Terry McGill, Thursday, August 14, 6:00–7:30PM, $37.50

Is stress draining your energy and clouding your judgment? Has your joy left? Whether it’s pressure to produce, the administration reducing funding, or the urgency of modern life, your unconscious stress patterns can be transformed.

In this uplifting 90-minute event, you’ll discover a breakthrough approach that addresses stress at its deepest level — beneath the reach of coping strategies. 

​

Using unique Tao Calligraphy, you’ll be guided to connect with the powerful Source field that transforms subconscious conflicts that create stress.  Unlike relaxation techniques that you have experienced, Tao Calligraphy transforms the energy and information patterns stored in your subconscious and in your body. Order, connection and harmony are re-established. This unique Tao Calligraphy art form naturally transforms conflicting needs at the subconscious level.
Are you ready to experience something that can transform stress at its root? Are you ready to re-experience the joy and passion that you felt earlier in your life? Say YES!

Benefits that others have experienced:
● Relaxation of mental tension, during the event 

● Feeling lighter, calmer, and more balanced
● Improved focus and decision-making
● Reconnecting with inner creativity and motivation

Full Disclosure: Your stress has been developing for months, more likely for years. So no, you won’t completely retrain subconscious patterns in just 90 minutes. Terry gets that. That’s why you’ll receive a book by Dr. and Master Sha, with nine Tao Calligraphy and exercises. Plus, you can join these Transformative Thursdays whenever you want another boost.

Linda Rogers, Sunday, August 17, 3:30-5PM, Free!

​

Let’s explore why you feel empty, even if your life is full. Come join Linda Rogers for a casual evening of truth-telling.  We’ll talk about what so many of us feel: the guilt of feeling unfulfilled, the shame of wanting more, and the exhaustion that doesn’t go away. You’re not the only one who feels this way—and you’re allowed to want something more.

​

Together, we’ll explore:

• Tips for using your energy to improve your emotional well-being

• A powerful, hidden key to releasing shame—and the exhaustion that comes with it—so you can feel at peace with who you are, not just who you try to be

• An optional group share with like-minded women, or simply the chance to listen and realize you’re not alone in your inner experiences

• A Reiki-infused sound experience

​​

You’ll leave feeling refreshed, renewed, and reconnected—to what’s real and true inside you.  If something’s holding you back—fear, doubt, not knowing what to say—come anyway. You deserve this space.

​

Terry McGill, Thursday, August 21, 6:00-7:30 pm, $37.50

​

Exhaustion can feel like something is wrong – but you’re not broken. You’re simply drained. When your energy is low, even simple tasks can be difficult. Projects stall. Some days, you can only manage the basics.

​

Experience this:
Discover how to restore your energy from the root level. We’ll use Tao Calligraphy, a powerful and unique art form that creates a high-frequency field. This field can boost the energy-building practices that the ancient masters perfected – brought to us by a living master.

Even if you have practiced Qi Kong, this is beyond what you practiced. The Tao Calligraphy works at the levels below mind, body, and energy. When we transform at the deepest level, our natural vitality, stamina, and vitality can flow again. Just bring an open mind and willingness to experience something new.

​

You may experience, as others have reported:
● A calmer, clearer mind
● Relief from the invisible “push-pull” of inner conflicts
● The motivation, energy, and stamina to complete projects
● A greater sense of ease and balance

​

Full Disclosure:
This exhaustion has been growing for months, perhaps years. So no, you won’t completely rebuild your energy in just 90 minutes. Terry gets that. That’s why you’ll receive a book by the world-renowned Chi Kong lineage holder and healer, Dr. and Master Sha. You’ll have nine different Tao Calligraphy and methods to use, so you can continue to rebuild your energy. You can return to a Transformative Thursday session whenever you want another greater boost.

Brandon James O'Neil, PhD, Sunday, August 31, 3:30-4:30PM, $25

Swedish scientist and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) has been called the Buddha of the North; he might also be called the first modern dreamer. Beginning in 1743, Swedenborg earnestly searched his vivid dreams for psychological and spiritual meaning, leading to his initiation into "heavenly secrets" in 1745. This lecture explores Swedenborg's dream diary through Jungian analytical psychology, tracing archetypal structures through what scholars identify as the longest and oldest series of dreams prior to the birth of modern psychology. Drawing from O'Neil's extensive experience in dream work, attendees will also gain useful insight into their own sometimes puzzling dreams, lifting what Swedenborg called the "shining black veil" that separates us from deeper levels of consciousness.

Brandon James O'Neil, PhD studied at The University of Iowa and is currently pursuing Dream Work Certification through The Haden Institute. He is a member of the C. G. Jung Foundation of New York, and his work has appeared in Psychological Perspectives, Image, and Quadrant: Journal Of The C. G. Jung Foundation.

Jaynie Farnsworth, Saturday, September 6, 11:30-1:30PM, $25
 
For expecting parents, new parents, postpartum caregivers (including grandparents), and birth workers.
The postpartum period can be overwhelming for women, who often serve as the emotional center of the home and, in some cases, the primary breadwinners. This pressure sends unconscious messages of "Get back at it; you can't afford to rest." However, we can’t afford not to rest. Evidence shows that intentional care and rituals honoring the significance of birth can reduce postpartum anxiety and depression.

Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to recovery, emphasizing nourishment for the body/mind and spirit. Key components include a diet of warm, easily digestible foods, prioritizing rest and warmth, and herbal remedies for hormonal balance. Practices like Abhyanga (self-oil massage), yoga, and meditation promote relaxation and stress relief.

Honoring the 40-day postpartum window allows for profound healing and transformation, setting a foundation for longevity. Participants will gain essential tools for a resilient postpartum recovery.

Jaynie Farnsworth, MA is a certified Ayurvedic Practitioner and Kundalini Yoga instructor. Her expertise consists of over 15 years of professional study in Yoga and Ayurveda. Jaynie’s passion for the healing arts brought her to Asia and Latin America. Being a swimmer, she brings an awareness of the body's healing abilities to her work.

The voice heals the body by stimulating the vagus nerve, inducing relaxation and calm. Allowing yourself the freedom to hum or sing along increases your internal vibration and makes you an active participant in your healing journey.

Please bring your own nest and dress for warmth and comfort. Feel free to bring anything that may enhance this relaxation and connection experience like stuffies, crystals, cards, journals, etc.

​

Sound & Shadow Collective share the belief and understanding that deeply connecting to ourselves and each other from the heart promotes healing that reverberates throughout our communities, creating a better life experience for all. It starts with knowing and loving ourselves through heart-brain coherence. We offer private sessions on a sliding scale.

​

Join Sydan Aguacielos and Anastasia Darkwater of Sound & Shadow Collective for a Reiki-infused, heart chakra-focused Immersive Sound Ritual.

Our sound rituals are a unique and interactive experience. We open with shamanic drumming and breathwork, before exploring our voices in collective OM’ing and vocal toning with a drone instrument called a shrutibox, we'll then ease you into an introspective crystal bowl meditation with the option for 1 on 1 energy healing. In closing, we guide you back with the shrutibox and om’ing, and finish with light somatic movement to balance and re-energize the body.

Gift yourself this hour to open your heart and absorb the healing frequencies.

​

Singing and humming is optional but encouraged. You don't have to be a great or even good singer to participate.This is not a performance. The voice heals the body by stimulating the vagus nerve, inducing relaxation and calm. Allowing yourself the freedom to hum or sing along increases your internal vibration and makes you an active participant in your healing journey.
