Your Writing-Your Art-Your Attendance
So many women have experienced a deeper healing through their participation
and/or attendance at Healing Night. If you have heard of Healing Night you know how powerful this experience is.
This is an event for women who use any art form as a way to heal from the experience of emotional or physical abuse. Women are invited to display any type
of creative object, read their written work or act in any type of
performance piece they choose while in the company of other supportive
women. And they can just show up as well!

Spirit Group January 18th, 2012
We had a sweet and powerful time together in our 1st group meeting for the first six week session of Spirit Group! We spoke of our desire to deepen our spirituality and to know our divine natures. We had all experienced an awakening to our authentic selves and the feeling by the end of the evening was that Spirit Group might very well be a place where this awakening could be nurtured. It was recognized that there is something in all of us that seeks to understand our purpose on this earth for this lifetime.
Some had come from a religious background and this had helped some and hindered others. Everyone shared a part of their own story of a new awareness. Some had experienced a need for answers to this new experience and others have had pure moments of joy that convinced them they were on the right path in their lives. We laughed at ourselves some and cried a little. The energy in the room was reported as being loving and safe.
Vickie Spray gave homework which was for everyone to create a character as if they were going to write a story. Besides the usual, height, weight, race, gender and background, the one common characteristic all the characters would inhabit would be that this person recognizes themselves as a Spirit Being in human form. This person knows her/his connection to Source. This person knows and feels a relationship to that Source. This person recognizes his/her place in this world as a Spirit Being in human form. It will be fun to see what everyone came up with!
Next group-up is January 25th.

Healing Group in 2012
January 18, 2012 –December 19th,2012
Spiritual Healing of Human Wounds
Human wounds are created by a disconnection from our true identities. We were made to experience joyful and complete lives. We must heal from the identities others have given us and move toward our true SELF.
The three things we need to help us create a more authentic life is:
Encouragement – Support- Compassion
This group acknowledges that we have within us a spiritual self that urges us toward our true Self.
This group acknowledges that we are human beings who can choose to live from that true Self.
This group acknowledges that the goal of this group is simple: Each individual will find a deeper understanding of their spiritual nature and that understanding will assist EVERYONE on the path toward authenticity.
2012=YOUR SELF RECLAMATION
We Meet On Wednesdays

Eat Chocolate and 
Learn to Forgive
Forgiveness in 2012
January 1, 2012 – 2pm to 5pm
Forgiving Yourself and Others
A Healing Workshop with Vickie Spray
The weight of grudges is heavy and grows heavier
with each year that passes. While the world
obsesses over thin bodies, our souls grow
increasingly burdened with the weight of
resentments from our past.
This workshop acknowledges that forgiveness
is done in layers and that sometimes the
misconception of what forgiveness truly is can
prevent us from doing the vital work of forgiving.
What forgiveness is NOT:
1- forgetting
2- condoning
3- absolution
4- self-sacrifice
5- a clear-cut, one-time decision
6- an invitation for more harm.
Come! Eat Chocolate! Discover 2012 in
a way you did not know was possible.

It has been said that pain is inevitable but suffering is an option. We have all experienced pain from living in a human world full of dysfunctional and disconnected people. From emotional unavailability to physical and sexual abuse, the pain of living can diminish the joy of life if we let it. Healing Night is about breaking out of the present influence of a painful past.
Writers, Musicians, Artist, and Story Tellers will share their creative expression with other women on November 5th.
Come see and hear these women who have determined that what happened to them does not determine who they ARE.
They know the healing power of saying Yes! to that Flame Self within!

The pain at the bottom of the well is the kind of pain that will scream for help and receive only an echo in response. The self that is chewing the muck has lost its way and the light that shines dimly above the distant lip of the well might as well not be there at all. That person, there in the dark within the confines of the hole in the ground has nothing within themselves that can surmount the overwhelming obstacle of that dark place. This is what they believe and belief creates reality.
There has been a lifetime of discouragement from a world whose ideas on life are based in fear and the anxiousness that fear creates. The world dictated what success looks like and what happiness feels like. The world had told them that some people are more important than others. The world told them that there was a god and that god angers easily, he (always a he) wants something from you and if you do not give it, you will be cast out and forever forgotten. The world has declared who is pretty, who should be granted privilege and who should be thought less than the rest. It is at the bottom, with the grit between their teeth that they decide if the world was right in its judgments. It is there that they will birth themselves or allow the past to bury them. It is possible that there, beneath the earth surface they will see the glow of their true nature. It is possible that the quiet will reveal the hum of the universe that is within them. It is there where they will decide if they will live or if they will die. The pain has brought them to a place they were too afraid to go to on their own. But here they are. They may choose life or they may allow their will to give its final sigh.

Vickie Spray is a Spiritual Adviser who assists others on their path of spiritual healing. She has inspired many with her own story of healing and reclamation. She facilitates the group sessions with the purpose of leading people back toward the Flame-Self, that part of us that has been called God, Universe, Spirit, and many other names. Though religious dogma has created much pain in many of us, the group seeks to rediscover the life force within for wisdom, strength and love.

Diane Arnold
As an Advanced Health & Fitness Specialist, I had envisioned that I would impact the lives of others by helping everyone who approached me to reconnect with self and their source of energy through exercise. I understood that that reconnection would have to be on a physical and mental level, and there is no separation of the two. My ten years of training experience has prepared me to assist Sugar Off! participants in their effort toward LEAP-Lifestyle Enrichment through Active Participation.

It appears I am to head in the direction of offering my knowledge of and experience with addiction. The people who are drawn to this and who fully engage themselves in this weekly gathering seem ready to embrace the part of themselves that wants to live peacefully with themselves. Maybe for the first time in their lives.

I have been driven, like so many others to discover my purpose on this earth. At first this appeared to be a higher calling compared to the attainment of mortgage money, securing a life that was as chaos-free as was possible in this lifetime, and maintaining a loving household. It seemed everyone was on this track of discovering their purpose. We knew we had much to give and were not giving it. We knew a life-force of vibration beneath the hum of earth activity of work, play, politics and the roar of our own thoughts was calling us to It. We knew that religion had served its purpose of bringing humans up to the point of a great discovery and that we must now relinquish the beliefs that undermine the next stage in our growth.
And so we took this call to mean that we all had a purpose and that we must find that purpose.
Purpose quickly became the new religion. And like religion, it was instigated by spirit and misdirected by humans. Once again we have latched onto the material while sacrificing the essence. Once again we have looked to what can be seen, felt, tasted, heard, smelled as a way to satisfy that inner calling for a deeper walk with the Divine. But, if I start from the place of purpose, I circumvent the power that can feed that purpose. If I depend on my mind to direct and facilitate my direction, I have sabotaged my purpose from the starting block. If, I start with what I am passionate about, where my strengths are or where my dreams have always traveled, I will end up using my human power to propel me to the place my spirit yearns for me go. And I will, perhaps experience a degree of success and achieve a few of my goals. And I will become tired, disenchanted with the journey and confused when hard times rear their ugly heads because my purpose is not being fueled by the quiet power and relationship to Spirit.
