If you have Spring Fever and are looking for something to get you off the couch and out of the house — here are just a few little suggestions from the list of events happening at HBS in April. Cause there’s more coming up here than just Deb’s tulips!
We have our first ever Aura Photographer Weekend at HBS! Charles Drummond, from Sedona, AZ, will be taking aura photos Sat & Sun, April 16 &17. ($35 per photo/ indiv or couple). Walk-ins are welcome, but if you have limited time to hang around, you’ll want to call ahead and reserve a spot. That’s a busy weekend all round, because we also have Tarot Reading by Grant McPeetie from 12-2 and Jewelry-Making (bracelets & bangles!) on that Sat (2:30-5:30), then on Sun is another Essential Oils Workshop with Connie Jacoby of Wise Women Botanicals (1-3).
And every Saturday morning at 10:30 we have an open “Coffee & Conversation” gathering. We provide the coffee (and herbal tea if that’s your preference), the topic, and a discussion facilitator and you all provide the conversation! Still to come this month, we have Relationships, led by Raven Bren, on Sat April 9 (and who doesn’t have lessons learned in THAT topic?!?); The Divine Feminine, led by Nancy Tanner-Thies on the 16th, and The Energy of Words, led by Rachel Sparks on the 23rd. We close the month out on April 30 with The Art of Ascension facilitated by folks from Ishaya Worldwide. No charge to attend any or all — though if you want to throw a little in the Love Offering bowl to help cover the cost of the treats, it’s always appreciated.
New workshops this month include Manifesting Desires on Sat, the 9th (1-3; $10) w/ Raven Bren — which will involve both figuring out WHAT you desire (no small task that), and then the ‘how-you-get-there’ piece; followed by two Saturdays focused on the Top 12 Messages from Your Body, w/ Cherie Doyen (4/23 & 4/30, 10:30-6:30 each day). You can attend either day as a solo event for $39 or catch both for a package deal of $69. And we have the start of a new monthly series on The Divine Feminine, facilitated by Nancy Tanner-Thies & Cat Kelly that kicks off on Wed, 4/27 (6:30-8). This series will discuss the many stages of womanhood that fall within the broader Maiden, Mother, Matriarch, & Crone labels — from Daughter to Amazon, Priestess to Dark Mother — and explore working with goddesses that embody the associated energies and life lessons of those stages. $15 per class or $100 for the entire series which runs thru October and concludes with a day-long Goddess Retreat at the Sapattu Retreat outside of Jefferson City. And we close out the month on April 30 with a workshop on Making Fairy Gardens (1-3) w/Deb Carney & Paula Curry.
In the ‘workshops-back-by-popular-demand” category, we have two repeat special events this month: Intro to EFT by Kelly Howe, teaching the powerful Emotional Freedom Technique of Tapping (Sun, 4/24 2-4 pm at just $20) and Wand Work w/ Jeff Scott (4/26 6:30-7:30, $10). For practitioners of many earth-based spiritual traditions that utilize wands in intention-setting, healing, protection, and ritual work, this is a great opportunity to learn about the gathering, creation, and uses of wands from many natural woods.
And some regular awesomeness you can catch includes: Women’s New Moon Drumming Circle (Fri 4/8 6:30-8), Exploring the Tao Discussion Group (Sun 4/10 & 4/24, 2-4), Hearthfires Pagan Meet-up (Tues 4/12 6:30-8), the Ayilla Link-up (Wed 4/13, 6:30-8), Yoga Nidra (Thurs 4/14), Open Reiki Share for Reiki practitioners (Wed 4/20 6:30-8). And yes, the ongoing book clubs will meet this month as well: Goddesses Never Age (4/14 & 4/28, 1:30-3) and Fire-Starter Sessions (4/7 & 4/21, 1:30 -3); and the Spirit-Seekers Discussion Group will hold the last meeting of this series on 4/10 (4:30-6), not to mention the fab ongoing Tai Chi classes you can catch every Tues & Wed (5 pm) & Thurs (10:30 am).
Last, but certainly not least, if you’re interested in a reading for some extra guidance this month, we’ve got you covered:
Tarot Readings w/ Rexanna Ipock-Brown, Sat 4/9 (10-2) & Tues 4/19 (4-8)
Tarot Readings w/ Grant McPeetie, Sun 4/10 (1-6), Sat 4/16 (12-2) & Sun 4/24 (4-6)
Psychic Readings or Past-Life Regressions w/ Paula Curry, Wed 4/20 (4-8)
(Be sure to call for an appointment though — these guys fill up fast!)
So that’s it. No more “there’s nothing to do” whiny days! (Yeah, sorry about that. Or not.)
