Hi There!
Our good friends at Matrix Energetics® asked me to let you know about their next workshops here in Baltimore. Many of you met the creator of Matrix Energetics®, Dr. Richard Bartlett, when he spoke and had workshops at breathe books several years ago. Since then, the work has simply exploded! Richard and his colleagues travel the world, introducing people to the truly incredible healing power we all have, which he calls Matrix Energetics®. A masterful and powerful teacher, Richard and his colleagues will help you focus on your innate healing power of transformation. This is the real thing, folks...and I've just about seen it all! I absolutely love these teachings. You will too. Here are the details:
May 3-6: Matrix Energetics Level 1 & 2:
The Level 1 & 2 seminar is about accessing transformation, empowerment and infinite possibilities, utilizing the extremely playful and life-changing consciousness technology known as Matrix Energetics®. Students learn to reliably and consistently move into the field of the heart to access the Universal Field of Consciousness Potential known as the Zero Point Field. From this point of intuitive awareness, all methods are easily accessible and provide for instantaneous and life-long changes in all aspects of reality.
This experiential weekend is designed for all to attend, play, learn and manifest amazing new possibilities. The course is open to students of any background. Whether you are an experienced healing practitioner or have little or no medical or wellness background, you can easily learn to play with the morphic field of Matrix Energetics to help yourself and help others. Based on widely known scientific principles of Quantum Physics and lesser-known Russian Torsion Physics, this powerful system of transformation is easy to learn and even easier to experience. There is no scientific background required. Click here to register.
May 7-8: Matrix Energetics Certified Practitioner Training:
Upon successful completion of all designated requirements, applicants will earn the title of Certified Matrix Energetics® Practitioner and will be able to use the Matrix Ene
rgetics® logo on business cards, brochures and select marketing materials. Active Certified Practitioners will also be listed on our official website under the category of Certified Practitioners.
Practitioners will be required to maintain their certification by attending one Level 1-2 Fundamentals or Level 3 Magic or Level 4 Mastery seminar per year. Practitioners will be eligible for the repeat seminar discount, if they have attended the same level previously, or they may serve as a staff intern/ facilitator as space allows. Click here to register.
The courses will take place at the Radisson Plaza Lord Baltimore, 20 W Baltimore St.,
Baltimore MD 21201.
This seminar is taught by the founder of Matrix Energetics®, Dr. Richard Bartlett, and his inspiring co-instructor Melissa Joy. Students learn to notice what they notice and notice what is different. Through this simple approach to reality creation, it becomes evident that reality is an illusion that is easily transformed with the support of the Unified Field. Special emphasis is also made in assisting students with getting out of their own way as well as letting go. All patterns and conditions, whether they are physical, emotional, mental, spiritual or financial can c
hange through a shift in consciousness.
This work harmonizes and enhances other modalities such as bodywork, massage, coaching, chiropractic, acupuncture, and techniques such as Quantum-Touch®, Reiki, as well as Reconnective Healing®. Practitioners find they obtain quick, observable results with no waiting and no running of energy.
Let me know if you attend! I would love to hear your feedback.
And back at the ranch so to speak...breathe bookstore café is coming right along! Construction is underway and hopefully by late May we will be up and running! Remember the bookstore will remain open during most of the construction. We will have to close for a few days in May but I'll keep you posted about that. I am so excited! Our "veganistas" (baristas) are in training and cafe equipment is arriving every day. We cannot wait to serve you!
Please see the April and May events below. So many great events -- please take your time to see what's happening and give us a call to register for a class, psychic reading, blessing circle, or whatever moves you.
Thank you all for the well-wishes during construction! We'll see you soon.
Much love,
susan

This month, philosopher and author Theodore Richards will be speakingaboutWisdom Education -- alternatives to the challenges of modern education.  His new book, Creatively Maladjusted: The Wisdom Education Movement Manifesto, will be available at the talk.
Nearly every discussion about schools assumes that the goals of our educational system are appropriate and worthwhile. From the White House to the little red schoolhouse, these values are seldom questioned. The debate about schools is about test scores, productivity, and quantifiable outcomes. In this conversation, Ted will argue that these values both undermine our children's learning and, in the cases where children are "successful", guide our children toward destructive, rather than creative lives.
Theodore Richards, PhD, is a poet, writer, and religious philosopher. He is a long time student of the Taoist martial art of Bagua and hatha yoga. He is the author of Cosmosophia: Cosmology, Mysticism, and the Birth of a New Myth. He lives in Chicago with his wife and daughter. Cost: $5 suggested donation
