Looking for a natural alternative for relaxation and pain relief? The healing powers of Tibetan Bowls may be the answer. Come learn how sound vibrations created by singing bowls can decrease stress, reduce pain and promote healing at our November 5th session from 12-4 p.m. Expert Tanji Samson will lead us in our meditative journey.
Modern medicine has proven our brains respond to different frequencies when in the various states of consciousness and unconsciousness. By using Tibetan singing bowls to create vibrational sound we can gently alter and improve our brain state.
In this class you will learn:
- Sound vibration theory
- The history of the singing bowls
- How to buy a bowl
- Caring for your bowl
- Playing the bowls
- Personal healing therapies
- Using crystals with the bowls
If you have your own bowls feel free to bring it with you. If you don’t have a bowl, come anyway as we have bowls you can borrow.
Contact Avalon for more information or to sign up for the class. We hope to see you there!

This is a guest post from our amazingly talented massage therapist and reiki master Julie Corey.
By Julie Corey
Hello and Happy Spring! In March, we will offer a workshop in Power Animal Journeying with the three foot Mother Drum, on Thursday, March 31. This is an opportunity to connect us all with our power animal guides via the sonic driver of the drum, for the purpose of guidance, wisdom and strength. Contact us if are interested in attending.
It is a joy spending time with Yvonne and the Avalon family, as well as to have been graced with the beauty of the land, the stones, the trees, and the water here at our beautiful retreat. Some of the workshops I teach include:
- Reiki 1 course and certification
- Introduction to the Rings of Oden
- Introduction to Flower Essence Therapy
- Introduction to West African hand drumming
On a daily basis, I practice massage therapy at Avalon, as well as a session called, “Rings & Reiki,” which is designed to help you attune your energy and alignment. It is a powerful and useful treatment for any of us living on this busy planet.
I have been serving the New Hampshire community in the healing arts since 1994, when I completed my certification at the New Hampshire Institute for Therapeutic Arts in Hudson, NH. I have worked in many different places along the years, including health clubs, hospitals, corporations, schools, and public spas. My forte, is that I understand the body well, and can help an individual bring their body back into alignment and near perfect balance.
As we all now know, preventative therapies serve us well in the long run. Holistic modalities are more mainstream than ever before and the concepts of “holistic” and “wellness” will stay part of our culture for many years to come.
I hope that you will join us at Avalon for treatments and workshops designed to refresh, renew, and help you maximize your highest and best potential and vitality. I look forward to meeting you.
Blessings! Julie Corey, LMT, Reiki Master Teacher

Logan
Here at Avalon one of our favorite staff members is Logan, our resident mascot, protector of the grounds and all around Captain Awesome. Did we mention that he’s a four-legged companion of the coolest kind?
Our self-proclaimed therapy dog Logan – we give him unofficial designation because he is not a certified service dog (for a great organization that is doing incredible work in this area visit NEADS) but he is a favorite among our clients and has amazing people skills.
Logan is a 4-year old Toy Pomeranian with three years of experience in developing therapeutic techniques for relaxation and client smiles. Trained in client greetings and knowing when to give love, he has been described as both cute and intuitive.
Our sweet Logan knows how to shower you with love and is happy to give it. He is our daily reminder that we’re not alone on Earth and that by creating mutually beneficial partnerships with animals we are all the more content and happy.
Logan is our lifeline to the animal kingdom. He also has the honor of being #1 in the staff rankings for most decorative bandanas and fastest time to deflate beach balls.
Come visit us and spend a little time on the grounds with Logan.
