below.
The program

otherwise),
the outside
part of the
program is
weather
depended.
"The
civil-rights
movement is
one of the
most
significant
chapters in
our
country’s
history. As
2018 marked
the 50th
anniversary
of the
murder of
Dr. Martin
Luther King
Jr., it is a
time for our
nation to
reflect upon
how far
we’ve come
and how much
remains to
be
accomplished.
While we
confront
increasingly
racialized
violence,
emboldened
white
nationalists,
and a
morally
bankrupt
president,
we can look
back to the
victories of
the past and
to the
hundreds of
thousands of
brave
Americans
who fueled
this
history-altering
movement,
fighting—and
too often
dying—for
the cause of
equality."

to use this
energy to
support
yourself,
friends and
family to
live
happier,
healthier
lives.
Certified

teaching.

KNOTS!!!

630-6835
Eddie
Harada, an
electrical
engineer who
has
previously
worked in
Silicon
Valley, has
discovered
that certain
knots and
their unique
shapes
produce a
centering
energy to
harmonize
the body and
your
household
electricity.
These knot
shapes will
take
physical
energy that
is too
intense for
your body or
your
household
wiring and
bring it
back to
center. And
if it is too
deficient or
too
un-balancing
for the
human body
or your
home's
electrical
system, the
energies
emanating
from the
knots can
bring
everything
back to
center so
they can
create a
sense of
well being
inside of
you and your
home and
help
eliminate
Electro-Magnetic
Frequencies
(EMF’s).
Join us for
this
exciting
knot class!

things we
face is how
to let go.
How to let
go of
people, how
to let go of
ideas, how
to let go
expectations
or desires,
how to let
go of false
beliefs and
unhealthy
relationships...we
all have
long lists.
Every one of
those
stumbling
blocks
creates an
opportunity
to let go of
the past and
embrace the
future with
open arms.
Join us as
we explore
how to move
forward.
We’ll have
some new
suggestions
to offer and
we’d also
like to hear
what has
worked for
you so that
all of us
can benefit
and let go
of the past.
Bring a
favorite
food dish to
share.

Noon.
