SUMMARY:Adult APGAR
DESCRIPTION:<p>
 Learn all about the Adult APAGAR\, a self-scoring instrument designed to help people assess your Wellness status. <strong> Dr. Shay Bintliff\, </strong>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.
 </p>
 <p>
 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.

 </p>
 <p>
 <strong>Book and CD set will be available for $30.00</strong>
 </p>
 <p>
 The idea for Sing and Hum came in the spring of 2003 while Mari was enrolled in a Certification Program at the Open Ear Center\, on Bainbridge  Island\,WA. Mari was working with small children and kept asking the instructor\, &quot\;What about Children&quot\;?  Mari brought the story idea to Maya\, a musician and artist who also worked with music as therapy.  Maya wrote the poetic prose for Sing and Hum and vibrantly illustrated the book.  Maya spent three years researching music and sound therapy in producing the CD soundtrack and composing the orchestration to the original guitar by Erik Sorensen.  The fun inspiring message of Sing and Hum became a reality.

SUMMARY:Lesbian Book Group
DESCRIPTION:<p>
 &quot\;Lesbian Fiction Group&quot\; This new group is a woman identified group<br />
 reading fiction titles by lesbian authors\, or stories about lesbian<br />
 women.
 </p>
 <p>
 This group meets the 3rd Tuesday evening on the Lanai at Kona Stories at 6\:30 PM.
 </p>
 <p>
 Discussing in March is &quot\;Lesbian Cowboy's&quot\; by Sacchi Green.
 </p>
 <p>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 &quot\;Hired Hand&quot\; 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..</p>

DESCRIPTION:<p align=\\"center\\">
 <strong><em>&quot\;Love is my Ally....I let Love Win!&quot\;</em></strong>

 <p align=\\"center\\">
 <strong>Juicy....Juicy....Juicy Love Workshop.....for singles and couples.  </strong>

 <strong>Workshop fee is $25.00 per person or $35.00 per couple....pre registration at Kona Stories required. </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
 Juicy #1 - Talk Story</p>
 <p>&quot\;Dana and I have been together 28 years and we're only half way through our honeymoon!&quot\; Reverend Scott.</p>
 <p>&quot\;It pays to choose to be amused\, rather than annoyed by your partner's shortcomings.” Reverend Dana.</p>
 <p>The most important relationship we'll ever have is the one we can never divorce.  </p>
 <p>Focused on our own highest good we attract only the best life has to offer.  Loving ourselves more each day\, drama and conflict just whither away.  It's all about our choices.  Let’s talk story on those choices we can make that keep us alive and thriving ~ inside ourselves and in our relationships.</p>
 <p>
 Juicy #2 - The Cube</p>
 <p>The Cube is recognized as an ancient Sufi teaching tool that surfaces again and again throughout human history where and when the soul most wants to experience itself.  </p>
 <p>It begins simply\:</p>
 <p>&quot\;The Desert.  Imagine a desert landscape.  It is utterly simple.  A horizon line.  Sand.  Sky.&quot\;</p>
 <p>The insightful magic\, of course\, is in the meanings of what we ‘imagine.’  The Cube is a delightful teacher.  Most of our relationship issues\, with ourselves and with others\, are like the booming voice of the wizard in The Wizard of Oz.  The drama sounds so convincing it leaves us trembling like the Tin Man.  The Cube is like Toto\, it ‘pulls back the curtain’ and reveals a new glimpse of reality.</p>
 <p>
 Juicy #3 - Lunch</p>
 <p>What's a retreat without food!</p>
 <p>You may bring your own\, buy from Island Naturals deli\, or enjoy Kainaliu's newest eatery\, Annie's Burgers\, right next door.  Annie's dining room has a fabulous view\, their staff is delightful\, and the menu is filled with fresh island goodies.  I like their sweet potato fries and crispy sweet onion rings!</p>
 <p>
 Juicy #4 - Guided Meditation enhanced with tones of ancient temple bowl gongs.</p>
 <p>This is the time to anchor deep within our newest insights and understandings.</p>
 <p>This is the time to embrace deep and abiding self kindness and savor the sweet surrender into appreciation.</p>
 <p>
 This is a retreat ~<br />
 so we’ll be laughing out loud\, <br />
 deepening within\, <br />
 enjoying multiple &quot\;aha&quot\; moments\, <br />
 mouth wateringly good food\, <br />
 and your fine company.  </p>
 <p>You’ll receive a complimentary Meditation CD ~<br />
 Your ally\, as you continue to soar long after our time together.<br />
 This CD is specially designed to further deepen into your perfect relationship <br />
 with yourself and your loved ones.</p>
 <p>
 The more our consciousness is filled with loving self kindness <br />
 and appreciation\, <br />
 the more love fills our life.

SUMMARY:Daytime Book Club
DESCRIPTION:<p>
 Join us on our beautiful Lanai for an afternoon book discussion. This group will be meeting the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 2 PM. This group is perfect for those of you wanting a Book Club that meets in the day. Traffic is no problem in Kainaliu this time of day!
 </p>
 <p>
 <strong>April's Book Discussion will be on &quot\;Couch&quot\; by Benjamin Parzybok.</strong>
 </p>
 <p>
 Three guys move a couch\, save the world.....?
 </p>
 <p>
 Thom is a computer geek whose hacking of a certain Washington-based software giant has won him a little fame but few job prospects.  Eric is a small-time man who is never quite quick enough on his feet. Their roommate\, Tree\, is a confused clairvoyant whose dreams and prophecies may not be completely off-base.  After a freak accident floods their apartment\, the three roommates are evicted\, along with their couch.  The real problem?  The couch....huge and orange....won't let them put it down.  Soon Thom and Eric and Tree find themselves heading far out of Portland... by sea!

 You don't need to be an artist to explore the &quot\;The Artist's Way&quot\;.  All you need is a deep desire to live a more creative\, authentic and satisfying life.</p>
 <p><strong>Michele Quam </strong>has been leading these groups and others for more than 3 years\, supporting and encouraging people to live their dreams.</p>
 <p>The group size is limited and requires that you make a commitment to yourself and the group for the entire course.</p>
 <p>The cost for this 13-week course is reduced to $299.00.  We require a $50.00 deposit to hold your space with the balance due at the time the class begins.</p>
 <p>During this 13 week series we will be using three books  &quot\;The Artist's Way\, The Artist's Way Workbook\, and The Artist Way Morning Pages&quot\;.  All books and supplies are included in this course.</p>
 <p>Monday's 11 AM - 1\:30 PM
