SIX-WEEK RADICAL ACCEPTANCE GROUP
with Karen Short, LICSW
Wednesday evenings, 7:15 - 8:45 p.m.
September 15, 22, 29, October 6, 13, 20


A six-week course for women who are open to personal growth and who wish to learn awareness/meditation techniques to bring inner peace and greater joy into their lives. In her book Radical Acceptance, Tara Brach explores the notion that our greatest suffering comes from a deep underlying core belief that somehow we are not good enough, that something is wrong with us, that we need to be different in some way. Through her years of experience as a Buddhist meditation teacher, therapist, yogi, and mother, Tara has created practical and powerful tools and techniques that can be used to break free from this "trance of unworthiness" and live a more fulfilled and peaceful life. In this six-week group, participants will learn how to apply the tools of Radical Acceptance in order to live more fully in the present moment as well as to experience greater freedom and joy in their lives. Size of group is limited, so sign up early!
Cost $150 for six-week series.
For further information on this or future courses,
please call Karen at 978-266-9100 or email kpsinacton@gmail.com.

EATING FOR ENERGY AND BEAUTY
With Elena Samadar Volkova, Holistic Health Counselor and Coach
Free. Coming soon! Date TBA

Says Elena: "I have often been in France or a French embassy when they are celebrating their big national holiday in July, La Prise de Bastille, or Bastille Day as it is called in English. Elegant tables would be spread with a vast array of delicious gourmet food, cheeses, charcuteries (sliced meats), baguettes, wine ... and all the women gathered around the table enjoying the feast were fit and trim and elegant!" What is this amazing phenomenon that we occasionally hear about in the news, of typical French women who eat rich foods yet stay so slim? How do they do it? You can learn more about it in this workshop with Elena!
Topics discussed will include: Factors that contribute to our sense of energy and vitality, Foods that increase or decrease energy, FRENCH WOMEN DON'T GET FAT: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure, a wonderful book by Mireille Guiliano. We'll talk about the book and about how to eat what you want and yet stay slim and beautiful.

Plan on joining a great group of women for this free event at Karendyth!
To register, call Elena 617 378 2728

EVOLUTIONARY HEALING SESSIONS
with Laura Feldman

Please contact Laura for information and future dates.

Laura writes: For those of you who have been experiencing "stuff," and I mean "STUFF," I'm right there with you! The good news? An Evolutionary Healing Session, focused on obliterating unhelpful patterns, can create room for profound change, profound shifts, profound choice, profound joy! Each time we come together in sacred space, we give ourselves opportunities to own our experience of how we desire to live. Is it always filled with animated unicorns and rainbows? Well, not for me, personally, but nonetheless my Spirit team of angels, teachers, masters, animals, etc. is always around me and available for assistance. However it is up to me to do my part to co-create the life experience I desire. This is spiritual partnership.

So, how do we live this partnership with grace? How do we do it when we can't seem to get out of our own way? First we breathe and ask for help from above while keeping our feet planted on the ground. Every tiny step (no matter how insignificant to us) gets us that much closer. Then we partner up with a healer to help us courageously face our "stuff" and consciously release and clear it! When this happens we are better able to integrate our new reality that is in flow with the divine. I choose to use the gifts of Spirit to help me live my life here on this Earth as the best human I can be. If this planet is my playground, I want every opportunity to experience the "play"!

I am excited to offer a new tool to gracefully facilitate the release of toxic energies that are preventing you from experiencing your power. In partnership with my spiritual team, I will be at Karendyth on Sunday, July 25, utilizing available energies to bring forth as much light as possible for you to illuminate your truth and own your sovereign power as co-creator of your playground. If you are ready for this, "buckle up" and contact me to schedule your appointment:
Cost $99
(sessions typically run about 60 to 90 minutes.)
Email Laura or call 603-438-5924.
In gratitude,
Laura
