Dreams are messages from the unconscious that help identify our fears and desires, and can even be prophetic. Learning to listen to our more subtle selves allows us to find peace and happiness in any circumstance.

Julie is a highly empathic and intuitive person who is very in tune with the body. She has decades of experience as a yoga teacher/student and is a certified karmic astrologer and angel healing practitioner.

OB/GYN Dr. Lissa Rankin
Thursday, October 14, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. Dr. Lissa Rankin: What's Up Down There?
What if your best friend was a gynecologist and you could talk candidly about every question you've ever had about gynecology, sex, and women's health, all while drinking a glass of wine and sharing a good laugh? My girlfriends actually get to indulge in that kind of intimacy, asking Lissa all the things they would never ask their doctors. In this age of managed care, most women get no more than ten minutes with their physicians, and a rushed doctor's visit leaves them feeling uncomfortable bringing up sensitive topics. Consequently, too few women truly understand the inner-workings of their own bodies, which leads to anxiety, shame, fear, guilt, and the perpetuation of misinformation. It doesn't have to be that way! Lissa will talk (frankly!) about her new book What's Up Down There? Questions You'd Only Ask Your Gynecologist If She Was Your Best Friend. See www.owningpink.com for more! Cost: Free

Daniel, one of the best illuminators of our time, is helping us replace the system. I look forward to his continued evolution and how it will help us all evolve.
