Tarot Readings by Kathe
Kathe is a professional psychic with 18 years experience. She reads the Tarot, primarily the Motherpeace Deck, practices psychometry, channels, and is a Medical Intuitive. She is also a certified Acupressurist trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley, California. Kathe will begin the session using psychometry by holding an object such as a piece of your jewelry or your keys - metal objects are best - at the onset of the reading to tune into your energy. Information about your physical health and the physical health of those close to you is most likely to come through at this time. Kathe will then use the Motherpeace Tarot Deck to complete your reading. NOTE: It is not unusual for spontaneous channelings to occur during a reading with Kathe. Kathe is currently under consideration for inclusion in the Veritas Research Program sponsored by the Human Energy Systems Laboratory at the University of Arizona. This is the organization that has extensively tested and evaluated such well know psychic mediums as John Edward, George Anderson, Allison DuBois, and many others. If a channeling should occur during a reading with Kathe you may be asked to participate in this study as a sitter. Participation is completely voluntary and will not in any way affect the content or quality of your reading. Readings are $15 for 15 minutes. Longer sessions are available upon request. Advance reservations are suggested.

Meet the Chancellor of the Correllian Trad
ome learn about one of the fastest growing Wiccan traditions given by Rev. Don Lewis, Chancellor of the Correllian Tradition and Rev. Ruth Ann Amartefio, Arch Priestess. The Correllian Tradition is a synchretic and highly philisophical traditon of Wicca which stresses the inherent unity of all pagan traditions and sychronicity of all spiritual paths.
Wicca is about your place in the universe and your evolution as a spiritual being. Wicca is about moving forward on your personal spiritual journey-- about learning, growing, and becoming the most that you can be. It is a life affirming path of growth and expansion. Wicca is based upon reverence of nature and Her cycles, respect for the Earth and Her creatures. Wicca reveres the natural forces of the universe and sees them reflected in the world around us, and every person and thing.

Inner Harmonizing With Damanhurians
Time: 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM
Wed, February 22nd, is OPEN to anyone that would like to attend. Inner Harmonizing is one of the core techniques for Damanhurian meditation dynamics and one of the secrets of Damanhur's continuously evolving spiritual, artistic, and social eco-society. Recognized by the UN as a model global eco-village, much of Damanhur's success is based upon an ongoing manifestation of the following aims: (1) The freedom and reawakening of the Human Being as a divine, spiritual, and material principle; (2) The creation of a self-sustaining model of life based on ethical principles, good communal living, and love; and (3) Harmonic integration and co-operation with all the Forces linked to the evolution of Humankind. Inner Harmonizing is useful for people of all ages for defusing everyday stress as the internal harmonization re-balances energy and loosens tension. It is very useful as a preparatory technique for unifying group energies and is particularly recommended for healers, therapists, and trainers.
Cost: Normally $225 *Special offer $160-$145 (pre-reg*). Each eve/$55 ($50 pre-register by 2/10)
