539  Women Growing Into Wisdom: A Workshop for Women of All Ages (0)
   Rarely heard are the female voices that express the knowledge and blessings that come with age. Why is that? This workshop suggests that culture impacts the way we per ceive ourselves; that we need a more balanced view of women and aging; and that a fuller understanding of the developmental aspects of being female can deepen our experience of growth in the middle and later years of life. What drives our overemphasis on appearance and youth? How does this limit or thwart women, especially in the later years? This workshop confronts the fears that are at the root of our love affair with youth and our denial of age, and creates openings that allow us to view aging in terms of gains rather than losses. We will utilize scholarly and popular writings, poetry, media, discussions, and personal projects with the goal of examining those interpretations that support womanhood as a continuous process of growth, expansion, and production-a process that allows a woman to grow into her own wisdom.

600  Self-Healing Through Reiki (0)
   Reiki is an ancient healing art that uses the body's life energy, or chi, to maintain health and heal disease, especially chronic conditions such as back pain, headaches, and stress-related illnesses. Although other therapeutic systems use energy flow in healing, the unique benefit of Reiki is that you can perform its processes on yourself. In this class, you'll get instruction in clearing blocked energy channels and working with chakras, and receive hands-on experience in performing full body treatments on yourself and others. With your chi in balance, you can enjoy health and well being, as well as create more energy in your everyday life. Lee Ann is a Reiki Master Teacher in practice since 1996. She has been teaching Reiki to private clients and at the Myotherapy College in Salt Lake City since 1999.
