Introduction to Palmistry for
Beginners
with Patricia Mauro
Tuesday, June 3rd 7 PM
Cost: $25
Palmistry is an art as well as a
science. Come to this class and see if you have what it takes to read palms.
This class is for beginners only.
Intuitive Energy Massage is a
gentle yet effective method to support you on your healing path. This hands-on
session takes place with you lying fully clothed on a table within a crystal
grid work. Throughout the session, energy called in for your highest good is
flowing through your energy field and being intuitively guided into your body
according to your specific needs. During the session, psychic messages will be
relayed and additional spiritual guidance offered.
Intuitive Energy Massage incorporates the best of both physical and energetic
bodywork. Less force is required when your physical body relaxes and resistance
is lowered on mental and emotional levels. Now your energy system is fully
opened to the flow so that deeper and deeper levels of healing can be reached.
In effect, Alicia is providing the space and the tools for you to apply to your
healing, to help you remember your connection to the Universal Source, your
Divine Self, and your Perfection.

Judy Julin - Author
"Romancing the
Future"
Saturday, June 14th
1-3 PM
"Romancing the Future is a magnificent bounty of rich stories and exquisite
outcomes as seen through the eyes of Julin, a woman who has lived the adventure
and experienced true success."
-Dr Pat
Baccili, Host of the Dr. Pat Show – Talk Radio to Thrive By.
Rarely does life produce characters such as Judy Julin- a glorious risk taker in
all of life’s arenas. In Romancing the Future (Findhorn Press/June 2008/$15.95),
Julin candidly reveals how she transformed herself from a young, uncertain woman
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania into an ‘out of the box’ entrepreneur at the
forefront of a new paradigm business model based on spiritual principles. She is
both a genuine student of life and an incredible teacher sharing her valuable
wisdom to encourage others to dare their destiny into being.
Julin’s life story is the stuff of movies and she writes a fascinating
page-turner filled with dramatic twists and great characters while never
forgetting her ultimate goal – to motivate others to take up the challenge of
their dreams. Her story is genuinely touching and often hilarious. She describes
the ‘madness’ of her spontaneous spiritual awakening, her sojourn in a
psychiatric ward, marriage, bankruptcy, divorce and her arrival in Hollywood.
Along the way, she meets great spiritual teachers, fraudsters and inspired
partners; she has wonderful ups and incredible downs; but throughout continues
to hold on to an unwavering belief in both her dream and her destiny.
Filled with inspirational stories the book essentially stirs readers into
action. Julin describes how she embraced her life’s purpose – to create a
revolutionary enrichment program and imaginative play space for children.
Despite the difficulties she encounters, Julin emerges as a powerful creator,
manifesting, as if from nowhere, the financial wherewithal to embark on bringing
her dream to life.
Anyone faced with life’s challenges can identify with Julin; she is adorably
real. She effectively shares her life as a spiritual quest making her book a
welcome inspiration and indispensable guide for anyone seeking support on how to
bring their dreams and goals into reality. Romancing the Future is Julin’s love
letter to what is possible.
BIOGRAPHY
Judy Julin is the founder and CEO of CosmiKids and has been active in various
aspects of children’s wellness since 1982. Her innovative and imaginative
enrichment program has led to a variety of other ventures including Inspired

Transformational
Breath™ Workshop
with Pat & Dave Krajovic
Saturday, June 21st 2:30 -
5:00
Cost: $50
Without breath there is no life. It is as simple as that and yet many of us take
how we breathe for granted. Because it is an absolutely automatic biological
function, we fail to realize that it can also be a voluntary process which can
be used consciously to enhance the quality of our lives and the health of our
bodies. There are numerous breath techniques and schools of thought, but the
most comprehensive one, from a breathing standpoint, not only opens up and
corrects old ineffective ways of breathing, but also teaches individuals to use
their breathing to reduce stress, increase energy, heighten self-awareness, heal
emotional traumas, and connect with Spirit.
How does Transformational Breathing™ work? The life-altering motion in
Transformational Breathing™ works by creating an entrainment effect at the
cellular level in our electromagnetic field. The Universal Law of Entrainment
simply states that when two things come together which are vibrating at
different rates, the lower vibration will move (entrain) to a higher vibrational
energy. Previously stuck and low energy patterns are transformed to a higher
frequency and permanently resolved. That is why you feel lighter and clearer
after being bathed with the high vibrational energy that Transformational
Breathing™ manifests.
The Transformational Breath™ can assist you on many different levels.
Physically, it can give more energy, clear toxins out of the system, and
eliminate physical symptoms caused by conditions of the mental or emotional
body. Emotionally, Transformational Breath™ can resolve old repressed feelings
that are vibrating at lower frequencies in the electromagnetic field. Mentally,
Transformational Breathing™ clears old mental tapes, thought forms, and
confusion, creating deeper levels of peace, creativity and clarity. Spiritually,
it facilitates access to the higher subconscious, which is the soul or spiritual
dimension. Through conscious invocation, integration of the spiritual into the
physical is accomplished, thereby allowing a truer expression of one’s spiritual
nature.
Transformational Breathing™ effectively integrates and heals such major areas of
dysfunction as traumas from birth and early childhood, parental and authority
issues, and virtually all negativity in the subconscious mind.
To the degree that the breath is open and flowing, We are in the flow of life.

What if you could stop smoking without drugs, with
minimum withdrawal symptoms and without gaining weight? Achieve this and more
using the process of hypnosis in this group session environment with
Hypnotherapist John Weir. In this special program you will be hypnotized to not
only stop smoking but to not gain the weight that is often associated with
smoking cessation. The program will open with a short talk explaining the
process of hypnosis. Afterwards, the weight loss/healthy living portion of the
program will begin and hypnosis will be induced, and hypnotherapeutic
suggestions regarding weight management will be introduced. Key points that will
be addressed are the elimination of emotional ties, eating less and feeling
fuller, exercise motivation, and self-esteem boosting. This session will last
approximately 45 minutes. After a short break, the smoke cessation session
program will begin and the group will be hypnotized and delivered
hypnotherapeutic suggestions needed to become non-smokers. This program replaces
smoking behavior with drinking water, minimizes withdrawal, eliminates the
desire for cigarettes, and can create permanent results. If you are ready to
quit smoking this program will help you break the nicotine habit.
John Weir has a Bachelors Degree in Psychology and is a Board Certified
Hypnotist. Only 26 years old, John is considered a rising star in the profession
and recently received the Distinguished Practitioner Award (he was nominated by
hypnosis master Tom Nicoli). He has been a guest speaker at Allegheny General
Hospital and works regularly with their Integrative Health department in pain
control, stress reduction, and smoking cessation. He has worked with the
Westmoreland, Latrobe, and Frick Hospitals to help their employees quit smoking
and lose weight.

Saturday, June 28th 5:30 PM
Cost: FREE
The Drum Circle will be in
Wolcott Park at the corner of Broad & Beaver Streets in Sewickley. It's FREE.
Deke will have drums available.
A drum circle consists of a group
of people playing drums & other percussion instruments. The group usually stands
or sits together - you guessed it - in a circle! In a drum circle the universal
language of rhythm removes barriers, builds trust and creates a renewed sense of
spirit and community.
Deke Kincade facilitates programs which are designed to allow fully
participating groups to create and share a dynamic musical and rhythmical
experience.
A drum circle is a rhythmic and musical conversation.
A drum circle is more than a composition, and not a competition.
