Healing occurs through the increased coherence within the physiology.

Individuals have experienced rapid and significant improvement in a wide variety of physical and emotional discomforts.

How do prophecy and predictions differ? What are the latest predictions for world events, the economy, the weather, politics and other concerns? How have the prophets fared? Have the Cayces and other earth change predictions succeeded or failed? Is Nostradamus still viable in todays world? Does the Mayan calendar portend a fearful future or a new era of raised consciousness, of peace and brotherhood in 2012 and beyond?

As you can imagine, the various sources (past and present) offer a vast array of enlightenment and guidance. Larry has followed these predictions for a long time, especially as related to Edgar Cayce. He will revisit, update and answer these and many other questions during this fascinating program.

It is important that we realize that each of us plays our own part in shaping that future world, too. Your role will also be addressed in the program. Don't miss this deep, rich, informative, and fun afternoon!

Join us for another Thirdish Friday first - a unique, spiritually-based personal growth experience using music and imagery. The team of Dr. Dorothy May and Sharon West offer us a special trip into a higher state of consciousness.

The first hour will consist of background, discussion and demonstration. The presenters will define guided imagery, explore the ways in which this process differs from meditation, talk about how their CD came to be, and review and demonstrate some of the ways the CD can be used. During the second hour, Dorothy and Sharon will then use it to facilitate a guided journey in which participants will experience for themselves the relaxation and gentle healing of the CD, words and music.

This event is ideal for anyone from novices to experienced meditators... anyone needing relaxation, healing or meditation in general. Attendees will learn to use music, imagery and affirmations to improve their own lives, achieve personal goals and raise their consciousness. People will leave with a non-physical gift of light they've received from their own imagery.

Dr. Dorothy May is a Clinical Psychologist and a published author. The imagery used in this work has been developed over more than 30 years working with hundreds of people. Sharon West is the creator of four highly acclaimed instrumental CDs, containing many works which have broken into the Top 20 on New Age Radio.

Advance registration recommended.
Admission - $20

Modern economics is based upon two major assumptions: the scarcity of physical nature and the avariciousness of human nature. The notion of physical scarcity is a lie!

Economic health - a free flowing of supply, adequate to the individuals immediate needs and responsibilities, . . . Neither poverty nor wealth constitute economic health.
Edgar Cayce Economic Healing Group

There are many paths to insight. Likewise, the work of Edgar Cayce still offers useful insights for many paths even though he would be 132 this year. One of them is what he called economic health. In this workshop, we will use discussion, reverie and the resources of Mark Twain, Jacob Needleman, Steven Covey, Louise Hay, Eric Butterworth, Cayce and others 1) to illustrate how rich and accessible options and answers are, and 2) to find energy, language and strategies that resonate with each attendee on the subject of economic well-being. How we proceed will be a function of the interests and needs of those who attend.
