The basis of understanding the art of the cards dates back hundreds of years and it reveals truth in connection to the Higher Self and those around you. This class will help you understand the everyday signs of recognition to enhance your Life. Each and every class is different. The Four-Part Course of study is every Friday from 7-9pm. Cost: $15

This class will help you channel your Universal Mind and teach you different perspectives of growth within your greater being.

Deeksha Blessing and Meditation
Thursday, January 9 & 23 @ 6:00 – 7:30pm with Jane Hale
Jane Hale traveled to India in 2006 to receive training and initiation from Sri Amma-Bhagavan, the founders of the Oneness Blessing, also known as “Deeksha”. Deeksha is a transmission of divine energy which begins a process of neuro-biological shifts within the brain. When linear information in the parietal lobes is reduced, the recipient can feel a sense of boundless awareness and connection. Each transmission helps recipients learn to embody the great silence and peace, linking each of us to a more universal experience. Jane has been facilitating Deeksha in various settings, including the Higher Self Bookstore, for more than 13 years. In addition, she offers classes and sessions in T’aiji Gong, Movement Therapy and other healing arts.
Cost: $15 Minimum Donation

Sacred Belly Dance for Beginners & Sacred Hula
Sunday, January 12 Sacred Belly Dancing 11:15am – 12:15pm with Amira Hamzar
As far back as the matriarchal Sumerian times, women danced, feminine deities were worshiped, and the Goddess was the creatrix and nurturer. Throughout history, what became known as Belly Dance was passed down and has expressed these qualities. These movements harmonized with the Moon phases and connected the dancers to the celestial rhythms. Women today can utilize these same dance movements to help balance their energies. All ages, sizes and shapes welcome. No dance experience necessary. Cost: Sacred Belly Dancing $13, Sacred Hula $7

BALANCE, balance, BALANCE
Can a RETREAT change the direction your life is heading?
If you feel mired in the past or in past emotions…
If your relationships, your job, your thoughts “don’t fit” any more…
If you need a BIG BOOST of inspiration…
If you really need to balance your time and personal energy…
If you’re seeking an illuminated path to transform how you are living…
then THIS is the retreat for you!
Why? Well, besides this being an opportunity to experience a feminine coming together filled with the perfect blend of restorative balance and empowering speakers, multiple energetic happenings make this an excellent time to change your destiny and to connect with your own deep, innate wisdom.
Our retreat happens immediately following the first equinox of the new decade! Equinox is celebrated and honored as a time of balancing light and darkness, birth and death; it reminds us of the equalizing energies in and around our own personal lives. Knowing that this equinox happens in the spring when daylight starts to increase, we will be celebrating that the earth is preparing to “tip over” to more daylight. Therefore, the spring equinox represents new light and life, new beginnings, seeds of change, and new pathways. Now is the time to focus and move forward, in fresh, positive ways. Are you ready?!?!? Jump in to YOUR personal Self Equinox experience!
Spring Equinox — Self Equinox
Topics our guest presenters will be speaking on include Learning as You Go; Moving Beyond Grief; Creating Personal Balance; Visioning to Manifest Your Hopes, Goals, and Ambitions; Discovering Healthier Nutritional Lifestyles; and more.
