    What: The journey of Medicine from the Inside Out is an awakening of your deeper self – your invisible and indestructible reality – your essence identity. Our bodies are wired to benefit from exercising not only our muscles but our beliefs, values, thoughts and feelings. Medicine From the Inside Out will help you to identify the patterns of your life and the deep interconnection of your mind, body, and spirit. The seven keys to unlock your natural healing wisdom are the critical regulators of the flow of your life energy. Dr. Karen Wolfe is an Australian Physician who brings the mind and spirit back in medicine. Now living in California, we have the good fortune of having Karen’s presence in Fargo for one day only while en route to a presentation in New York.

In this case, we will open this event to all who wish to attend and people can donate a Love Offering (otherwise known as Goodwill ;-) ) if they feel so moved.

  • The Grateful Goddess January 2010 Gathering ~Rewriting Your Story
    By The Grateful Goddess on December 3, 2009 | No Comments  Comments

    The new year is a great time to examine your life and identify patterns, themes, stories or relationships which deplete and defeat us. Darcy and Sheila of The Grateful Goddess will share personal stories and life lessons as well as offer methods in which to release patterns and beliefs that no longer serve us. Once we identify and let go of our “stories” we can create the life we desire as authentic, empowered human beings.

    Feedback from a participant regarding this event:

    The “re-write your story” seminar was incredible! It showed me that I don’t have to do what is “expected” of me or what others may think I should do…that I can follow my dreams…it’s as simple as taking that first step and saying “yeah” that’s what I want to do…and to do it! The Grateful Goddess rewrite your story…very inspiring! ~ Michelle

    When: Thursday, January 14th 2010

    “Well behaved women rarely make history.”

    ~~ Eleanor Roosevelt

  • July Goddess Gathering ~ Dowsing with Jodie Harvala
    By The Grateful Goddess on June 14, 2009 | No Comments  Comments

    Date: July, 9, 2009

    Time: 7pm-10 pm, Presentation from 7:30-8:30

    Location: Darcy Simonson’s, 3842 River Drive South, Fargo, ND

    Event Description:

    Traditional dowsing is something that you may have heard of.   It is the ancient practice of using bent twigs or rods to find underground water sources. While underground water sources remain a part of the practice of dowsing, modern dowsers are using the skill for far more.

    Jodie will use her skills and knowledge in dowsing to clear Darcy’s home of negative energy that may have accumulated during flood prevention efforts.

    Dowsing is about creating a space and environment that fully supports you. When our environment is not supporting us, it feels like running into a brick wall over and over again. We just can’t seem to move forward no matter what we try. If that is happening in your life, dowsing may be what you’re looking for.

    Dowsing opens up your home and business to new opportunities and creates an environment that you and your family (even pets) can thrive in.  You don’t have to spend another moment in an environment that doesn’t feel good! Join us at this gathering to see an actual demonstration on how dowsing is done, then follow the conversation online while Darcy reports changes and observations of how her home feels ‘before’ and ‘after’.
