Each journal entry originates with a question directed at a person, a part of your body, your spiritual-self, or God. What follows is a written conversation. Through this conversation you can resolve conflict, release anxiety, perceive solutions, and discover new paths using your true intelligence. Move beyond conventional diary writing into a more satisfying spiritual and emotional journey with conversation journaling. You do not have to like to write or consider yourself a good writer to benefit from this workshop.

The Energetics of Food 1 hour
Exploring the spiritual, emotional, and nutritional power of what we eat. This class was inspired bu the book written by Steve Gagne, Food Energetics.
Have you ever thought of food being more that just fuel for the body? We will discuss how food imparts a living wisdam that is beyond the science and mechanics of calories, grams, and nutrient values. Why do we eat chicken soup rather then beef stew when we get sick? We will explore what acient people knew about food through their relationships with the plants and animals providing their food, understanding that their food conveyed the unique energetic qualities of its source, such as swiftness froma wild deer and groundedness from root vegetables. Industrial food production and Agribusiness has contributed to people becoming disconnected from the source of their food and we are no longer able to register the subtle rhythms, harmony, and energies that food can convey. You will never look at food the same way again.
