YOUR BIRTH CHART IS YOUR SACRED CONTRACT
Astrology Class
With Sandra Jennings
Third Friday of the month for 6 months
Beginning Friday, February 15th
7:00 to 9:00 PM in the Social Hall
Cost $30 per Class Meeting

Your Birth Chart is your handbook, your owner’s manual, describing the possibilities you chose while in the Spirit prior to your present incarnation. It is literally your Sacred Contract with yourself. In a series of 6 classes, I’ll share all the details of your birth chart, explain its elements and how they apply to your life.  By the end of the series, you’ll be able to read your chart and will have received a complete Birth Chart interpretation. Printed material accompanies each class. I need your correct birth date, place and time, prior to class to provide your chart and prepare your individual reading for EACH CLASS.  No book purchase is necessary, but I will have a notebook that includes an index of terms for a suggested price of $15.

SPIRITUAL FITNESS
Certificated Science of Mind® Class: Elective Coursework
With Robin Backstrom, RScP
Tuesdays, June 4 to July 23, 2019
9:00 to 11:30 AM, in the Social Hall
$105 by Sunday, May 19th; $125 Thereafter + Optional $20 Certificate Fee

Spiritual fitness is a lifestyle and an attitude that can help you rediscover the real meaning and sacredness of your life. Like physical fitness, it is not a one-time experience - it needs your ongoing commitment. To stay spiritually fit means living in truth and trust, i.e., being yourself at the deepest level in everything you do and bringing all of you to your life experiences. It also means trusting that there is a greater power constantly guiding you and inviting you, through your life experiences, to live more openly and lovingly. When we trust, we start to make our choices and decisions from a place of love and courage instead of from fear. This in turn gives us clarity and strength. This class is 8 weeks long.

Session IV for beginners requires completion of one or more previous sessions or basic watercolor introduction. Emphasis in this six-week class will be placed on producing simple compositions in landscape with further development of painting skills, applying value and color schemes, placement of light and shadow, and rules of creating depth and perspective. Personal assistance, reference materials and handouts are provided, along with demonstrations for students to assist in creating fresh and spontaneous landscapes.

THE TAO OF WATERCOLOR
PAINTING THE SACRED LANDSCAPE IN WATERCOLOR
Non-Certificated Class with Sharion Windom
Wednesdays, August 14th to September 18th
10:00 AM to 12:30 PM OR 2:00 to 4:30 PM, in the Social Hall
$140 per Person in Advance or $25 per Person per Class Meeting
Minimum of 4 Students—Maximum of 10 Students

This session requires basic knowledge of watercolor technique. The whole living Earth is sacred. We visit certain places upon the Earth because we feel called to be there, drawn to sit with the murmuring lakes and streams, hear the mysterious whispers of the forest groves, view the exhilarating wonder of mountain peaks or the purity of desert solitude with the expansiveness of mesa and stone risings. We identify with a particular place at a given time because we correspond to a quality of the heart energy of the place—a sort of resonance occurs. In this six-week class, we will explore inwardly the places of our deep connection through a selection of landscape photographs. Acknowledging our preferences, we will render our responses in watercolor paintings. Students are encouraged to bring their own photographs and reference materials will be provided. Students are also encouraged to meditate upon and visit, when possible, their own Earth temples—landscape structures they are sensitive to—places where a particular quality of tenderness, inspiration and protection entered her/his heart. Inspirational guidance is provided by the philosophical framework of the Tao Te Ching, The Sacred Landscape and from others sharing their creative journey. Early registration is recommended. For other questions, please contact the instructor at shariwindom@yahoo.com. Download the flyer.
