Kindred Minds Meditation and Sharing
2020-06-01 19:15 - 20:45
Join us each week for this inspiring and grounding evening. Each month we will share a different topic that centers around connecting with your inner power and strength, followed by a short sharing circle on our topic, followed by inspiring guided healing mediation.
Our topic for June is the Value of Loving Yourself. Learn how loving yourself is not selfish, it is a wonderful and important skill that we are born with but sometimes gets over shadowed by life circumstances. Stop judging and criticizing and blaming yourself and others, while learning the true value of unconditional love for yourself.
In our modern world we are taught to put the needs of others before ourselves and to feel guilty and diminished if we are making self care a priority. Learn how we got here and the tools you need to be able to release the guilt and judgement of yourself and others all the while building on your own inner strength. With Jacki Zimmerman.

Automatic Writing
2020-06-03 19:00 - 20:00
Automatic writing is a very simple and effective method for channeling your Spirit Guides, Higher self and angels. It allows you to ‘download’ information from spiritual sources and transcribe it on paper as it comes in, while bypassing the conscious mind.Like all good spiritual practices, automatic writing can lift your mood, provide you with something immovable to hold on to during chaotic times, give you clarity and help you to see your life from a larger perspective.
We do not go through this life without spiritual support and assistance – our guides, Higher self and angels are always there for us. Automatic writing can come from your soul, Spirit Guides, angels, deceased loved ones, ancestors, or even masters and teachers. You choose where you would like it to come from, and then call on that source of guidance. Automatic writing is a bit like a therapy session with a wise, loving, high-vibrational being! If you’re upset, you may find comfort. If you have a problem, you’ll often find a solution. If you need help making a decision, you may find guidance.
Connecting with Spirit in this way can also really give us a sense of perspective in our lives. We are meant to live our lives connected with Spirit – otherwise, we can get so bogged down in the minutiae of daily life and lose focus on what really matters. Automatic writing is also a good way to get to know yourself on a deep level, by asking yourself questions like: What does my Spirit want? What are my values? Who am I? Why am I here?

A crystal grid is a group of crystals placed together to work for a common purpose. By placing the crystals in a precise geometric pattern the energies become focused and directed.

Qigong Life Force Renewal
2020-06-07 15:00 - 16:00
We are all moving through Spring with thoughts of summer fun and activities. Are you ready?
Join Dee Duquette for one hour of Qigong. An ancient Chinese art form, incorporating gentle movement, breath, and guided visualization. Wear comfortable clothing and find a space that allows you to stretch your arms out in four directions. No mat is necessary, but if you prefer, you can be seated in a chair.
What you’ll experience is unlike any Western exercise. While moving “energy” (qi / chee) throughout your body, all systems will benefit greatly. For example, blood pressure will drop as blood vessels dilate allowing blood to flow more freely. A sense of peace, calm and clarity will be apparent and a relaxed yet active effect will be felt in the muscuoskeletal system.
You won’t want to miss this opportunity to increase your energy, and uplift your mood as the “happy” hormones flood your brain, heart and body! With Denise Duquette. Register Here>

Evidence of the Soul
2020-06-11 19:00 - 20:00
You want more. More of something. But you’re not sure what that something is. It’s like there’s a constant itch in your life. The feeling that something is missing. The feeling that there must be something more IN life and something more TO life. Something more to be gotten out of life.
Delve deep into the connection between the body and the soul, and learn its supernatural secrets. Massive cell replacement (mitosis) implies that there may be a “guiding energy” behind it. How do we access this guiding energy, or even know if it’s real?
There is more to being alive besides our physical existence. There is a spark behind our thoughts, emotions, and aspirations. Could these really be confined to only our living cells? Do the bones, muscles, blood, and breath of our body originate our sense of passion, fear, anger, sadness, or even love? Is there an emptiness within our physical body, or might there exist an independent self-nature — something we call a “soul”? And can we transcend inevitability and make changes within our soul for the better? Discover if there is something exceptional to life, and of a higher quality. Author Lee Sumpter brings to light these transcendental questions and inspires you to unearth you own answers. Register Here>

Navigating Your New Normal
2020-06-12 13:00 - 14:00
There is a lot of talk these days about the “new normal.” Depending on where you live, the various social distancing strategies, face masks, hand sanitizers, canceled plans, and constant changes have us all grappling with a new way of life. It is safe to say we are in uncharted territory. Despite all the challenges we are facing, there is an opportunity to refocus and shift our lives.
While we pine away for the old norm, there are still many things we can do to make the best of our new reality. Diane Lang will show you how to cope with the changes and turn a bad situation into an opportunity for growth. Remember, even the little things we do have a great impact on the world as a whole.

Life After Death
2020-06-13 13:00 - 15:00
When a spirit leaves the body and goes into the astral world or astral plane, the silver cord breaks and we find ourselves in a temporary stage of consciousness in our spirit. In Tibetan Buddhism the Bardo is a state of existence between death and rebirth, varying in length according to a person’s conduct in life and manner of, or age at, death. In some schools bardo is an intermediate or transitional state between death and rebirth. It is the central theme of the Bardo Thodol (literally Liberation Through Hearing During the Intermediate State) from the Tibetan Book of the Dead. With Mary Linn Clarke. $20. ONLINE Register Here>

5 Magical Talismans - Transforming Pain into Power
2020-06-20 10:00 - 12:00
For all of recorded history magicians and wizards have sought the secret of alchemy to turn base metal into gold. However, true “gold” is to be found in the experience of patience and kindness; goodness and mercy; acceptance and forbearance; wisdom and clarity; gentleness and beauty; selflessness and nobility; benevolence and generosity.
For years we have been told, “You create your own reality!” and, “Change your thinking, change your life!” And yet, years later, many of us are still experiencing a reality that is less than we desire. For a long time we have thought that if we could just “get the guy, get the girl, get the car, get the job, get the house, get the spouse, get the kids, get the better job, get the better house, get the promotion, get the grandkids, get the office in the corner…” on and on it goes. And still we feel empty.
In this class we will discover 5 alchemical talismans that, if used in the right way and in the right order, will change the “base metal” of a painful, unsatisfactory reality into the “gold” of a joyful reality; the “base metal” of struggle and suffering into the “gold” of a life of ease and grace.

T’ai Chi Basics
2020-06-21 15:00 - 16:00
Whether you are seeking an exercise regimen, a path to better health, or simply a way to relax and find your ”center,” T’ai Chi fits that need. T’ai Chi are forms of kung fu, but are quite different than the martial arts application. While kung fu may appear swift and combative the T’ai Chi forms seem dreamlike and flowing. Conventional forms of T’ai Chi consist of eighty or more movements and take a considerable amount of time to learn and perform. While the 24 basic movements from the Yang style are just as legitimate as the advanced forms, they take less time and are suitable for the beginner and advanced practitioner.
This hour class will include warm-up stretches, tapping, and address the first five movements (whole body techniques). Wear comfortable clothing and no sandals. Clear your mind, de-stress and breathe. With Denise Duquette. Register Here>

Let Go and Let God
2020-07-02 19:00 - 20:00
“Let Go, Let God,” — we know these words, but do we really understand and abide by their meanings? What are we really letting go of? Could it mean, that we let go of anger, grief, fear powerlessness and suppositions? Could it be that these emotions and states of mind block us from receiving our highest requests and goals? When we ask “God,” our job is to release our desires or concerns to Highest Power unequivocally. We know that in time, the answer will come, and the situation will change, transition, or evolve. Sometimes patience becomes our lesson, as we hold back our doubts!
“Let Go, Let God,” offers us an opportunity and a challenge for us to learn more about ourselves, our faiths, and beliefs. It is one thing to affirm, quite another to BE that trust. You have heard the slogan, “act as if…?” “Letting Go,” really means letting go of emotions of separation, that is felt from one’s own “God Source.” It is not about weakness, but rather about the strength of our faith and conviction. As we do this, we come to realize that our life suddenly becomes easier, simpler, and less stressed. Trusting in that “Divine Spirit,” quenches our spiritual thirst, and that which we no longer need or serves us, falls away. Rev. Zan will share her thoughts, helpful hints, insights, and her personal experience of Letting Go and Letting God in all aspects her life. She asks, “..was it ever meant to be any other way?” She will offer easy and helpful exercises to assist you on your journey. Join her for this conversation. With Zan Benham. $10. Register Here>

Astral Travel Class
2020-07-18 16:00 - 18:00
Have you ever woken up from what you thought was a dream, but your senses are relaying to you that you are not lying in your bed?
Maybe your nose feels like it is touching the ceiling?
Or have you had the sensation of falling back into your body and woken up with a shock?
Then you might have experienced an ‘Out-Of-Body Experience’ (OBE). This is when the astral body disconnects from the physical body and projects to other places or realms, and this is what is meant by astral travel. This exciting class will give you the techniques used to astral travel your spiritual body. As you learn to travel through the astral planes, you may experience an increase in personal development and psychic abilities, sleep more deeply and find meditation becomes more restorative.
We can learn so much about the nature of the mind through deep meditation. Moreover, the out-of-body state enables us to peek into the structure of reality, to look into our subconscious mind and to explore spirituality in a truly experiential way. With Barbara Harrison. Register Here>
