Do you sometimes feel angry or frustrated and you can’t easily shift out of it? Do your family members lash out irrationally in anger and rage? You or your kids may be “reversed”. Reversal is a common situation where a person’s energy is literally going the opposite or scattered direction. When your life force or energy is moving the wrong way, things don’t seem “right” and it is not. When you are Receptive and your life energy is moving in the forward or correct direction, you have a chance to embrace real progress and Light! Bronwen Felesina is an Intuitive EFT Practitioner.

Insight and Intuition: Third Eye Activation for Higher Consciouness
Diana Byrnes, Sat. May 4, 2-5 pm, $30
Throughout time, many claim that the third eye is the gateway to inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness and the Higher Self.

In this workshop we will open that gateway by way of the pineal gland through sound meditations and using step-by-step techniques to activate and open the third eye. This sets in motion an expansion of higher realms of consciousness, other dimensions and deep intuition. Diana Byrnes has been an intuitive counselor for over 25 years.

Ego to Soul: Telepathic Communication with Nature
Carole Devereux, Fri. May. 10, 7-8:30 pm, $12

Ego to Soul: Voice of the Heart
Carole Devereux, Sat. May 11, 11 am - 2 pm $30
Imagine you have been released from old concepts and beliefs and you no longer suffer from the “self-importance” that once prevented you from surrendering to your Higher Self. You are experiencing self-acceptance, love and compassion. Since we were taught self-rejection in early childhood as part of the “domestication” process, we must pursue total acceptance as adults. This workshop helps you to apply heart-centered awareness to your Soul’s higher truth by engaging your Inner Witness. As spiritual seekers, we examine false, self-rejecting thoughts and judgments and learn how to transmute them with self-love and deeper understanding of our multi-dimensionality. Then, we are one with the universe, and the universe is one with us. Carole Devereux will discuss Soul lessons she has learned from her 15-year private practice as an Animal Communicator and Shamanic Counselor. AnimalInsights.com
