Creating & Manifesting - Energetic Mock-Up's
Abundance and Prosperity, Peace of Mind, Balance. You deserve these things. Energetic Mock-Up' can help you to bring more of what you need into your life. A Mock-Up represents your ability to define what you want, work with it energetically, and have what you want come back to you - easily and effortlessly. You can use this technique to find parking, buy new shoes, get a new job, grow your business, etc... It's similar to goal setting, but it works.
Here's what people are saying about the power of Mock-Ups: "I was used to setting goals, but I never worked the energy around the goals. This technique has brought me results so much faster. Within one month, I went from having two attendees at my workshops to 12, without additional advertisement! If you work the steps, it really works!" Joan C.
"Using mock ups has been the single most important tool that I have used to build my business. I teach it to all my clients as well!" Alice M.
If you want to grow or create a healing practice/business and would like to employ energetic techniques along with your existing proven healing and business skills this would be a great workshop to attend. If you have so many goals and dreams and no way to determine the most viable or prioritize them, this workshop will give you a proven method for dealing with this issue. If you find yourself setting goals and then not following through - Mock-Up's can help you to achieve your heart's desire.
Please call the Center to find out when the next Creating & Manifesting (Energetic Mock-Up's) Workshop will take place. Cost for this workshop is $25 - 35. |

The Enlightened Entrepreneur Program (Manifesting in the New Age)
Starting and building a successful business can be... A Great Adventure Exhilarating, Challenging, Stressful Lonely, Freeing, Time Consuming Rewarding and much, much more! Having worked in Corporate America for over 16 years for Fortune 50 companies to start up companies within the dot.com era one thing has become apparent. Business has been and continues to greatly change, even more so since 9/11. Formulas and Business Plans that worked in the past no longer work in today's environment.
One of the greatest challenges within the Alternative Health and Wellness communities and self-employed entrepreneurs is finding the balance between love & healing and profits & self-care. With over 15 years of Personal Development Teaching and Leadership experience within these communities I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise in balancing all of the above.
The Enlightened Entrepreneur Program is designed to: Support you during this exciting time in your life Give you a greater understanding what clients and customers are looking for in this new era Provide you with valuable energetic/spiritual tools to get your business off the ground Help you to identify weaknesses and capitalize on your strengths Develop new ways to network, manage your time and resources And most importantly, connect with like-minded people who will inspire and encourage you in your endeavors!
The Program Curriculum includes the following:
Introduction of yourself, 2005 Goals/Intentions and 2 to 3 Year Goals/Intentions, we will go around and introduce ourselves, explain the nature of your business/philosophy/purpose, along with your Goals and Intentions. This can be short about 3 minutes or so will be great!
A Weekly Topic: For instance "Creating Your Mission Statement", followed by Class Lecture and Break-out Working Sessions Individually and in Pairs, Group Sharing and on-going monitoring of the individual participants successes and challenges with each weekly topic. This results in an accelerated growth and learning process.
A Weekly Tool or Technique: Each Week I will offer a new tool or technique to assist the Entrepreneur in Creating and Manifesting within their business and their life!
Setting your Monthly Goal/Intention: There is great power in stating your intentions! Each participant will set a goal or intention that they will accomplish each month within the program. They can then use the group to help motivate them in their forward movement and accountability towards their goals.
New Program session forming now. Cost for the 4 week program is $175. Please call for information on when this Program will start, we anticipate that the program will kick off in July. |
