will begin the morning with a sweet meditation and breathwork allowing your body and mind to relax into your yoga mat. From there, you will feel the power of deep relaxation through a sound bath with Crystal bowls, the depth of sound through a Gong, and other sound instruments representing the ocean, rain, and wind. The experience is designed to bring your mind, body and spirit into balance. +Please bring: yoga mat, blanket, and anything else that will help you be comfortable such as eye mask, pillow. Wear comfortable clothing. Energy follows intention (or our thoughts!) We spend several hours in our day thinking, analyzing, and doing, often without paying attention to how each of these activities makes us feel energetically. As the name suggests, a Sound Bath is an immersion in beautiful sounds and vibrations that are healing for your body, mind and spirit. A Sound Bath is a deeply relaxing, meditative experience which can take you on a journey of deep relaxation, healing and self discovery. Sound healing, an ancient wellness practice dating back thousands of years, has been linked to reductions in stress and anxiety. Sound travels through water four times faster than it travels through air, and since our bodies are mostly composed of water, many believe that sound helps us recalibrate. Reminder: Please bring yoga mat with you. You may also want to bring a bolster, pillow, blanket, and/or eye cover to maximize the flow of energy. Each participant will also receive a few crystals to enhance your session. Please bring a water bottle for hydration. Meet at the Center for Performing Arts located at 3754 Pleasant Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55409. If session is full, please enroll for the waitlist. We will contact you if a space becomes available.
