Wednesday, September 14, 7 p.m. - 8 p.m. Self-Healing Method through Bodywork and Movement

Come listen to Dr. Meir Schneider speak about his Self-Healing Method through Bodywork and Movement, a unique method and entire health-care system, preventative as well as rehabilitative. This method teaches awareness and subtle movement in the body, with attention given to each limb and joint, to the major internal organs such as the heart, lungs, and intestines and to all functional systems of the body. It employs specific massage and mobilization techniques for regeneration, e.g., to strengthen bones, improve nerve function, regenerate dystrophic muscle; increase joint mobility, release muscle spasm, improve wound healing, and to create a sense that more movement is possible. These massage and movement techniques amplify each other. This method of bodywork and movement also teaches exercises and meditations to relax the eyes, train the brain to command better vision, accustom the eyes to varying intensities of light and to balance the use of both eyes working together. Combining bodywork with vision improvement enables the practitioner to address conditions that other vision improvement or bodywork methods cannot. See more here.

Dr. Meir Schneider is a pioneer therapist who developed his method out of his own healing from blindness. He is author of publications such as Movement for Self-Healing, The Natural Vision Improvement Kit and Yoga for Your Eyes. Dr. Schneider will be signing books after his lecture. Cost: Free

Thursday, September 15, 7 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Astrology and Spiritual Growth led by Eric Meyers. Individual readings available 11 am - 5 pm.

There are many misunderstandings of what astrology is and how it works. Most Eric Meyers astrology is geared to inform people who they are, the basic personality structure. A spiritual approach reveals why we have a certain disposition. This lecture will present basics in understanding our astrological attunement from the framework of spiritual growth---from unconsciousness to greater spiritual awakening. In addition, we'll explore how to discern what the central lessons a soul is taking on. We will use some willing participants' charts as examples. No background in astrology needed.
Learn more about Eric here. Cost: $10 suggested donation

Friday, September 16, 11 am - 5 p.m. Individual Astrology Consults with Eric Meyers

Eric's astrology consultations aim to reveal the deepest levels of self-understanding: soul intentions, unconscious tendencies, inherent assets, and the general spiritual lessons needing to be addressed. Eric's approach is termed "evolutionary", which assumes that the soul learns and develops through successive lifetimes. Understanding the resonances from the past helps to bring about healing, integration, and closure. We are then freer to address the current life's intentions from a place of clarity and empowerment. This type of astrology places less emphasis on personality, and more on the spiritual work suggested in the chart.

Every chart is seen as a depiction of the movement from unconsciousness to greater spiritual awakening, and Eric is honored to assist clients in not only understanding, but also developing timely strategies to address the work at hand. Cost: Half hour: $50; hour: $80
