A more advanced class may be offered on Friday morning for those who want to learn more or work on technique.

Psyche Hike™ is a chance for women to rejuvenate, reawaken, and restore mind, body and soul. Through the powerful integration of exercise and meditation, Psyche Hike™ is a hiking meditation in a beautiful outdoor setting that enhances physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

Women’s Lib(ido): Reclaiming Your Exotic Feminine Power
Dr. Deb Kern
For Women Only! As women reconnect with the unique feminine aspect of their essence they awaken their inherent divine feminine power. This awakening is important not only for the healing of women, but for the healing of the planet.

In this session, Dr. Deborah Kern teaches you how to embrace your sensual, feminine nature to awaken you to the most powerful and pleasurable life.
Women can and must renew themselves over their lifetime. This is a challenge—but a fun one. It makes for a most interesting life.

Walking to the Grand Canyon
Rene Marie
This workshop incorporates the six verses to my spoken-word piece, "walking to the grand canyon". I wrote the piece shortly before packing up and moving out of a life situation that I realized was the antithesis of where I wanted to be. This was the first move I’d ever made where the sole consideration was myself (What I wanted/didn't want. Where I wanted/didn't want to live. How I wanted/didn't want to live.) and myself only - not my mother, sons, fans, record label, siblings, friends, manager, booking agent. I was prepared to risk it all in an attempt to find within myself that which I instinctively knew was there.
Using my piece as a guideline, you will be encouraged to write your own 6 verses about losing and reclaiming herself on the way to the Grand Canyon. You will also learn the chant I composed to accompany the piece.

Creative Thinking: Open the Gate, I’ll Show You the Way
Holly Stiel
When Holly Stiel, professional speaker and corporate trainer, bought a house on the Northern coast of California in 2002, she was amazed to discover a small white gate at the edge of her forest that led to a path overgrown with witch’s butter mushrooms, the hulls of ancient redwoods, scotch broom, and dragonflies. She felt an enchantment there, in the silence, the fog, and red orchids that she had not known since childhood. After teaching all over the world, Holly became the student of a six-year old girl who guided her through her own backyard. She received instruction in the flights of fairies, the customs of pixies and listening to the wisdom of the earth. By being willing to play and enter the fantastic, Holly discovered that the imagined world becomes real and your real world becomes what you can imagine.
Eager to share this powerful message, Holly created a mystical tour through the grottos, groves, ferns and creeks of her property that leads visitors on the path to self-discovery. She will entertain you with the humorous process of enlisting local artists, day laborers, indigenous materials and surly neighbors in the creation of a real fairy path. With photographs, exercises and a little fairy dust, for the first time ever she brings the path to you. Holly will guide you through an inspiring practice of manifestation through visitation of actual locations on the path: the Gratitude Circle—Giving Thanks, the Moss-covered Stump—Taking care of Yourself, the 1,000-year old Ballroom--Intentional Dreaming, Hitting the Goat Wall-Overcoming obstacles, Listening to your Heart, Befriending the Dark Place, the Valley of the Ferns—Personal Responsibility, the Tree of the Three Sisters—honoring family, and the Crystal Path of Friendship. If you are tired of just reading about The Secret and The Laws of Attraction, undertake a physical journey of giving and receiving that will enact change in your life. If you want to manifest your dreams, come learn from a woman who has. After 90 minutes you will discover that the real magic is not in fairy tales but in actualizing what you have inside yourself. Once you open the gate, you will be amazed at where your path will take you.

Creative Thinking:
Cynthia James
People today are actively seeking purpose and most of us are looking for it outside of ourselves. We are looking in relationships, in jobs or careers, we are looking to be validated by something out in the world that says we are enough, we are powerful, we are dynamic. But learning to soar, means understanding that you already have everything that you could possibly need to live a full, enriched, powerful life. There are five portals through which you must step to soar:
Moving beyond our limitations
Daring to take risk
Tapping into our full potential
Coloring outside the lines
Stepping outside of the boxes of life that hold us hostage

Michelle Karl
Women will embark on a journey exploring some of the barriers that stall their progress in connecting with their ideal life and authentic self. During the session women will work in the large group, and in smaller groups, defining their own personal foundation. This foundation is grounded and nurtured in each woman’s identity, being biased on the characteristics and values that are most important. Women will begin to restructure their lives, focusing on their strengths and passions, to further acknowledge and validate their own personal power.
We only have 5 seconds to make a great first impression. Did you know that before you can even say hello of shake someone’s hand, you’ve already told them hat they need to know about you? In this workshop we will create your first impression so that it makes a difference. We’ll look at the key attributes you have that everyone should know when they meet you. Then we’ll create how to have those shine through.
We’ll also talk about one of the hardest things as women we have to deal with, out bodies. No matter what size or shape you are, I’ll show you how to accentuate the positive and disappear the negative so you feel amazing every day. Changing your style changes your life. By altering the way you look you alter the way you feel which then ultimately alters what’s possible for you in life. You will leave this workshop having access to feeling amazing and increasing your confidence forever.
