I want to encourage you to come to these free/donation groups and meet your community! This is wonderful, non-intimidating way to explore new avenues that you may not have felt comfortable going down before.
We are also offering some great workshops and events in the coming weeks including Robin Mandley and Sharon Kay leading a workshop based on the writings of Patricia Cota-Robles; See the film The Return of the White Lion hosted by Kari Noren-Hoshal, Thursday night at 7 p.m.; And next week we look forward to Channeling the Great Mothers with Aurora on Monday; a talk on Breathwork with David Allen on Tuesday; and Deep Journaling with Christine Stewart on Wednesday.
I'm very excited to announce that Julie Madill has been added to our group of regular practitioners here at breathe books. Julie (who was one of my very first Yoga teachers back in the mid 90's!) is a highly empathic and intuitive reader who now is offering her services in Karmic Astrology and Angel Readings. Her first day at breathe books is this Thursday, August 12, from 1 p.m. - 6 p.m.
My reading with Julie was filled with very clearly-delivered messages, which helped me understand some shifts and changes that were occurring right before my eyes, which I had not yet realized! Her direction and intuition really helped guide me to decisions that were creative and useful. And she is just so full of heart! I think you will love meeting with Julie. She'll be at the store on the second Thursday of the month. Call us to schedule a session.
Until next week! Hope to see you soon,
Love,
Susan

Thursday, August 12, 1 p.m. - 6 p.m. Empathic
Angel Readings and Karmic Astrology with Julie Madill: Individual Sessions
Julie Madill
| Angel readings help connect us to our higher selves and the
energies around us. They awaken our intuition so we can identify and interpret
signs and symbols. Astrology gives us the tools to identify prior life gifts
and talents, as well as make conscious blocks and karmic patterns. Dreams are
messages from the unconscious that help identify our fears and desires, and can
even be prophetic. Learning to listen to our more subtle selves allows us to
find peace and happiness in any circumstance. Julie is a highly empathic and intuitive person who is
very in tune with the body. She has decades of experience as a yoga
teacher/student and is a certified karmic astrologer and angel healing
practitioner. Cost: Angel readings: $50/ half-hour, $80/ hour Astrology or
combo: $100/hour, $125/ hour and a half. |

Journaling with Christine Stewart

appreciate all that we've accomplished and consciously choose to deepen the
experience of the weekend ahead. We write in silence, in the same way a group
gathers to sit in meditation together. In this way, everyone will leave more
centered and ready to enjoy the coming weekend. We will always end with a gratitude
list. (This class may be extended for several weeks if participants are
interested). Christine Stewart is program director for arts in
education, literary arts, and children's events with the Maryland State Arts
Council, and director of Maryland's Poetry Out Loud program. A former
artist-in-residence with Creative Alliance in Baltimore, Ms. Stewart is the
founding director of the successful Write Here, Write Now workshops and has
