HELP US HELP A FRIEND
 Spectrum Center, The Path of Tea, Lucia’s Garden and Body, Mind & Soul have joined together to help our friend, Ed Sabo, publisher of the very fine Natural Awakenings magazine. Ed is in treatment at MD Anderson and is in need of donations of blood and platelets. MD Anderson has asked us to find 40 donors and I believe we can do this! We may even turn up MORE lovely, open-hearted donors to help this very loving and deserving friend. Ed has tirelessly given to our healing arts community. We have the opportunity to give back in a way that is truly life-giving. Mark your calendar for Monday, September 13. Please contact me and let me know that you will roll up your sleeve and be a donor. You must be officially placed on the reservation list to donate. Contact me at rosa235@earthlink.net. If you would rather to do this at MD Anderson, Ed’s patient ID is 843632.

Ritual is a universal language that brings substance, meaning and peace to our lives. It is important to honor the significant moments in our lives: both happy and challenging. Whether you are releasing fear, bringing deeper meaning to a family or community gathering or celebrating an important event, rituals can enhance daily routines, enrich milestones, and guide us through difficult transitions.
Do you want more peace in your life? Are you going through a transition period? Are you facing a challenge? Do you feel stuck in your business or personal life?
Ritual is the cornerstone of not only religious tradition, but also of our daily lives. It brings us back to ourselves, to our center and to the Divine. This in turn helps us create lives of peace, honor, joy and abundance.
Learn:
- How to incorporate Ritual into your everyday life without effort
- How to create your own Ritual
- About the elements of Ritual
- When you should use Ritual

Landscape and Setting in Prose

1–6 p.m.
$90

What would any powerful story be without its landscape? What if Lawrence of Arabia had been set in Iceland? What if Hogwarts school was in an abandoned barn instead of a castle? What if The Da Vinci Code had played out in Nebraska instead of France? The perfect setting is integral to every great story. We will investigate the locations where our stories, novels and memoirs are set. We will discuss how setting can be used to frame a story and we will practice the art of creating unique, detailed descriptions that bring those places alive in both narrative and scene.
To register call or email Rosa Glenn Reilly at: 713.840.8957 ext 1 or rosa235@earthlink.net.

Walking and Talking:
Character and Dialogue in Prose
Max Regan, MFA
Sunday, September 19
1–6 p.m.
$90
|
|
In any great novel, memoir or story, the text is populated with vibrant, unique characters. As writers, we create these characters based on people we know, people we imagine, and combinations between the two. Exciting characters have their own lives, histories, speech patterns, desires and fears, and they interact with one another in a way that is compelling and believable. Together we will examine what makes great heroes, villains and minor characters, and invent some of our own. We will practice writing the physical description, gestures, monologue and dialogue that brings each of our characters to life.
To register call or email Rosa Glenn Reilly at: 713.840.8957 ext 1 or rosa235@earthlink.net.

The Oneness Blessing

The Oneness Blessing, also known as Deeksha, is available to you on Tuesdays evenings at 7:00 p.m by donation. This Blessing is a direct transfer of intelligent energy which causes the heart to open, heals relationships, quiets the chatter of the mind, opens the doors to higher states of awareness and initiates a process of Awakening into Oneness where there is no longer a sense of separateness. Experienced practitioners give the Oneness Blessing by placing their hand on the recipient’s head for a minute or so. The effects are cumulative, and through the Oneness Blessing the recipient experiences higher qualities of love, unity, joy, silence, and Oneness. Whatever path of spiritual awakening you are on will be supported. This gift is for all of us, no matter our belief systems.
