Terra completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training at Peach Tree Yoga Center, Atlanta. She has been practicing different forms of yoga and meditation for over ten years. Through all of lifes ups and downs she has found yoga to be her best friend, always encouraging her to come home to her Self.
"My intention for a class is to bring everyone together as a community with love and support. Yoga is for everyone, come as you are, you are safe to simply be. Since yoga has impacted my life greatly I also want others to experience the wonderful benefits that manifest including awareness of the body, balance, harmony, mental clarity, reduced stress and overall better health. I focus on mindful flow with breath awareness and making a body, mind connection. I practice what I teach, I will always be a student in life and show up with authenticity and compassion."
After trotting the globe for several years Terra made her home at Cane Creek Farm in Cumming where she enjoys gardening, playing with her silly dog Shijei, taking care of the girls (chickens), practicing headstands and spending time in nature.

Testimonials:
"Morgan possesses the great gift as a healer of being able to flow with the feedback from her clients. Where I had tension in my muscles around an injury, Morgan's skillful tending allowed my muscles to soften and relax, and a greater range of movement was possible, after only the first session with Morgan. I had already visited other healers for the same problem with little improvement. Working with Morgan, I experienced not only her technical skill, but her depth of heart and soul as she connected to my body and soul in our time together." (Moneta)
"My sessions with Morgan have more than physical benefits ? I always enter a deep meditative state, receive intuitive guidance, and feel totally refreshed afterwards!" (Kathleen Hanagan)

About Our Sacred Circle
When we sit and gaze together in Circle, we wait for inspiration; and when it comes, we speak as the aligned beings we know ourselves to be.. Everyone is welcome to join us.
No reservations are necessary, and there is no fee.....
I must tell you that our Sacred Circle on Mondays is a most special time for me; and my daughter, Carrie, even plans her visits to NaMestoy around this special gathering. And now we are also attending a similar group on Tuesdays at 1pm hosted by Kim Lemen in her lovely home in Canton. I envision more and more of these Circles of Light shining forth throughout Metropolitan Atlanta. If you, too, feel the call to host a group in your local community, I will be happy to support you in this. When getting started there may be just one person show up, so I would be that third person until there are some regulars attending.
In a country of people who don't seem to have the time to build deep relationships, the Vision Alignment Project presents this vision:
"We see a world where groups and circles of people gather together regularly to support one another in the manifestation of whatever their individual dreams are; where people easily align with each other because everyone wants only for the highest good of all... devoting time together for the sacred aspects of life; where they remember to create a spiritual environment that makes it easy for everyone in the community to experience Oneness."
Sacred Circle Mondays 9-11 am
When we sit together in Circle, we wait for inspiration; and when it comes, we speak as the enlightened beings we know ourselves to be.. Everyone is welcome to join us. No reservations are necessary, and there is no fee.....

To Be Announced
Bert Levitt MA, LPC has been working with couples and individuals for over 38 years. He has seen firsthand that everyone has within them the ability to change. The skills set that Bert brings to his practice comes from a wide array of sources and experiences.
He has worked with abusive partners, addicts, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, chronic pain syndrome, and numerous other conditions, as well as all sorts of life and relationship issues. Working with couples to clarify intentions and act skillfully is a special focus. His marriage of 35 years has been his greatest teacher in couples counseling.
Bert has been nurturing and facilitating our meditation group here at NaMestoy since its birth in 2011.
This is what he has to say about meditation: "My life long spiritual quest has led to my current meditative practice. The non-dual (not two but one out of which all things arise) way of meditation that leads to an awakened heart in the most direct way I know. Ramana Maharshi, perhaps the best known teacher of the non-dual way here in the west, also instructed students to meditate this way.
During the meditation time we search inside ourselves for the “I” we most fundamentally believe ourselves to be. The work is to put all our attention on the inner feeling of “I”, holding that feeling for as long as possible. Aides in this quest are questions to pose to ourselves; "From where does this 'I' thought arise?" Or "Who am 'I'”?
What we discover is that the “I” which we believe to be our individual self in the world vanishes when searched for. In it's place appears Absolute Being. Residing effortlessly and constantly in unshakable Absolute Being is theAwakened State.
Format For Meditation:
10:00 - 10:15: First Meditation
10:20 - 10:50: Second Meditation
10:50 - 11:50: Third Meditation
12:00 - 1:00: Fourth Meditation
1:10 - 2:00: Fifth Meditation
We sit in silence together most of the time and take breaks occasionally for walking meditation and brief discussions. Participants may come and go as they please while still respecting the silence.
Donation: Free

to be announced Healing with Karen
We are happy to have Karen Cole, our beloved energy healer, with us the last Sunday of each month! She has so many modalities of proficiency. During the week she is coordinator of wellness at Central High School here in Cumming. She is certified in yoga, Aruvedic medicine and naturopathy so she does more than just reiki healing while she focuses on each indiviidual who enters the sacred healing space in our meditation room. Having such a comprehensive approach to healing and wellness, she can always suggest a natural way for us to heal and maintain our body, mind and spirit. The minute we enter the room we can sense the holy Presence of Spirit. Karen becomes the conduit through which blocks in our mind, body, and spirit are removed so that our natural ability to heal ourselves is released. This Sunday Karen will be working with individuals in the meditation room while the rest of us will be receiving healing from the Gongs and group healing from one another.
Love offerings accepted
(Please note that the times for Meditation and Healing Circle has changed. Some of us want to attend the "Waking Down In Mutuality" gatherings at the Unitarian Universalist Metro Atlanta Church in Roswell at 11420 Crabapple Rd. It meets on the second & fourth Sundays each month from 4-6PM. Everyone is welcome to attend these meetings, too)
