Personal Safety for Women & Girls 

Women's Self-Defense Class  

with David Bruce Leonard & Ashley Casperson 

When: Sunday 1/30/2022, 10am - 5pm 

Cost: $150 

THIS WORK IS FULL-CONTACT SCENARIO-BASED HIGH-ADRENALINE TRAINING IN A
SAFE AND EMOTIONALLY SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT. ONE OF THE MANY THINGS THAT
WE DO IS TRAIN WOMEN TO SHORTEN THEIR FREEZE RESPONSE WHEN IN A
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

THE ESSENCE OF THIS WORK IS NOT "THE MAN IN THE SUIT"; IT IS THE
PEDAGOGY, THE TEACHING STYLE THAT ALLOWS THE CONDITIONING TO HAPPEN.
BECAUSE WE TRAIN WOMEN IN HIGH ADRENALINE STATES, THEY LEARN TO USE THE
ADRENALINE AS FUEL TO HELP THEM SURVIVE RATHER THAN CAUSING THEM TO
FREEZE.

HOWEVER IMPORTANT THE PHYSICAL SKILLS MAY BE, MOST OF THE CLASS IS
FOCUSED ON HOW TO AVOID DANGER AND, IF NEEDED, HOW TO DEESCALATE
DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. THE VAST MAJORITY OF ASSAULTS CAN BE AVOIDED WITH
VERBAL RESPONSES ALONE. WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON BODY LANGUAGE,
NON-VERBAL CUES, THE DYNAMICS OF SEXUAL ASSAULTS, AND SITUATIONAL
AWARENESS AS WELL AS THE LEGAL ISSUES IN HAWAIʻI OF NEEDING TO DEFEND
ONESELF IN THE HOME, AT WORK, AND IN PUBLIC.

Dances of Universal Peace 

Join us for deep sweetness, heart healing, oneness.... 

When: monthly, contact us to be put on the invite list 

Cost: by donation 

Dances of Universal Peace are easily learned, with gentle movements that
even "non-dancers" can greatly enjoy.  Singing sacred, ancient phrases
creates a full body healing vibration, and when conscious movement is
added, these become powerful spiritual practices.  Each dance will be
fully taught, no experience is necessary.
