CORNERSTONES FOR MEN - FOUNDATIONAL TOOLS FOR YOUR SPIRITUAL FREEDOM
Saturday, Nov. 12 from 9:00-6:30 at the Solstice Institute, Big room. - Cornerstones "New Foundation: One-Day Course Discover âo[ogonek]Cornerstonesâo[caron] for Men and you will discover a path to your own unique "Calling" in life! Every man has developed a set of "foundational" values that he draws upon to live life the best he can. How these values develop; the type of environment they develop in, and whether they have developed consciously, or unconsciously, often produces internal conflicts that undermine a man's ability to lead and create a life that feels both joyful and deeply purposeful. Cornerstones for Men has developed two powerful life-changing courses that illuminate and experientially explore four key "Energies" or "Modes of Being", that are common to every man's most vital values and actions: Purpose - Presence - Power - Passion. These energies emerge in varying degrees within each of us. Through the Cornerstones courses, each man will have a personal opportunity to view the difference between how he wants to live his life and how he is actually living his life. Most importantly, a man will discover how he can finally break free from any emotional and spiritual "survival-based" living and shift away from fear, shame, and hopelessness to a life full of inspiration, love, and service! Each Cornerstones Course is lead by a professional facilitator with years of experience in personal growth work âo[base "] centered primarily on men. Most groups have fifteen to twenty men from all walks of life who form a respectful circle of brothers helping each other through the discovery process.

SENSUAL TOUCH FOR COUPLES
The human body longs for touch, yet as lovers we don[base ']t take the time to honor and explore the infinite beauty of our lover[base ']s sacred body. Sufficient time and attention is rarely given to creating a sacred ceremony of connection for our lovemaking.
In this fun Playshop you will learn and practice how to: Set the mood for a sensual touch experience, increase your sensitivities and pleasure, provide feedback to your lover, use a feather to make your lover tingle, and move energy to increase aliveness and connection.
Please bring a blanket/pillow, and wear shorts and top or bathing suit. You will practice on your lover[base ']s legs, arms, neck and back (no nudity).
Saturday, August 6, 7:15-10:00 PM, Solstice Institute

Plus two healing clinics/month.
(2nd & 4th Wednesday's of the month at the Solstice Institute, 302 Pearl.)
Prerequisite: Completed or currently taking graduate level classes at a BPI-Style Clairvoyant Program. Cost:$2000 for the year commitment.
Program Description
In this program you will be exploring your spiritual gift of Trance Mediumship. You will find empowerment and effortlessness in a space often misunderstood or feared. This year-long Trance Medium Training Program will help you navigate the range of energy called white; whereas the Clairvoyant Training Program explores the crown chakra vibrations from brown to gold. If you have 300 levels between brown and gold, then you have 300 levels of white. We then divide the 300 levels of white into thirds: the first third we call healing; the middle third we call teaching; and the upper third we refer to as control. Most [base "]channelers[per thou] are working the middle third. The object of this curriculum is not so much to channel a being, but rather to have your awareness "in or out of your body.[per thou] White has been what we generally talk about when we use the word unconscious, yet it is also where we dream. What controls this dream space in your universe? Much of the trance medium work we will do is to remove the controls on our dream space; our ability to ask our own questions and to get our own answers. You will ultimately gain a whole new level of certainty and seniority in this Trance Medium Training Program.
Come Join this Exciting Year-Long Program

A digital video camera will be provided for the class, and Michael will demonstrate how it works, highlighting in-camera editing and other techniques for both hand-held and fluid-head tripod shots. After a breakâo[per thou]itâo[dot accent]s lights, camera, action, and production starts! A professional lighting kit will be available, and you will learn the fundamentals of utilizing both natural and artificial light.

Make a Short Film - a one day intensive class, taught by Michael Conti.
In just one day, students will create a short film using in-camera editing, practicing learning by doing. This intensive workshop will take you from script to screen, using the same tools that big-time Hollywood directors have used for decades. Director Michael Conti will provide a screenplay drafted with the idea of finishing it into a shooting script in class. From there you will devise a shot list, a storyboard, and a shooting schedule based upon in-camera editing. A digital video camera will be provided for the class, and Michael will demonstrate how it works, highlighting in-camera editing and other techniques for both hand-held and fluid-head tripod shots. After a break[~]it[base ']s lights, camera, action, and production starts! A professional lighting kit will be available, and you will learn the fundamentals of utilizing both natural and artificial light. Everyone will get to try out several roles, including directing, acting, lighting, and shooting. Then, invite friends and family to view the completed short film that same evening.
