The Intuitive Skills Program

Begins Saturday April 30, 2011

 

With Jeremy Werner, L.Ac., CST  

 

The Intuitive Skills Program is an 8-week series of introductory classes that offers each participant the opportunity to learn new energetic life skills that may be used for self-awareness and empowerment, healing, and clarification of one's life purpose and direction. Classes consist of both lecture and practical exercises to enable one to explore, understand, and enhance one's natural intuitive and extrasensory abilities. Topics include human energy anatomy, energetic boundaries and alignment, running energy, clairvoyant viewing, energetic healing, working with Guides and Archetypes, and journey work. The material is cumulative, so all classes must be attended in sequence.

Classes meet Saturdays, 2-5 pm at the Asian Institute of Medical Studies at 3131 N. Country Club Rd., Suite 100, Tucson, AZ 85716. The series begins April 30 and runs through June 25. There will be no class on May 28 in observance of Memorial Day weekend. Class is limited to a maximum of 12 students, so please RSVP early. No previous experience is required. The total cost per person is $250, and a $100 deposit is required to secure your seat in the class. The balance of $150 will be due at the first class. A minimum of 4 participants is required to run the program.

If you would like more information, or would like to register for the class, please contact Jeremy at (520) 971-8200 or RSVP directly on Meet Up or (520) 322-6330 or jeremy@asianinstitute.edu.

With Rick A. Oliver, M.A., L.Ac.

Rick holds a Masters Degree in TCM and one in Clinical Psychology. Inspired by Alice Miller, Pia Mellody and Dr. Katrina Wood, he has developed a dynamic method of healing that incorporates modern Psychodynamic principles with Ancient Oriental Medical theories. The union of these paradigms conceived the hybrid form of healing called Psycho-Emotional Acupuncture which Rick birthed in his first private practice in Beverly Hills, California.  Rick has extensive clinical experience treating individuals suffering from addictions, eating disorders, codependency and other effects of childhood trauma.
