The Artist's Way
Class starts: February 27 ending April 23 for 9 weeks 6PM - 8:30PM, $50 deposit holds your space. Tuition: $295.
Free Introduction February 13th from 6 - 7:30PM
The most interesting trip you will ever take is the journey within. Whether you have a specific goal in mind or just want to explore what's possible, this transformational class is for you! Using Julia Cameron's groundbreaking book, "The Artist's Way" , as a basic text and expressive arts activities such as image-making, writing, movement, visualization and role play, you'll open to your creative, intuitive side in this safe, supportive group. The activities are fun and insightful and are designed to help you gain self-knowledge, increase your confidence, overcome your blocks and transform your relationship with your inner critic. This class is perfect for people in a life transition or for those who just want to explore what's next.

Please note: This is not an art class, and you do not have to have a specific goal in mind to benefit greatly from the course. No artistic or writing ability is required, just an open mind and a commitment to connecting with your creative self!

Metaphysics and Its Practical Applications
In Spanish
Saturdays, February 4 and 18, 6-8:00 p.m.
This will be a Spanish introductory class to learn why it is that most persons do not live a fuller, more complete life. Discover the powerful hidden secrets of your subconscious self, beyond the physical "reality" imposed on you from childhood. Learn to master your mind and take control of your life by thinking "out of the box" and unrestrained by programmed limitations, restrictions and constraints. All you’ll need is you, a pen and writing tablet.
Library donation.

Prepare for the Ascension
Sundays, 6:00 p.m
Opening our hearts to prepare for Ascension 2012! This is the Year. No need to fear. We are about to move into a dimension of Love, Light and Unity! As we are vibrational beings, our passage requires that we increase our frequency...but...how do we do this? We enter a cycle where we need to think, feel, and act differently. We need to open our hearts, leave judgments behind and connect to our TRUE selves. In this class, Izabelle Joie Doucet, Minister and Metaphysical teacher will facilitate this process and help you deepen the connection with the Divine in you, using different tools such as the "I am practice", meditation, chakra clearing, affirmations, energy clearing. Before you say YES or NO to this journey, go within and ask yourself: Is this for ME? Follow your heart.
Info: (760) 737-3515.
