Meditative Morning
Nov 2 @ 8:00 am – 10:00 am
The North Carolina Arboretum

on the first Tuesday morning of every month will be reserved for “Meditative Mornings,” a pause for quiet time in our gardens and on our trails. During this time, our working garden crew will abstain from using leaf blowers, mowers and other equipment so you can be sure to enjoy the sounds of birds and the wind in the trees.

Take advantage of half-price parking on the first Tuesday of every month and come out to the Arboretum to enjoy a Meditative Morning!

Guided meditation and hypnosis training

We meet regularly to build various tools for mental and physical health and wellbeing. We’ve done self-hypnosis training, guided visualization for migraine relief, self-esteem building routines, guided meditation for stress relief, medical hypnosis inductions, and more! These are small groups so the content varies based on who’s present and what they’d like to work on.

We also share our experiences so that everyone else can be exposed to new ideas, ways of thinking about things, and possibilities.

This is a great way to learn about meditation and hypnosis to improve your life, whether you’re familiar with these techniques or completely new! Come join us on our wellness journey and meet likeminded people!

Breathwork for Transformation
Apr 3 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
607 W Parker Rd · Greenville, SC

Breathwork for Transformation

Sign up for class to reserve your spot on our website.
www.halfacreholistics.com

Do you want to transform your life in some way? Breathwork allows you to tap into and access the potential for change and personal growth inherent within you.

Who knew doing this simple technique of lying on the ground and breathing could be so powerful and profound? If you are willing to put forth the effort, you will find a positive change in your life such as more clarity, self-love, purpose or inner peace as well as less stress, anger, anxiety, or stuck emotions.

Breathwork is experiential in nature. Your breathwork experience will be unique from everyone else’s and different every time you do it. It’s like a surprise or unwrapping a gift – the breathwork will give you what you need. Just breathe.

Breathwork may not be advisable for those with certain health conditions such as but not limited to heart conditions, seizure disorders, severe mental illness, or those who are pregnant, or taking certain medications. Please reach out if you have any concern, review our waiver, and always discuss with your physician to decide what is right for you.

Free Community Sound Meditation
Jun 15 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Cancer Survivors Park

Free Community Sound Meditation in Cancer Survivors Park!

Come to relax, listen, and meditate to the beautiful sounds of 7 perfect pitch crystal bowls. You deserve the time to just be you and recharge one of the most efficient ways available to us!

We will meet in the children’s garden of the Cancer Surivors Park. It has astro turf so if you don’t have a yoga mat to bring with you, don’t let that stop you from coming.

We hope this gives people who have been putting off trying to establish a meditation practice an excuse to jump in on this highly beneficial exercise. I will offer some tips to those who are new to meditation and welcome any advice from veterans in attendance.

This is a free event to encourage people that might not have the regular opportunity to learn about meditation, but if you would like to support Net-Good’s mission to make life coaching a public utility, I’ll have a QR code with me at the end of the event.

The world would be a happier place if everyone took more time to sit in the park and meditate. :)

Let’s Meditate Together! What is Meditation?
Jun 30 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Let's Meditate Together! What is Meditation?

What is Meditation?

Many people these days have been searching for ways to meditate. But what exactly is meditation? To answer this question, we must know the reason why we are meditating. The reason people are wanting to meditate is because people are incomplete. Being incomplete causes people to have many questions about life, to have doubts, stress, pain, burdens, etc. These all come from the self-made mind world that people live inside of and it overlaps the real world. This self-made mind world is the karma (life lived), habits, and body. If you throw away the self and the incomplete world, which is the karma, habits, and body, go to the existent world of Truth, and are reborn, that land is the existent world of Truth. It is the land where you can live eternally without death. You must go there while alive and live forever. When you are living as Truth, you have the wisdom to solve all your questions and doubts about life. You have no stress, pain, or burdens. You can know everything. And you live forever as Truth. When you are living as Truth, then you are complete. Meditation is about reaching human completion. Then how do I meditate to reach human completion? That is what we teach you here. We can guide you to become Truth and live in the land of Truth to live life as a complete human.

Please join us for an introduction to the meditation method and learn about our 7 level meditation method to find the Truth within and the Land of Truth within you so you can live there happily forever.

Our Program begins with a short presentation about the method, followed by a guided meditation.
