Embedded in every intuitive moment is the opportunity to live with greater authenticity.

How can we stay more open and receptive to these events?

What happens when we act upon them?

How do we interfere with perceiving, processing, or acting on intuitive experiences?

This program will consist of the presentation of several stories, followed by guided discussion from which participants will learn from one another about how everyday intuition can make a difference in their lives.

All sharing will be voluntary.

Reservation Policy: Reservations can be made for free events. Individuals who have made reservations and who have arrived 15 minutes before the event will be admitted first. After that time, everyone will have an equal opportunity for admission.

Wait List Policy: Based on past experience, we expect that a certain number of registrants will not be able to attend events. If registration for an event is full, joining the wait list will give you a higher priority for admittance at the door. If additional space for an event becomes available, individuals on the wait list will be notified via email and given the opportunity to enroll in the event before the additional spaces are advertised to the general public.
