JOIN US for an engaging program with dynamic performances, presentations by local Community organizations, reflections from community representatives and an inspirational keynote address by Dr. Brenda Thames, Prisma Health Chief Academic Executive Officer and Provost.
This year’s theme “Where do I go from here?” is based on Dr. King’s last book: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: CHAOS OR COMMUNITY?
Today we find ourselves still grappling with the same question.
Our goal is to mobilize our viewers to personally contribute to moving America towards unity. The theme is a self-reflective question that pushes us to consider how we, as individuals, can make our society better now and for coming generations. Through our program we want to help bring clarity to the uncertainty surrounding our future by promoting specific tools for empowerment, inspiration and guidance.
The YouTube Link to join the program will be provided in your Registration Confirmation E-mail.

Law of Attraction (LOA) is a powerful guideline that can be utilized within our lives, and impacts ourselves as well as the collective consciousness. Let’s discuss practical, everyday ways we use and apply these tools in 2020! This session’s discussion will be, “Visualization exercises in LOA.” No advance prep, reading or knowledge required. Come with an open mind and heart, free of judgement, and let’s learn together! This is an inclusive, informal, interactive discussion for people will all levels of LOA understanding.
Some other topics we will cover in future discussions include:
– How to utilize LOA to manifest best case scenarios
– Gratitude practices as a tool in manifestation
– Honoring your own feelings, emotions and well being (and others) as a form of self care while manifesting
– Staying grounded, avoiding toxic positivity and spiritual bypassing when manifesting
– Visualization exercises in LOA
– Manifesting on specific themes (love, money, good health, etc.)
Discussions will be held by Kathryn Brahaney, myself. I’ve utilized Law of Attraction in having a significantly better recovery than anticipated from two major car accidents, in receiving a job offer that allowed me to relocate to Asheville, NC (where I live now) and in finding my favorite apartment to date in a city I wasn’t sure would be in my budget. I started these discussions to share my experience using Law of Attraction and to provide opportunities to learn more that are accessible and affordable. Looking forward to sharing more with you all and chatting about how we can use LOA in navigating the rest of 2020 and beyond!

In this Reiki session, there is nothing for you “to do” but just relax and receive.
The Reiki energy is intuitively guided and knows exactly what you specifically need in each moment to feel at peace, calm, and whole.
And where two or more are gathered – this energy is amplified!
Looking forward to being together & sharing in this beautiful field.

ALL ARE WELCOME! See you soon
