Dhyana Bartkow    INNER MOVES is a centre for body-mind-spirit rejuvenation on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, just a 40 minute ferry ride from Vancouver. Inner Moves is an approach to life which recognizes that all the big outer manifestations of reality start from small moves within each individual; and that this inner transformation is the most profound when the entire hologram of human beingness is involved.

"Crystal Creek: meditation and sleeping cabin near Faery Meadow" At Inner Moves, we treat each of the realms of body, mind, emotions and spirit as a miniature of the whole person, and each can be an entry point to know oneself, a way to grow and evolve. The more pieces are infused with the light of consciousness and put together, the larger, brighter, and clearer the individual becomes. Dhyana Bartkow (MA, B.Ed., Black Belt) recognized this in 1982 when she became the first person to create and teach a Holistic Fitness program in Vancouver.

"Crystal Creek: deck and meadow for movement arts" She felt the next step was to extend consciousness and recognize the human experience as part of the entire hologram of creation, in oneness with "all our relations". When she moved to the Sunshine Coast in 1992 her dream was to create a wilderness retreat centre to provide a space to experience the dance of life at one with the elements, so that students could discover and heal their own elemental nature, and in so doing, help heal the planet. While continuing to teach daily classes in NIA (a fitness art in which she is a black belt), Yoga and Meditation, and to help individuals in crisis through aura healing, she acquired a sacred and unique 10 acre parcel of land within the provincial forest, just half an hour from the ferry to Vancouver, and called it 'Crystal Creek' in honour of the cleansing waters that run down from Mt. Elphinstone. As Crystal Creek has evolved so has the community involvement with many projects. Go to www.chancellor.net/crystal_creek/ to see the lastest activities.

Whether staying in cabins or tents, the main focus at Crystal Creek, is healing the fragmentation of the soul by being with nature in movement, meditation, ritual, full moon drum and fire circles and trance dances. The spirit of Aloha pervades from her life with Hawaiian hula, huna and lomilomi bodywork. "Crystal Creek: rustic shelter near blueberries and overlooking the swimming pond

"View from hot tub at Inner Moves Studio & B&B, Gibsons"        More recently Dhyana has completed the Inner Moves Studio and B&B in Gibsons with magnificent views of the ocean and mountains, close to beaches, nature walks and village life. This location allows people to come simply as foot passengers on the ferry for private or small group retreat, to take her local classes or personally designed tutorials, and to enjoy the hot tub, massage, aura healing, and lomi lomi (Hawaiian temple style bodywork) that are available.
