How many of you have gone into a crystal shop and wondered which stones would resonate in your life? Now that you have the stones, what do you do with them? How do you clean them?
You are in luck my friends because in this workshop we will discuss the qualities and properties of 25 empowerment stones. We will begin by taking a stone quiz to find out which ones you need to have in your life and why. We will learn how to clear and clean your stones and the right and wrong way to use them. Then you, yes you, will put your intent in and charge your own stones.
Looking for a group where you can discuss and discover Young Adult literature with other readers? Come and check us out! Bring a friend and 2 books you would like to suggest for our future club discussions! Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
The goal of this club is for young adults to get together to read, discuss, and share YA literature. No genre is excluded! (So long as it’s Young Adult.)
Regular meetings will be held on the 4th Sunday of every month, from 1:30pm – 3:00pm
Join us at the Sanctuary as we weave sorrow, anger and acceptance together, embracing the space that we are currently in and allowing release to happen in our lives.
Change is something that occurs each and every moment in our lives. Since nothing is constant, it may sometimes seem as if we are losing something whenever things do change. Understanding that this is part of our daily existence and that there will not only be gains but also losses in our lives can help us more readily accept and deal with whatever happens.
Whenever we lose something or somebody we love, it is important for us to take time out for ourselves and truly feel the weight of what we are experiencing. Although it may seem that doing so will push us into a deeper state of sadness, truly giving ourselves permission to be with whatever arises actually creates space for us to begin the healing process. This is because the act of grieving is a natural process, allowing us to sort through the range of emotions that are present in our everyday existence. Even though it may sometimes seem easier to involve ourselves in activities that take our minds off of our sadness, this will only make the route to healing more difficult. Unless we listen to where we are in the moment, the emotions we experience will only grow in intensity, and our feelings will manifest themselves in more powerful and less comfortable ways. Once we consciously acknowledge that these emotions are present, however, we are more able to soothe the sorrow of the moment. In so doing, we become more open to our natural ability to heal ourselves.
Grieving doesn’t have to be a process that keeps us rooted in our thoughts of fear and sadness. For the moment we might feel despondent, but by expressing and coping with our true feelings, we face the sadness head-on. When we allow ourselves to accept and deal with our loss fully, we will then be able to continue our life’s journey with a much more positive and accepting outlook. This will make it easier for us to see that our grief is ephemeral and, just like our moments of happiness, it will also come to pass.
