http://www.sacredwell.com/classes-events
“Rabbit brings back one of her most popular classes, specifically designed to help you learn to tune in and trust your own intuition as a reader of tarot.
Sure, you can just look in the book at the traditional meaning of the cards, but in order to truly be a reader you must learn to listen carefully when they whisper their secrets in your mind. This class will get you OFF the book and help you turn ON your own personal intuition.
Rabbit's unique method will have you able to offer accurate readings after your very first class, as long as you are willing to dare to believe yourself and trust your inner voice. Practical exercises and demonstration readings take place in each class, so you have the opportunity to give and receive practice readings, trouble-shoot areas of insecurity, and begin to build your internal reference library of tarot symbolism.
This class fills up quickly, and space is limited, so please call 510-4449355 to reserve your spot today.”

Berkeley Festival and Exhibition

various venues throughout Berkeley
see website for detailed schedule of events
http://berkeley-festival.org
“A Musical Mosaic
The course of western music has been profoundly shaped by encounters of interspersing peoples - artists, migrants, traders and adventurers - that have sparked astonishing creativity over the centuries.
The 2012 Berkeley Festival (June 3-10, 2012) celebrates the finest musical fruits of these great cultural cross-fertilizations.
The Berkeley Festival and Exhibition was conceived of and founded by Robert Cole, then Director of Cal Performances, and the late Joseph Spencer, proprietor of the Musical Offering and then SFEMS president. Over the years, the Festival has presented unique and amazing events: Mark Morris Dance Group’s interpretation of Rameau’s Platee; Le Carousel du Roi, featuring dressage horses and riders executing elaborate ballets from seventeenth-century France accompanied by shawms and sackbuts in their natural setting (outdoors); and the North American premiere of a longlost Mass by Alessandro Striggio for 40 and 60 voices.”

World Oceans Day
Friday, June 8
see website to find events in your area
http://worldoceansday.org
“The concept for a World Ocean Day was first proposed in 1992 by the Government of Canada at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. As a result of a United Nations General Assembly resolution passed in December 2008, World Oceans Day is now officially recognized by the UN as June 8th each year.
Since 2002, The Ocean Project and the World Ocean Network have helped to promote and coordinate World Oceans Day events worldwide with aquariums, zoos, museums, conservation organizations, universities, schools, and businesses. Each year an increasing number of countries and organizations have been marking June 8th as an opportunity to celebrate our world ocean and our personal connection to the sea.
Together, we also developed and widely circulated a petition to the United Nations urging them to officially recognize World Oceans Day. With help from our Partner organizations, tens of thousands of people from all parts of the world signed online or paper copies of the petition. Congratulations to all for helping to make this happen!
Designation of World Oceans Day provides an important boost to those organizations and individuals who have been deeply committed to ocean conservation. Official UN designation is another important step toward improving the health of our world's ocean.
Now we need to capitalize on this fresh momentum! We hope you will be involved in planning or participating in a World Oceans Day celebration near you!
Please visit the rest of the World Oceans Day website to list your event, get celebration ideas, access the media and outreach kit, and more.”

Breakthrough: Art, Analysis, and the Liberation of the Creative Spirit
film screening and discussion
Friday, June 8, 7:00–9:00PM
The Dream Institute of Northern California, 1672 University Avenue, Berkeley, 510-845-1767
$20
http://dream-institute.org/idx_calendar.html#breakthrough
http://www.expressivemedia.org/f9.html
“This film captures the intimate experience of eight artists who have had psychoanalytic treatment, demonstrating the growth and freedom made possible by facing the pain that both psychoanalysis and creation bring into awareness. The artists presented in Breakthrough found themselves held back in their lives and work because of traumatic events and unresolved emotional issues from the past. The film shows how the combination of analytic therapy and creative work liberated them. Rather than dulling an artist’s creative edge, analysis facilitates personal growth and creative freedom. Produced by the Lucy Daniels Foundation.”

“Our knowledgeable docents will explain the significance of the symbols on many of the headstones and markers.
Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery was established as the result of an accident. In November of 1854 a young father, who had arrived from Missouri only a matter of weeks before, drowned in a pond near the center of town. He was buried on land that was part of a Mexican grant given to one of the earliest settlers of Santa Rosa, DoƱa Maria Ignacia Lopez de Carrillo. Soon other families needed burial places, and the area became an unofficial cemetery. In 1867 the Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery Association was formed and burial plots in the 17-acre site were formally offered for sale.
Sales of plots continued through 1930, through records of these transactions have been lost. During this period of 70-plus years, parts of the land were sold off, and three separate but adjacent cemeteries were established: the Stanley, Moke, and Fulkerson Cemeteries. Today the four cemeteries combined are owned by the City of Santa Rosa and known collectively as Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery. The only burials permitted today are those of descendants of families who held deeds to cemetery plots. The total number of burials is over 5200.
Neglect and vandalism took their toll on the cemetery through years of unclear ownership and sporadic maintenance. A Restoration Committee organized by dedicated volunteers in 1994 and operating under the aegis of the City of Recreation and Parks Department has made great strides in repairing damage, clearing overgrowth, and planning for permanent maintenance. In 1997, the City of Santa Rosa awarded Historical Landmark status to the Rural Cemetery.
Docent-led tours during the summer months acquaint visitors with the history of the town and the many town pioneers who are buried here. Lamplight Tours, conducted in September as fund-raising events, present dramatic vignettes from the lives of the famous and not-so-famous people buried in the Rural Cemetery.”

$15 in advance, $20 at the door
http://www.cslsantacruz.com/events.htm
http://www.wakeuplaughing.com
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7GrtrhTyJk
“Our mission at Wake Up Laughing is to promote awakening and laughter: Awakening to the evolutionary understanding that we are each and all cells in a new super-organism called Humanity, and laughing compassionately about the obstacles we humans have put in our own way.
We seek to move forward what we call an up-wising - waking up and wising up to our true human potential, and engaging millions to participate in the greatest adventure in human history: Conscious evolution.
This evolution is not about the hit-or-miss unfoldings of a random universe, but rather the understanding of life as a spiritual, intentional process. It is a holistic and integrative view, and encompasses the beliefs of the traditionally religious, the spiritual but not religious, secular humanists and ethical atheists, and what our friend and co-heart Caroline Casey would call ‘the compassionate trickster.’
The comedy is intended to heal the heart and free the mind, to offer incisive insights into inconvenient truths (and convenient lies), and to do so through the eye of love.”

“When we take the time to build community along with our business working for the greater good, more people benefit. In return, our results are far greater than if we were to work solely on our own behalf. We enjoy a community effort working to support one another and in essence our community becomes our sales staff recommending us to everyone they know. When this process is implemented, it becomes an easy transition online to reach millions. Your results are easier to come by and more powerful than ever. This is the definition of the Smooth Sale!
Guest Facilitator: Elinor Stutz, Founder and CEO of Smooth Sale, International Speaker, Author and Trainer
Elinor had one of those near-death experiences you read about but never happens to you. Her life flashed in front of her in the form of a report card. On the left hand side, she had very high marks, but the right hand side was startling for her - it was blank and entitled Community Service! She instantly recognized a need to begin giving back to communities at large. Elinor vowed, ‘If I were able to walk out of the hospital, I would begin doing just that.’ It was on that stretcher while waiting to be admitted, that she wrote her first business plan - to help others near and far understand how to take their natural talents and convert those into sales and grow business. Elinor's International Best-Selling book, Nice Girls DO Get the Sale: Relationship Building That Gets Results published by Sourcebooks was featured in TIME Magazine, translated into multiple languages and sells worldwide.
We invite all women to participate in Circle of Wise Women. We meet once every quarter with a different guest facilitator covering various spiritual themes.
Includes wholesome and delicious vegetarian lunch.
All workshops and retreats at Anubhuti are made possible by the generosity and contributions of the participants. Please check with our staff for details.”

To reserve your place, or for more information, call 707-570-0111
$20-$40 sliding scale, no one turned away for lack of funds
http://www.bodyspiritawareness.com/clinic.html
“Receive shamanic healing in a community setting
Feel the love and energy of the compassionate spirits
Socialize with shamanic healers and other participants
Experience non-dogmatic, non-religious, spirit based healing
We work in a community setting - everyone healing together.
We use drums and rattles to keep the beat of a trance state, plus bells and other sounds.
We bring you the healing of the compassionate spirits in whatever form that may take
We use appropriate touch, or the laying on of hands.
We remove negative energy and restore positive energy
We give people messages of hope and comfort from the spirits
All the clinic healers have studied shamanic healing with Stuart and Anne, and have developed deep relationships with the helping spirits.
Stuart Dole, PhD and Anne Hatfield both graduated from the Foundation for Shamanic Studies’ 3-year advanced training, where they studied directly with Michael Harner, author of Way of the Shaman, and Sandra Ingerman, author of Soul Retrieval and How to Heal Toxic Thoughts. They pursued further studies, learning shamanic methods from Tuva (Siberia), Tibet, Hawaii, Brazil, Africa, and the Celtic lands. They were also trained by Sandra Ingerman as shamanic teachers.
Anne has heard messages from the spirits from the time she was a child. She worked in the alternative health field for 25 years. Currently she is a yoga teacher and therapist, a massage therapist and a shamanic practitioner. Her passion is helping others explore those places where body and spirit meet.
Stuart was born into a decidedly atheist family and pursued a career in mathematics and science, earning his PhD in biophysics. But he developed an interest in spirituality, then lived in an ashram and practiced meditation devotedly for more than 30 years. He has subsequently pursued a wide array of methods for developing awareness, or enlightenment, and eventually found his way to shamanism. He is currently a meditation teacher and a shamanic bodyworker. He specializes in helping people become more present in their lives, through embodied awareness.”

Acknowledging Your Positive Past!
an Emotional Freedom Technique class
with Andrea Johnson, MA
Sunday, June 10, 7:00-8:00PM, and the second Sunday of each month
The Sacred Well, 536 Grand Avenue, Oakland, 510-444-9355
$10 per class
http://www.sacredwell.com/classes-events
http://www.thehealingtide.com
“Andrea Johnson, MA, is certified in Counseling Psychology and is a trained Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner. She is thrilled to be bringing EFT to The Sacred Well as a fantastic tool for personal growth and healing that complements many different spiritual paths.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) balance the electro-magnetic, energy systems of the body for positive health results. Tapping over the energy meridians of the body release the energy blockages that create negative emotions. Negative emotions are the basis for limiting beliefs, body pains, and unnecessary stress and worry.
As we use our spiritual practices to heal us, EFT is a welcome addition in our "toolbox" for our healing practice.
June's class theme is: Acknowledging Your Positive Past!
What if there were small changes you could start today to begin real transformation? What if that small action and spiritual practice changed the direction of your life in ways you could never had imagined?
What if it only took a few minutes a day?
Have you:
set a goal (maybe find more happiness in your life, find someone special or make more money)
developed a spiritual plan for 2012, and then promptly forgot it
you got busy, and forgot about your plans until now!
Experience renewed abundance and prosperity
Wake up excited about the possibilities of each and every day
Experience the deeper connection of committed personal and spiritual relationships
What if there was a faster, easier way to have what you deserve? Learn To Tap Your Way Towards Your Destiny and Personal Happiness Starting Now.“

“Cards for this month: The Star and the Ten of Cups
Maybe you have taken a class, perhaps tried to learn to read the Tarot from a book, or are just trying to piece it together on your own. Now you want to know how to really dive in to what specific cards are all about. This monthly discussion group is where you want to be.
Each month we will take two cards from the Tarot and spend time really getting to know them in a roundtable discussion where we can all learn, share insights and gain inspirations from one another. Bring your favorite Tarot deck with you, and be ready to share, learn (and maybe even teach) some new ideas!”

Recognizing Big Dreams
with Meredith Sabini
Wednesday, June 13, 7:00–9:00PM
The Dream Institute of Northern California, 1672 University Avenue, Berkeley, 510-845-1767
$20
http://dream-institute.org/idx_calendar.html#bigdreams
“Most indigenous cultures distinguished between ‘small’ dreams that pertain only to the dreamer and ‘big’ dreams that pertain to the life of the tribe. Joseph won his freedom by correctly interpreting the Pharoah's dream of seven fat and seven lean cows as prophetic of Egypt's coming years of plenty and of famine. C.G. Jung had prophetic dreams of WWI but initially mistook them to be "small" personal ones. You will hear these and other historic and contemporary examples of big dreams and learn guidelines for recognizing them when they occur. Big dreams you may have had are most welcome.”

Magical Stones Workshop

Please RSVP on the The San Jose Pagan/Magick Meetup Group below

“We are in for a treat!
Dinner and a workshop:
Kay Pannell, Gardnerian High Priestess and professional geologist, will be presenting her excellent workshop in the magical use of stones - both crystals, and other mineral forms. She has a level of expertise rarely seen even in stone work specialists. Additionally, her depth of knowledge and her sense of humor make this workshop fun. She has presented this workshop at PantheaCon, but has agreed to give us a private workshop.
Come and learn how stones work magically, which ones work best for different purposes, or why they don't work for you. Cautionary information about the dangers of some stones will also be included.
Kay will be bringing some stones from her extensive collection, and will answer questions. Please bring a contribution of a dollar or two for your handout if you want one. We will also be treating Kay to dinner as our group's guest, as a thank-you; so please bring an extra buck or two for that, if you can.
You might want to bring your notebook.
No one turned away for lack of funds!”
