We dwell in a sea of energy, and within this sea of energy, everything is connected: outer and inner, known and unknown. When we consciously work with this connection – in other words, when we walk between the worlds of form and spirit as a matter of course – we become empowered to positively affect every aspect of our life experience. In this fun workshop, popular author and speaker Tess Whitehurst will share energetic techniques (such as space clearing, personal clearing, meditations, vibrational remedies, and protective visualizations) that can help us to keep our personal energy clear and sparkly, get into a positive life momentum, and more frequently experience things like health, wealth, love, happiness, and overall well-being. Tess Whitehurst (Venice, California) is an energy worker, feng shui consultant, and speaker as well as the author of the mega-popular Magical Housekeeping and the newly released Good Energy Book. 
Some of us are mothers. Some aren’t. Some of us are virgins. Some aren’t. But we’re all daughters of the Harlot. What does that statement mean? How is it directly linked to the challenges we face around expressions of sexuality? How does it affect attitudes and beliefs around mothers and mothering? This class will provide you with a new perspective of Mother’s Day. What happened to us as women when sacred sexuality was removed from spirituality? How can we bring that back? Through writing, sharing, guided meditation and creation of an altar we will honor the Sacred Feminine. Ingrid Kincaid is a teacher of Northern Traditions Spirituality. She is a reader of Runes.

Feeling beautiful is about much more than our appearance; it can be about feeling heard, removing shame, removing reactions that create stress or discomfort for us and about our body image, too. The exercises we use in this workshop will rewrite non-verbal information in our brains to give us an enhancement in clarity. This clarity enables us to see our beauty in the eyes of others, see love in their eyes and see our own beauty when we look in the mirror. Being an empathic healer, Bob Milstein wanted to remove the cause of suffering. So, he developed Cerebrology® as a way to add clarity of perceptions, reactions and intent, that is lasting.
