Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss

Are you secretly afraid you’ll be fat forever? Many people try every diet, pill, shake and exercise plan out there, and end up just as overweight and unhappy as they were before they tried to lose weight in the first place. In order to lose weight for good, you must deal with more than the conscious mind; you must tap into the incredible power of your subconscious mind! Everyone will participate in a guided meditation that promotes more positive eating habits by directly addressing our subconscious minds using hypnosis. Join us to look beyond the latest fad diets and explore the underlying subconscious factors that contribute to self-sabotage, emotional eating and loss of willpower.

Cannabis: A Conversation for the Curious- NEW

In recent years we have seen the expansion of the availability of both medical and recreational cannabis across the United States and, like many of us, you may be curious about what cannabis is and isn’t.

Join us to explore a brief history of marijuana and its use, what the plant is and how it interacts with the human body, and what the new law means for the business of marijuana and the impact on communities like ours. Bring your questions and be prepared to embrace your cannabis curiosity. NOTE: No medical or legal advice will be provided; this workshop is for information only.

In Your Dreams: Dream Interpretation Basics

According to the National Sleep Foundation, the average American gets six hours and 40 minutes of sleep a night; isn’t it ironic that at night, when you let go of reality, your dreams try to awaken you to what you are overlooking in your life? Join us to learn how to remember and document your dreams.
