Greetings!

Mothers' Day is just around the corner. Do you have a gift yet? Thinking about flowers or candy or dinner at the local restaurant?

 

Here's what Mom really wants: PEACE AND QUIET!

 

So, why not give her a gift certificate to The Gathering Inn? She can use it for an overnight where she can rest, relax, have a massage, enjoy wonderful food, sleep, read, meditate, walk. She'll love you for it!

 

Or you can purchase a time slot for her to have a Spirit Essence Portrait done by internationally known artist Melissa Harris here at the Inn on May 19th and 20th.

 

Or Mom can use her gift certificate for any one of the wonderful workshops we have coming up this Spring.

 

Ladies, share this with your family and maybe they'll get the gentle hint. If not, you can "mother" your own inner child, by lovingly taking care of your spiritual needs with some time out of your usual busyness to feed your soul.

MERRY'S MUSINGS

Synchronicity

 

Everywhere I've turned this past month, I have seen evidence that the Universal Source has a much larger plan than I could even begin to imagine. It is a plan to fill my life with abundant goodness, to populate my world with the people I need to be in relationship with, to provide the mirrors I need to truly see myself, to give me the tools to enlarge my worldview.

SPIRIT ESSENCE PORTRAITS
Melissa Harris Orignal Work 
May 19/20 
WITH MELISSA HARRIS

Have you ever wondered what aspects of your being would reveal themselves to a psychic or "intuitive" and what these qualities would look like in a painting?    

Melissa tunes into you and in a 90 minute session does a watercolor painting of
your unique essence as it appears to her in a semi-trance state. Learn what
Melissa "sees" and own a Melissa Harris original painting.

 

Great Mother's Day gift!
