Soul Mending: Healing Trauma with Soul Retrieval
New York Open Center See all classes by this school @ 22 E 30th St, New York, NY
Traumatic experiences often unconsciously force the psyche to suppress painful feelings to continue functioning in everyday life, and numb our senses to carry on a survival strategy, repeating it in a vicious circle. This is viewed as “soul loss”— the wounding/fractioning of a person’s spirit due as a cause of physical/psychological dysfunction. Shamans journey to the spirit world, retrieve the lost part, and reintegrate it into the client’s...

Collective Shamanism – The Power of Large Group Healing
The class was a joke. We left. They even told us they retitled it. For the first hour the guy who was anything but spiritual read from some papers and repeated himself about buying this and that over and over as well as recited multiple religious passages. Then wanted us to share our energy with him and 60 other people. When it said it was a class of 15 or less people. So we left. It was the opposite of everything I was ever taught. He even had us try and heal each other. Which ummm. You don’t do. A total joke. A scam. PS and everyone entering the room should be cleansed before partaking in that type of situation. Waste of money and time. -
Calming the Nervous System
The course was extremely helpful in reframing how we see stress. The instructor, Priti was so wonderful and made me feel heard and seen. Her good cheer and positive energy was infectious. I’d highly recommend this course. My only complaint is that it was only 3 sessions, once a week. I’d have liked there to be at least 2 sessions a week! -
Medicine-Making with Cannabis Hemp Plants
Informative and very interesting. I recommend for anyone interested in alternatives to traditional medicine. I love this plant and believe in the science. the samples we took home were ample. I've been using the lotion on some sore spots where i think i'm developing arthritis. Whether real or psychosomatic, i have relief. i was concerned about sitting in a class for all those hours but it went by quickly -- which means the content was interesting and the class was well paced. -
Earth Moon Gong Bath
I had a wonderful experience with the gong bath. I felt my left side of the body letting go. The only thing I found distracting was the rapid heavy breather near me. Unfortunately the gong couldn't drown out his noise (even though the gong was loud enough to drown out the traffic outside!). But I tried to ignore him and just focus on the sound of the gongs. -

Mind, Mood and Happiness
This was my first course with Course Horse. I was optimistic and looking forward to this day after reading the course title and description. I paid a babysitter for the day to care for my 3 little ones. I reserved my Uber early to make sure I was on time. The facility is beautiful! The gift/book shop cafe is so well kept and cozy. The actual workshop started ok. I was disappointed to see that there were only six other women registered for this course. The instructor began his lecture, reminded me of my study hall college days. I took out my pad and tried taking notes, but found it very difficult to follow. First, the presenter just seemed to be rambling on and sidetracking. In addition, the street noise was unbearable as the windows were kept wide open. The instructor then began a 25-minute guided meditation, which was good. However, the lights were on. I’ve meditated many times, but never with the lights on. We then spoke about our meditation experience for about 20 minutes. Then again we did another 25 minute meditation. This did not make sense to me. We then went to lunch and came back to an extremely dense 15-slide, or so, PPT which the instructor read to us word for word. I have 2 masters and have been a teacher for over 16 years. I felt like I needed a PHD in neuroscience to understand this presentation. He went over every minute detail of the brain’s composition. It was impossible for me to process all of this. The final portion was a 40 minute meditation. I could not take it anymore and left before commencing. The presenter was clearly knowledgeable; however, there was a huge discrepancy between the course description and the actual workshop. Aside from the first meditation, I do not feel that I gained practical knowledge that I can apply to my life to improve my mood, mind and overall wellness. I’m very disappointed. I’m out $150 for the course, $120 for childcare, $60 for transportation and I lost a day with my family. -

Healing Spices: Herbal Medicine in Your Spice Rack
The class was huge - 40 people. Many of the recipes were given without specifics and we were told that we could find the recipes in the book. I honestly don't know what I paid for. I didn't get hands on learning, I didn't walk away with a more clear understanding, and although I did learn some helpful things (the reason I'm not making it 1 star), it was haphazard at best. The teacher said, "Hmm.. what should we do next?" more than three times.
