Vince will be offering the following workshops:

Sacred Breath, our connection to all life...The first step on the flute journey
Friday, 12:30-2:30

In our hurried lives, we often forget to do the one thing that can have the greatest benefit to our physical, emotional and spiritual health: Breathing........

Breathing with Intention helps you to relax and reduces stress, improves your skin tone and helps you sleep better. Some studies have even shown that improved breathing helps in losing weight!

By playing the flute, we breath through our instrument bringing healing to the world, and in turn, health and healing to ourselves. Join us as we begin this Sacred Journey.....

Cost: $40

Beyond Solo-Learning to play with other instruments
Saturday, 9:30-11:30

The Native American Flute can be a journey of Self Discovery. Join us in discovering the magic of playing with other instruments in a safe, loving and supportive environment. We’ll share our journey with guitars, percussion and drums, Didgeridu, the magical “Hang drum” and more. Come join the band!

Cost: $40

Sound Healing Ceremony with the NAF
Saturday, 12:30-2:30

We know how this magical instrument makes us feel when we play it, with intention and direction, we can use the power our heart and the sound of the flute to bring that magical healing to others. Tapping in to our own intuitive knowing, stepping out of our ego, trusting and allowing our soul to be played, we can call forth the healing power of the universe and offer it to the world....

Cost: $40

Playing from the Heart: Discovering your Songs
Sunday, 9:30-11:30

Is your playing in a rut? Are you playing the same old songs and patters over and over? Or are you a new player wondering what to play?....With the Light, Love and Desire we have within us, we can see the Divine Inspiration all around Us.  
 
In this “Playshop” our Hearts will be our guide as we allow them to teach us; how to Listen to what we See, how to Feel what we Hear, and how to Play from our Heart….

Cost: $40

Drumming for Flute Circles
Sunday, 12:30-2:30

Have you ever been to a circle when a beat started and folks started to follow along, then slowly, mysteriously, things went slowly awry? So why is this such a challenge? Who’s in charge here? Why can’t we keep a beat? Can it really be that hard?

I say, “Not at all!!”  Explore the mystery of simple beats, tempo, meter, and what the heck IS a metronome? Bring a drum, any drum!

Cost: $40

Private Lessons

Cost: $50 per half hour.

Here’s what a few former students have to say about Vince’s workshops:
 
“All of us were treated to the extraordinary musical talent and experience of Vince. His teaching method is heart driven, constantly searching for those basic techniques to assist you in your flute journey, fortifying the learning process by demonstrating examples and offering training exercises, all perceived by a talented musician’s compassionate eye. Thanks Vince for your dedication in providing an atmosphere of love, understanding and learning – you present an incredible gift.”
           Bill Timothy, President, Central Coast Flute Circle
 
“In Vince Chafin's workshop, I felt welcomed into a safe, supportive group atmosphere for exploring my hidden voice through Native American Flute. A dynamic performing and recording artist, Vince lives what he teaches, walks his talk and dances his song. I felt inspired and energized and wanting more.”
          Lucia Capacchione, Ph.D.,  Art Therapist and Author
 
“The workshop was just plain outstanding. Your skill at making others comfortable, and willing to share their learning process with the group while you worked with very specific skills in breath work, etc. was a joy to watch and share in the learning. Not to mention the humor made the steep learning cure hysterical.”
             Eleanor, Denver CO

“Thank you Vince! It was a wonderful and spirit filled workshop. Your instruction has helped tremendously and I am enjoying your CD on the commute to work!  Thank you so much for the great experience with flute energy.”   
              Valerie
 
“I just want to let you know that I truly enjoyed our Camp Ocean Pines workshop. Your passion for your medium and willingness to share your knowledge has touched everyone. Being a teacher myself I feel you have what it takes to reach students at all levels of flute playing. I found a way to deal with performance anxiety that was a direct result from your workshop:)”
              Cherie
 
“Thanks again for teaching the excellent workshop at Zion. You made us all feel comfortable, had much knowledge to share and an infectious enthusiasm, and demonstrated a true professional dedication to the craft of musicianship.”

"Yoga for Flute Playing: The Balance of Body and Breath"
 

Join me for a wonderful way to embrace the morning or a rejuvenating afternoon
break as you support learning through this ancient opening of the body and the breath.

Our class will include gentle stretching and asana(posture) to open the body; breath
work to build lung capacity and control; and relaxation to place one in the most optimal alignment for learning and play.

Hatha Yoga is a more than 6,000 year old system which supports and builds
health in the dimensions of body, mind, and spirit. This practice supports
the necessary qualities for flute playing of a steady breath moving from a
balanced and relaxed body and focused mind.

Open to all ages
Appropriate for all levels
Please bring a towel or mat
Cost: $10

In addition to the Yoga Workshop Michelle is offering foot massage/Reflexology.

Foot Reflexology is an ancient therapy from China which is based on the
premise that there are locations on the foot that corresponds to every organ, gland,
and system in the body. By massaging these specific points systematically, the body's
powers of regeneration and self-repair are stimulated and strengthened.
You will feel a deep sense of relaxation and calm, and walk away with an ahhhhhhhh.

Cost: $10 for 10 minutes
$1 per minute there after

Michelle is certified in Hatha, Kripalu, Anusara, Kundalini, cardiac/cancer
