Stan Hall
PSYCH-K
Subconscious beliefs that block our potential can be reprogrammed by learning to communicate with the subconscious mind in its own language. When the conscious and subconscious are aligned, wonderful new possibilities can open up for us. PSYCH-K is a simple, yet powerful method of transforming self-limiting beliefs into beliefs that support what is consciously intended. PSYCH-K is set apart from many other modalities, in that there is typically no need to uncover original sources of the limiting, or self-sabotaging, beliefs.

"Fondle the Fear"

Tim Ward
"Savage Breast"
What would it be like for a modern man to encounter ancient Goddesses? To find out, author Tim Ward traveled to the cradles of Western Civilization: to Greece, Crete, Turkey, Israel, France, Cyprus, Malta and the Balkans. Ward walked through the ruins of the Goddesses' temples and gazed at her statues and icons. In this public talk, Ward shares color images of these Goddesses. He discusses what his encounters with the feminine divine revealed to him about modern men's unconscious needs, fears and desires towards women. Questions for discussion: Did we all lose an essential part of ourselves when we turned our back on the Goddess? How would opening to the feminine face of God help men resolve their issues with women? What would it take for men to really let go of patriarchy and genuinely accept women as equals?
