Hello All!
Jenn and I are in New York this week making our way through Book Expo America, meeting cool authors, arranging new events with publishers, and generally schmoozing! We'll write about our experiences when we get back later this week. (Jenn had dinner with Rick Springfield last night!)

Dr. Michael Mirdad will be teaching a two-hour Introduction to Tantra workshop this Thursday evening, May 27. Michael is one of the most highly respected teachers of Tantra and Sacred Sexua
Dr, Michael Mirdad
Michael
lity
in the world.
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 also offering one-on-sessions (energy work) on Thursday and Friday. He is a healer and counselor for individuals and couples and has conducted thousands of classes on Sacred Sexuality all over the world.

And have you ever wondered why some people run cool and others run hot? Why do people react with anger and frustration while others in the same situation withdrawal and remain quiet?  According to Ayurveda everyone has a certain mind/body constitution called a Dosha and it's because of your primary Dosha that you behave and react in certain ways.

Once we understand how the Doshas work we can better understand the world around us and the people in it! So the next time the boss explodes and then acts like nothing happened you can blame it on his Pitta (fire) imbalance (and maybe offer him a little ice cream to cool him off!). Or if your friend talks your ear off on the phone and you can't get a word in edgewise (Vata/air imbalance), you can more easily forgive her verbosity and know it's just her Vata. Likewise, when one is on a creative roll their Vata is flourishing. A cool, calm caring personality is often due to balanced Kapha (earth and water).

This is really fascinating stuff! I'll be teaching a class on Saturday, June 5 all about the doshas and their attributes, and the foods and behaviors that can help balance them. You will love this class! See below for more details...

Also, I've just added a five-week Perfect Health Through Ayurveda class in July! So many people have asked me to teach this class again this year and I finally found the time! You can read all about the class on the website. We do limit the class to 20, so please sign up soon! We begin Tuesday evening July 3 through Tuesday August 6, 6:30 - 9:30.

That's all for now! See you all soon.

much love (I really mean that!),

susan

The response has been so overwhelmingly positive and exciting! Thank you so much...

Sunday, June 20, 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. Inner Clarity (IC) Sessions with Debra Greene

An Inner Clarity (IC) session is like Feng Shui for the mind. The human being is an energy being with many layers forming our personalities and spirits. These energy layers are subject to disturbances created by stored emotions, limiting thought patterns or belief systems. When these disturbances remain in the energy system, they can cause ripple effects into other aspects including the mental, emotional and physical bodies.

 In an IC session, light-touch kinesiology (muscle testing) is used as a sensitive feedback tool to access information from the body-mind  system to uncover hidden limiting beliefs. Because muscle testing responds to words, questions are asked and answers given in a way that disassembles defenses and old thought patterns. Debra uses a variety of energy-based techniques to re-set old programming and transform automatic reactions for a new and improved you.  IC is a powerful opportunity for self-discovery, transformation, and healing. You can expect amazing insights and energetic help for making the major shifts your life path calls for. Clients are fond of saying that one session is like a year's worth of conventional therapy.  Come prepared to look at your stuff and come prepared to let it go-for good! Cost: $120

Saturday, June 26, 1 p.m. - 6 p.m. Magical Awakening Workshop with Brett Bevell
Brett Bevell
Brett Bevell
Magical Awakening is one of the most powerful and yet playful forms of Divine energy healing available on the planet. Practitioners who learn the first level of this eight level system gain skills far beyond what even most Reiki Masters can do, running energy healings on large groups of people simultaneously and at a distance. Based on an ancient concept in Celtic Shamanism called the Three Cauldrons, or primary energy wheels, the first level of Magical Awakening awakens these three energetic wheels within our own energy system, allowing us to harness energy from them to heal ourselves and others.

In this first level training you will receive an empowerment to activate all three of these energy cauldrons, and learn how to use this Divine healing magical force on yourself, in your life, and for healing others and the planet.

This energy is specifically designed to realign human beings with the natural world, and release the illusion of being separate from the Divine intelligence that is the root of all life. This spiritual healing system can work on both physical, emotional and spiritual dis-ease, by awakening us back into knowing our place of unity with the Divine and with all life that springs forth from the Divine, including mythological aspects of Divine intelligence where often our greatest power resides. Brett Bevell is a Reiki Master and author of the recently released book Reiki for Spiritual Healing as well as The Reiki Magic Guide To Self Attunement. Brett has taught workshops at Omega Institute of Holistic Studies in Rhinebeck, NY and at Alex Grey's Chapel of The Sacred Mirrors in Manhattan.
