This is a very informal meditation technique, designed to allow you, no matter what your experience, to "Start where you are". The form of meditation that I teach is based on Tibetan Buddhist meditation, using both mindfullness and single pointed meditation, along with breathing, chakra work, and movement.  Since I am fascinated with consciousness and the brain, I try to demystify some of how we operate mentally through what I have learned about neuroscience, I have been a meditation student for …

If an easy, simplified Tai Chi class designed for the 40+ year olds sounds appealing you are welcome to join us for a peacefully energized experience every Sunday morning in our garden patio from 9:30 to 10:45 am. Afterwards we share a cup of tea and our glow with a short spiritually attuned reading. I have been leading a small drop in class for friends and neighbors for many years and have decided to expand it a little. The form, a modification of Tai Chi Chih I have renamed "Tai Chi Lite", is …

How many blocks, beliefs and patterns have you released over the years...only to have them return? Maybe like me you’d like to experience and learn a technique that gets results where others haven’t. As a teacher and healing practitioner I was looking for the kind of change and depth healing that felt “as if it never had existed”! The good news is you no longer have to do course after course, see healer after healer, teacher after teacher to get the results and answers you need. I am excited to …

This is a group for serious law of attraction students, specifically as taught by Abraham-Hicks, who are looking for support in weight loss using LOA principles.

Abraham-Hicks says, “…as you are taking the action, you are working under a distinct handicap, fo …

A support group for women and their partners who have survived HELLP syndrome, a pregnancy related illness that often kills women and babies. For years I ran a peer hosted support group for women struggling with infertility (I had suffered multiple fetal demises and fertility treatments did not work) so I have experience hosting and moderating. My infertility support group saw the birth of SO MANY BABIES that the group still continues and the members have formed tight friendships. Now, since rec …

Earth based spirituality is about primal, deep connection.  It's the connection we long for with others and from nature's beauty - trees, plants, and animals.  It's the missing link for many people who've been relying on 'thinking' to seek higher consciousness - either by using thoughts to create more of we want, or by attempting to alter thinking through meditation.  Instead, this group is about nourishing ourselves through nature - plants, animals and other loving humans. Nourishment is what w …

About Mindfulness Exercises: The practice of self regulation of the autonomic nervous system. We teach integrated mind-body mental exercises to trigger a natural parasympathetic response in the autonomic nervous system. This response releases powerful neurochemicals (biochemicals) that regulate the immune system. Regulation of the immune system transforms the human body at the cellular level. This natural transformation affects our view, how we feel, and ultimately our perception of reality, it …

As a hypnotherapist I found that changing human Behavior is not always the solution; that deeply held Beliefs and Anger must be approached by other means. In my behavioral studies I found that all mammals (including humans) have a brain that was not discovered until 1975; called the Vagal Enteric Brain. It is a totally independent nervous system, so no amount of hypnosis or meditation will relieve the built up tension. It has no thought process but it does affect our mood, greatly. Individuals w …

The latest brain research recognizes the value of quality early childhood education. Early Childhood Educators don't have much opportunity to get together to exchange information on what works and doesn't work in their programs. Let's get together to share information, share stories, visit programs and work together to study Reggio, Montessori, Tinkering, Constructivist, Play -Based, Emergent Curriculum and more in a collaborative ECE environment.

Like the fictional brain in a vat, artificial minds are useless if they are not connected to the real world. Embodied cognitive systems require bodies and worlds where they can interact, explore, and learn. An open framework which connects artificial minds to devices in the real or virtual worlds is therefore of paramount importance. This undertaking involves both building the framework, a mind server, and building cognitive systems, minds, which can be instantiated on demand to control mobile d …

Well I think the group name does most of the describing, but the goal here is for people relatively the same age, to pick great books, meet up once a month and discuss them. I want to create a casual and fun atmosphere so that like-minded people can get together, meet people out of their circles, and have the intellectual stimulation that's void from so many of the encounters I've had with people out here in LA. We'll pick from a range of books, and meet wherever the group decides. Ideally, we'd …
