The Awesome Power of Crystals!!!
Crystals are known for their abilities of receiving, storing, amplifying and transmitting energy. Each crystal has a specific mineral composition, physical structure and chemical properties. The healing energies of crystals and gemstones have been utilized by humans since ancient times. Crystals have also been used for meditation, spiritual growth and divination as they radiate a high pure vibrational frequency and are always tuned into divine energies. This workshops will cover clearing and protecting with crystals, crystal grids, charging and cleansing stones, making crystal water, how to use crystal wands & more!
How to Deepen Your Spirituality
one common thread is that wherever we are, we want to deepen our spirituality. If you are one of us, the first thing to do is become more mindful of both your inner & outer worlds. It's about the recognition & attention to the fact that you are but a part of a much greater reality than you can perceive. Sounds simple, but the challenge is that our hyper-developed, logical brains get in the way of the knowing of this reality. In this workshop, we will discuss different approaches and ways to deepen your Spirituality and to take you on the next level of Enlightenment!
Understanding Kundalini Energy: The Transformative Force
The term Kundalini is used to refer to the vital force or energy that we all hold within us. Often referred to as the "sleeping goddess" or "serpent power," it is represented as a serpent coiled around the Root Chakra at the base of the spine. As Kundalini energy rises and travels up the spinal column, it passes through each of the chakras on its way, giving each a boost and making it light up. Awakening the Kundalini energy, can thrust you into a whirlwind of attempting to make sense of what you are experiencing. It can lead to the union of personal consciousness, as well as cosmic & divine consciousness. In this workshop, learn about the Kundalini energy and how it can transform you & your spirituality.
How to Deal with Energy Vampires!!!
Do you have an Emotional Vampire in your life? If so, this workshop is for you! Emotional Vampires have a tendency to drain the energy out of everyone they come in contact with. They are exhausting!!! They often need constant attention. They always have some crisis or major life event. They are experts at eliciting emotional reactions out of others and then feeding off those emotions, regardless of whether they're position or negative emotions.
This workshop will help you identify what type of Emotional Vampire is in your life, and offer tips on how to manage it. We'll even have a questionnaire that will tell you if YOU have any traits of an Emotional Vampire!

Past Life Regression
What you are today is the sum total of your 'past', which not only includes your past from the present lifetime but also from all your previous lifetimes as well. Your personality is shaped by the memories and impressions of each and every moment of your past, which are stored in your subconscious mind. In this workshop, you will learn many interesting facts about past lives, as well as experience a regression to other lifetimes. Some of the benefits of past life regression are:

There will be questionnaires, exercises and a meditation. Join us for an evening of healing and sharing LOVE!

They feel unworthy of love, or unloveable. Allowing yourself the experience of love is essential to opening your heart chakra!

Crystal Singing Bowl Meditation - See Home Page
Since the time of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni (560 - 489 B.C.E.) the harmonics of singing bowls have been used to induce meditation and assist spiritual seekers to the state of enlightenment. Come experience the transformational power of a crystal singing bowl meditation using 7 bowls calibrated to each of the primary chakras in the energy body. The meditation will start with guided imagery and go into the playing of the bowls. Previously used in Tibet for meditation and ceremonial purposes, Singing Bowls are struck with a padded mallet and rubbed around the rim with a playing mallet to produce a fascinating blend of harmonic resonances and rich overtones.
The Chakras: What are they, how do they work
We have seven primary chakras, also known as energy centers, in our system. Each chakra corresponds with specific emotions and physical parts of our body. Eastern medicine -- and now traditional western medicine, too -- know that when there is a disruption in the flow of energy in our system, it can manifest in physical or emotional issues. In this experiential workshop, learn how the chakras work, how to determine if your chakras are blocked (a disruption in the energy flow), and how to optimize their well-being. Includes kinesiology, body scanning, using the pendulum, tuning forks and a guided meditation to optimize your energy flow.

We all have the power within us to take control of our life! It all has to do with how we think about ourselves, situations and our future.

Messages from Water: What they tell us & how it can help our well-being
Through the reknowned Dr. Masuru Emoto's work, we have been given factual evidence that the human vibrational energy, thoughts, words, ideas and music affect the molecular structure of water, the very same water that comprises over 70 percent of a human body. The body is very much like a sponge and is composed of trillions of chambers called cells that hold fluids. Learn how the quality of our life is directly connected to the quality of the fluids in our body by what we think, say and do. Includes a 35-minute video and discussion on how we can apply these discoveries to improve our lives on both the physical and emotional levels.
Emotional Freedom Technique
Some people undergo therapy for months or years for relief from many different issues or trauma with little of no results. Emotional Freedom Techniques is extremely effective in these cases, freeing people from phobias, anxiety disorder, anger, guilt, grief, physical pain, emotionally-based illness and much more. A holistic technique, EFT works with a series of gentle tapping on strategic acupoints of the upper body to help resolve a specific problem or issue.

Includes a guided meditation to help you more easily access this inherent ability.
How to See & Read Auras
Everything and everyone has an energy field around it -- an aura. Learn how to see auras and what the aura colors mean. The aura can tell us vital information about what is going on in our lives and how we are handling it. Using practical exercises, this experiential workshop will teach participants how to detect a person's electro-magnetic field, as well as how to begin to see auras of others and yourself. Includes guided imagery to help open your sensitivity to enhancing your experience.
The Law of Attraction: How to manifest your dreams, goals & desires
You likely know someone who gets eveything they want in life. You may even have felt somewhat jealous of that person because it appears they have it all, seemingly getting these things with little effort as if they were born under a lucky star. That's not true -- they are using the Law of Attraction, maybe unknowingly, which says we create our own reality. We attract those things in our life (money, relationships, employment) that we focus on. The Law of Attraction works regardless if you are working at it or not. The problem is that we can unknowingly be attracting things that we don't want. This workshop focuses on how to put the Law of Attraction into positive action. It will offer specfic tools and techniques to get you started and point you in the direction of manifesting the things you want in your life! Includes guided meditation.
A Liberating Goodbye: Cutting Energetic Cords
In every relationship, people exchange energy that creates an etheric cord that connects the two people. This includes old relationships and old ways of acting, reacting and interacting. Letting the cord remain intact can leave you dragged down, drained and unable to move forward in a healthy way.
