Tuesday, October 19, 2010
Hi Everyone,
 I feel like I've been away from the store a lot lately - with the wonderful wedding, then our fabulous Ayurvedic cooking retreat and several off-site events...so I'm thrilled to be back and settled down in my chair behind the counter. I've missed you! I know Betsy, Stephanie, Brooke and Phila have done a great job and I thank them so much. Of course they are still here to serve you, but don't be surprised if you see more of me.

This Friday night is the big night with Daniel Pinchbeck and Graham Hancock. These two extraordinary writers will discuss their favorite topics: Crop Circles, 2012, ETs, Plant Spirit Drugs and Shamanism, among other esoteric topics of interest to us today.

Daniel is the author of many books, including 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl.  His new book of essays is Notes from the Edge Times. His website, Reality Sandwich is a hub of new thought.

Graham is a world-renowned writer (Supernatural) and lecturer. His new book, Entangled, has been called by David Wilcock, 
"a stunning, mind-bending journey".

See this great video here.

This event will take place at St. Luke's Church next door to breathe. A $5 donation is suggested.
