Law of Attraction Discussion Group — Visualization exercises in LOA
Dec 9 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Online
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!

Virtual Divine Feminine Circle: Mother Mary
Dec 30 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Online

Let’s gather together VIRTUALLY to celebrate Mother Mary and discover our own inner divine feminine.

Join us for a monthly ceremony to celebrate the Divine Feminine. Awaken and empower the levels of conscious connection with your inner wise woman using alchemical interventions. Every month a specific Goddess will guide our circle for us to remember how Her magic can intertwine with our own, elevating our greatest selves to Rise. Adora combines over 20 years experience walking the spiral of the Divine Feminine to inspire the community with rare aromatics, crystals, meditation and vibrational medicine to Transform and Evolve our feminine power.

In this month’s “Igniting the Spark of the Divine Feminine” we will work with Mother Mary. Mother Mary offers us many teachings, her universal comprehension of life that fully embraces the gamut of human experience is perhaps what I most closely connect with. We will explore the alchemy of Mother Mary in relationship to her Divine attributes of grace, courage, humility, faith, wisdom, and to support the expression of your authentic self along your path of self-mastery. I will offer teachings on alchemical interventions and guided meditation to invite her aspects of the Divine Feminine to rise in greater ways of clarity, vibrancy, and empowerment in your life.

Soul Work Through Art
Jan 7 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
Online

Join me for this 4-week intensive program where you will dive into intuitive drawings, aura drawings and auragraphs.

Intuitive Art
Doodling your Feelings. Intuitive drawings can begin as simple doodle that will become more eloquent as you practice. You can use ballpoint pens, markers, gel pens or pastels. Draw for the surprise and joy of the process, without knowing in advance how each drawing will turn out.

Aura Drawings
Your energy field contains massive information about your life. The oval field surrounding you can reveal the energetic memory of your life before conception and to present day.

Auragraphs
An auragraph is a beautiful way of giving a psychic reading. It is a representation of a person’s life story, their past, present and potential future. A Psychic or Medium will tune into the auric field and draw a symbolic representation.

Each week we will discuss a different type of soul work. Each student will draw, read another student and receive a reading. Each reading is unique and contains information that your sitter is ready to hear, and the information Spirit wants you to have.

Be sure to bring paper and colored pencils or crayons (or anything that you would like to use to draw with).

This workshop will take place Thursday evenings at 7:30PM – for 4 weeks and 2 hours each. January 7 – 28, 2021
$90/person payable via paypal.me/mediumrobyn or Venmo (@Robyn-Wolf-11).

Soul Care

**Soul Care Groups are for members of the Joy Prescription. See enrollment information below.**

What: Soul care facilitated by Dr. Libert via Zoom video call.

Soul care groups offer a sacred space for healing, especially for those struggling with stress, anxiety and depression. We intentionally set aside time to come together for contemplation, for sharing our stories, for deep, empathetic listening, for Bible study, for silence, listening and tuning in to the still small voice of God together.

Although every Soul Care group session is unique, here’s the general format:

Welcome
Opening Prayer
Introductions & Check-In
Gentle Movement Activity
Dialogue on Scripture
Reflection & Sharing Group Wisdom
Closing Circle

All are welcome. While our background and teachings are distinctly Christian, we welcome ALL people seeking God into our community. All members must agree to and abide by our group covenant to participate in Soul Care groups.
