We had an incredible time at the 2009 Community Love In Motion Autism Event (Move ~ Groove ~ Give) on Saturday October 10. Over $1500 was raised for local autistic children. We moved, grooved and gave throughout the day, sharing our time, gifts and hearts. Thanks to all who came and contributed!
Love in Motion was an opportunity to support a local non-profit organization and in turn help families in our community affected by autism. To read about these local families and their cause, click on the following links:

A Mystical Night of Meditation & Transformation ~ Restore & Receive LIGHT, JOY & Higher Guidance
A 2-Part Workshop to Harmonize the Unconscious & Awaken Inner Potential***
Wednesday, March 31 at 7pm ~ $50
“The international problem today is not hunger, poverty, drugs or fear of war. It is tension, hypertension, total tension. If you know how to free yourself of tension, you know how to solve your problems in life.” ~ Swami Satyananda Saraswati
Yoga Nidra is a simple yet profound technique of relaxation which enables us to dive deep down into the realms of the subconscious mind, releasing and relaxing mental tensions, and establishing harmony in all facets of our being. Like the mythological phoenix, Yoga Nidra burns old habits and tendencies in order to be born anew.
Part I of the workshop will feature a guided session of Yoga Nidra, in which participants will experience deep release of tension, relaxation and peace of mind. Hands-on healing will be offered during the practice, which will gently stimulate the crown, third eye and heart chakras. While refreshments are being served, Dale will provide a one-on-one session with each participant, offering insights and clarity from her intuitive touch.
This remarkable combination of release and receptivity will tap into the mystical energy of your soul and open to your highest potential. It is the rarest and sweetest of gifts you can give to yourself. Experience deep release and gain powerful insights that can lead to all sorts of creative awakenings. The potential is there…let us help you tap into it!
***PLEASE RESERVE YOUR SPACE, AS THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE FOR A LIMITED NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS

Cheryl is honored to have author, meditation and consciousness trainor Judith Pennington of Eagle Life Communications here to awaken your minds and help lift you into your inner wisdom. In this workshop you will learn how to deepen your meditations, access the guiding wisdom of your subconscious soul, and train your brainwaves to peak states of clarity, creativity, insight, intuition and spiritual awareness ~ the characteristics of the awakened yoga masters. See a brainwave map of consciousness, the real-time brainwaves of a volunteer, and meditate for self-discovery and inner transformation.
A dynamic, effective teacher, Judith Pennington is known for her warmth, sensitivity, inclusiveness and ease in communicating complex ideas. Backing up principles with scientific findings, she draws from decades of personal experience, the wisdom of her soul, and 25 years of investigative research into body-mind healing, the psychodynamics of conflict, spiritual science and brain wave biofeedback research on meditation and the evolution of consciousness.
