THE WITCH & THE WISE WOMAN:
All Your Dreams Come True While You Save The World, Too!
with Kathy Davis
The world needs its wise women now as never before. Yet, if we’re so darn smart (and we ARE!) why do women still lag behind by every measure both in the U.S. and around the globe? Together we will rummage through the proverbial closets of our “herstory”, both ancient and recent, to reveal an answer that is surprising and freeing. We will delve deeply into how that unleashes latent power, potential and possibility in your own life and how to channel that torrent to live the radiant, vibrant, empowered, fulfilled life of your dreams. B.Y.O.C.C.C.*
* Bring Your Own Curiosity, Compassion and Courage!
Kathy Davis has earned a reputation for her quick wit, exceptional intelligence and her passion for what she terms “the sacred power of women to create the possible from the impossible. Drawing on more than three decades of leadership in corporate America and several non-profits, she has emerged as her own unique brand, blending ancient wisdom with 21st century reality to evoke, encourage and inspire women to transform our world starting with our own lives.

EFT & Other Tools To Shift Your Beliefs
with Helen Racz
Do you have self-sabotaging beliefs or even good beliefs that aren’t quite strong enough to move your life consistently in a positive direction? Do you suffer with self doubt, wonder why others get life’s goodies and you don’t or, simply, not have enough good days? Let’s get to the core of the issue. FREE YOURSELF from whatever is holding you back from the life you want and deserve! Let Helen introduce you to the magic of EFT – Emotional Freedom Technique.
For Helen Racz, her journey toward alternative healing began in 1987 after a serious auto accident. She was left in chronic pain that she was told would only become worse over time. This was not an outcome she was willing to accept. She began to explore self hypnosis, biofeedback and meditation. She devoured books on healing, from the very scientific to the spiritual and successfully became pain free. MORE…

LEADERSHIP: The Art of Influencing Others
with Glen Carle
The Dalai Lama once said: “If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito”. Leaders are made and not born. And, influential leaders are those willing to learn and willing to look foolish while they learn. Glen will entertain, inform and challenge the leader in you who is ready to bring your idea, project, or initiative into the world. We need leaders who can influence—who can make ideas come alive. This can be YOU!
Glen Carle has turned his degree in engineering, software development and 20 years in corporate America into a spring board to business coaching and
public speaking. His passion and personal goal is to make every client he works with the success they have always wanted to be. While working for major corporations he learned to recognize and overcome common workplace black holes. He has discovered that to successfully represent ourselves and what weare offering the marketplace—whether that is our services or a product—we must treat those efforts as an art form. MORE…

FINDING YOUR TRUE CURRENCY –
And Spending It Wisely
with Angela Caughlin
As we write the story of our life each day, we begin to understand that each person’s balance is driven by different desires and motivations—our internal forces. Balance is ultimately seeded by our values and beliefs, which are largely unexamined and even unconscious. We each have a finite amount of time and energy each day. So, the question becomes,” How do I discover the values and beliefs that drive me and where am I going to invest my energy to get the long-range results I desire for what is most important to me?” Discover how to shift out of rote and re- wire your neural pathways, enabling you to make conscious choices to redefine how to maximize the investment of your greatest asset- your energy! Its time to Awaken!
Angela H. Caughlin, LCSW, author, life coach/psychotherapist, workshop and conference presenter, is a recognized expert in the field of re-wiring neural pathways through journaling.

Sacred Gong Meditation
with Satya Shepherd
The gong has been used for thousands of years as an important tool for healing and meditation. The entire body vibrates and changes as the gong is played. The sound creates deep relaxation; it releases you from your thoughts and opens a deep state of well being.

Pyramid Meditation & Chakra Tai Chi
with Hadas Amiel
In this presentation you will learn two forms of meditation – a seated and a movement meditation. We will start with the Pyramid meditation – a guided, seated meditation inspired by a spiritual experience in the pyramids in Egypt and used to create a safe container in the form of a pyramid for centering, grounding, self exploration and guidance. We will continue with Chakra Tai Chi- a form of movement meditation which will help us to further explore and align with our own resources through the chakras and primal energy flow at the center of our being. Both meditations were created by Dr. Aminah Raheem, originator of Soul Lightening Acupressure.
Hadas L. Amiel, PT (Isr.), LMT is an experienced holistic body work practitioner, instructor and Physical Therapist since 1990.
