Purpose:  In 2007, Chanara received a grant from the Kenneth A. Picerne Foundation to perform sing-along events in retirement facilities throughout San Diego County.  She found this so fulfilling, she created these sing-along classes to give others the opportunity to experience this tremendously satisfying service of bringing joy to others.

“OS-I AM” WORKSHOPS

There is no up-coming workshop scheduled at the present time.  These workshops are offered intermittently, according to Chanara’s availability.  If you wish to be considered for this training, contact: chanaraSings@gmail.com and state your request.   Because this training requires one-on-one, individual attention, this group venue is only available on O’ahu.  Private Skype & Facetime sessions are an option.

Description:  This 4hr workshop gives an experiential understanding of how to master the Four Steps of the “OS-I AM” Consciousness technique (Observer Self ~ Intact ~ Access ~ Move).   You’ll learn how to (1) consciously access your intuitive inner knowing, (2) commune with the part of your being that can’t be wounded, and (3) bring your authentic self into your outer personality.  Then you’ll learn how to integrate these skills into daily life:  how to to pull out of unpleasant emotional reactions, heal unresolved emotional issues and harmonize relationships.  A more in-depth description of “OS-I AM” Consciousness is available at www.os-iam.com.
