Qi Gong Refresher Class on THURSDAY November 8, from 6:45PM to 7:50PM 

  <http://www.thegreenbough.com/images/QiGong-symbolblue.jpg> 

Balanced Energy Dynamics QIGONG
for greater health & vitality with 
Linda Vucelich, B.S. Ed.; T'ai Chi & Movement Specialist. 

Review & practice the 9 minute system of 13 simple, flowing movements with
focused, gentle breathing.  

The practice of Qi Gong balances our energy system by removing blockages and
strengthen the immune system to promote vitality. The system prepares us to
establish an easy, rewarding home practice that will help optimize health &
enjoyment of life. 

Qi Gong is perhaps the purest form of "life energy" practice available.
Often described as Meditation-in-Motion, it is associated with increased
energy, stamina and mental functions. It is used by many for self-healing
and can produce dramatic results when practiced regularly. It is also known
for its effectiveness on certain injuries and disease that do not respond to
conventional treatment. 


Cost is $12. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. This class is only for
former students to review. A new series will be announced soon which will
begin early in 2008.

Understanding Death from a Spiritual Perspective
with Spiritual Medium Carole J. Obley  <http://www.soulvisions.net> 

What happens to us when we die? 
What is the Other Side - the spirit world - really like? 
How can we heal grief and use it to grow spiritually? 

This three (3) hour workshop focuses on helping you to understand death
spiritually and as a natural transition in life. You will learn how death is
a catalyst in our spiritual evolution and discover the reality of the
continuity of the soul. Included are: 

*	An in-depth explanation of the three-part transition of death. 

*	A fascinating description of the nature of the spirit world, its
connection to earth and the soul's journey after death. 

*	Personal examples from Ms. Obley's communications with those in
spirit that prove the existence of the soul after death. 

*	A powerful experiential exercise using a photograph to help you heal
and embrace emotional closure with those in spirit. 

*	A meditative journey across the Rainbow Bridge that reconnects you
with your loved ones in spirit through love. 

*	A discussion of your soul's spiritual purpose and blueprints before
incarnation and the significance of "wake-up" calls that alert you to them. 

*	A question and answer segment. 

*	Random demonstrations by Carole of evidential messages from your
loved ones that prove the continuity of life after death, providing
reassurance and peace. 

Please bring a photo of your loved one(s) in spirit to the workshop. Reserve
your space with pre-payment by NOV-15 at 724-331-9085

You are invited to remember with Marie taBonne's inspired artwork now on
display at The Green Bough.

"I invite you to open your mind and heart and come with me on a journey to
the House of God Energy." 

>From the artist, about her journey: 

I am a published writer of hard and feature news, a weekly column and
technical engineering and advertising copy. I served in corporate America as
marketing director for an international manufacturing firm for ten years. My
professional background does not include an art education. I began painting
only AFTER the near death experience and sincerely believe I paint because I
received a gift of spirit to show others what I saw and to share the lessons
I learned on the "other side." I paint without brushes, using only my hands
and fingers. 

LOOK AND REMEMBER
A COMMISSION TO CHANGE 
by Marie taBonne 

 <http://www.lookandremember.com/> Witness a collection of original oil
paintings resulting from her 
near-death experience. 

Selected framed paintings, print reproductions, and her book are available
