The Center of Unlimited Possibilities

your place for well being
September 2009
No, it's not the end...it's the beginning.

"I refuse to turn on my furnace in August",  is what I heard a friend say yesterday as she sat across from me in her wool sweater and khaki pants.
 
"So, you won't need me next week 'cause the kids are back in school", our sitter remarked as she was leaving our house today with a grin that said "freedom!"

What? 
Really?  
Hmmm...

Summer may be cooling its heels, however we're getting ready to blossom forth with
new and interesting workshops, classes and events to stimulate spiritual and intellectual growth and higher consciousness.

If you wake up feeling uninspired or unoriginal, know we're going to keep thriving like a wildflower in summer and we invite you to join us.

Below are our featured events and classes for September and a preview of an amazing October.

Thank you for your continued interest and support of the Center.  We look forward to seeing you soon!


Peace and Warmth
