Bring the Kids for Treats and Treasure!

When: Saturday October 31st, 1-4pm

Families! Bring the kids downtown and visit the businesses identified on a specially marked map to collect treats and participate in a treasure hunt. Each business will have a pirate hat hidden somewhere in the store. When a shopper locates the pirate hat, they (and their party) are given a special entry form for a grand prize drawing for a Treasure Chest full of items and coupons from local merchants. The chest will be on display at 121 5th Avenue (Wind Up Here) in downtown Olympia where kids can also collect treats. A drawing will be held at the end of the day to determine a winner.

Upcoming Class: Cell Level Meditation

Cell Level Meditation

Cell Level Meditation focuses awareness on the smallest unit of life for the purpose of healing. By meditating with the cells, you begin to awaken to the vast potential within yourself—to move to levels of greater self-awareness.
By simply looking at something, you change it. So in Cell Level Meditation, you look into the cells of your body, and then go into the cells and become them, using the timeless technique of combining awareness with the breath. Perhaps for the first time you direct this ancient technique of awareness at the smallest unit of life: the cell. In the last few years, cell biologists have shown how dramatically we can influence our health and well-being all the way down to the level of our cells.
This workshop is an introduction to a meditative tool that is very easy to learn and powerful to use for anyone who wants to increase awareness and enhance the mind-body connection.
The book, Cell Level Meditation: Breathing with the Wisdom and Intelligence of the Cell by Patricia Kay and Dr. Barry Grundland, is available at Radiance.

Upcoming Class: Homeopathy and the Flu

Homeopathy and the Flu

Sundays: October 4, 11

10am-2:30pm

If you or anyone close to you gets the flu, don't forget that homeopathy can shorten the duration and severity dramatically—and make recovery easier as well. Home-prescribing will help with most flu symptoms (you'll need to consult with a professional if you're not better in a few days or if the symptoms are very severe).
This two-part workshop will give the basic principles of homeopathic philosophy, and then go through the homeopathic remedies that are commonly used to help the body restore itself more quickly and naturally from flu symptoms.
Radiance Herbs and Massage carries the homeopathic remedies we'll be considering in this workshop.

Cost: $80 (10% discount for students and single parents)
