The Gathering Place. The Gathering Place is our home for an ongoing series of workshops, lectures and interactive events designed to teach, motivate and inspire. Workshops run from September through April, and are held primarily Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Unless indicated differently in our workshop schedule, the cost of each workshop is $25.00.
Angels Among Us Drop-In Circle. Come join with others to connect with your angels (Guardian and other) and develop tools to deepen your relationship with the angelic realm. Elizabeth will meditate before each session and bring specific messages, insights, conversations or meditations from the angels to the group. The group will then discuss the information, share stories and practice tuning into their own messages from their angels. In this trusting environment, open yourself up to experience the love, peace and comfort that comes from a true relationship with your Guardian and other angels. This drop-in circle is held on the first Thursday of each month and meets at 6:30 p.m.
Law of Attraction Circle. Join us on the second Thursday of each month to discuss the power of the Law of Attraction. You’ll meet and connect with other like-minded people and have a chance to share your experience as well as ask questions of our facilitator, Faith Curtis. There is no need to register and there is no charge for the circle. Just drop in whenever you can!
Laughter Drop-In Circle. Did you know that laughing lowers blood pressure, reduces stress hormones, increases muscle flexion, and boosts immune function? Laughter also triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, and produces a general sense of well-being. Join us on the third Thursday of every month at 6:30 p.m. for a fun and interactive session of Laughter Yoga with Mary Martin, certified Laughter Yoga instructor. (No charge)
NEW! Embracing Change Drop-In Circle (led by Iris Levenberg). Just like the passing of the seasons, changes in one’s life are inevitable and continuous. And while you cannot control many of the changes you face in your life, you can always control the way you think about them and your responses to them. Join us on the fourth Thursday of each month and learn specific tools that will enable you to embrace the personal and/or professional changes you face and how to reinvent, reshape and redirect yourself toward creating a life that truly serves you. There is no reason for any of us to accept “stuck”…delicious lemonade is just a thought away!

An Open Book. What could be better than finishing a really great book? How about gathering with others who have read the same book to share your reactions and ideas? We call our book group “An Open Book” for several reasons. First, it’s an open reading list, including both fiction and non-fiction and lots of different genres. Second, it’s an open invitation; you don’t have to make a committment to read every book we select. Finally, it’s an open discussion with a flexible schedule, so you don’t have to lock yourself into a specific date and time to meet about the book.
Each book has two meeting time options: one in the morning and one in the evening. You simply register for the one that fits your schedule best. We post the current title and meeting times on our “What’s Going On?” page and you can call the store to register for a discussion.
