Raise Your Vibration - Colby Wilk

February has been called the month of love, and it certainly was within our community. In week two, we had a deeply insightful conversation with Tamara Sutton. A powerful conversation that we all face challenges, some are bigger than others, it’s how we deal with those challenges that determines our potential for joy. Tamara has taken the grief and loss of losing her beloved son, walked through the darkness and pain, and has dedicated her life to helping others. She is certainly a beautiful example of how we can take the challenges of life and make them our strengths. Then, to round the month off, we had the irrepressible Sri Gawn Tu Fahr, with an amazing, community conversation about the depth, strength and insight that is available when we connect with the Universe through our soul. Raven led us in an awesome Divine Imagination that really touched our listeners. We had a few listeners share with us their experience, which was a really beautiful sharing. Tonight, we are going to have another community fireside chat with you our listeners. Join us as we reflect on the wonderful guests we have had in February, and what you gained from our discussions.

Cultivating Compassion: How to deeply love, honor and respect yourself and others We treat people like we treat ourselves. When we are kind and gentle with ourselves, learning from our mistakes and moving forward and our self-talk is kind, then we are also able to remember our connection with others and treat them with the same compassion. What are ways we can cultivate compassion in ourselves and for the world? What are ways we can come from gratitude, even the rough times? How can we come from Love vs. Fear? Catherine will give us techniques to implement immediately to these ends and lead us in a meditation. Catherine DeMonte is a Marriage, Family, Child Therapist in Beverly Hills & Calabasas, CA. Her primary goal for her clients is to help them live full, authentic, satisfying lives. One way to do that is to appreciate the beauty in life, as well as turning the rough spots into lessons. The tough things are they ways in which we can see what needs tending to and where wounds are. When wounds are healed, Catherine believes we feel freer and happier and less triggered in life. Her unique blend of spirituality and psychology helps clients understand the bigger picture of why things happen in their life and not feel victimized by them. She is equal parts empathic listener and proactive teacher in her therapy, giving clients tools to use immediately to resolve the conflicts in their relationships, families and lives.

Using Neurosculpting® to Rewrite our Stories and Beliefs

Love is our innate nature - to feel lovable, and to give and receive love with ease and confidence. The stunning divorce rate of over 50% of marriages, with another high percentage that is highly unsatisfied in their relationships, reveals most people don't know how to love. Carista Luminare will explain the latest neuroscience research on attachment styles, and show how our early attachment styles in childhood profoundly affect our adult intimacy bonding patterns. There are 5 Keys to understanding love and creating the relationship you want: 1) Learn how your "relationship attachment style" drives you to behave the way you do 2) Learn how your partner's attachment style interacts with yours - and sabotages your relationship 3) Learn how to use the 3 non-verbal "Love Languages" to cut through arguments and problems 4) Engage in partner practices that deepen your security and amplify your passion 5) Discover how to disrupt destructive patterns and create the deep, loving bond you've always wanted Making your relationship work isn't rocket science. It's neurology! When you were a child, your experience with your parents programmed your adult relationship dynamics. But you’re not stuck with those patterns. With awareness and practice, you can swiftly re-wire your body, mind and heart so you can have the relationship you want. If you’re unhappy in your relationship, or you have a string of unsuccessful attempts, you can turn it around and enjoy a happy and fulfilling bond with your partner - but only if you have the keys in your hand. Learn the latest discoveries from neuroscience about the science of early childhood bonding, and specific practices that will re-secure your love bond, and expand your ability to be intimate -- whether you are in a relationship or not at this time.

The times are changing and it can be scary, an astrological map of this time can help us understand what’s happening, and help us work with the times more comfortably. We’re right in the middle of a bridge made of metamorphic transits that transports us away from the pre-2008 era towards a new era that coalesces around 2015. Uranus squares Pluto seven times, seven beats of its drum, between 2012 and 2015 (6/12, 9/12, 5/13, 11/13, 4/14, 12/, and 3/15) leading us through a bardo-like in-between time, shifting the ground underneath us. And this year a Saturn/ Neptune trine reminds us never to lose our way to the well of our memories, spirit, and vision. It’s not time to sweat the details. Instead we need to constantly clarify our internal goals and use those as guideposts when opportunity and challenge arise. It is time to stay on track, stay in the heart, and guide the metamorphosis. Come walk with us through the map of the major astrological aspects of the year and explore how to roll with the changes. Heather came of age as an astrological counselor in the 70’s and 80’s; she worked with Human Dimensions Family therapists in a supervised team working with multiple generations. She moved to New Mexico in the late 1980’s to walk a friend through her last few months , and fell in love with the landscape, spiritual presence, and the vibrant astrological community. Her practice thrived and she was voted Santa Fe’s best astrologer in the late 90’s. Heather moved to NYC in 2001, a few weeks before 9-11, in response to a series of dreams and a call for her mate’s work. There was so much ambient pain and searching angst she wanted to search for more tools to offer her clients and so went back into an Interfaith seminary. After 6 years the couple longed for the wilds again and moved to North Dakota to teach at a tribal college, and learned far more than they taught. They moved to the twin cities in 2009.

What are the truths and what are the myths about 2012 and the Mayan doctrine. Join us as we explore this very timely topic.When Carol Parish Harra, Ph.D. nearly died at the age of 23, she awoke knowing she was not the same person. She would discover gradually the meaning of "soul exchange." Since that event, Carol's life as a spiritual leader and teacher has been a shining example of the walk-in phenomenon - an example of using guidance to direct one's life which includes the founding of a community and school for spiritual studies. Author Ruth Montgomery has written about her and others of this experience as benevolent, enlightened messengers and first coined the term "walk-in", in her book.Dr. Parrish was awarded the prestigious Earl Award for Religious Futurists in 1998 for "exceptionable achievement in the field of religious futures activities", She is an internationally renowned speaker, author, intuitive and teacher who relays messages of hope about the future of the planet. She will be enlightening us on The Shift of 2012, the Mayans and the coming Age, sharing a message of love, hope and Grace for the world to come.We will be discussing:* How she came into the metaphysical/esoteric genre in 1958 ~ through Near Death Experience* Her "Walk-In" ~ experience* How she came to study the Mayans* What the Mayan's say/teach about 2012* Prophecy of 2012- lifestyle change and resource appreciation* Carol will give Practical Principals and Suggestions for those beginning to awaken on their path....* Begin to look for and ask:- What is the Blessing...- What is the gift...- What is the challenge...- How may I serve....
