Tomorrow night, Thursday at 6PM Fearnow will be teaching her life-changing technique Therapeutic Mindfulness at DNA Awakening School. We have all heard of mindfulness, but what is the difference between that and THERAPEUTIC mindfulness? The efficacy of the technique lies in that difference. I have witnessed profound and lasting relief and transformation happen over and over again with people in my life who have learned this technique from her. This is a short explanation of the way therapeutic mindfulness is different than traditional mindfulness. Give it a read and then join us tomorrow. Link to register is in the comments.

Welcome everyone! Ruth here. I've announced that on Thursday, September 18th at 6:00pm, I will demonstrating Therapeutic Mindfulness. But what makes this different from mindfulness and why should we learn it? I was practicing mindfulness many years before I went back to school to become a therapist....

Eclipse Season is intense. This one is happening within a Virgo season that has two Virgo New moons within the same solar season, both at anaretic degrees. Beginnings and endings speed up and we are often moved to jump timelines. In these workshops you will learn more about the specifics of these Eclipses, how they are likely to show up in your life and how best to work with them. You will also be guided through a Yoga practice designed to strengthen your nervous system, enabling it to better hold these shifts as well as detoxification so as to release all that we are being asked to let go of in order to move into the next cycle.

This is a 3-part workshop series. The dates for these sessions are August 24th (New Moon in Virgo Eclipse Season Kick-off event), September 7th (Lunar Eclipse in Pisces Event) and September 21 (Solar Eclipse in Virgo) at 10AM. They are in-person events held at DNA Awakening School, Books & Gifts at 1615 S Calhoun Street. Please bring a yoga mat, cushion and plenty of water. It is recommended to not eat for at least an hour prior to practice. There is free parking on the street and in the parking lot across the street. To get the most out of these sessions, it is recommended that you attend all three, though it is not necessary. Drop-ins are also welcome. Please register in advance at dnaawakeningschool.com .

Good Morning! This event is tonight! Here is a little note from Regina Leffers on what you can expect this evening. What a wonderful way to kick off the weekend!

“This is a class for meditation newbies and practitioners alike. Most folks who are attracted to meditation are living from within the 6th facet of consciousness, Care and Empathy. In this class, I’m going to talk about the shadow aspect of this 6th facet that can keep us stuck and prevent us from moving into the 7th, living from our Foundational Core Self. The bridge between these two facets of consciousness gets navigated by the few. But if humanity itself is to survive, more of us need to intentionally cross this bridge. I’ll have a handout that describes both the shadow of 6 and the bridge to 7 so you can refer to it when needed. I’ll teach some meditative techniques and biohacks to help navigate when we recognize that we’re caught in the shadow of 6. We will also do a deeper meditation that dives into the body and anchors us in peace.” You can register at dnaawakeningschool.com. Workshop is held at 1615 S Calhoun Street, Fort Wayne IN. Free street parking in front and in the parking lot across the street. See you soon!

HIGH VIBRATIONAL LIVING

The higher your vibration, the more transcendent your life!

Sunday, September 14, 12noon-3pm

$30/person. Registration Required (see below)

Art and Awakening Center, 1615 S. Calhoun St., Fort Wayne In 46802

This seminar is the one so many have asked Ellie about! Life suffering can be transmuted into energy that boosts us into fulfillment. Daily lifestyle practices and personal choices can raise our vibration into higher frequencies aligned with transformation. Remaining in the lower vibrations of fear, doubt, self-loathing, confusion, and depression keeps us stuck, causing increased anxiety and uncertainty. Personal change is essential. Participants learn practical actions to immediately boost their personal transformation.
