"The Cats Reincarnation and Unconditional Trust in Love”
Open your heart into unconditional awakening, joy, peace, love and bliss by learning from the sacred messages of domestic and wild animals. One summer Dr. Laurie Moore prayed to live in Heaven on Earth everyday. Her yearning to return to unconditional awakening became primary in her heart. She set up an altar in her back yard and invited animals to be her teachers. She was befriended by humming birds, owls, deer, hawks, dogs, lizards who made close contact with her. From far way dolphins and whales called and guided her into new realms. Neighborhood dogs showed up at her seminars. Each animal took her on a Shamanic Journey where she began to remember more and more deeply who we humans truly are: wholeness, source energy and LOVE. Oneness was no longer a concept as The Mother Earth enveloped Dr. Laurie Moore and she viewed her persnality, mind and body as a tiny part of the whole LOVE that she was. “The Cat's Reincarnation and Unconditional Trust in Love” was written as a journal during these special months of initiation into Heaven on Earth.

"“Journey into Now: Clear Guidance on the Path of Spiritual Awakening”
with Leonard Jacobson
With perfect precision, Leonard guides participants along a path of awakening which leads to liberation from the pain and limitations of the past into the joyful and unlimited world of Now. Leonard reveals, in the simplest way, how to still the mind and become fully present and awake in the truth of life. Perhaps the most important aspect of his teaching is his unique insight into the nature of the mind and ego. He describes in detail how the ego¹s resistance to Presence is the primary obstacle to awakening and how we can overcome that resistance in a simple and effective way.

"The Secret Power of Yoga"
with Nischala Joy Devi
A Woman’s Guide to the Heart and Spirit of the Yoga Sutras As a woman who has taught Yoga for more than 30 years, Nischala Joy Devi found herself becoming increasingly frustrated as she realized that virtually all aspects of Yoga practice have been interpreted almost entirely by and for men. Over the years, it was the female students who urged her to translate the teachings of the Yoga system in a way that’s more accessible to women and appreciative of the unique perspective and experience women bring to the Yoga practice.

with Paradiso
Dijerido Sound Healing
Sound can affect us on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Each area of the body has its own natural resonating frequency. When a person is ill these natural frequencies are altered and function less efficiently. Sound therapy allows for those frequencies to reset themselves and return to their natural state. The didjeridoo has special power to affect the energy-flow. Using several didjeridoos to produce various tones, specific areas of the body can be focused on and reset. Paradiso will demonstrate how specific areas of the body can be reset, and then he will lead us in a 45-minute healing session.
