Dear Friends:
 
In this Special Edition are three sections:  Topics, Predictions, Other Announcements
 
Topics:
 
At our December RAHM Meeting, we discussed topics of interest for the coming year.  Please see attached file. 
 
Feel free to add to this list.  Just send us an email with topics you would like to see for future RAHM meetings.  Remember that the topic must be something that can be taught to the group, and in which we practice the technique on each other.  It cannot be just a lecture.  It can also be something that you are learning, rather than one in which you are an expert. 
 
More importantly, we would like to start lining up Presenters for 2007.  If there is a particular topic or topics you would like to present from the list, please send us an email. 
 
Predictions:
 
Our last meeting was a fun and successful "skills" exchange.  At evening's end, we spontaneously launched into an exercise in group prophecy.  The topic was the upcoming US Presidential Election.  Below is a summary of our predictions. You can flag this for future reference, to see if we we turn out to be right or wrong!
 
Our methodology was a mix of predictive tools - Pendulum, Tarot, I-Ching, and Psychic Reading. 
 
The readings were fairly consistent, with one exception.  At the beginning of our process, the Republican Party seemed to have an edge.  Later, we reached a concensus that the new President would either be an Independent, or a Republican President with a Democratic Congress.  The overall tone of the new Presidency was very positive, including characteristics of harmony, balance and a centrist ideology. 
 
Individual front-runners were subjected to our methods.  The oracles gave thumbs down to Hillary Clinton, possibly due to gossip, rumors and scandals.  Barack Obama seemed to gain in stature, but did not win the Presidency.  John McCain got a strong thumbs up at the beginning, but this was inconsistent with the "no Republican" prediction.  There was an indication that the winner may be a dark horse, a "good" Republican, or perhaps none of the front-runners that we looked at.
 
This was a fun way to practice some of our oracle skills in a group setting. 
 
Other Announcements:
 
We discussed taking a few moments of group healing or prayer during some future meetings, on a request basis.
 
The group has met primarily at Adriana's home.  Some participants offered their homes for future meetings, as long as the group is not too big.  The new metaphysical center in San Rafael (The Cosmic Connection) has offered to host us as well.  If you can host a meeting, please let us know.   
 
A core of regular participants has been forming.  But nobody is excluded!  If you are on this mailing list, you are invited to attend any of our meetings, make suggestions, do presentations, etc. 
 
We prefer that people arrive at 6:30PM.  As time has gone by, people have been coming later and staying later.  We would like to reverse this time-drift, as many people have to work early on Monday mornings - so try to be on time. 
 
Please stay tuned for our upcoming January Newsletter. 
 
Happy Holidays!
 
Love,
 
Steve and Adriana
