Open to the possibility of creating the most fulfilling and on purpose life you can imagine. This innovative process combines conversation, meditation and journaling to gain a new perspective and momentum for change. Sarah also focuses on mindful breathing practices that are calming and energizing and can even help with stress-related health problems ranging from panic attacks to digestive disorders. Our breath is the connection between mind and body, the bridge between consciousness and unconsciousness, the movement of spirit in matter. Learn practical and life changing tools as we set ourselves up to be powerful and effective in our lives. Have fun visualizing the changes that you want to create in the world, beginning with you! It will be fun too, Sarah focuses on IN-JOYing oneself... so there is always laughter in these classes.

**please bring pen and paper**

About the Presenter: Since 2001, Sarah Starr, host of internationally syndicated “Happy Yoga with Sarah Starr” has conducted classes such as “Power of Now” and “Breathing Peace” with thousands of people in local and national workshops and conferences, recently sharing the stage with Marianne Williamson at her Sister Giant Event in L.A. Her work has been featured in international publications, radio and a variety of podcast interviews, including "Inspire Me Today" and soon to be included in Yoga Journal's September 2010 Anniversary edition. Sarah has been facilitating the work of Eckhart Tolle and the Power of Now since 2001 and is currently included in Marci Shimoff's upcoming book as the expert of "Yoga and The Chakras" to be released in 2010. Sarah encourages her students to relax, breathe and smile, as they become the watchers of their thoughts, worries and distracting mind dialogue. "If your not having fun, you're not doing Yoga." Sarah's classes alternate with movement to open the body through yoga, meditation practice, breathing techniques to create optimal health and group exercises that focus on thankfulness. These practices activate life energy, clear energy blockages, and increase physical well-being and aliveness.

NATIVE AMERICAN GROUP HEALING WORKSHOP [ Tell a Friend ]

With Healer Dennis King Bear Clan, Oneida Nation of Wisconsin

$30 per person

Come and experience a powerful group healing session through Dennis "Rocky" King, carrier of the Bear Medicine. This powerful Bear Medicine is seldom seen off the reservation. Feel and hear the Bear breathing and growling as true healing power surrounds you. Using spiritual traditional medicine, the Creator sends out spirits to help Dennis help others.

Dennis King comes from a lineage of healers. His Great Grandfather and Great Uncle were healers and Dennis continues their legacy. They are well remembered as upstanding citizens amongst the Oneida Nation.

As the world turns to a holistic consciousness, in its awakening, people will call upon Native Healers all the time. The scientific as well as the religious society is beginning to admit the advantages within spiritual healing. The future, however it will turn out, will need to rely on a deeper sense of connection. The answer is in the Spirit.

Dennis "Rocky" King describes his works as follows: "My Indian name is Laluta Kehtas (He Scratches the Trees). When calling in the spirits for a ceremony, we acknowledge and respect them. The spirits like being asked for help-that is why we have spirits around us. When the Bear Spirit works through me, it has me touch people to heal them. The Bear Medicine is a healing bear through many tribes. It helps with anything that has to do with the mind, such as anger, stress, depression and so forth, but also heals the physical body. You will actually feel a burden being lifted off you. The Bear Spirit will also protect you from negative energies, when you ask it to."

"In the group healing, the Bear Spirit usually picks a few people out of the group who really need healing. In my Haudenosaunee Spiritual Tradition, I have everyone in the group put our hearts and minds together as one, focus on that one individual and send him/her lots of love and positive energy. No one is left out in the group healing. The Bear Spirit will have me touch everyone on the shoulders and head and have me raise my hands up to them. People will feel the energy and will feel lighter."

He concludes, "This is all the Creator's, and I cannot do this without him! The Creator is the one who knows what you need in your life."

Dennis King will hold individual healings at Mimosa on Tuesday, June 22, between noon and 6:00. Call to schedule a 45-minute time slot.

To register for this event, please call Mimosa at 608/256-5432.

PAST LIFE REGRESSION [ Tell a Friend ]

with Mari Powers

Cost is $27.00 with preregistration, or $33.00 on the day of the workshop.

About the workshop: In this session you will be led on a guided meditation, or journey, past your birth in this lifetime to another one. The life you may remember may not be your most recent life, as most often the one that is most relevant to this lifetime now comes through. Through gentle guidance you will be prompted to remember as much as you can, including how that life’s lessons and gifts can positively explain and enhance your current incarnation.

Mari Powers has been leading and teaching journey and trance workings for over 20 years. She will slowly lead you back in time on a guided journey to before you were born into this incarnation. You are not required to believe in reincarnation, just be able to honestly suspend any skepticism you may have about it so you can be open to the experience. This journey will be led in sacred and protected space with strong suggestions built in so that any trauma from a past life does not affect you emotionally. The purpose is to bring forward the gifts and lessons from a previous life that are most important for you now in this life.

This workshop will last about 2 ½ hours. This gives us plenty of time to decompress and discuss our journeys. Please bring a notebook for writing down impressions and experiences while they are still fresh in your mind. There will be ample time to journal, share and begin integration after the journey.

About Mari: Master tarot and oracle card reader Mari Powers helps you find guidance from the invisible universe. She has been offering classes since 1980 and has been performing readings for over 30 years. Mari has led dozens of successful past life regressions, one on one and in a group setting, as well as other types of trance journey work.

WRITE FROM MY HEART: EVERY-FATHER BOND [ Tell a Friend ]

with Oroki Rice of Hands from My Heart $20 in advance $25 payable on date of workshop. You must pre-register to attend; limited space available.

Old, new, and wannabe writers welcome.

Children who bond with their fathers during their early years are much more likely to grow up to be happy, confident, well-adjusted individuals. There are many statistics to back up the need for a strong father-child relationship. This writing session will offer opportunities for those who want to spend time exploring the connection between their fathers and father-figures (or lack thereof) with the lives they live today.

To understand ourselves fully, we need to understand as much as possible about our feelings towards our loved ones. Every Father-Bond is the second of a four-dimensional writing series called SOUL MATES. The third, My Children will take place May 29th, the 4th- My Loves- Myself in June (date to be announced).

Old, new, and wannabe writers welcome. Registration: $20 in advance $25 payable on date of workshop You must pre-register to attend, limited space available.

My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. -Clarence Budington Kelland

LAW OF ATTRACTION WORKSHOP [ Tell a Friend ]

With Ryan Ashton

Suggested donation: $5-10

“Every thought vibrates, every thought radiates a signal, and every thought attracts a matching signal back. We call that process the Law of Attraction.”

-Abraham-Hicks, Ask and It Is Given

Your thoughts matter. More precisely, your thoughts interact with matter. You live in a vibrational reality, and this familiar, apparently material world is only a manifestation of that greater vibrational reality. What you think of as an imposing, objective physical world is, at its base, nothing other than vibrating non-physical energies occupying a particular frequency range. The reason that any aspect of this physical world is a part of your experience has everything to do with the fact that you are, in any moment, a perfect vibrational match to the vibration of the circumstances and events surrounding you. Therefore, to change your physical reality, you must change your vibration; and, to change your vibration, you must change your habits of thought.

If you are like most people, there is probably an aspect of your life that has not quite worked out the way you would have liked, despite considerable effort on your part to make it happen. Unless you are factoring the magnetic power of your thoughts into the equation, your efforts will yield mixed or inconsistent results. According to the Law of Attraction, no amount of physical effort can compensate for vibrational mis-alignment. That is to say, no matter how hard you work, the results you desire will not come to pass while your habits of thought are vibrating in opposition to your desire. Therefore, to manifest more of your desires in life, it is more effective to put your efforts into deliberately thinking than it is to invest your efforts in physical action. Understanding the relationship between thought and creation is an essential first step in putting the Law of Attraction to use in your life.

This workshop will provide an introduction to the Law of Attraction (as primarily articulated by Abraham-Hicks in the book Ask and It Is Given) and focus on how thoughts interact with a vibrational reality. Students of all experience levels with the work of Abraham-Hicks and the Law of Attraction are welcome. Feel free to bring any questions you might have as Ryan prefers a discussion format as opposed to a lecture format with this material.

Ryan Ashton has been studying the work of Abraham-Hicks and related authors for over ten years and offers life coaching services based on the Law of Attraction in the Madison community. He studied the nature of consciousness while earning his bachelor’s degrees in philosophy and psychology through the University of Wisconsin system.

NATIVE AMERICAN GROUP HEALING WORKSHOP [ Tell a Friend ]

With Dennis "Rocky" King

cost: $30

Come and experience a powerful group healing session through Dennis "Rocky" King, carrier of the Bear Medicine. This powerful Bear Medicine is seldom seen off the reservation. Feel and hear the Bear breathing and growling as true healing power surrounds you. Using spiritual traditional medicine, the Creator sends out spirits to help Dennis help others.

Dennis King comes from a lineage of healers. His Great Grandfather and Great Uncle were healers and Dennis continues their legacy. They are well remembered as upstanding citizens amongst the Oneida Nation.

As the world turns to a holistic consciousness, in its awakening, people will call upon Native Healers all the time. The scientific as well as the religious society is beginning to admit the advantages within spiritual healing. The future, however it will turn out, will need to rely on a deeper sense of connection. The answer is in the Spirit.

Dennis "Rocky" King describes his works as follows: "My Indian name is Laluta Kehtas (He Scratches the Trees). When calling in the spirits for a ceremony, we acknowledge and respect them. The spirits like being asked for help-that is why we have spirits around us. When the Bear Spirit works through me, it has me touch people to heal them. The Bear Medicine is a healing bear through many tribes. It helps with anything that has to do with the mind, such as anger, stress, depression and so forth, but also heals the physical body. You will actually feel a burden being lifted off you. The Bear Spirit will also protect you from negative energies, when you ask it to."

"In the group healing, the Bear Spirit usually picks a few people out of the group who really need healing. In my Haudenosaunee Spiritual Tradition, I have everyone in the group put our hearts and minds together as one, focus on that one individual and send him/her lots of love and positive energy. No one is left out in the group healing. The Bear Spirit will have me touch everyone on the shoulders and head and have me raise my hands up to them. People will feel the energy and will feel lighter."

He concludes, "This is all the Creator's, and I cannot do this without him! The Creator is the one who knows what you need in your life."

Dennis King also offers individual healings. Formore information please call (920) 712-1358.

ASTROLOGY OF LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS [ Tell a Friend ]

The Astrology of Love and Relationships - Magnetizing Your Soul Mates to You Through Enhanced Self-awareness Astrology Workshop

Shelley Jordan

$25

Astrology is an ancient psycho-symbolic system that uses imagery and myth to illuminate our inner world. Astrology's most valuable asset lies in its ability to help us understand ourselves and what it feels like to be another person. The birth chart is the contemplative entry point into the psychological motivations and contours of the personality - our own and our loved ones. Through attracting and maintaining loving relationships our souls can evolve. Each birth chart contains a profile for relationships which can be a focal point for meditation, insight and self improvement.

Join Shelley Jordan on this New Moon day for a pre-Valentines Day workshop on the astrology of relationships. We will use the charts of class participants to discover your personal relationship patterns, and how you can overcome obstacles to intimacy and cultivate the magnetic qualities that will attract your soul mates to you. If you don't want your chart discussed in class, no problem. Charts will be presented on a volunteer basis only. You will learn how to analyze your chart's relationship patterns, and how to meditate on the symbols of loving union in your birth chart. All levels of experience with astrology welcome.

If you have your chart, bring it along. If you need a copy of your chart, email your birth information - date, location and time off your birth certificate - to Shelley Jordan and she will send you one for free. If you do not have access to your documented birth time, don't worry. You can still have a solar chart calculated that will have a lot of information. Email address: astrologer@charter.net Shelley Jordan is an internationally known astrological consultant, writer and educator with over three decades of experience.

DIVINE WARRIOR TRAINING [ Tell a Friend ]

Tom Capshew

Divine Warrior Training invites us to remember that each of us is a spiritual entity who has manifested in the material plane for a brief moment in time. We each have access to unlimited and unquenchable love, knowledge and power from the divine.

We come into this world as beautiful spheres of light and, over time, many of us adopt belief systems which lock our access to the divine, leaving much of our potential untapped. Divine Warriors are humans who recognize their divine inheritance and work to manifest the divine in our world.

Divine Warrior Training Circles provide the opportunity to live into our divine inheritance in shared sacred space. The facilitator invokes sacred space by infusing the space with Source energy and holding the intention for healing. Participants gather in circle around an altar and are introduced to the process and a brief description of the topic for the session. After a heart-centering meditation, each participant spends our time together in quiet contemplation and self-reflection, discovering the wisdom residing within. The gathering ends with a closing circle where participants are invited but not required to share insights. Divine Warrior Training Circles are designed to assist individuals to expand or discard limiting beliefs and to celebrate our common origin in the divine. See www.innerspark.org for more information. See www.innersparkpress.org for information about the book, Divine Warrior Training: Manifesting the Divine in Our World.

About the Facilitator:

Tom Capshew is singing his heart’s song. He works with individuals, groups, organizations and communities to unleash their potential. In his work, he brings to bear extensive training and experience in law, social work and spirituality. Tom lovingly and masterfully expands the possibilities of the lives he touches through speaking, writing, training and healing.

She is formally trained in the Usui Tradition of Reiki at the Master/Teacher level and teaches levels I, II and III.

AURA SEER’S INTRO TO REIKI & REIKI SHARING [ Tell a Friend ]

With Jeremy Anacker

Aura Seer's Introduction to Reiki: 6:00-7:00

Reiki Sharing & Outreach: 7:00 - 9:00

$5-10 donation (for either or both parts of the evening)

ABOUT THE INTRO:

Translated from Japanese, Reiki basically means 'Universal Life Force Energy. It is infinitely intelligent, everywhere and in everything. This field of healing energy is at our disposal. When we learn to access it, we are led on a journey of true awe and wonder.

For Jeremy this journey has included the ability to see patterns in the energy. Full Aura Seers are rare, and one who can harness this ability into a useful tool for transformation is very special. When Jeremy does Reiki work on a person, he incorporates his gift of Auric Seeing to help in pinpointing the areas of the energy field that needs shifted, and he is better able to facilitate this process.

Limited patterns in a person’s energy field create shapes, imbalances and interruptions which are visible to a gifted seer. When a treatment is given from an attuned individual, a boost occurs in both the 'healer' and the 'healee." This energy can be a valuable asset in attaining greater wellness, emotional balance, personal empowerment, peace and more. Profound transformation often occurs if a participant surrenders limited ideas about themselves. Insight into energy patterns can help one take charge of a benefit that is created during the energy session. It is this added component that can make Reiki Sessions with Jeremy powerful and extremely useful.

ABOUT JEREMY: Jeremy Anacker is also a Reiki Teacher qualified to do Reiki attunements. He studied with Helen Borth, the first Reiki Master in Wisconsin, for over 18 years in an exciting process of discovery and realization. He has been doing Reiki healing and alignment work for many years. If someone wants to become a Reiki practitioner, either for self use or to do energy work on others, Jeremy can teach them and offer the attunements necessary to awaken this unlimited life force gift. His added ability to see auras complements his teaching, and helps him better explain to students how to attune and trust because he can see what may be blocked in their energetic field.

Jeremy will fully explain the background and development of Reiki, and what is involved in both receiving Reiki healing work or studying this healing & uplifting modality. Jeremy will do a demonstration of how Reiki is done with one or more of the participants at the Intro. There will be discussion and everyone who attends will receive a 15% discount coupon toward a full hour Reiki session.

Treatments, Attunements and Reiki Sharing Events are offered on specific dates or by request. Personal Reiki treatments from Jeremy include dialogue on your personal auric field coupled with the benefits mentioned above. One hour sessions are $60.

ABOUT THE OUTREACH:

What is Reiki? It is a Japanese word pronounced (ray-key) and means Universal Life Force. This is the unseen Divine energy that flows through all living things on the planet. Reiki is the study of energy, a science based on the language of symbols and attunements. It is one of the simplest, most direct and powerful ways of focusing healing energy. Its history has been handed down from ancient Tibetan Sanskrit teachings of the Vedas and is over 5,000 years old.

Reiki is easy to learn, understand and practice. Practitioners and recipients find more peace, a relaxed sense of well-being, and use it as a positive treatment for the body, emotions, mind and spirit.

What is this sharing all about? Attuned Reiki Practitioners are offering their healing gifts to the general public. Come to sample a treatment and to get to know some of the healers that are available to the community.

You will spend some time resting on a Reiki table and one or more practitioner will provide you with the Reiki Blessing. The length of your treatment will be determined at the event.

Jeremy Anacker is hosting and facilitating this event. He is a Reiki Master, an Aura Seer, and a Transformation Educator of over 19 years. He attunes and educates others into the world of healing and he will be available to discuss and inform participants about Reiki as they are waiting for a session.

PART 4: ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST

With Rainbow Marifrog

$10 per class (or just $8 per class if paid in advance for the full series)

Everything we experience is based on agreements we have made - with ourselves, with others, with life. The most important agreements are the ones we make with ourselves. In these agreements we tell ourselves who we are, how to behave, what is possible, what is impossible. This transformative class series will help you uncover your core agreements, teach you how to clear out agreements that no longer serve you, and to create new ones that reflect your life's vision. Using Don Miguel Ruiz's best-selling book, The Four Agreements, as our guide, participants will be led deeply into themselves to discover how to live life in love and abundance, rather than fear.

Rainbow Marifrog has walked the shamanic path for over ten years and lives from a profound openness to life. Deeply present and highly intuitive, she is a Seer who guides people into the truth of their being. Rainbow provides a safe container while seeking the most alive expression from her students - regardless of flavor or form - because that is where the greatest energy lies, waiting to be reclaimed. She integrates body-oriented psychotherapy with these expansive shamanic practices, thereby supporting the development of the whole person. Rainbow works with people individually and in groups. Rainbow is new to Madison from the San Francisco Bay Area.

Using Don Miguel Ruiz's best-selling book, The Four Agreements, as our guide, participants will be led deeply into themselves to discover how to live life in love and abundance, rather than fear.

Rainbow Marifrog has walked the shamanic path for over ten years and lives from a profound openness to life. Deeply present and highly intuitive, she is a Seer who guides people into the truth of their being. Rainbow provides a safe container while seeking the most alive expression from her students - regardless of flavor or form - because that is where the greatest energy lies, waiting to be reclaimed. She integrates body-oriented psychotherapy with these expansive shamanic practices, thereby supporting the development of the whole person. Rainbow works with people individually and in groups. Rainbow is new to Madison from the San Francisco Bay Area.

ASTROLOGY MINI-WORKSHOP [ Tell a Friend ]

GUIDE TO CHART INTERPRETATION: IDENTIFYING THEMES AND LIFE PURPOSE IN YOUR BIRTH CHART: A MINI-WORKSHOP

With Shelley Jordan

$20

The ancient, sacred technology of astrological interpretation is founded on 12 essential and inter-related universal principles. These are described by the 12 signs of the Zodiac. Explore the wide-ranging realms of each of these 12 symbolic, developmental categories, and lay the foundations for a judgment-free and fluid approach to chart interpretation. We will employ a method that is unencumbered by cliché, fortune-telling and fear-producing negativity.

We each have patterns in our experiences and relationships that repeat throughout our lives. In this insight-oriented class you will learn to identify these patterns in your chart, enhancing your confidence and self acceptance as you gain understanding of your soul's 'major' in the university of life. Self awareness is one of the first steps on the road to self mastery.

Learn to LOVE YOUR CHART - it is a mandala of the soul, brimming with archetypal information about your personality and life objectives. Your birth chart reveals the contours of your inner world, your subjective, psychological and internal landscape. The chart as a whole gives you an organized framework for understanding Self and what makes you tick. Familiarity with your birth chart provides you with a rich guide to self improvement and insight. Everything in the chart has the potential to be expressed positively. The choice is yours. The objective to this approach to astrology, that rejects fatalism and pessimism, is to help you become a better person, and to have more compassion for others because you understand what lies behind their behavior.

This mini-workshop will meet at Mimosa Bookstore on September 5, 2009, at 2:00 PM. Bring your chart. If you don't have one, send Shelley Jordan an email and she will send you one for free. Everyone should have a copy of his/her own chart. Try and retrieve your birth time from your birth certificate. It's worth the effort. If you don't have one, or if there is no time on it, you will receive a solar chart, which still contains plenty of information about you and the contours of your inner life. Everyone attending will receive personal attention.

GOING DEEPER WITH THE FOUR AGREEMENTS

PART 1: BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD

With Rainbow Marifrog

$10 per class (or just $8 per class if paid in advance for the full series)

Everything we experience is based on agreements we have made - with ourselves, with others, with life. The most important agreements are the ones we make with ourselves. In these agreements we tell ourselves who we are, how to behave, what is possible, what is impossible. This transformative class series will help you uncover your core agreements, teach you how to clear out agreements that no longer serve you, and to create new ones that reflect your life's vision. Using Don Miguel Ruiz's best-selling book, The Four Agreements, as our guide, participants will be led deeply into themselves to discover how to live life in love and abundance, rather than fear.

CLEAR THE WAY: BASICS OF FENG SHUI [ Tell a Friend ]

$25 (includes materials)

Jan Reed, Certified Practitioner

Downsizing and don’t know where to start?

Are you surrounded by clutter?

Do you have to stay in your house longer than planned and want to give it a new feel?

Do you want to love your space again?

Feng shui can help you achieve these goals, and more.

WHAT IS FENG SHUI? Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art and science of placing objects in such a way to balance the yin and yang, and allow life energy (Ch’i) to flow freely. By applying the basic principles in our environments, we can enhance our everyday lives and bring about wanted changes.

By using Feng Shui, you can positively affect your life and bring balance and harmony into your environment. This class will help you learn skills of decluttering, organizing, color and furniture choices, preparing/staging you home for sale, and other basics of the art of Feng Shui.

All attendees will be offered a 25% discount on an in-home feng shui consultation.

ABOUT JAN REED: Jan became interested in Feng Shui 20 years ago and read every book she could get her hands on. She was very drawn to the principles and realized that she had been using them since childhood. For years she was asked to consult with friends and neighbors on their choices of color, furniture and interior design, and they recommended her to friends. Later she studied at the Two Feathers School of Interior Alignment under Neshi Lokotz and received certification as a Feng Shui Practitioner. Helping people “clear the way” by decluttering and organizing using Feng Shui is what Jan loves to do -- she feel it’s a valuable service in this busy time of “possession overload.” Jan talks to women every day who feel the same way, who want to really experience life but are afraid to. She wants everyone to experience the freedom and clarity that comes with getting rid of “stuff”!
