NEW! Love Your Body: A 30 Day Journaling and Discussion Group
Most of us have lingering concerns about our bodies and/or health from years of media hype and yo-yo dieting. Fear tactics designed to motivate us to make changes in our weight or size left many women (and men) with negative feelings about their bodies. Many believed that by hating our current body shape/size, we would change it; but, what we learned was that body loathing only led to short-term behavior changes. And, we also learned that improved self care and increased self appreciation is what really leads to lifestyle changes that produce long-term, positive results. Our new Love Your Body 30-day journaling and online discussion group (optional) is designed to connect with the positive aspects of self care and self appreciation. It employs affirmations and journal writing to promote body acceptance and enhanced self care. Re-orienting your feelings about your body at holiday time will make meals and celebrations even more enjoyable. We will launch two LYB journaling groups, one on November 1 and November 15. E-mail for details and include the start date that you prefer to begin receiving the journal descriptions and questions.

Financial Freedom and Abundance
Getting Your Stuff! Making it Happen with Law of Attraction
In this course, we will focus on manifesting spiritual abundance. We experience true wealth not just in terms of money but also from our sense of health, purpose, beauty, joy and service. We experience abundance when all parts of our being—physical, emotional, mental and spiritual—are in harmony and alignment. We will look at manifesting abundance as a way of life, as a way of being, as a high level of consciousness.
What is manifesting? Manifestation occurs when our dreams, visions, goals, purpose and essence become real on the physical plane. It’s the act of fashioning something potential into something real. To manifest money, we use the same principles we apply to manifest anything in our world, whether it be a new car, relationship, job, health, wealth or happiness.

Caterpillars: A Discussion Group - Joan Hardy Eison (New Group Begins October 5, 2006)
We have always been in transition - it's the way life evolves. Historically, old world families began with an act of migration - coming to the new world. The act of migration did not finalize the transition; rather, it began it. Arriving on new shores initiated a continuing movement from new location to new job to new culture, drawn forward by the faith that better things lay just beyond the horizon. Although the outward appearance of the transition was appealing, even exciting, the inward one may not have been so comfortable. Waking up to the impact of day-to-day lifestyle changes may have been as startling as it was to the caterpillar in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
In our transitions discussion group, we will explore the similarities and differences of the three phases of transition: (1) an ending, followed by (2) a period of confusion and distress leading to (3) a new beginning. And, like Alice's caterpillar, we will seek a new vision and enjoyment of who we are now. Joan Eison is the group facilitator for this discussion group. Joan is a wise mentor whose talents include writing, coaching and training, among others. Email for details of the Fall 06 session.

Becoming Your Authentic Self - Self Study Email Course
Few people clearly know their life purpose, let alone live it. Yet most people are doing some aspect of their life purpose even though they are not aware of it. Our purpose seems elusive because we are so close to it. It is so much a part of our being that we cannot see it clearly. It’s also elusive because our purpose is spiritual, not material, and as a result, cannot be seen or touched or measured. As we grow, as we watch our lives unfold, our clarity of purpose grows with us.
It’s easy to get sidetracked off of our personal pathway. Too often, we do things based on our past and not on what we are drawn toward. We react and think in old patterns and miss many new ways of experiencing life. We do things for others and not for ourselves. We stay within our comfort zone of mediocrity and never truly explore our unlimited potential. When we’re not actively working our life purpose, we experience life as more of a struggle.
The more we align with our essence and our value system, even if we’re not aware we’re doing so, the more our life begins to flow. Our experience of life becomes both more enjoyable and more meaningful. As we connect more consciously and fully with our purpose, we have more focus, energy, abundance, awareness and compassion. And each of these qualities supports us in further fulfilling that purpose. Getting clear on our purpose is truly empowering. Begin your journey in this course to becoming who you were!

Breakthroughs: Moving Beyond Blocks to Wholeness - Self Study Email Course
The wisdom of the ages suggests that our challenge as human beings is to become conscious of what is now unconscious in us. Our life journey is to explore those parts of our nature that are presently hidden from us so we may express ourselves more genuinely. We need to become acquainted with our shadow side, the dark and unknown parts of our psyche that we have not yet owned. We also need to meet and own the divine side of our nature. Our ultimate aim is to embrace the opposing forces within us, the "bad" and the "good," and bring them together in wholeness. This is transformation.
So what are blocks? Blocks are challenges. Operating in the mental, emotional and physical realms, they block the natural flow of energy through our being, creating stress and pain. They indicate that something within us is out of alignment with the true nature of who we are.
Blocks signal that we have unfinished business, or that past and distorted programming is repeating itself. They reflect the character shadows that reside in our subconscious. All blocks hide our true nature, our essence, from us. Our blocks are very related to our character--who we are--and the evolution of that character as it becomes more soul-like.
Our personality, our ego, sees blocks as problems, obstacles, limitations, difficulties and hurdles. From the personality's viewpoint, blocks limit our ability to enjoy life, to be the best we can be. Join us to identify and move beyond your blocks and defenses in this course!

Effective Communication: Speaking Your Truth Self Study Email Course
Saying what you say, requires skills that many of us must learn and practice to use consistently.

In this workshop we explore the origins of your specific communication style, and learn to speak up for yourself without violating the rights of others.

Journaling Your Way to Self Empowerment Self Study Email Course
Journaling is a process of stimulating the mind, body and heart and then capturing the resulting thoughts and feelings. Different journaling tools and exercises encourage us to think in different ways. Once we capture these thoughts on paper, we can explore different sides of our nature. We can identify beliefs that hold us back.
We can glimpse our potential and then monitor ourselves realizing it. We can discover insights, creativity and wisdom we didn't know we had. Journaling allows us to consciously work with the vast resources of our subconscious minds. With journaling, we can intentionally anchor new information in the subconscious. We can also retrieve material from our subconscious that is not normally available to us.
Journaling helps us hold steady our fleeting thoughts, sensations and inspirations so we can give them more attention, reflection and meaning. Begin your process in this course for writing your way to self empowerment! Fees: $30/Workshop or $110/Series

Tapping Your Creative Spirit Self Study Email Course
The first step in being creative is to get our mindset ready, to create a foundation for generating ideas. Then we seed our thoughts to start the thinking process. Some type of mental tension is created; then incubation starts as ideas begin to form, and we start to get insights. Once we have lots of insights, we can assimilate the results. The KEY to creativity is to seed it--to use even random thoughts to start the process. Learn tools for sparking your creativity, and capture those to ignite your creative spirit in this course!
