The real essence of Astrology is in understanding the aspects in relationship to the Twelve Signs, Houses and Planets. Anyone can do the math, but few know how to interpret the many planetary aspects in any given chart.

Each class includes Greg’s book “Keys to Freedom and Harmony---Through Your Astrological Aspects” as well as your own astrology chart.

Jeff Wein is a multi-talented Gemini (Pisces rising, Libra moon), an adult child of the sixties whose explorations of consciousness led him to the ecstatic possibilities of physical intimacy. Jeff has studied Tantra with three of the best-known American masters, and has drawn on these and other sources to create the unique approach and content of « the Loving Spirit » workshop.  Jeff has lead personal growth workshops in three languages on four continents over the last fifteen years.

A childhood spent in beatnik circles and a nomadic existence in Europe, the United States, and the south Pacific, followed by art school (right-brain) did little to prepare Géralde Carpentier  [Libra, Scorpio rising, moon in Aquarius] for a twenty-five year career as a corporate executive (left-brain). The common thread in her rich and tumultuous life is her passion for that extraordinary experience we call Life, for personal growth, and for a connection with powerful subtle energies, passions that led her to Tantra.

Together they lead « the Loving Spirit » workshop, a transformational experience for couples who want to create deeper, richer, more intimate relationships.  Over the course of three full days, Jeff and Geraldine teach dozens of techniques, exercises, and activities that help couples overcome disharmony in order to create relationships where true intimacy (physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual) is the goal and the outcome.  Over the past ten years, primarily in Europe, « the Loving Spirit » workshop has helped hundred of couples rekindle love and respect in their relationships. 

In the winter of 2009 and the spring of 2010, « the Loving Spirit » workshop will make its American debut.  Jeff also leads « letters of fire », the Hebrew letters and the Kabbalah, a personal growth workshop that explores an ancient mystical tradition with the intent of relating age-old wisdom to the challenges of life in the 21st century.

Jim has two doctoral degrees and years of clinical experience to bring his clients to the place of optimal health.  He works under the principal that when specific nutritional deficiencies are corrected, the body will begin to heal itself.  Jim utilizes Nutritional Response Testing, Whole Food Supplementation, Herbs and Homeopathic Remedies along with other Alternative Health Care Methods to lead his clients towards a healthier, happier, and improved quality of life. He will help you to see beyond the nutritional myths and will provide you with a plan for appropriate food intake.  You will be put on the path to a better quality of health with essential whole food nutritional support which goes beyond your daily food intake.

Many Americans fall into the category referred to by Jim as the "functionally ill" which is described by Jim as those individuals who follow no particular food guidelines.  We simply eat what is considered to be the Standard American Diet.  Our habitual style of food consumption leads us into a slow and progressive decline in our health status and degenerative diseases. 

TV advertises countless prescription solutions for health related disorders.  Marketers encourage the use of drugs for pain and arthritic problems, acid indigestion or reflux conditions, elevated cholesterol and inflammation.  We see numerous commercials hosted by celebrities promoting weight loss products, digestive aids and more. Millions of dollars are spent on marketing these substances, because, as Americans, we eat the Standard American Diet and as a result, we have health issues.  We take drugs to mask our nutritional deficiencies which are expressed as symptoms. 

Fat is an essential body building block yet, in the media, we are exposed to statements about the need for fat restrictions and fat free foods. In the meantime, we watch America getting fatter and less healthy with more lives suffering from stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes and other degenerative diseases.    Natural or Alternative Health Care has long understood that “Good Nutrition Equals Great Health".  Given the proper raw materials, our body has the innate capability to heal itself.

The Well Lived Life.

The Artist's Way.

Lisa Bruder's journey to becoming a Reality Hacker began like a strange and wonderful fairytale.  After being powerfully drawn to the artwork on a video game box, Lisa found herself "falling in" to a strange world that was supposed to only exist as entertainment. The 4-day event was so powerful and bizarre that it could not be ignored.  This led to many years of observation and research as well as informal training in quantum physics, virtual reality and Holographic Theory.  The result is Reality Hacking, which is now being shaped into a tool for "superintention" where a single talented person can ripple out strong physical changes inside of our reality.

Reality Hacking is a type of "intention on steroids" that can be used to create powerful random changes throughout the world.  Reality Hacking takes sumptuous parallel worlds, overlaps them onto our own and then leaks them through.  The result of "leaking" a positive world is a powerful and random Butterfly Effect that ripples lovely visible changes into our reality while wrapping you in liquid warmth.   Reality Hacking is much less focused on outcome than traditional intention experiments but the physical results are far more pronounced.  And unlike the current intention groups, this requires only one skilled person to make it happen. Reality Hacking is an excellent tandem activity to groups who use intention to heal the world as well as the individual who has an explorer's heart.

Nancy Yeager is teaching and starting classes at the Enlightened Path Center in Palm Desert in creative writing, journaling and poetry.  Nancy shows you how the creative process heals and leads to a connection with the higher self though essential expression, self actualization, insight and clarity.  The exploration of poetry and literature discloses the universal nature of our journey and can expand our perception of it which yields a broader, more compassionate worldview. 

Before moving to the desert, Nancy spent 11 years teaching secondary English and gifted students in Pennsylvania.  Raised in a large family on ample doses of chaos and love, she learned early in life that sharing and communication are essential skills and has been voraciously reading and writing ever since.  Although Nancy often chooses the solace of the fictional realm, she often looks to the Tao Te Ching, Toltec Wisdom, and great writers and poets to keep her on the right path. 

Nancy has been selected to Who's Who Among American Women, Who's Who Among American teachers and National Honor Roll's Outstanding American Teachers.  She lives in La Quinta and sustains herself on a diet infused with large doses of sunshine, tea, dark chocolate and poetry.  She has also published prize writing fiction/poetry since 1972 and assisted students in the publication of their own work, including three books of poetry.
