- What We Do
- Our Classes and Events
We offer workshops and classes on many themes, and can customize our trainings for your family or organization.
All of trainings explore personal and professional growth on multiple levels, and include how to insert conscious choice into habitual patterns.
Each year on the second weekend in December we offer a two-day workshop on the theme of Grace. We began this tradition in 2002 and it is now part of a week-long event. The workshop is preceded by shorter classes and Presence in Healing sessions, providing the opportunity for people to create their own intensive experience if they so desire.
In 2017 we held our first Summer Grace retreat and this has also become an annual event.

CLASSES
"Soul Collage, Imaging Grace"
Wednesday Dec 11 3:00-4:30 PT/6:00-7:30 ET in person and virtual
Taught by Kim O'Brien and Sally Churgel
Using creativity and imagery you will call on your inner wisdom to reveal how Grace shows up in your life in a myriad of ways. This experiential workshop will give you an opportunity to make a soul collage card that brings to life how Grace guides you. By making a collage image you will have this card as a reminder of how Grace always inhabits and surrounds you and how to regularly access this support. This method of self-discovery, if done consciously, nourishes your soul in a surprising and elegant manner.
A list of supplies will be sent upon sign-up.

"Creating a Tarot Constellation"
Thursday, December 12, 6-8 ET, in person. *note longer class time*
Taught by Christina Heiniger and Kim O'Brien
Since Winter Grace Weekend provides a bridge between this year and the next, we’ll be creating a Tarot Constellation to guide us on that bridge from 2024 to 2025. For eons, people have used stars and night sky constellations for navigation and guidance. Likewise, the Tarot can be used to create constellations which are guides. Participants will learn about their personal Soul cards & Personality cards in the Tarot deck, and also how to calculate them for themselves and others. We will cooperatively create a Tarot card constellation reading and grid.

"Grace Within"
Friday, December 13, 3:00-4:30 PT; 6:00-7:30 ET, a virtual class
Taught by Marilyn Graham
In the midst of change, we crave stability and certainty – both in short supply in the external world. By shifting how we locate ourselves in reality, we open the door to deeper knowing, and the awareness that our True Self is relentlessly present and available.

WORKSHOP
"Enduring Grace"
Saturday, December 14, 11-6 and Sunday, 12/15, 11-5
Taught by Carole Mudge and Carla Rae Lukens
The pace of the world has not slowed in its relentless stream of information preparing us for change. Whether we find ourselves feeling stuck or transformed, new opportunities for growth are springing up with each step in our journey. Let's gather to encourage ourselves and each other to open up to the enduring Grace that also exists in these turbulent times. Together we can create and enhance our individual and communal skills for presence and healing while learning to recognize the Grace that inhabits and surrounds us in every moment.

Staying True to Ourselves
How do we walk our path during this time of constant change? Even when we have a clear sense of who we are the world keeps changing, creating doubt as to our next steps.
Our beliefs, actions and habits help define who we are as we learn how to be present with ourselves. Each time we interact with the world we integrate new information and have the opportunity to update our perspective.
Choosing Life Path
What am I supposed to do? What should I do next? What are my gifts? How can I best use them?" The need for recognizing life purpose is one of the deepest drivers of well-being. And yet understanding and refining our actions to fulfill this purpose can feel elusive.
Choosing our every-day expression is guided by our emotions in an incredibly wide open, abundant and diverse environment that is our World. By learning how to use our body’s guidance system to steer our actions, we create our life purpose.
