Joy of Business

By Simone Milasas

Joy of Business: What if Business is the Adventure of Living? is about the difference that business can be. It’s not a how-to book. It doesn’t set out to give you answers to your business problems or dilemmas. Instead it opens up the space for you to do business in an entirely different way. Simone Milasas offers questions, exercises, tools, and processes to make business creative, generative — and joyful!

The Awakening The Illuminated Heart Workshop  
The new teachings of Drunvalo Melchizedek

Many people are familiar with Drunvalo Melchizedek's book The Ancient Secret of The Flower of Life which introduced many of us to sacred geometry, the Mer-Ka-Ba and the human energy field. Also the bestselling book, Living in The Heart.

This entirely new workshop, first introduced by Drunvalo in July 2011, “Awakening the Illuminated Heart” is the result of Drunvalo’s 40 plus years of research and understanding of the nature of human consciousness. His entire life’s work is represented here in this workshop. The teachings are ancient knowledge now translated into modern expressions and understandings. This is the simplest, easiest, most direct teaching on the subject of Ascension that Drunvalo has ever presented and provides the inner tools needed to truly enter the Ascension process and to learn to truly live in your Heart.

Viola Rose has received certification and encouragement from Drunvalo to share this profound work and is offering the 4 day workshop regularly in Portland and will also be travelling to other cities in the NW as well.

Upcoming dates (click on the links below):
Please visit Viola's website and also Drunvalo's website for lots more information.

Dreams Awake

Pacific Northwest Film Premiere

Saturday, August 18, 11:30 am
Kiggins Theatre in downtown Vancouver
1011 Main St. in Vancouver, WA

 
As an Official Selection of the Columbia Gorge International Film Festival, the mystical family drama Dreams Awake will make its Pacific Northwest premiere on August 18 at 11:30 am. Currently the film has won six awards at five different film festivals.

After the screening the Writer-Director of Dreams Awake Jerry Alden Deal will conduct a question and answer session with the audience. The film has the distinction of being the only film written, shot and edited in the Mt. Shasta area, and is getting recognition for its stunning locations in that area. The film stars Erin Gray, Gary Graham and Tim O’Connor.

The film story’s logline reads: “While on vacation a disconnected family gets stranded near mystical Mt. Shasta and amazing possibilities open up. A glimpse into the subtle but intense possibilities of the human spirit, this mystical drama delves into that magical lore between reality and illusions, dreams and awake, and life and immortality.”

The Calling

By Kim O'Neill

Kim O’Neill was disillusioned by her career and heart-broken by a dissolved marriage. In an act of desperation, she cried out to God for help. That help arrived — in the form of her guardian angel, who materialized and told her that he had been sent to help her build a new life. The Calling: My Journey with the Angels shares Kim’s story of how she opened herself to an extraordinary journey. Could this be your story too?

Dr. Bruce Lipton Highly Recommends PSYCH-K®
and Rita Soman, M.A., CADC III


 
What would your life look like if you could shed your fears, accept love, have great health, happiness and true inner peace?

Your life is a reflection of your preprogrammed subconscious beliefs that create perception of how you view yourself and others and what you are able or unable to achieve in life.

PSYCH® can shift your limiting subconscious beliefs to those of empowerment, quickly and easily. Dr. Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., author of the bestselling book, The Biology of Belief, recommends this process highly as it has helped him “undo his limiting beliefs.”
