Hello All!
Still feels like fall, but I'm convinced I'll be complaining about the heat soon!

If you are reading this email before 7 p.m. tonight you are in luck because you can still sign up for Maria Klusewitz's Personal Coaching class. She is hosting a series of classes here, so if you are interested in going deeper into your unique passions, career path or next moves in life, join Maria to learn more. She uses the Enneagram, blended with science and spirituality to help you clarify your journey. More details below.

And we are very excited the numerologist Craig Wright is joining us on Saturday for a fascinating look at the way numbers can determine your personal calling. Craig is a warm and generous teacher -- a great way to spend your Saturday afternoon!


We have an incredible weekend coming up, May 27 - 29. We are hosting Dr. Michael Mirdad. Michael is one of the most highly respected teachers of Tantra and Sacred Sexuality in the world. Please take this incredible opportunity to meet one-on-one with him, or to take one of his classes.

You do not need to be in a relationship to enjoy, explore and apply sacred sexuality -- a practice which can help you experience unconditional love. Ultimately, it opens you to living bliss, not just feeling it.

Michael is a healer and counselor for individuals and couples and has conducted thousands of classes on Sacred Sexuality all over the world.Michael

If you want to explore the world of Tantra, you can meet with Michael privately May 27 or 28, and/or come to his classes on Thursday, May 27 and Saturday, May 29. Please call us for details and to schedule appointments. As Michael is coming to us from the West Coast, please note we have a deadline of May 21 to sign up. If we do not have enough participants signed up by then we may need to postpone this visit. So please let us know ASAP if you would like to attend!

That's all for now! Please see special notices and event details for May and June below.

You can also take a look at our email from last week describing our Community Investors Plan here.
 
with love to all!
