The biweekly or monthly schedule is a good one to keep those hard to notice issues from creeping up on you that come with the lifestyle most of us Americans live. This includes combating changes in posture that happen from desk jobs, driving, and looking at our phones too much.

If you are coming in for something chronic, like headaches, insomnia, chronic back pain, or fibromyalgia I suggest starting with as often as twice a week and gradually spacing out sessions to every two weeks as symptoms improve. 

I would recommend a similar schedule for acute situations, like frozen shoulder, whiplash, or other injury recovery situations. But for these acute situations it is always best to see your doctor first. 

Massage is also essential for athletes to maintain muscle health and flexibility. If you are training hard for something a massage 2 to 3 times a week will help you perform at your peak, and I would say once a week is a minimum for any athlete. In the off season it is important to still get a massage at least once a month.

In summary, if your goals are general wellness and maintenance biweekly or monthly is probably a good schedule for you. If there is something more specific we are working on I probably want to be seeing you weekly to start!  

So how long has it been since your last massage? Is it time to schedule your next session?

Saturday, November 16th is our next dance, and then we will be taking December off and returning in January!

This is a open public event. All are welcome, dress is casual and no experience necessary! Just come with an open heart and a willingness to try something new. Suggested donation $10.

This weekly Kirtan circle has become the heartbeat of our tribe, and it started with a simple, yet most definitely courageous act of a couple of acquaintances reaching out to each other and saying we wanted to play music together. 

As our core group has stayed steady more people have joined us until it became clear we had outgrown our house. But, thankfully, we have found a new home for now at the community room in the pool house of our neighborhood, and have room to grow!

So if you want to join us we start pretty much every Tuesday at 7:30 and sing and play together in an informal and relaxed atmosphere for about two hours. Sometimes we are 5 people, sometimes we are 20. And we want to be clear, this is not a performance, but a participatory community creation. All are welcome and no experience is necessary, but an open heart and a willingness to participate and sing along with us is requested. And for now we are keeping this event totally free.

If you want to be put on the weekly reminder list for Tuesday Kirtan and to receive more specific directions to the location in our residential neighborhood in North Charleston please e mail spsingleton.gwb@gmail.com (my husband) and be asked to put on the Tuesday night Kirtan mailing list. 

Community is important. If you haven't found that sense of belonging don't change yourself to belong. Be the one who creates it. I guarantee your tribe is out there searching for you.

For the crust: 

Preheat oven to 375 F. Pulse all the DRY crust ingredients in a food processor, or I use my bullet blender. It just takes a little longer and I sometimes have to do it in small batches. Then mix together egg and butter and mix into dry ingredients. I do this with a wooden spoon or my hands. If consistency seems too dry add a little more melted butter. If its too wet add more flour. Then push evenly into a 9" pie pan and bake for 10 minutes. 

For filling:

Whisk all ingredients except eggs and egg yolk, then whisk in eggs ad egg yolk one at a time (don't over whisk) and pout into pie crust. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 375 for 1 hour or until filling is set. (fork should come out clean when you poke it, and pie should only be a tiny bit jiggly. Let cool at room temperature to avoid cracking.
