Connecting the Diamonds: Practical and Spiritual Techniques to Help You Do What You Love and Love What You Do
Are you one of the millions of Americans that dread going to work each day? Do you feel unmotivated or uninspired by your work? Do you desire a change, but are unsure of what path to take? Are you tired of hearing, “Bloom where you are planted?” when you feel like you’re not in the right garden?
Using coaching techniques of asking powerful questions, listening, encouragement, mindfulness, and reflection, attendees will create or fine-tune goals not just for a new career but for every important area of their life. They also will experience the power of group synergy and begin to connect and support each other.
The true transformational power, however, lies in the realm of deepening our connection with spirit. By the end of the workshop attendees will begin learning to stop working at life and learn to work with life, choose with joy and let joy inspire service, start connecting the diamonds that bring love and goodness, unleash the power of gratitude, experience more synchronicity and inner guidance, and create more love and happiness from living in the present moment while making career/life transitions.
**This workshop is suited to people of any faith or spiritual background. It is based on ancient and timeless principles that are common to all traditions, and all attendees will be treated with respect.
Prerequisite: one week prior to the class I will email each attendee a questionnaire that will focus on how they feel about their current career/job, what ideas or goals they have for the future, what they feel they need help with, and more. The questionnaire also will provide a simple exercise for attendees to do the week prior to class that will open them more fully to the spiritual aspects of the workshop material.
Creating Your Personal Mission Statement
This is a fun-filled opportunity to create the most powerful and meaningful sentence of your life. Laurie Beth Jones, author of the book, “The Path” says “A mission statement is, in essence, a written-down reason for being…It is the KEY to finding your path in life and identifying the mission you choose to follow.” Come discover your KEY.
Empowered Relationships
Two people interacting together in any way are having a relationship. In this 3 hour workshop we will provide you with tools to take care of yourself without harming the other in the relationship. We will teach you communication skills both verbal and non verbal that will facilitate you being the authentic you without threatening the one you are interacting with.
Facilitating Your Dream Business
Many healers and creative people are able to help so many others, yet have difficulty making a living doing what they love so much. Is it an impossible dream? I don’t believe it is. You can bridge the business world with the world of spirit, healing and creativity, you just need someone who can help you close the gap.
Our goals for this session will be to a) name your dream and give it form, b) brainstorm the possibilities, c) create a simple road map, d) name the touchstones and create a “to do” list, e) “first things first” f) your commitment to your goal g) “keeping on keeping on”.
As part of this process we’ll be discussing the many practical aspects of establishing a business such as your service or product, short-term goals, where or how it is offered (studio, office, shop, online), considerations when choosing a location, space and good feng shui practices, pricing, and marketing to establishing your identity and attract clients. We‘ll also discuss long-range strategy and business development topics such as the art of relationship and client development, customer service and the importance of good communication, personal development and adding or developing your products and services. Finally, we‘ll also review the often less appealing topics such as record keeping, laws, licensing, insurance and taxes.
Participants will receive a workbook and handouts.
Fall Prevention in the Elderly
In the United States, one of every three persons age 65 and older falls each year. Among older adults, falls are the leading cause of injury deaths and the most common cause of injuries and hospital admissions for trauma. Participants will learn strategies to prevent falls among older adults such as exercises to improve strength, balance, and flexibility; reviews of medications that may affect balance; and home modifications that reduce fall hazards. Will include handouts. Students should bring an open heart, and note taking materials.
Freedom Is In This Moment: An Introductory Class In Breema Bodywork, Excercises, Meditation and Principles
Breema is a complete and practical system for living more fully in the present via connection to the body. Breema® bodywork and Self-Breema® exercises are comfortable, enjoyable, relaxing and revitalizing. Received fully clothed on a padded rug or mat, this method uses comfortably supported movements including firm yet gentle stretches, gradual leans into muscles, nurturing brushes and holding postures, and a wide variety of playful rhythmic movements. Movements range from subtle and soothing to vigorous and energizing.
Both the practitioner and recipient of a Breema session receive benefits which commonly include increased mental clarity, emotional balance, physical vitality and instinctive movement re-education. Breema¹s Nine Principles of Harmony are key to its vitalizing effects. They lead us to a totally new experience of ourselves- as we were meant to be.
All of us want fuller, richer lives. The problem is, we believe that something outside ourselves is going to give that to us, so we look for new and better experiences all the time. Money, possessions, love, art, travel, books, movies, sports- we all have our preferred vehicles that we expect will bring us that taste of truly living. In fact, they are never fully satisfying, and we continue looking for another experience- now this one, we think, will provide real satisfaction. Again, it isn't quite enough.
What Breema gives us is a way to see that the fullness and richness we seek already exists in ourselves, as we truly are, in the moment when we drop our concepts of what we think we are and what we think we need....to ask Katherine about Breema, write to katherinecorrea@comcast.net
Guardians Of The Heart: Self Worthiness In Relationships
When our hearts are young and we lack sufficient protective skills, those who shape our histories can inflict emotional pain that disrupts the natural order of how self-valuation develops. Although these traumatic events occur under different conditions, their symbols remain the same across cultures and surface as archetypal wounds. Based on his theory of biocognitive psychology, Dr. Martinez developed a concept relationships he calls Guardians of the Heart whereby protecting the fragileness of a partner during times of turbulence, healing fields can be coauthored to resolve the archetypal wounds. But the process of valuing others begins with learning to value Self.
Using modern cognitive science methods, participants will learn to identify the scripts of fear that sabotage intimate language and how to establish a covenant of safety to promote healing fields of mutual trust. More importantly, this workshop will teach how to apply the principles learned about relationships to Self.
Heart Forgiveness Weekend
Instructors: Paula Peace & Alexandra
Take back your Power and Live in the Present. Heart Forgiveness is about releasing angers that impede our journey forward. Every cell in your body has intelligence and the director is the subconscious mind.
You will not need a crying towel to get through the weekend. Just be willing to give yourself permission to be 100% present. The process is emotionally painless and spiritually productive and often great fun. Come and let go of those subconscious angers the conscious mind often forgets, but remain in the cells giving off the frequencies of illness, sadness, guilt, etc. Be ready to free yourself beyond your expectations.
My first reaction to Heart Forgiveness was; here is just another seminar that gives the same information that I have heard over and over! After being persuaded by my Higher Guidance to go, I experienced a life transforming weekend. Alexandra
“Thank You Spirit,” will be your mantra after the first day.

Living The Creative Life Of The Soul: Three Spiritually Transformative One- Day Workshops
This series of spiritually transformative experiential workshops is for seekers/servers who are working on fulfilling their spiritual destiny of serving humanity and transforming their lives into the life of the Higher Integrative Self that they are being impelled to become. The series of three one day sessions targets those who are already aware and have been actively engaged in spiritual practices and disciplines and who feel the instinct of the soul to serve humanity and the world through some means of creative living and/or professional contributions. Participants may choose to attend one, two or all three sessions.
This series will aim at assisting in facilitating those transformational struggles that many of us are actively immersed in. We will learn skills and techniques that will give us more power and conscious control through the development and enhancement of inner faculties and senses that are an integral part of the next higher state of consciousness..
In this series we will explore various states of consciousness in the human world as well as some higher states of consciousness. We will look at what this means in terms of higher inner senses that enable us to actively “see” and manage our personality vehicles of etheric, emotional and mental energies and use this ability in the process of achieving a transformation into a more uplifted and creative way of living in the human world. We will, essentially, be learning how to walk in both worlds simultaneously, the higher spiritual world and the human world. In this way we become the “middle way”, the Path through which the higher meets the lower and the world will be transformed through us..
Workshop one: An introductory workshop in which we will learn about and explore our personality and its bodies (etheric, emotional, mental) as forces and energies and begin to endeavor to experience and work with them from the objective and detached point of view of the higher self or soul..
Who should attend? Anyone interested in understanding and experiencing the etheric, emotional and mental energies that make up our personality and influence our everyday experiences and state of consciousness..
Workshop two: We will learn about the higher spiritual worlds as energies and how to contact them in a non-dual way, that is, not as the mystic which was our previous path and which is, therefore, the path of least resistance for us, but as the soul, unified and integrating through consciousness the higher and the lower states and energies. We will endeavor to experience higher energies in a non-dual manner..
Who should attend? Anyone interested in understanding and experiencing their soul or higher self and higher spiritual worlds through the quality of energy and forces at work in the world and us..
Workshop three: In the third workshop we will endeavor to put together the higher energies and the lower forces that we have learned to become conscious of in the two previous workshops through a new skill we can call “invocation”. Learning the science of invocation necessarily requires previous experience and skill at mental focus and concentration and experience with some type of mental discipline such as mindfulness meditation, Zen, centering prayer, esoteric meditation or their equivalent, as we will be using our mental energies and learning to project them into higher centers in order to achieve precipitation from above into our lower minds and bodies. We will, therefore, be learning the science of energy tension and learning how to build and hold intention not just as a form of personality desire, but also as a practice that involves the one-pointed tension of our entire personality forces. This necessarily involves the transformation of personal desire into aspiration for selfless service through intention and invocation. This workshop may be disturbing to individuals who are still learning to work through personal desire, the duality of mysticism and personal achievement and recognition.
Who should attend? Only those individuals experienced at spiritual disciplines and willing or impelled to take the next step toward service, sacrifice, selflessness and integration into the group conscious soul.

Making a Peaceful Transition
We yearn for confirmation that there is life beyond death. Crossing over is a natural process and begins from the moment we start to connect with spirit guides. Because our spiritual essence never dies, you will learn to assist the terminally ill in returning back home in a peaceful, loving manner.

The Art of Authenticity
Co-facilitated by Elisa Negroni SSW, Wendy Behr LCSW, Med, MA, Christie McKaskle BA
A fun and sacred space for women to Discover and Express the Truth of Who You Are. Weaving together body, mind, and spirit through genuine sharing, gentle movement and meditative journaling you will learn how to connect more deeply with yourself and others, claim your inner beauty and power, and release you natural passion for life.
The Art Of Self Empowerment
This 3 hour workshop is limited to 4 participants per workshop.
Empowerment is the state of knowing that you are limitless; that you are all you require to create and live the life you desire.
When one is empowered from within nothing or no one can prevent the achievement of dreams.
In this workshop we guide you to this understanding via lecture and interactive exercises.
The Presence Process
Moving from a place of inner body awareness brings your attention to the present moment - the stillness. From this place of consciousness you discover life as it is meant to be lived. By no longer resisting what is, rather embracing any resistance no matter how subtle, you soon see life for what it really is.
As the periods of present moment awareness become longer and longer, you discover deeper inner peace, more creativity and spontaneity, joy and true freedom of being alive. Accessing and living in the Inner Healer/Knowing is powerful. To assist others to also experience this Inner Knowing is to empower them.
To meet everything and everyone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer the Universe! - Eckhart Tolle
Living and working in expanded consciousness/stillness, you facilitate personal/planetary peace, healing and balance. Conscious Living in the Presence begins and ends in stillness.
What the Body Wants – Principles and Practices of InterPlay
Come join us for an afternoon of deep, quiet, meditative play…stories, songs, movement and opportunities to create stuff for ourselves and others. InterPlay is a system of ideas and practices – things to do and new ways to think. This approach allows us to bring all parts of ourselves together – body, mind heart and spirit, and to access our unique body wisdom. Participants will play with a theme each week, and let the content flow from “what’s up” with each person. Class will include a study of the book, “What the Body Wants” by Cynthia Winton Henry, InterPlay co-founder. Be a part of the growing InterPlay community in Nashville, and be linked with people in 50 cities who are using these forms and ideas to change their lives! Classes can be taken individually or as part of the series.
Each attendee needs to bring a floor pillow, a journal and an object that represents your desire to have more “play” in your life.
Writing the Perfect Bio
Everyone needs a biography. A personal bio truthfully tells who you are, states your credentials in a relevant way and helps others feel they can trust you. A business bio clearly and concisely describes what you do and entices a customer to consider the services or products you have to offer.
As a freelance writer, I am asked to write bios for many of my clients. I normally charge $75 for a 250-word bio. In this class, I will help you write your own dynamic description about yourself or your business for only $50. Your personal bio may be used to introduce you as a public speaker. Your business bio will be suitable for submission in a commerce directory. Either may be used on your website or in a brochure.
Sign up now and let’s have fun creating the perfect bio!
