Intuitive Development Coarse
Living As The Aware Self
Imagine living from a place of knowing where the dots of life connect. A place of love without conditions. Transforming information into knowledge and knowledge into wisdom. Moving from truth, being present to fulfilling your dreams.
As pure awareness, life expresses itself and is transformed throughout our body; giving us the ability to see, hear, touch, and feel all that we call life.
Kathy Powell Reider has developed a course that revolutionizes you in a positive, affirmative discovery process to help you realize the truth in your life. This inner-vision connects you with your natural arising intuition. You gain the freedom at will to move from the entrapments the thinking body may present, to the freedom that the feeling body offers. Living in this wholeness frees you from self-sabotage. This course gives you exercises to clear yourself at that very fundamental level and reorder your patterns from "doing" to "being". Translating into a potential desire, and then in harmony or accordance with the universe, to powerfully create.
Imagine living your life recognizing who you are, what you want and how to get there from here in a wonderful, safe way.
Living as an aware self connects you to your own truth. It is only from this place that you can use your intuition to empower yourself and others.
Free yourself from the perceived mundane burdens and leap into this present moment with grace.
Please call or E-mail Kathy Powell Reider for your personal interview, and encouraging one-on-one time to explore this life-changing opportunity: Phone: (616) 635-6029 or E-mail at: intuitivesvs@aol.com

Movement and Miracles
An experiential Workshop-
of breath and movement, meditation and group exploration to help open us to a revolutionary way of interacting with our world and our relationships.
Nothing real can be threatened
Nothing unreal exists
Herein lies the peace of God.
This is how A Course in Miracles begins. The Course was received and recorded by Helen Schucman in 1965 and first published in 1976. Since that time it has been teaching a curriculum of love and forgiveness. Forgiveness, not because forgiveness is needed – there is really nothing to forgive, but as the means by which we will remember the reality of who we are. This reality has not changed because it has been forgotten and A Course in Miracles aims to bring us back to this awareness.
In this one-day Workshop, we will combine breath and movement exercises designed to help open to new awareness with an introduction to the revolutionary teachings of A Course in Miracles. Whether you are new to the Course or an experienced student, you will enjoy this unique blend of movement and group exploration.
Your facilitator: Jan Kimble is a student of The EnergyTouch School of Advanced Healing and a certified group exercise and Pilates instructor. She has studied yoga, medical intuitive training with the Seer Institute of Holistic Learning and is a Reiki Master. A student of A Course in Miracles as part of her own inner journey, she facilitates a Course study group.
