Join idiomART’s CCC Spanish Conversation Club every last Wednesday of the month to practice Spanish in a natural environment with other people who are learning the language as well. This is a great chance to practice Spanish and meet new people.

If you are not enrolled in our Spanish program, the cost is only $5 and we encourage you to please order something to support the restaurant as well. They have delicious food and drink!

The values of the I Ching – Book of Changes – no cost intro

Are you interested in learning more about the I Ching, and how it can guide you through life?

We will have some copies of the book for sale, you can also get it on kindle or as an app.

April 27th and 28th we are offering a no cost introduction to “The Values of the I Ching, Study Group”. After the intro we will meet Tues, Wed and Thurs every week. Intro and the meetings are 11:30 AM – 12:15 PM.

“No community can survive without a dependable source of pure water. In a similar way, human beings cannot survive without a reliable source of spiritual nourishment. In fact, we need two wells: an external source of guidance, such as the I Ching, and an internal source of guidance, which must be our own good character …

It will (the I Ching), if you are sincere, reveal to you the fundamental issues of your life, and it will instill in you the values necessary to successfully negotiate those issues.”

The I Ching or Book of Changes is said to be the oldest of the Chinese Classics. It has been used for thousands of years by people from all classes, as a guidance for life’s ups and downs.

The I Ching contains the foundation of Chinese Philosophy and Taoist Wisdom.

In these meetings, we will gather to support each other in our understanding of the I Ching, it’s values and their significance to our everyday life.

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

TFT tapping – Thought Field Therapy – workshop

TFT Tapping workshop (Thought Field Therapy) – basic points and sequences.

Have you ever wondered why certain situations keep bringing up emotional distress in your life?

Would you like to have a tool to easily melt away any tension, negative thinking and emotional turmoil?

During the 1980s, Dr. Roger Callahan created an extremely effective technique to eradicate emotional and mental issues at their roots.

The result of his studies is the TFT (Thought Field Therapy) tapping technique.
TFT merges the Chinese Meridian System with kinesiology and modern psychology.

By simply tapping on specific points of your body, you can free your system from disempowering thoughts, emotions and physical pain.

Join us in this workshop to learn some of the basic Sequences and points.
Among the many benefits of TFT, you can find relief from:

Anxiety, overthinking, stress
Phobias and fear
Depression, sadness, pain
Cravings, obsessive thoughts
Negative and limiting beliefs
etc.

You will be guided by a Certified TFT practitioner.

Included with the workshop you will receive a useful manual with instructions on how and when to use basic TFT Points and Sequences in your daily life as well as how to effectively identify your emotional imbalances.

Limited spaces. Book and pay ahead to reserve your seat.

We look forward to seeing you.
