Accessing Our Inner Wisdom

A one-day workshop will teach a way to access your inner wisdom by learning a seven-step process that you will be able to use on your own. Mary Magdalena has successfully used this process with counseling clients for over 20 years. When we feel blocked, stuck, fear, or lack of joy, we can stop, sit and apply this process. You will be amazed at how simple yet how profound it can be in getting us back in touch with our inner wisdom. Sunday, January 17, 1p.m. to 4:30 p.m.; $40.

Adult Painting Classes at the Hygiene Farm

Mary Magdalena offers painting for adults who want to express their creativity! No skills needed, just the willingness to show up and let what is inside out and have a good time. Those who are more advanced come to learn more in-depth skills too. We paint a canvas with acrylic as a background; while it is drying we do a centering meditation to get ourselves into our hearts. We then move into oil paints. It is truly amazing what happens here in these five hours. $50.  All supplies included. January 16 or 24 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Meditation Class
