Patti Conklin.
Life Forms- What makes you uniquely you?: Are you an Intellectual Life Form? Are you a Spiritual Life Form? Are you an Energetic Life Form? Are you a balance and combination of all three? Let’s take an honest look at what makes us all human. Each of us has an incredible essence inside of us, how do we use this precious energy? The key to realizing who and what we are can be found in the relationships that we have each and every day. Do you really know yourself? What energy are you giving, not with your words, but with your essence, not in your work, but in the totality of your life? Let go of your secure ideals about self by pushing the boundaries of awareness. Truly looking at behavior is an incredible way to understand what kind of Life Form you are. Join Patti for an in depth, life changing, energetic open talk about LIFE.

The Spiritual Teachings of Ralph Waldo Emerson - Ralph Waldo Emerson: Ordained Unitarian Minister. In 1832 he had a desire to publish a periodical that would speak the truth without fear or favor. He wrote ten lectures on English Literature and in 1836 published the essay “Nature”, which established his career. Emerson’s writings were called Literature in his day; however, in studying his work it is very clear that his writings are of a purely Spiritual nature. In this workshop, we will learn how Emerson wrote essays on the subjects of philosophy and theology, had lectures on these matters and was violently attacked by the orthodoxy. We will discover that he stressed the importance of developing and maintaining one’s individuality and self-radiance, acknowledging inborn goodness and intuition in people and belief that man can approach God through nature. The class will cover his later essays where he speaks to the Power of Thought and how we create our own lives through our thoughts and actions.
Liz Bowman - Arkansas
Take Back Your Power! - This is the year for manifesting your dreams. To do that you need to be in your power, and know and believe that you are powerful. Many people have given away at least part of their power to someone who they consider to be smarter than they are. Only you know who you are and what you need. Are there beliefs which no longer serve you? How many activities are there in which you engage which are diversionary? Are you allowing others to take your power? Bring your dowsing tools to begin the journey.

The Oracle in Your Dreams (9 Steps for Interpreting Your Dreams) – In earlier times, people journeyed outward to places like Delphi in hopes of receiving divine guidance to “Know Thyself”. Oracles, shamans, and healers in every culture have known that the answers we seek exist in the dream-world. From the meaning of what has been to prophecies of things to come, dreams lift us from the preoccupation with everyday life, freeing us to experience the realms of the soul. In dreams, the blind see, the deaf hear, and the dead live again. How does this happen, and why? Dr. Barbara Condron distills five decades of research, study and teaching in Mind and dream phenomena into a 9-step sequence of thoughts and actions that unlock your inner potential for health and wholeness. This class teaches how “Heal Thyself” may well be the Oracle’s edict in modern times.

The Breath of Life - Breath is one of the most important factors for health, happiness, fulfillment, and enlightenment. Breath and concentration-meditation are the king and queen of consciousness. We breathe every minute of every day yet most people do not know how to breathe properly. Every cell of the physical body needs breath, life force, and oxygen. Therefore, learning to breath properly and most efficiently enables the individual to promote greater health and also raise consciousness. The root word for spirit is spiritus, which means breath. Knowing how to breath consciously is an integral part and of utmost importance to raising consciousness and to knowing the Real Self. To know the spirit we need to learn to consciously breathe. In this class, Dr. Condron will offer exercises for learning to consciously breathe and direct life force.

How to Awaken Your Psychic Self- At this presentation we will learn and practice techniques enabling one to open their awareness to new and insightful possibilities, which are within each of us. Experience the energies of self, objects, and the universe, while gaining and combining the “How To” knowledge of intellect with the hands on experience of doing Psychometry is one of the techniques which Rev. Deborah will be sharing in this class. Intention is the beginning of awakening to your natural abilities of self. Energy, sound, and light are all parts of you which will be explored at deeper levels. Then we will expand these same energies of self. Being psychic is not really a ‘sixth sense” as some say. Being psychic is learning to open and expand the five senses, which are God given.
