Linda Donalds, BCH-NGH Certified Hypnotist
Exploring Past Lives
Wednesday, February 13th, 2012
7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Many people believe that after we die, we are reborn again into a new life, and that the life we are living now is interconnected to those we have previously lived. Are you curious about your past lives? Who were you, where and how did you live? Learning something about those lives you have already lived, is about getting to know yourself better – your strengths, weaknesses, skills, talents and abilities, connections to other human beings, the origin of current behaviors or feelings, and even to find purpose and direction in your life. By gaining insight and wisdom from your past life experiences, you can achieve a greater understanding of how to improve situations and move forward in this current life. In this workshop, you'll be guided into a relaxed state using hypnosis so you can connect with your subconscious mind and journey back in time to explore your past lives. Afterward there will be time for sharing the results of your journey with others in the group. Please bring a notebook and pen with you.
Cost: $25.00 each class

Animal Wisdom: Working With our Animal Totems & Allies Intuitive
Development Series
Saturdays: February 18th & 25th, March 10th
1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
If you talk to the animals they will talk with you & you will know each other. If you do not talk to them you will not know them, & what you do not know you will fear. What one fears one destroys. ~Chief Dan George
     This course will be a magical quest into the world of animal archetypes and the Self. Participants will discover the mystery teachings of the animal kingdom and how they relate to our personal & collective growth. We will explore the rich landscape of animal teachings from many cultures and the various animal realms, including mythical creatures of lore! Animals represent the heartbeat of Mother Earth and the footsteps of humanity. Each animal reflects certain potentials, abilities, & characteristics that facilitate our soul's evolution.
     Students will learn to open to their innate intuition, understand Nature's language, work with Mother Earth's rhythms, and create conscious relationships with their Power animals/animal totems. Our power animals serve as mirrors to us & act as powerful allies toward Self transformation. Grounding techniques, power animal meditations, shamanic journeying, dream work, and animal communication techniques will also be explored as part of the intuitive unfoldment process. Our animal guides are here to help us to return to our "true natures" and to heal the disassociation between humanity, Mother Earth, and our own Divinity. We will work with an animal oracle deck (The Animal Medicine Cards) to facilitate the journey of self-discovery. This divination tool is an excellent system for opening to our intuition. The Animal Medicine Cards are a mandatory tool for the class. The deck & guidebook is available for purchase at the bookstore at a discount. All other course materials will be provided.
     This course is empowering and is open to anyone seeking to know themselves more fully, enhance their intuition, and improve their connection to all of Life. Join us and share in the wisdom of animal voices. Their wisdom is powerful, their voices sweet, and their love is unconditional! This class will be enlightening, fun, and interactive. Wear comfortable clothing. Class requirements: eye mask and blanket for the journey work (2nd & 3rd class).
Pre-registration required so that class materials may be ordered in advance.
Cost: $130.00 or $120.00 for early registration (register by Feb 9th)
