Deck and the  Sacred Geometry Cards for the Visionary
Path.

Please join
us on a fun adventure into Sacred Geometry, Art and Spirit through FUN hands on

Carla Hannaford is back with her new book, "Playing in the Unified Field".  This book teaches about raising and becoming conscious and creative human beings.  Her book signing will be full of demonstrations and education about her unified field work. 

Notes from the Author about "Playing in the Unified Field":

"Our ideas about what we are and what we are capable of lag far behind what the science of the last hundred years has shown us.  We are vibrational fields in a sea of vibrational fields, open to all potential.  We are dynamic, leaning beings with unavoidable power to influence one another and the surrounding world.  The time has come to integrate these discoveries into our lives and the ways we educate our children."

Learn to lucid dream, & turn your sleep time into a virtual vacation to every possible version of reality!  Drawing upon modern & native techniques, as well as the most effective herbal dream supplements, DreamingBear will show you how to Onironaut (bodyless travel) by tuning into the “all at once time” & navigating the “everywhen” spoken of by Aboriginal people who viewed dreams as our direct connection to Source. Dream into the future, call upon those who’ve crossed over, have conversations with geniuses from the past, or fly among the stars, breathe under water, & defy the laws of nature in your own cultivation of dream worlds. “If you can dream it, then you can be it” says DreamingBear. Harness the most powerful of internal technologies, become the master of your own dreamtime omniverse & defy the laws of physics through the art of chaos magic & the powerful process of paradigm shifting.

Lizz and DreamingBear will take you into a theta, meditative state where you will receive this information with your internal technology.  Go deep, feel, receive and melt into the New Paradigm, the New Eden, the high vibrations of 2010 and learn to use the tool of Dreaming as never before!

Here is a recent excerpt of an appearance by DreamingBear at Agape International Spiritual Center:

Workshop fee is $20.00

Newspaper
columnist and author, Michael Hinkle, will join us on January 20th at 1pm to
conduct a writer's workshop, "Riding the Writer's Wave." If you've
ever wanted to pen a column or blog, write a book, or create a solid,
productive writing life, you will want to attend. Mike will offer tips and
how-to's for establishing your writing routine, honing your craft, and getting
your work into print. Whether you write full time or squeeze it into your spare
time, make 2010 a banner writing year. Mike Hinkle (www.thinkhink.org) is a columnist for the
Edmond Sun. His novel, The Butane Gospel, will be released in March. 

Author and retired lawyer, Michael W. Hinkle, has gone where few
Biblical scholars dare to tread. His newly released novel, The Butane Gospel, takes readers on a wild, investigative journey aimed
at identifying the men crucified on either side of Jesus Christ. Were they
simple “thieves” or “robbers,” as described in the King James Version of The Bible? Or were they revolutionaries,
as described in The New American Bible?
If the latter, did Jesus know them well? And if he did, could they have been
arrested, tried, and crucified with him? What about buried and resurrected with
him?

            Rather
than creating a protagonist who is an erudite academic, Hinkle chooses a
semi-literate, Vietnam vet truck driver from Oklahoma named Leon Butane to lead
the way. One of Butane’s identifying characteristics is his colorful vernacular,
which cannot help but elicit as many laughs as the novel’s conclusions elicit
gasps. Assisting Butane is his life-long pal and fellow vet, Woodrow
Mulholland, a reclusive, dope smoking friend-to-the end type of guy, and
Kathleen Wister, a renown religious blogger, who yearns to expose the illegal
shenanigans of TV evangelist, Ernest Bidding. Indeed, The Butane Gospel is where The
Big Lebowski meets The Da Vinci Code.

            Leon Butane narrates his story
in first person. As he explains, he never anticipated receiving a spiritual
assignment. He was content driving his semi-trailer, lovingly nicknamed Nadine,
but then he crashed. While in surgery, Butane has a near-death experience.
Instead of encountering a glowing light and divine beings, he meets another
mismatched trio: Pinocchio, Jack Benny and Ho Chi Minh. Pinocchio tells Butane that
if he wants to live, he must agree to learn the names of the men who were crucified
with Jesus and do so within fourteen days. When Butane awakens from a forty-day
coma, he instantly recalls Pinocchio’s words and though skeptical at first,
begins to take his assignment seriously. 
He enlists Woodrow’s help and the adventure begins, but not without
Butane inadvertently performing miracles on strangers. Ernest Bidding, whose
mega-church is located in Mustang, OK, gets wind of Butane’s accomplishments
and declares to his mega-congregation that Butane is possessed by the devil.
Not only does the non-religious Leon Butane have a spiritual mission, he now
has national fame, which does not bode well for his personal safety.

 Fortunately, Kathleen Wister is familiar with
some of the most respected Biblical scholars in the country. As readers meet
librarians, pastors, priests and professors, they also are introduced to many
versions of the Bible, as well as scholarly works that offer different
interpretations of the New Testament Gospels. As Butane and his buddies criss-cross
Oklahoma and Kansas, and make many long-distance phone calls, a cogent argument
begins to emerge as to the identities of the two mystery men sentenced to die with
Christ.  

Within its
unconventional framework, The Butane
Gospel sheds light on Biblical inconsistencies that have been downplayed
for centuries. It underscores the fact that the translators of the New
Testament shied away from including some important facts surrounding the most
important execution in the history of mankind. With wit and intelligence,
Michael W. Hinkle weaves a story that makes readers take pause and consider what
is fact and fiction, what is illusion and reality.

YI QUAN QIGONG:

STAND LIKE THE PINE, MOVE LIKE THE WIND

With Ken Cohen (Gao Han)

At Kona Stories, Kealakekua, HI

 
Saturday Feb. 6, 9 AM-12, 2-4 PM

In this one day workshop you will learn:
1.     Yi Quan Standing Meditation – to improve posture and breathing and increase the body’s reserve of healing energy.
2.    Yi Quan Walking – to improve balance and coordination and to find stillness within movement.
3.    Shi Li – simple movement patterns that dissolve tension and improve the flow of qi throughout the whole body.
4.    Yi Quan Meditation – healing imagery for inner peace.

Qigong,
“energy work,” is an ancient system of gentle movements, breathing techniques,
and meditation from China. Qigong practice creates a wonderful feeling of
well-being, vitality, and connection with nature. It is also the most
scientifically proven method of complementary medicine. Qigong can help you
resist illness and stress and maintain a high level of positive energy. Yi Quan
(“Mindfulness Healing and Martial Art”) is often considered the most essential
of all qigong styles, as it trains students in the vocabulary on which qigong
is built-- how to stand and move with balance, power, and grace. 

Ken Cohen, M.A., M.S.Th.

winner of the Alyce and
Elmer Green Award for Innovation and Lifetime Achievement in Energy Medicine,
is an internationally renowned health educator and Qigong Master. He has more

“Kim Rosen’s book, Saved
by a Poem, is infinitely more
important than it might appear. I have no doubt that our highly distressed
society could be saved by poetry. Kim tells us here how a poem wakens and
nourishes the soul and gives us the insight and sensitivity we need to live as

Learn all about the Adult APAGAR, a self-scoring instrument designed to help people assess your Wellness status.  Dr. Shay Bintliff, the creator of the device, will discuss the origin of this test and then discuss each of the five components, using personal experience as an Emergency medicine specialist working side by side with many burned-out physicians and other medical personal.

What most people do not realize is that what they think of as Wellness, ie, weight, blood pressure, diet, cholesterol, etc., is only one of the components in the scoring of the Adult APGAR.  how one deals with emotions, their life's priorities, person growth (spiritual and emotional) and reaching out for help when in need are four very  important components that contribute to our well-being.  The scoring modeled after the neonatal APGAR, with 2 points for each of the five items scored, a 10 being a perfect score.  Those with a score of 5 or less are in need of significant changes and possibly professional help.

"Lesbian Fiction Group" This new group is a woman identified group
reading fiction titles by lesbian authors, or stories about lesbian
women.

This group meets the 3rd Tuesday evening on the Lanai at Kona Stories at 6:30 PM.

Discussing in March is "Lesbian Cowboy's" by Sacchi Green.

Fifteen writers share their take on the phenomenon of Cowboys -- a calling, a vocation, and a status that has nothing to do with gender. Whether in the old west or the Australian outback, New England or the Great Plains, these girls and their horses work hard, play hard, and love hard. Contributors Radclyffe and Jove Bell depict the rough and tumble world of female rodeo riders, while Cheyenne Blue explores cattle ranching and the new environmentalism, and Delilah Devlin writes about a "Hired Hand" who may be a woman, but is more than a match for any man. Sexy, steamy, and crackling with the energy of a wild filly, these stories represent the cutting edge of lesbian cowboy fiction..
