Transforming Into Your Best Self
Tools of the Trade Workshops:
Bring your curiosity and willingness to venture beyond the norm. And if the workshop is also a "Girls' Night In," bring a woman dear to you: girlfriend, mother, sister, daughter, mentor, mentee. Share an introduction to one or more foundational concepts to Wholeness Energetics: muscle testing (Applied Kinesiology), ego vs. higher Self, goal writing, chakras, energy bodies. Learn how there may be more to us than there seems and how we may better tap these resources, especially for the purpose of getting more out of our own ways and transforming into our highest and best selves. Confidentiality offered. An intimate, safe gathering. Typically limited to 8 participants. Typically scheduled First Fridays of the month, my availability permitting. Typically public and announced, but private parties may also be arranged.

Sampling Wholeness Energetics
Group Healing Experiences:
Come learn if this energy medicine modality may be a fit for you. Or just come as an affordable way to bask in the glow of collective healing. Open to everyone. The event may involve a theme. We’ll use muscle testing (Applied Kinesiology) to select a member most representative of group needs for a Wholeness Energetics session demo, with the possibility that as one heals, we all heal. Event not suited for processing trauma. Confidentiality offered. An intimate, safe gathering. Typically limited to 8 participants. Typically public and announced, but private parties may also be arranged.

New Year’s Intention Mapping Workshop
Bring your favorite magazines from last year, your wants for this year, and collage your heart’s desire. For six years, I've been hosting this reflective process among kindred spirit women early January. With our family's courageous relocation to Burnsville in 2018, I wanted to share this tradition with my new community:starting with blank poster board, unsure really of what I want for myself for the new year, then after perusing magazines together, talking, and ripping out images and words that resonate, direction becomes clearer... and so do I. What may manifest--via both conscious wants and higher inspiration--for your new year’s intentions? We keep the Intention Map central in our homes to remind us daily of the year's mission. Sometimes what comes of it can be quite a surprise. Event includes an introduction to my offerings, helping us get more out of our ways so that we may actually actualize these newly mapped intentions. Also includes invitations to special NYIM reunions and events through the year to cultivate bonds with one other. Sponsored by Yancey County Library, who provide magazines and all supplies. Snack and drink provided, though participants are welcomed to bring a dish to share. Capped at 28 participants. RSVP to our local library by noon Friday 1/10/20 to reserve your spot: ycpl@amyregionallibrary.org, 828-682-2600.

The Artist's Way Series
Julia Cameron's
For over 25 years, Julia Cameron's renown book The Artist's Way has offered a tried and true path toward creative recovery: in essence how likewise to get more out of our own ways so that we may better serve our highest purpose. Cameron's 12-step program involves a 7-10 hour commitment per week: Sunday reading a chapter of Cameron’s book and speed-writing through creative exercises at about 1-2 hours, then daily "Morning Pages" at about 45 minutes, and a weekly "Artist Date” of 2 hours for solo self-care play time. Our Celo Cabin Fever University series would add “Sacred Circle Cluster Groups” of 2 hours weekly, Thursday afternoons, to share our exercises, deepen our relationships, and support each other. For the brave who are ready to step up, perhaps as a New Year's Intention, sign on to this semester-like series, forge precious connections with fellow travelers, and invite your own transformation. BYOBook: Cameron's The Artist's Way: 25th Anniversary Edition.

Future Series To Be Announced
"I had been troubled with what was to come and not feeling prepared and ready for the change. Doing this session I wanted to explore these mixed emotions and the fears that were troubling me. Change has always been difficult for me. Learning to trust the process of life and be patient is always something that comes up for me. This session made me realize that my body is always connected with my soul, and knows exactly what I need. Since our session I have learned to listen to my body and ask myself what I need , and what feels right at the moment. I am doing my best to remind myself of patience and trust."
