FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Peace Dreamers Newsletter February 4, 2009 A quickening, imperceptible to most, quivers softly through all nature, slowly the earth awakens. February 2, Ground Hog Day, Imbolc, Candlemas, Mid Winter, the winter cross quarter and the first glimmer of the Spring Tide, a time of renewed hope; in antiquity this was marked by the quickening of sheep, in preparation of spring births offered milk, which, in the deepness and hunger of a long winter offered the promise of nourishment and survival and a reason to celebrate. Does this ancient celebration have place in modern times? Should we notice spring creeping, discretely into being? Oh, we are all becoming more aware of the problems of our worlds ecosystem, we are bombarded by warnings about global warming, over population, pollution, fuel depletion, water shortages… and yet, when was the last time the masses, actually stopped to listen to the Earth Song, join in the Earth’s Dance? Recently, I was challenged to seek that natural rhythm, to seek that simple melody, and find my own harmony within it, after months of pushing against, and around it toward an artificial expectation, I found myself flattened by nature, and my own body, and in that challenge I found the blessing of an opportunity to listen, to my own body, to the natural song of life, to watch the subtle changes just beyond my window and within my own being. In that isolation it was simple to do, natural, and now as I slowly return to business as usual, I find that in many ways it can not be “business as usual”. I find that song of life now sings too loudly to be ignored, that rhythm beats too strongly and that my wellness now depends on listening, and dancing in natural accord with not only the earth song but my own heart song as well. Peace Dreamers, is the public expression of our heart song, and we have worked to set the foundation of a wonderful dream, and we have been very successful, and we thank you all for that. Taking the next steps in dancing this dream, we have looked closely at our goals of supporting our community in all areas of wellness, and find that we must walk our own talk as we walk into our goals, if we are to be authentic and sustainable. To that end we have restructured our hours to allow us to care for ourselves, as well as the business of business. So our first change beginning March 1st we will be closed Sundays and Mondays (except when classes are scheduled), we will be available by phone and email for distance sessions, and for urgent wellness issues as always. Other changes are in the works, some very visible others more behind the scenes, but, all move us forward in our desire to offer the best of service and wellness to you our friends and patrons, if as these changes occur you find they create concern please feel free to stop in an have a chat with us. We continue to offer free Reiki sample sessions, if you have never experienced Reiki, come in and check out the benefits first hand!

Are You Living Well? This month we continue our focus on taking care of ourselves with the question, are you living the life you treasure and treasuring the life you live? Faced with the current economic and social challenges, it is easy to feel hopelessly focused on the scarcity and loss and wonder what we as individuals can do to weather this current storm. Our government, facing the Nation’s challenging situation, has decided to invest in our country. To address America’s challenges, America will invest in itself, in it’s infrastructure, it’s wellness, and it’s education system, thus assuring that it will provide the best possible care for all it’s people. I believe, we as individuals should follow their lead, and invest in ourselves; our own infrastructure, our own wellness and our own education, to provide our own best possible outcome. Recently a new friend and I shared a conversation on this topic, and he offered that around the world, what we know as the golden rule, prescribes that we treat others as we treat ourselves, and I responded that possibly that is what was what was wrong with the world, we are treating others as we treat ourselves… neglectfully. Oh, we try to be giving, caring people, doing unto others as we would have them do unto us and in our attempts we are becoming depleted and exhausted. We need to remember the wonderful advice given by Flight Attendants before flights all around the world…. “In case of emergency, secure your own oxygen mask before attempting to assist others.” Investing in ourselves is like putting on our own oxygen masks, with small investments in ourselves, we assure our ability to invest in so many others. We encourage you to Invest In Yourself by creating your own Personal Wellness Stimulus Package, and we are here to help, Peace Dreamers has scheduled a full calendar of Investment Opportunities. Our full calendar is available at www.peacedreamers.com , Healing and Wellness Services are available daily in the shop, walk-ins welcome on a first come basis, to avoid disappointment call to schedule your sessions. As always we will endeavor to provide opportunities in all level of time and financial commitments, and we continue in our pledge to work to assure that finances will not provide a barrier to anyone sincerely interested in investing in their own wellness.

Peace Dreamers Newsletter March 11, 2009 Balancing the Abundance in your Life: Planting the Garden you wish to Grow Our thoughts plant the seeds of our intentions, desires, wishes, and yes, our worries and fears as well. So, what does your garden look like? Are the weeds of worry and fear overrunning the beautiful trees and flowers of your dreams and desires? Is it parched and dusty from an abundance of stressful growing conditions or flooded with an abundance of salt water from your tears? Or is it lush, and flourishing from having been planned and planted with only the seeds of dreams you really wish to have grow, in well-turned soil with proper nutrients and care? Each of us lives in an abundant garden of life; some of us live with an abundance of troubles and challenges, others with the abundance of joy and prosperity, and others still with a balanced abundance of challenges to assure personal growth and joy and prosperity to sustain us… each is a garden of our own creation. As the Equinox approaches, it is time to take stock of our growing grounds, considering what we want to plant, and what we need to cut back or divide to share. It is in balanced abundance, we find enough, and enough to share and of course time to enjoy the fruits of our planting. It is with this process in mind that we have planned our 4th Thursday programs; hosted the 4th Thursday of each month we will provide discussions, workshops, and presenters focused on the concept of creating an Abundant and Balanced life. These programs will vary from week to week and will be offered at LOW or NO cost. Additionally on Thursday April 9th at 6:30 pm Dr. Barbara Coman, PhD will present her highly successful Abundance Program, a forty week process which she personally uses. Check out our website for details.
