Hi Everyone,
| So you may notice that the photo to the right -- which is usually just a picture of me -- has two people in it. I decided to use this photo because in just a few days, Larry and I will be married!
We met close to two years ago, right here in breathe books. Larry brought in a book to show me on earth energies by his friend Hugh Newman. We began a conversation around the book that just kept expanding and going and growing and will never end. And on Sunday, we will make this union official in front of family, friends and the Universe.
Over the past six years, breathe books has expanded my world, deepened my amazement of the wonders of the Universe, and introduced me to hundreds and hundreds -- maybe even thousands -- of incredible people. All those experiences allowed me to recognize my soul partner when he walked through the door.
I have watched many of you move through life changes -- I've seen relationships build and babies born and have shared your joys. I wish to do the same with you. I want to share this happiness, joy and love we are feeling with all of you.
Have a wonderful week and, after a few days off, I'll return to the shop all married! I look forward to seeing you then.
love to all,
susan weis-bohlen

Wednesday, September 22, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. Deep Journaling with Christine StewartChristine StewartIn a quiet space, participants will respond to questions, prompts, images, objects, or music through writing. The goal is to pause to 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.  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 taught at Carver Center for Arts & Technology, the Odyssey Program at Johns Hopkins, and the Baltimore Museum of Art.

Thursday, September 23 & Saturday, September 25, 1 p.m. - 6 p.m. Empathic Angel Readings and Karmic Astrology with Julie Madill -- Individual Sessions
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.

Thursday, September 23, 2 p.m. - 6 p.m., Tarot Readings with Cece Lee
Cece uses tarot as a vehicle to
assist people in uncovering the wisdom of their own unconscious. As
everything is energy, in the query process your own energy goes into the
cards too-you're the driver in the journey to a land of symbols. The
reading is a  helicopter-like view of all the influences you will see
affecting your present situation. Her heart's desire is that each
reading will help assist, clarify, and affirm your inner wisdom to bring
you greater happiness and peace.
Cece has studied and practiced
Western forms of divination like tarot and astrology for over 17 years,
and is also a Buddhist in the Tibetan tradition. Cost: introductory
rate, $45/hour |
