THIS SUNDAY
April 27, 2014 
10:30am-11:30am

"Aging and Dying Gracefully:   
The Gifts of Animal Hospice" 
with Sage Lewis

In every moment we are dying small deaths - moving through fear and deeper into love. If we are able to fully embrace life (and love), we can easily and gracefully embrace all of the small, medium and larger deaths that show up.  

 

Join Sage Lewis as she guides you to access simple and easy ways of fully living your life, while embracing and letting go of the smaller and larger deaths. Sage will be sharing the heartwarming depths of her experience with supporting her 12-1/2 year old Plott Hound and souldog, Java, through aging, hospice and a natural dying process last Spring.

 Earth Healing Activation: Bringing Heart and  

Ease to the

Earth Week Grand Cross

with  

Jeffery Grundtner

 

      Friday, April 25, 2014

7:00pm-9:00pm

 

Dynamic tensions (as represented in the sky by this week's planetary Grand Cross) offer us an opportunity for personal and world transformation.  By Friday, the greater tension of the pattern will ease and the Moon and Venus will bring more loving energy to the configuration. Sitting in circle with the planets, we'll organize our own energies using sacred geometry and Earth resonances, to create a powerful field of Love and Light. We will use this energy field to embark on inner journeys, weaving positive energy around the world. We will deepen our understanding and then engage directly in the transformational grand cross energy, in a positive way, with an Earth Healing Activation/Meditation. 

 

This event is open to anyone interested in knowing more and is a follow up to April 14th's "Embrace Transformation!" experiential astrology event.

Linda developed TTouch in 1983 for horses. It works at the cellular level.

Many got relief from everyday physical and emotional issues such as headaches, backache, neck pain, depression, and sensitivity to touch.

Linda has written 15 books about TTouch, printed in twelve languages. Her work has been featured many times in prime time television in North America, Europe, United Kingdom and Australia in innumerable publications.
