Come learn Core Healing Therapy Tools: New Year's Resolutions

Wednesday, November 9, 2016 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

21821 Monte Court,

Cupertino, CA

This meeting we will learn a very cleaver tool to help you reinforce your New Year’s resolution. I will help you create your Personal Affirmation.

You'll learn how to acknowledge and work with the Conscious mind (Thinking mind -> the Feeling mind (our emotional... subconscious mind)-> and the body (actual way it makes our body feel; the Sensation) the feelings tend to cleanse right out.

Along with unblocking the anxious feeling, you get the clarity and answers that may have been eluding you.

This can be used to help you through the day to day challenges as well as cleansing memories from your past.

In some cases, tapping helps you over the hurdle but may not be necessary for every feeling you experience.

We usually have a live demonstration so if you would like a session or if you would like to watch one before you experience one yourself, these are always valuable.

If you're interested in learning what you can do to dramatically reduce anxious feelings, stress, moving on after a breakup with your significant other or your job or just stuck in life and want to add a few new lifetime tool to your toolbox, you won't want to miss this.

Foot massage exchange and cuddling in Cupertino

Saturday, November 5, 2016 at 8:00 PM to 11 PM

Intrahealth

21020 Homestead Rd # B

Cupertino, CA

The latest entry in the self-help revolution, the cuddle party is a way "for adults to get together and explore affectionate touch and communication without it becoming sexualized, " Entrance $20 for men and $10 for ladies.

In this meeting we’ll do more exercises (exploring how to move energy to upper chakras, to leave longer…). We’ll switch more during our hug train exercise to observe energy shifts, and most importantly we’ll aim to have better gender balance, by moving people and couples in from the waiting list. Also, people love foot massage exchange, and it will be on the plate again.

Most people want to be held, and be the big or little spoon, some people just want to hold hands, some people just want an arm around them, some people have strong emotions come up, and some people just want silence and they want to snooze. Everything is up to you and you have power to say YES or NO to anything, and 'maybe' we classify as NO!

Zero tolerance for harassment!!!

Cost: $20/men; $10/women

Root Chakra Circle: Chakra Inspiration Series (for Consciously Creative Women)

Friday, November 4, 2016 at 10:30 AM - 2:30 PM

Palo Alto, California

Inspired by the recent circles of creative women Hemla Makan-Dullabh and Lottie Ryan have hosted here in Silicon Valley, we have listened to your requests and created the first in our Chakra Inspiration Series for Consciously Creative Women. A sacred day spent in a circle of women who are open to exploring more deeply their creative Being.

Drawing on the needs of the Root Chakra (Sanskrit name: Muladhara) for inspiration, we have created a safe space for you to connect with your divine feminine. A space in which you will relax, and dive into deep personal exploration around the important foundations for your creativity.

We invite you to fully connect with, harness and value your creative knowledge, skills, talent, ideas and desires. Together we will explore the importance of self-care, love and forgiveness, so you can fully tap in and further develop your creative expression/s.

We will create a sacred space for you, filled with music, fragrance, art, meditation, and connected conversation to take you on a journey of self-discovery.

We will support you to put down strong roots through a variety of fun, enlightening exercises and deeply connected experiences within yourself and with the women in the circle.

At the end of our time together you will:

∞ Have a deeper understanding of how to love yourself fully and honorably with integrity and without guilt.

∞ Know what you need to add, put into place, or change, to be fully supportive of yourself in order to create.

∞ Be Inspired and motivated to move forward in your creative endeavors.

∞ Own a deep sense of connection with yourself, mother nature, the Divine Feminine and the beautiful friendships you create within our circle.

∞ Feel relaxed, at peace with and excited about your creative desires, ideas and callings.

∞ Know that you’re ready to build on what you already have or are doing, and further creating from a space of knowing.

∞ Have connections and friendships with women who “get it’ and are open to sharing their love, knowledge and support with you.

∞ Receive worksheets and information to support you to expand on what you learn during our time together.

Cost:  $85 (snacks, lunch and materials included).
