Ah-Man Freedom Newsletter April 2009
Hello Friend,

I want to share this flyer that provides more details on the Spring Wellness Fair described below.  I'll be speaking at 11:00am.  I invite (and encourage) you to share the flyer with friends and family.
 
And if you're in the area that day, please mark your calendars and come out.  I'd love to see you there!
 
Keep an eye out over the next few weeks for additional email communications from me.
 
I'll be sending you reminders of upcoming events and workshops.  I will also be sending you out a survey to get your feedback on this newsletter, my blog, my website, etc.  I really want to know what things you like, what you don't like and what kinds of information and resources will be helpful to you.
 
When you receive the survey, please take a few moments to complete it and share your thoughts.

Michael Hoare
SPRING HAS SPRUNG!
 
Spring is finally here, and it's a beautiful time of the year.  The flowers are beginning to bud, and their colorful beauty will soon delight our senses.  Days are lasting longer.  And Mother Nature is hinting at warmer days ahead.
 
April is also host to holidays that represent several different religions.  Some of us are able to honor these holidays with the traditional rituals and customs, while others cannot.  Perhaps they feel too dogmatic.  Nevertheless, they still want to acknowledge the holiday in a way that keeps them connected: connected to spirit; connected to their personal God.
 
Below, I have highlighted some of the major holidays that fall in April, and provided you with a link so that you learn more about the belief system and importance of the particular day.
 
In my blog this month I will talk about how we can celebrate these holidays without the religious customs that do not resonate with us.  Also, I will talk about the perceived differences between spirituality and religion, and discuss whether there is really any difference at all!
 
Here are a few of the main religious holidays celebrated this month, in chronological order:
 
Ramanavami - Hindu, http://www.salagram.net/rama9.htm
 
Palm Sunday - Christian, http://www.intermirifica.org/lent/palmhist.htm
 
The Prophet's Birthday - Muslim, http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/prophet-birthday
 
Mahavir Jayanti - Jain, http://www.theholidayspot.com/mahavirjayanti/
 
Passover - Jewish, http://judaism.about.com/od/passover/a/all_pesach.htm
 
Theravadin New Year - Buddhist, http://www.buddhanet.net/festival.htm
 
Good Friday - Christian, http://christianity.about.com/od/holidaytips/qt/whatisgoodfrida.htm
 
Easter Sunday - Christian, http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/easter-sunday
 
As you enjoy this wonderful month, try to see the all the beauty the Creator has made available for our enjoyment.  That is Her gift to us, and what we do with it is our gift back to Her, The Divine Mother.

COMPLIMENTARY SPIRITUAL COUNSELING

Starting now, and for a limited time, I am making a very special introductory offer of a FREE 30-minute spiritual counseling session, valued at $60.  

You can use your free session to discuss recurring issues, important decisions, painful relationships or anything else that is keeping you from enjoying your life.

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS AND SPEAKING EVENTS

When it comes to learning how to cope and enrich your life, sharing the thoughts and experiences of others via blog can be effective, but nothing beats the healing impact of human interaction.  And that's what I provide at my workshops.  You will better understand your own life experiences and the resulting disconnections from your heart.  My goal - and passion - is to help you open your heart and find the freedom and joy we are all meant to experience.  Please share this information with those who have a need.

During this workshop, I will share my personal journey; from being completely cut off from my heart due to childhood abuse, drugs, alcohol and the loss of several loved ones, to finding Trust-Forgiveness and Acceptance in myself, God and others.  I will introduce you to the secret of being human and help you see your life from a different perspective.  After the sudden death of my fiancé two weeks prior to our wedding, my angels urged me to share my story. I rejected their urgings until I realized that sharing would help me and others heal.  My book, I Am Ah-Man, Man-Heart-Trust, goes into more detail about some of my more recent trials and tribulations, how I have learned to see them from a spiritual perspective, and how that knowledge helped me reach a deeper level of understanding and healing, and develop a simple, yet powerful process of helping others reconnect to their heart.  This workshop will help you better understand your own life experiences and the resulting disconnections from your heart. I will help you open your heart and find the freedom and joy we are all meant to experience.

During this event, I will present an introduction to "An Invitation to Trust" series of Ah-Man workshops.  

This lecture will address the ways in which certain life experiences such as addictions, abuse, death, unhealthy relationships, etc., distort our perceptions of, and reactions to, life and relationships.  I will introduce another way of processing these experiences so that you are able to regain a level of trust that has been lost.
