New Wellness Center Opening in Lincoln

[January 18, 2020]  

The Moksha Center is opening its doors this week to offer classes, events, and programs for health and wellness. Located at 517 N Sangamon Street, the Center is the creation of owner, Marcia Cook. Cook is also the director of Castle Manor, the local senior living community, and has 25 years of experience in the healthcare sector as a nurse, a Healing Touch Practitioner, and more recently a Professional Life & Leadership Coach. Her philosophy of care, and that of the Center, offers a holistic approach to wellness, honoring the connection of body, mind, and spirit.

Cook has gathered a small team of professionals to provide a variety of holistic services: Deiy Shuff is offering yoga; Joyce Leisman, Reiki training; Tara Drake, Ayurveda Wellness Balancing; and Marcia Cook, life coaching and Healing Touch therapy. Beginning this month are weekly yoga classes and in February several programs are on offer such as a Vision Board Workshop.

“Moksha" is a Sanskrit word meaning freedom, letting go or liberate. “The vision for the Moksha Center is to bring together like-minded people for a wellness journey, and to offer an environment that promotes self discovery, healing and connection,” says Cook. She wants the Center to be a place for exploring creativity and having fun—to be a community of sorts where participants can learn from each other and share their gifts to support growth and wellbeing. The Center itself is a creative inspiration in that it doubles up as an art gallery for local artist and sculptor, Jason Hoffman.

Further information about the Center and its schedule of offerings can be found at www.moksha.center.
