December Gifts and Graces: Answer the Call
2023-12-01 18:00 - 19:00 | Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, 1538 E Southern Ave, Tempe, AZ, 85282, United States
“The Divine does not necessarily call the qualified; the called are qualified by their willingness!”
Have you ever felt an inner knowing that you were to do something, yet you just couldn’t quite put your finger on what that something was? Or, have you ever known what you were called to do, yet question why you were called, or if you were really qualified to answer the call?
You are not alone! Many people experience an inner itch or urge to step up to a higher calling, yet find themselves questioning! Will Zecco and KC Miller have experienced this exact thing, and have figured out how to step beyond confusion or the “imposter syndrome.” Join them for Gifts and Graces as they share five very specific steps for getting out of your own way, how to tune into what’s really true for you and the prayer to use for continued, on-going guidance. There will be song, laughter and affirmations, along with a Reiki blessing!
PS – If you are a Reiki Practitioner, please join us to offer the guest of Gifts and Graces a blessing of prosperity and protection.
Will Zecco has answered many calls in his life, from hairdresser to Singer to Director of Yoga Student Services; Will has felt the fear and questioned his calling. On each step of reinventing himself, there has been a lesson in building resiliency, developing emotional intelligence and self-awareness, and cultivating a growth mindset to get beyond adversity and stress.
KC Miller was a farmer’s daughter, with a bad case of dyslexia growing up, who started her career selling grain bins in northern Colorado. There was nothing that technically qualified her to start a nationally accredited college that became approved by the US Department of education, yet she was willing! She firmly that ‘there is a plan’ for every soul here on earth, there are no extra souls, and that we will be shown the way when we listen with our heart.
After Gifts and Graces, come and experience a mini energy session from one of our practitioners or vendors. Toe Reading, Reiki, Tarot Reading, Polarity, Coaching and more will be available. Gratuities are suggested.

January Gifts & Graces: Empowering your Mind
2024-01-05 18:00 - 19:00 | Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, 1538 E Southern Ave, Tempe, AZ, 85282, United States
Rumi says, “what you seek is seeking you”… perhaps it’s true. The evidence of the power of our minds is undeniable. The ancient texts of the Buddha tell us that no external condition can be the cause of our happiness; only the mind has that ability. When people clearly understand how they are influenced, the root causes of struggle and what we can do with our minds to make things better are revealed. The result is sustainable happiness and radiant joy.
As a Buddhist monk, Bhante Sujatha has lived a life dedicated to the cultivation of mind and heart. He has been given a front row seat to the incredible transformations that have developed within so many people that he has taught through his experience on how to empower their minds.
Cultivating these qualities will help you to find strength and happiness, as well as nurture in you a burning desire to add more love to the world. When we understand our mind, we begin to re-shape our behavior and feelings about so many things. It’s the most loving act of service one can do for themselves and the world.
*Choose Loving-Kindness Items and Bhante’s publications will be available for purchase on site, and Bhante will be available for book signing following the program. Proceeds from all sales go directly toward supporting Bhante Sujatha’s charitable work in Sri Lanka and around the globe.
About Bhante:
Bhante Sujatha, a 40+ years Buddhist Monk, is singularly focused on adding more love in the world. Bhante teaches loving-kindness meditation to people around the globe for all those seeking the art of happiness and contentment. His approach to meditation is deep and simple, bringing core Buddhist teachings to everyone in a way that is practical and easy to understand. A joyful, radiant, funny and wildly energetic monk, Bhante will help you obtain peace that can only be found in deep silence. Bhante believes his purpose is not only to teach meditation, but also, “teaching people how to be happy.” For more information visit Bhante’s website www.bhantesujatha.org
After Gifts and Graces, come and experience a mini energy session from one of our practitioners or vendors. Toe Reading, Reiki, Tarot Reading, Polarity, Coaching and more will be available. Gratuities are suggested.

Forgiveness Ceremony with Sound Healing ft. Will Zecco
2024-03-29 18:00 - 19:00 | Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, 1538 E Southern Ave, Tempe, AZ, 85282, United States
No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. We learn as we go. Forgiveness means the we stop the shoulda, coulda, woulda beens and let go of the idea that we can create a different past. Forgiveness is a gift, the most beautiful form of Love. In return you will receive untold peace and happiness. The Greek translation of forgiveness literally means to “let go.” Forgiveness is the ultimate act of kindness.
It’s said that if forgiveness benefits the one we are forgiving, then that’s an added benefit, a gift, yet that’s not really the point. One of the obstacles we face in forgiving someone we perceive as having done us harm is not wishing them well, not seeing their benefitting from our forgiveness as a gift. The reality is forgiveness is equally as important to the person who is doing the forgiving. It gives you the ability to take back your power and eliminates suffering. It all begins with you! In times when our ego gets bruised, or we feel like we are belittling ourselves by forgiving, it is really the opposite. Forgiveness is for you. It is not an apology to those that hurt you, rather forgiving yourself for feeling hurt, sad, fearful or angry. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and then to discover that the prisoner is you.
Join Will Zecco for a Forgiveness Ceremony with Sound Healing and Guided Visualization. Will Zecco, Director of Yoga and Success Coach, has been serving SWIHA for about 17 years as a teacher, mentor and business coach for on campus and online students. Will brings over 40 years of entrepreneurial experience. His greatest passion is to serve others with an open heart.

2024-04-05 18:00 - 19:00 | Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, 1538 E Southern Ave, Tempe, AZ, 85282, United States

Join an inspiring night full of innovation as John Sanders shares his experiences of box-busting! Big ideas come from forward thinking people who challenge the norms and invent the world they want to see rather than submitting to the limitation of what has always been done. Following John Sanders’ insightful presentation, multiple Bodyworkers demonstrate their Out-of-the-Box massage skills, known a “Mad Skills Mania.” Feel the energy that happens when a room full of Artists shares their knowledge, modalities and body mechanics all at the same time, including SPECIAL GUEST, SWIHA Founder KC Miller!

He is certified in Advanced Sports Massage, Advanced Medical Massage, Reiki Master, along with many other modalities. John has been teaching Massage Students as an Instructor for the past 18+ years and has loved every minute being an Instructor at SWIHA.
