24  /  3:00-5:00 PM
 Oneness  <http://www.thegreenbough.com/meditation.htm#OnenessDeeksha>
Blessing Deeksha Gathering!

Join the Oneness Blessing facilitators, Mohana, A.T., and Nicholas, as they
help you access deep states of consciousness through the Oneness Blessing
(Deeksha). 

The Oneness Blessing process works by creating a neurobiological shift in
the brain and awakening the energy centers (Chakras) in the body. Once
initiated, it is a gradual Awakening process that leads you naturally to a
lasting state of Oneness, inner peace, and wellbeing and connection with the
Higher Self. The process helps to set right relationships within yourself
and with others. 

More Deeksha dates are on the website:  Check
<http://www.thegrenbough.com/meditation.htm#OnenessDeeksha> them out!

OPEN TO ALL.  Suggested Contribution: $30 / $20 Students with valid ID

Astrology and Finding Your Life Direction
with Intuitive Astrologer Rick  <http://www.starself.com> DiClemente

Are you finding yourself in a DEAD-END job???  Are you becoming frustrated
because your job just isn't you???

Explore and Discover...

Where you are in your career cycle...
What inherent abilities and talents you have... What you have to offer but
may not realize it... What you need (or not) from a job or career right
now... Is it a good time to switch jobs right now? Is self-employment a good
choice for you? 

Learn to do what you LOVE to do!

  <http://www.thegreenbough.com/images/lifedirectionguy.gif>
<http://www.starself.com> Rick returns to show us how the ancient art and
science of astrology can help us find a more fulfilling career path, what
our unique talents are, and what we truly need to get from what we do.  

Rick will do live and interactive interpretations from your natal chart
information (birth date and time), pinpointing your Dharma (your true life
direction). By understanding the direction and guidance from your own chart
and symbols, you can rely on its wisdom.

Cost is $25        RSVP by Friday MAY 23.
