“Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely

in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,

totally worn out, shouting “…WOW!…what an amazing ride!”

Live Life Passionately!!!

World Healing Meditation/Reiki Share!

sjwfoundation — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:58:20 +0000

It’s time again for the monthly World Healing Meditation/Reiki Share!!! Please join an amazing group of people for an evening of meditation, healing & laughter!!!

February 13th at 7pm at the Danville office location!!! (Note the common time, 2nd Wednesday of the month at 7 ~ so plan your schedules now!) 390 Diablo Rd, Suite 115, Danville

We start off with a meditation…sending love & healing to the planet & all of her inhabitants, then do Reiki or any other type of healing on each other. All the while spending time in the company of like minded people. And best of all, there is no charge for this. I collect a donation for a different charity each month. This month it’s the Sandra J Wing Healing Therapies Foundation….Link for their amazing work is below!!! Short portion of the story is they raise money for people in the Tri-Valley area that have cancer & give them scholarships for alternative care to help during the traditional treatments. Any amount is welcome!

We will start promptly at 7:00 pm, which is why I’m requesting that you be there by 6:45 (we tend to hug our hello’s!) We will be completed by 8:30 or so. You may reserve your space by calling or emailing me. If you are unable to attend, please take a moment, wherever you are, to send light & love & healing to our Mother Earth. Feel free to bring a friend or 2 (or 6) just let me know so I can have enough chairs. If you have any questions, call me at 510-499-4332!!

Peace, light, love & Big hugs!!
