students will explore principles of manifestation, through guided visualization, deep energy work, group discussion, music and movement.  Participants with explore indigenous and world music, movement and meditation techniques in an experiential process that they can then employ in their daily lives.  As students organically contact that "little" voice within to determine what it is they most desire, we will focus on health, career, personal issues, and specific projects, accessing inner support and gaining spiritual synchronicity in our daily lives.  Techniques employed in our work together include those from the Plains Indian Medicine Wheel and Hindu Chakra System. As the producer of the Montgomery College World Arts Festival and a professor of World Music, Dawn draws upon the sacred music and principles of many Indigenous cultures. Dawn Avery has been leading meditation groups for over 20 years and has been privileged to study with great masters including the Dalai Lama for 30 years.

Heal Your Past Lives with Lynn Lewis: Individual Session

Past lives have so much to offer us in terms of healing. Reincarnation and rebirth give a whole new meaning to the idea of "living in the past!" Working with your past lives can be an effective way to erase karma and create more love and light in this lifetime. Your higher self carries the memory of those past lives and brings them up for healing when you're ready to do your work. Most of us on planet Earth have already lived hundreds, if not thousands, of lifetimes. And don't be surprised if they haven't all been human lives, on this planet, in this dimension, with physical bodies -- one can learn lessons in non-human form too. Readings with healing in mind offer another way to learn your lessons so they don't have to be repeated in this or future lives. If the idea of a past life reading appeals to you, then Spirit may be telling you it's time to erase some karma and live more joyfully in this life!

  

Lynn has been doing past life readings since 2004. Her process involves connecting to your higher self to access the past lives that offer healing. Lynn works with a team of angels who protect the connection and assist in understanding what work needs to be done and how to get it done. The client is invited either to offer issues that need to be worked on or to just allow Spirit to direct the reading. Interactive discussion about how to work with the reading is an integral part of the reading session. Cost: $60 for a 45 minute session

  

Sunday, February 10, 2 pm - 3:30 pm 
Meet the Author: Marsha Lucas PhD: REWIRE YOUR BRAIN FOR LOVE Creating Vibrant Relationships Using the Science of Mindfulness

With a passion for neuroscience and the ability to relay it in a clear, unintimidating, and often funny manner, neuropsychologist Marsha Lucas delves into how the human brain works - or often doesn't - in relationships. Rewire Your Brain for Love explores how we developed our current relationship wiring, and how to modify it through 

mindfulness meditation, including a short daily meditation practice can result in real brain changes that support seven key relationship benefits, including improved communication with yourself and others, an enhanced ability to handle fear, and being more emotionally authentic and resilient.

Marsha Lucas, PhD is a licensed psychologist and neuropsychologist who has been practicing psychotherapy and studying the brain-behavior relationship for over twenty years. Prior to entering private practice, she was a neuropsychologist on the faculty at the Emory University School of Medicine.

Upcoming venues for Dr. Lucas include the Omega Institute (June, 2013) andthe Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health (August 2013).
