 Reiki III - Master/Practitioner Level - Usui Tibetan Enhanced Tradition
 with Reiki Master Teacher Wendy Snow Fogg
 

Saturday/Sunday
January 23-24, 2010
9:00 a.m. - 4:30 pm

When Dr. Mikao Usui received the Reiki symbols and the power and wisdom to use them while meditating many years ago on Mt Kuryama, he accessed the same power that is available to all of us. Shamans from time immemorial have interfaced the spirit world with the human and Usui can be considered to be one of the most powerful shamans the world has known. The practice of Reiki opens the intuition and thins the illusionary veils between spirit and matter. Within this opening lies an invitation to work directly with spirit in the healing process the way shamans and indigenous healers have done for centuries. Hands-on Reiki becomes a vital portal for the dynamic ways of working with the Universal Life Force Energy.

In this experiential weekend, Wendy Snow Fogg combines the diverse teachings she has received with the discoveries that have come with fourteen years of Reiki practice. Through ceremony and practice, assisted by the four elements, plants, music, sacred stones, shamanic journeys and Reiki spirit guides, Wendy facilitates your opening to Shamanic Reiki.  You will receive the Master-Practitioner Tibetan Buddhist symbol and attunement; receive another archetypal symbol for use in healing work; learn to work with your spirit guides and the four elements in the healing/cleansing process; practice body-centered journeying techniques for yourself and your clients; learn energetic extraction techniques and etheric body-work approaches; energetic practices to support spiritual healing and the path of the healer.  Open to all Reiki Level II practitioners and up - masters and master-teachers as well.  (This level is pre-requisite to the Master Teacher class.)  Please bring a lunch and snacks. 

$395.  Registration Deadline January 17.

Pediatric Attention Deficient Hyperactive Disorder and the Autistic Spectrum Disorders from a Naturopathic Perspective

Attention Deficient Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and Autistic Spectrum Disorders are some of the most common psychiatric disorders among children today, with the incidence of these disorders on the rise in the western world. The growing connection between the gastrointestinal tract, inflammation, and the microbiota presents new insights into etiologies, management, and treatments. This lecture will look at an alternative approach to the treatment and management of these disorders, including botanical medicine protocols, nutritional supplements and dietary manipulation.

 

Health Issues in Male and Female Fertility

Fertility issues for both men and women have increased significantly over the past decade. Fertility is affected by many aspects of our daily lifestyles, environmental toxins, hormonal disruption, stress, diet to name a few. Understanding the impact of these aspects of living on one’s fertility can be insightful in creating healthy fertility plan for an individual or couple. Creating a treatment plan including diet, nutrition, botanical medicines, lifestyle changes, detoxification practices, and spirit/mind medicine can be useful in restoring fertility health.

 

Botanical Medicines used in Pregnancy, and Labor

Traditionally in many cultures herbs have been used to assist women in pregnancy and birth. Look at the traditional uses of western herbal medicines in birthing, along side of some of the modern research that supports traditional plants and adds some new plants to the birthing materia medica. Review herbal remedies for common complaints of pregnancy, a botanical birth kit, and helpful herbal formulas for preparing for labor. Contraindications, toxicity, and safety issues also discussed.

 

Botanical Medicines for Postpartum and Lactation

This class will review the common issues arising during the postpartum and breastfeeding periods including postpartum bleeding, vaginal pain, tissue healing, postpartum depression, scant breast milk, nipple soreness, bowel issues etc. A variety of herbal and natural therapies will be discussed in terms of use, preparation, application, dosing, and safety for both mother and baby.

     -  What correspondences can we find to the chakras, and the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual states of being we all participate within, in our work and in our daily lives?

 

     -  How can we relate to the importance of chakras through numerology, the plant world, and the world of gemstones and seashells?

 

     -  Can an expanded exploration of chakras help our attempted holistic world view?

 

     -  If you are fascinated by chakras, or curious about exploring these questions, this is your class.

 

     -  Because Kate Leigh is an avid aromatherapist, there will be the inevitable blending session, during which each participant will create an essential oil-based product for their           own use.

 

Cost: $45 (plus $5 materials fee paid directly to teacher)

Thursday May 6                                                                                                 Intro to Reflexology

7-9:30 pm                                                                                                                      with Kate Leigh, LMT

 

Let's work on our own and each others' feet! Why? Because we will feel much better. Because we can share energy and develop intimacy through footwork sessions. Because we can explore how the feet act as portals to the nervous system, and zone channels of the body, for delivery of blockage-reduction and of healing substances. And, perhaps most importantly, because it is fun to learn more about something so personally rewarding and easily accessible as a tool for helping others. Experience the balancing sensations that come through reflexology foot massage.

 “THE GODDESS WITHIN”

 

purplegoddess

 

A Woman’s Empowerment Workshop
Based on the book, “The Hero Within”

 

 

Sunday May 16


10 am - 3 pm

 

 

There is a circular system of empowering female stereotypes that actually assist in navigating and defining a woman’s spiritual journey; step by step.

 

Underneath our frantic absorption in the pursuit of money, power, status and earthly pleasures; there is still an underlying emptiness and a common hunger to dig deeper. Every woman yearns to find the meaning of her life so she can be happy, fulfilled and live her life and dreams to their fullest potential.

 

In the “Goddess Within” workshop, we will cover the 6 Feminine Archetypes that begin from childhood through adulthood. The Archetype manifesting in a woman’s daylight world will help define the boundaries of self, give information to assist in how she is viewing her world at the present moment and give the needed tools to handle life’s unexpected twists and turns.   These 6 archetypes are more circular in nature and the archetypal wheel begins as follows:

 

INNOCENT      which focuses on issues of trust,

ORPHAN         the longing for safety or to be taken care of

MARTYR         self sacrifice for everyone but self

WANDERER    exploring of the outer environment so one can move on

WARRIOR       the competition and triumph of life issues

MAGICIAN, CRONE or “GODDESS WITHIN”      expresses authenticity, wholeness and autonomy

 

The archetype manifesting in a woman’s life will vary because of life’s circumstances.  Swinging back and forth from one archetype to another without warning or without following any particular pattern is based on multiple factors.  Whatever archetype is alive and well, will depend on the ability to assume responsibility for making decisions based on one’s personal truth.  When the 6 archetypes are fully understood, recognizing the lesson you are working on in your life by the archetype you are manifesting at the time, will eventually become second nature.

 

A test will be given to show which Archetype you are manifesting at this stage in time.

 

Cost:  $55

Shamballa Reiki

 with Christopher Penczak, Shamballa Reiki Master Teacher

Saturday and Sunday, May 29-30, 10 AM – 6 PM

 

 

This will be Christopher's last Shamballa Reiki weekend intensive for the foreseeable future as he focuses on other projects, so if you've been waiting to take this workshop, now is an excellent opportunity. 

Shamballa is an expansion on the traditional system of Reiki, consciously and intuitively using 352 symbols connecting you to the Source. Shamballa encompasses the symbols from other healing systems, including Maha Karuna, Seichim and Terra-Mai . The diamond light energy of Shamballa focuses on personal initiation and spiritual growth. Increased healing energies are a natural part of this initiation. Shamballa helps you connect with the Ladies and Lords of Shamballa, the ascended masters, and specifically Saint Germain, to guide your healing work and aid in your ascension process. This Shamballa "update" designed specifically for Reiki practitioners will not focus on the traditional healing method of Reiki, but on your own spiritual development, including meditations on full DNA activation, mahatma activation, working with the masters and archangels, working with the rays of lights, higher self contact and light body activation. Shamballa will be explained in a down to earth manner, including both intuitive and historic information on Theosophy, Lightwork and Ascension and tips on how to integrate these spiritual practices into your daily life.
 
Day One - Shamballa Practitioner Levels I and II - Traditional Reiki II prerequisite. $150
Day Two - Morning Level III - Shamballa Master Healer - Traditional Reiki Master (IIIa) and Shamballa I & II prerequisite. $75
Afternoon Level IV - Shamballa Master Teacher - Traditional Reiki Master/Teacher (IIIb)  and Shamballa I-III prerequisite. $75

Saturday June 5               Our Pets Under Attack:  Parasitic Protection - - A Natural Solution
2:30-4:30 pm              Presented by: Carol Lizotte, Herbalist, Aromatherapist, Flower Essences Practitioner, Shamballa Reiki Master

The season of the pests is upon us (fleas, mosquitos, black flies etc). It is very important to our pets’ good health to protect them as much as possible from the bites of these seasonal pests, as these external parasites very often leave internal parasites behind.

Regular grooming is very important to remove fleas and ticks before they set up housekeeping on our pets. The use of topical repellents to deter these pests from landing on and biting our pets is crucial to preventing disease.

Join me for an informative workshop on the seasonal pests that effect our pets’ health, the diseases and parasites they carry and what we can do about them.  We will discuss the commercial & natural products available. How effective are they? How safe are they?

Cost: $35.00

Women Who Run with the Wolves

 

 

Saturday/Sunday

June 26-27

 

10 a.m. - 3 pm

 

 

 

What is the Wild Woman Archetype?

 

 

“Even though he is wearing a ski mask,

a knife between his teeth and a sack of money across his shoulders,

you still believe he is in the banking business”
                                                     

Quoted from the book “Women Who Run with the Wolves” 

 

At the age of 42, I began to feel unfulfilled. I spent many hours daydreaming; wishing I had made better choices in my life.  I was unhappy, felt unfulfilled, my zest for life was non-existent and one day seemed to blend into the next. I knew something was missing but I never dreamed the missing piece was” ME”. This was realized after much honesty and truth about why I made these seemingly wrong choices. So, the search of my soul began for the reasons WHY?

 

Many times a woman is incapable of discerning fact from fiction, friend from foe, or ally from adversary. How many times do we put another’s needs before our own?   Do we trust our own intuition? Do we listen to the warning signals that scream…..RUN?   We ask our family, we ask our friends and our mates, “How should I run my life?”  We do not even trust our own ability to make wise decisions. WHY?

 

This intensive 2-day workshop will discuss the reasons we are unable to trust our inner voice or Wild Woman. We come by this honestly as the subtle cues that undermine our ability to make informed decisions are ingrained from childhood. From fairy tales to media coverage, the underlying messages for women are not very empowering. 

 

It is never too late to find your Wild Woman. However, it takes work, strength to look at your life honestly and power to implement the necessary changes.

 

 

 Workshop Topics Covered:

 

·       What is a woman’s “Wild Woman”?

·       How can you tell if you have lost her?

·       Discussion of when the split may have occurred.

·       History of women and their rights

·       How fairy tales influenced young females

·       Discuss the similarities between women and wolves.

·       How society views the rights of wolves and women

·       Mind verses Feeling

·       What is a healthy intuition? 

·       What are your hidden talents?

·       What is needed to regain your Wild Woman?

Divine Openings  ~ Happiness, Freedom & Enlightenment

with Erica Rock

Thursday August 5

7:00-9:30 p.m.


Erica Rock was in silent communion with the Presence speaking to no other human being. She received a gift: the ability to give Divine Grace to others to awaken, heal, resolve psychological issues, and end suffering. The energy that comes through her frees the body, mind, emotions and spirit.

Wake up the Divine Intelligence within you. Learn how to access it, what to expect in the process, how to allow it to be easier & enjoy it to the max! Experience a flowering of consciousness without work. You will receive initiations to enlightenment. Once the Divine Presence is walking this planet as you, once you are in the flow of life that supplies all wants and needs, creating the life you want is fun, easy, joyful and exciting. Suffering, conflict and struggle cease. Synchronicities become commonplace as you rendezvous with who and what you want in perfect timing. You will become unsinkable as you experience the presence within as a close friend and confidant. You will awaken to your true self and once you awaken you become a force for awakening the rest of humanity.

Divine Openings is different, so you cannot compare it to anything else. For example, your crown, third eye, and other chakras will open and balance, but we won't discuss, think about, or work on your chakras. Issues will resolve that you didn't work on. You won't work on anything in this class.  Upon awakening, issues and limitations fall away, gradually for some, rapidly for others.

You do your 10%, Grace does 90% of it for you. You learn to let The Divine do the heavy lifting. Divine Openings activates / deepens spiritual enlightenment, reconnects & upgrades your DNA, lights up your light body, wakes up your full power, ignites your inner genius and resolves your "issues". We humorously refer to it as getting on the automatic upgrade program of spiritual awakening. Once it begins, it keeps unfolding like a beautiful lotus. 

 

Energy exchange is $75.00 and includes the required book “Things are going great in my absence, how to let go and let the Divine do the heavy lifting.” by Lola Jones  $30.00. The cost of the book is INCLUDED in the workshop.

A welcome home to yourself, to your heart. This reunion is eternal and expands and grows deeper exponentially with time.

This below testimonial is from a woman who has signed up for the silent retreat in May....this is QUITE INTERESTING!   If you want to learn more about the silent retreat....the sweetest homecoming to yourself you will EVER encounter, then please e-mail or call me!           

 

" I know things are happening, I'm way more than 16 days from the big amp up but things are happening. (What can one expect from the 16 day amp up just wondering?)

 

But today, u may share this and say it is from Sheila in NH. 

I sometimes get migraines, from stress, but I have not really been stressed, the Divine Openings have been moving things. Today as I was traveling to my part time job after working my full time job, the migraine started. It was way worse than normal, it felt like my 3rd eye and crown was going to explode, the pain was intense, then all the other symptoms of the migraine came, well needless to say I never made it to my other job, I took the migraine pills (which did not work as they always do), got home, put a towel on my head with ice, and layed on the couch.  I was experiencing the pain and discomfort for quite some time and then I said to my self, " FEEL THE FEELINGS", and all of a sudden the pain and all of the symptoms stopped, as if it never had just happened!!!! I believe this was some sort of fur ball, or maybe my chakras are opening!!!!  I just had to share this!!! Erica, Thank you for everything!!!! I'm so glad you have touched my life and it is never going to be the same by the end of May, I can't wait!!!!! (A NEW LIFE IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER)!!!! Love Sheila

 

 

Wanted to share this heartwarming story from a woman who attended my first 5 day silent retreat.  To make this retreat easier for everyone to attend I have made the next one into a 3 day retreat, read more below.  Share in this woman's victory and freedom, she is you!

 

"Dynamite has exploded in your heart.....you are now FREE."  These are the words I heard from God after I received my initiation with Erica's 5-day Grace workshop.  I had come with a heavy heart, my fears and life-pattern of negative thinking.  My desire was simple...allow Grace to change my life completely.  Anything and everything could go. It has been almost two months beyond the workshop.  My life is in upheaval with major changes.  Instead of "crawling into a psychic fetal position" and bemoaning "why me" as I would have done, I am steady, and even with myself.  I feel safe.  I KNOW that I am being protected, cared for by the Divine.  People are responding to me differently, most positively.  I can see Blessings and Gifts every where I turn with solutions manifesting. I even feel like I'm walking differently... with more confidence and presence in the world.  I am a singer and even that is "more"....richer and more expressive.  How could it possibility get any better than this?! I can't wait to find out.

Here is what people are saying !  I LOVE my life ! 

 

(this woman received a blessing for more money) 

"Ty found out his commission check is going to be bigger than expected
this month so that helped out quite a bit:)  Thank you for the
blessing!:)"  Katie Martin Stratham NH 

 

"I am writing this to thank you for offering the Divine Openings class.  Your 6-wk course deepened my relationship with the divine and has changed my life in so many ways!  One of which is our dream of opening an "inner spa"which is now coming true thanks to your guidance!   My Mom and I took the course together and our dream is now a reality-thank you Erica!  We will be opening Center Your Self in Tilton, NH in July and hope to see you there!   Receiving Divine Openings and Oneness Blessings each week was amazing!  I left there each week feeling present and deeply connected.  It was like getting an inner massage each week.  Being in the presence of such amazing woman was truly a gift.  I was able to watch all of us grow more and more connected thru our dancing, alter and many meaningful discussions.  I enjoyed how each class was different depending on the needs of the goup-which you knew each week, without us speaking a word.  I wouldn't change a thing Erica, as it was evident from the beginning that you were truly being guided.  Thank you again for allowing me to be a part of a life-changing event-the world is a brighter place! " D.P.

 

"I had almost completed the Divine Openings book after 7 months of carefully, slowly reading to absorb and put into practice the guidance suggested in the pages.  Then I took a 6 week course, receiving weekly blessings from Erica.  My whole world opened up!  Everything shifted and opportunities plopped in front of me.  I am now fulfilling my "bucket list" and opening a center with my daughter which will have classes and promote new ideas to the community.  Everything effortlessly (almost magically) appeared before me.  All we had to do was visualize and get out of the way.  "Center Your Self" will be opening this summer in Tilton, NH.   My heartfelt thanks to Erica. " Namaste, Mickey

 

"Just wanted to thank you again for the session last night.  I felt
like I was vibrating all over my body for hours after we hung up.
Today have shed quite a few tears, and it actually has felt pretty
good (much better than resisting it!).  It needed to happen!  So
thanks for the lovebomb!"
Love,
Mindy

Chiron:  Astrology for Healers
 

Instructor:  Janaki Clancy

 

Class will meet on 4 successive Thursdays
beginning

Thursday September 30

6-9 pm

 

We have all incarnated at a time when the ages are shifting for Gaia, the Mother whose minerals and elements become the Saturnian forms or bodies that our spirits inhabit.  In 1977, Chiron was sighted heralding the possibility that we may make yet another leap as a collective.  That which has been must be integrated and made whole to provide a foundation for that which we are becoming, as symbolized by the outer planets.  As a transplant to our solar system, Chiron is the sacred bridge between limited (Saturn) and more universal energies as symbolized by Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.  From our current perspective, the possibilities are endless!  Welcome healers, explorers on the frontiers of consciousness, energy channelers, and assorted lovers of life!

 

This class is designed for those who are engaged in healing work, whether in a practice or for assistance on your own personal healing journey.  What does your astrological chart have to say about your relationship to healing?  We will explore this topic in a variety of ways.  The Chiron cycle will be presented along with that of Saturn and Uranus.  You will experience where you are in all of these cycles, the way they relate to each other, and gain insight about the intention that was present when you chose to take birth, and learn some astrology to boot!  There will be homework, you may want to get a new journal or make sure you have space for writing on an electronic device (very Uranian!) and cut out some place for meditation during the course of this class.  Please provide your birth data (date, time and location of birth) when you register. 

 

Energy Exchange:  $150   
Optional Payment Plan: $42.50 deposit paid 5 days before first class, plus 3 payments of $42.50 each charged to your credit card on file, on the day before classes 2, 3 and 4.  Choose this option when you call to register.

 

Janaki Clancy is a professional Astrologer and a Reiki Master. After 14 years as a staff/faculty member at Unicorn Books in Arlington, MA,  she has relocated to the seacoast area, where she now maintains a private practice. She uses astrology to establish an understanding of the intention of the soul for this incarnation, to ferret out relationship boondoggles, to understand who we are and how we got to be this way and where we want to go, to help bridge the gap from the self to the Self. As a lifelong discipline for Janaki, Astrology provides a unique frame of reference supporting ever-greater self-acceptance and awareness, which can then lead to a willingness to change and grow. Janaki sees astrology clients at her office in Newmarket, NH (Call her at 603-659-0388 to schedule an appointment) and at Misty Meadows on the 4th Saturday of each month.

Vicki Anderson.jpgSOUL RETRIEVAL AND INTEGRATION WORKSHOP

 

With Vicki Anderson, Psy.D.

 

 

Vicki Anderson, Psy.D. is a Shamanic and Sound Practitioner as well as a minister of The Circle of the Sacred Earth.  She has studied with several shamanic practitioners over the years, has been trained in sound healing, and is a student of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies three year program in advanced Shamanism.  As a shamanic practitioner, Dr. Anderson focuses on the role of the heart, soul, and spirit to enhance one’s potential for greater wellbeing.  She combines the use of Shamanic practices and the vibration of Sound with her 25 years of mental health experience to assist clients in experiencing more joy in their life.  Dr. Anderson is also a licensed psychologist and has a separate private psychotherapy practice.

 

 

Workshop:

 

From a Shamanic perspective, whenever we suffer an emotional or physical trauma a part of our soul, or life force, flees the body in order to survive the experience.  Soul loss can result in dissociation, post-traumatic stress syndrome, depression, illness, immune deficiency problems, addictions, unending grief, or coma. Soul loss can prevent us from creating healthy relationships and the life we truly wish to live. 

 

It is important to understand that soul loss is a good thing that happens to us.  It is how we survive pain.  Although soul loss is a survival mechanism the problem from a Shamanic point of view is that the soul part that left usually does not come back on its own.  The soul might be lost, taken by another person, or doesn’t know the trauma has passed and it is safe to return.

 

There are many common symptoms of soul loss.  Some of the more common ones would be dissociation where a person does not feel fully in his or her body and alive and fully engaged in life.  Other symptoms include chronic depression, suicidal tendencies, post traumatic stress syndrome, immune deficiency problems, and grief that just does not heal. Addictions are also a sign of soul loss as we seek external sources to fill up the empty spaces inside of us whether through substances, food, relationships, work, or buying material objects.  Anytime someone says I have never been the same since a certain event (and they don’t mean this in a good way) soul loss has probably occurred.

Some of the benefits that have been experienced by people who have received a soul retrieval include a greater ability to make decisions in their life, a sense of being more present in their life, the ability to move past an issue that previously one could not, or perhaps an ability to begin dealing with grief around a particular issue.  It is possible that the soul retrieval will complete a healing process, but it is also possible that it will begin the work of new healing and new growing.  Each person is unique and will experience different results from their soul retrieval.
 

 

In this workshop participants will receive a soul retrieval and participate in several guided imageries, rituals and ceremonies to help integrate their returned soul parts.  The initial meeting will be to prepare for the soul retrieval.  Each person will sign up for a time to receive a soul retrieval, and the integration work will occur the following weekend.

Everything in life is about coming and going ~ and so it is true of our digestive system!  Many times we can avoid serious problems, even surgery, by making simple changes in the way we eat.  This does not necessarily mean that we have to give up the foods we love, only the way we eat them. In this workshop, we'll discuss food combining, transit times, disorders of the digestive system and herbs that can help and often eliminate things like colitis and Crohn’s Disease, gastro esophageal reflux disorder (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic heartburn/indigestion.

Friday October 22                                               The Three Rays of Witchcraft

6 pm                                                 with Christopher Penczak, Author, Lecturer, Eclectic Witch

 

Booksigning at 6;  Free Lecture at 7

 

Join us for an experiential workshop on the three primal powers that are the basis of creation and magick. Witches often see these powers as maiden, mother and crone. In Qabalistic magic, we have the three pillars of Mercy, Severity and Equilibrium. Druidic traditions look to three rays of inspiration, of Awen. Theosophists have the rays of Power, Love and Intelligence. Older form of witchcraft look to the Oak, Ash and Thorn, as well as the Straight, Bent and Crooked lines. How can modern witches work with these three powers for magick, evolution and transformation? Explore new views of the three powers as a road to enlightenment, as they manifest in three races ñ Angels, Fey and the Hidden Company; three healers - Stones, Plants and Animals; and three threads of wisdom, personal revelation, ancestral teachings and the ordeal.

Shamanic Reiki - Level III - Master Practitioner
 with Reiki Master Teacher Wendy Snow Fogg

Sat/Sun 
November 6-7

9 am – 4:30 pm

 

When Dr. Mikao Usui received the Reiki symbols and the power and wisdom to use them while meditating many years ago on Mt Kuryama, he accessed the same power that is available to all of us. Shamans from time immemorial have interfaced the spirit world with the human and Usui can be considered to be one of the most powerful shamans the world has known. The practice of Reiki opens the intuition and thins the illusionary veils between spirit and matter. Within this opening lies an invitation to work directly with spirit in the healing process the way shamans and indigenous healers have done for centuries. Hands-on Reiki becomes a vital portal for the dynamic ways of working with the Universal Life Force Energy.

In this experiential weekend, Wendy Snow Fogg combines the diverse teachings she has received with the discoveries that have come with fourteen years of Reiki practice. Through ceremony and practice, assisted by the four elements, plants, music, sacred stones, shamanic journeys and Reiki spirit guides, Wendy facilitates your opening to Shamanic Reiki.  You will receive the Master-Practitioner Tibetan Buddhist symbol and attunement; receive another archetypal symbol for use in healing work; learn to work with your spirit guides and the four elements in the healing/cleansing process; practice body-centered journeying techniques for yourself and your clients; learn energetic extraction techniques and etheric body-work approaches; energetic practices to support spiritual healing and the path of the healer. 

Open to all Reiki Level II practitioners and up - masters and master-teachers as well. 
If your prior training was with a teacher other than Wendy Fogg, an interview is required prior to registration.

(This level is pre-requisite to the Master Teacher class.)  Please bring a lunch and snacks. 

$425.  Students registering for Master Practitioner and Master Teacher levels receive a $50 discount on the Master Teacher class.
