Perhaps it's time to look more deeply at the issue(s). Using guided exercises, personal exploration and loving support, that which seemed hidden is suddenly in clear "sight," the path leading to the change you seek is clearly marked and you have what you need to make the journey.

LM119 Tipping the Scale of Your Life: From Human to Spirit, Right Here Right Now!
24 hours
The purpose of this class is twofold: (1) to help students become “self observers” and (2) to give them tools to bring the words/actions of Spirit into their human experience. People generally live in a state of forgetting who they really are. They are living in the state of humanness. To balance the scale of life, they need to reconnect to their True Self and their true desires. Then they can begin to create the changes they desire in life. They can create Peace, Love, Joy, and Sustainability for all and live in the state of unity, not separation. This class will give students the tools to express their True Self through their human experience. By doing so, they will become more of their True Self and allow others to transcend to their True Self.
