Art Energy readings..  this Friday 5-8pm. ( 15 to 20 min/$20)
What are these?  Based on the premise that you know your own aura better than I do, I have you pick out 5 water colored pencils. I then start drawing a picture as it comes thru me. This picture is meant to empower you, and  inspire compassion for yourself and others. It is meant to be a visual perspective of your spiritual self. Sometimes they come out in a 2 d picture, sometimes they seem 3 d. Sometimes they confirm what you  are working on, sometimes they say something that is coming  for your highest good in the future. Many times I am able to sense the angels around you and your guides...or maybe you are the guide.

It is a piece of art that Both of us create.
blessings of beauty and creativity,
deb

Understanding Archetypal Energies at Beads N Botanicals, Urbana, IL

Understanding Archetypal Energies: How do you make the choices for your life?

Four sessions: July 8, 15, 22 & 29. 6 pm.

at Beads N Botanicals in Urbana, IL

to pre-register

What energies do you bring to the choices you make? The choices you make and the energies you bring to them are clues to your innate archetypal energies. One way to look at archetypes is as behavioral energy patterns--the instinctual ways you respond to people and events in your life. They influence the roles you play in each of your life's dramas.

Every person is born with their own personal mix of archetypal energies. By identifying and learning to live in alignment with your archetypes, you can explore how to live life in a way that does not compromise the beauty and power of your spirit. Discover the treasure of you. Explore the energy of your child, victim, saboteur, artist, seeker, goddess, warrior, storyteller, martyr, addict, athlete, judge, hero, coward, hermit, damsel, knight, mother & more.

Instructor Karen Gottlieb completed both the Sacred Contracts program of archetypal study and Entering the Castle of Your Soul taught by Caroline Myss, CMED Institute. Cost: $100 pre-paid by July 1^st; $125 thereafter. Four sessions: July 8, 15, 22 & 29. 6 pm. Archetypal Cards will be available for purchase.

Herbal Medicine Classes in Champaign Urbana Central Illinois

DAYTIME: Wednesdays, June 3 through July 1st

Herbal Medicine Chest Course:
Several people wanted to take this course, but could not come in the evening. So, in addition to the class starting this Thursday evening on May 7, I am now offering the 5-week HMC class during the day on Wednesday mornings.

This course will cover somewhere between 25 and 50 herbs, holistic approaches to “medicine,” a traditional Chinese medicine view of “medicine,” and a Native American perspective on “medicine.” You will learn how to us herbs safely and responsibly; methods of preparing herbs; suggested herbs to keep on hand for everyday use; how to make herbal oil infusions and salves; and how to use wild edibles as food and medicine.

Huge
cache reveals more about Spanish empire’s
outposts and trade routes

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30192093/

A cache of some 70,000 glass beads from all
over the world has been unearthed
at an island off Georgia, comprising
the largest repository ever from what was
one of the Spanish empire's
most remote and wealthy outposts, and revealing more
about 17th-century
trade routes.

Made of French and Chinese blue glass,
Dutch layered glass and Baltic amber,
the beads were found as part of an ongoing research project at the former Mission
Santa Catalina de Guale on what is now called St. Catherines Island.

Founded in the 16th century, this site was the capital and administrative center of the province of Guale in Spanish Florida for the better part of a century.
