Film and Discussion: Transformation: The Life & Legacy of Werner Erhard  w/ Bob Flax, Ph.D.

Thursday, 4/26, 7:15pm-9:15pm, suggested donation $7-$10, Songbird Fundraiser/nobody turned away.

Werner Erhard, pioneer of the multi-billion dollar personal growth industry, breaks his long silence about his ideas, his life and the controversial program est that became the “thing to do” among celebrities and middle America and made him a cultural icon of the 1970′s and 80′s. With exclusive and rare footage, you’ll step inside est seminars, and hear provocative interviews with peers, naysayers, family members, participants and experts. The seminars exploded out of San Francisco when Erhard introduced the notion of “transformation” which would become a worldwide phenomenon. Viewers will be surprised at how Erhard’s course and ideas have permeated the very fabric of society today – in our language, advertising campaigns and in personal growth seminars around the world. www.transformationfilm.com

Vision Board Workshop w/ Heather Hendrickson

Friday, 5/18, 6:30pm-9:00pm, sliding scale $20-$25.

Spring is a wonderful time to set your intentions and goals, and an easy tool to keep you focused on your goals is to create a vision board. A vision board, also known as a treasure map, is a helpful tool to help manifest your goals and keep you focused on creating the life of your dreams. Each day in the upcoming year, as you look at the completed vision board, you will be reminded of your goals.

During this class each person will make a vision board based on the ancient Chinese practice of Feng Shui. Don’t be intimidated: it is just a way of organizing your intentions under specific subjects. Please bring some magazines to share. Boards, glue and pens will be provided. This is a fun and interactive workshop designed to bring your intentions into reality for 2012 – the year of the dragon- and beyond.
