Book notes are provided to those who attend the event. ** Ticket Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-sage-sisters-book-club-discussion-e-squared-pam-grout-tickets-128665240197 ABOUT THE BOOK (taken from Amazon.com) Don’t face reality. Create reality! E-Squared could best be described as a lab manual with simple experiments to prove once and for all that reality is malleable, that consciousness trumps matter, and that you shape your life with your mind. Rather than take it on faith, you are invited to conduct nine 48-hour experiments to prove there really is a positive, loving, totally hip force in the universe. Yes, you read that right. It says prove. The experiments, each of which can be conducted with absolutely no money and very little time expenditure, demonstrate that spiritual principles are as dependable as gravity, as consistent as Newton’s laws of motion. For years, you’ve been hoping and praying that spiritual principles are true. Now, you can know. ABOUT THE BOOK CLUB The Sage Sisters Book Club discusses a self-development book on the 1st Thursday and the 3rd Wednesday of each month. Two date options provide a greater opportunity for everyone to attend; choose the date that suits you best. The Book Club is open to everyone and is designed to help women* start and continue down a path of discovery, learning, and growth with other positive women. As a community, we find that continually exposing ourselves to new ideas and perspectives is a necessary component and the secret ingredient to growth and self-development. We encourage you to come with an open mind; read the books that you believe will help you discover, learn, and grow; and share your personal experiences in a safe and supportive space. The books are selected in a variety of ways and suggestions are always welcome. We have read and discussed concepts and practices around mindset, being our best selves, relationships, happiness, spirituality, our purpose, and achieving our goals.

** To be fully registered for this event, everyone must obtain a ticket on Eventbrite here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mindfulness-painting-experience-creating-art-from-the-soul-tickets-128559375553 ** General Admission: $36 + Eventbrite Fee Sage Sisters Dues Paying Members: Free (About Membership: https://janetsage.com/about-the-sage-sisters/) -------------------------------------------------------- Mindfulness Painting is a unique meditative experience that gives you an opportunity to explore, discover, and create. It allows your soul to speak. The results are enlightening, freeing, empowering, and healing. The focus of the experience is on the journey and the creative process rather than the technique or the finished product. That means it doesn’t matter if you feel you are not an artist or have never picked up a paintbrush before. If you are an artist, it is an opportunity to find a different and deeper sense of creativity and freedom. As the facilitator, Jody will gently guide us through the process that will help us connect with our intuition. We will breathe and paint slowly and freely. If we get stuck, she will gently ask questions to help move us forward. At the end, we will be invited to share about our experience and our painting if we wish to do so. All that is needed is an openness to self-explore, curiosity, presence, and a few art supplies. You can use whatever supplies you have (even markers are fine if you don’t have paints), you can purchase items from her suggestion list (below), or you can order a starter kit from her website for $15 at https://mindfulnesspainting.com/product/starter-kit-paint-brush-set/. Note that your starter kit needs to be picked up in Reston or Ashburn (Virginia) – it cannot be mailed. About the Presenter: Jody Tompros is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and an Intuitive Artist. She found intuitive art during a difficult time in her life. She discovered that she was able to express her feelings through art, and that the process gave her much peace and comfort. She credits her unique ability to facilitate meditative painting experiences to the love and complexity of her family and the families she worked with for 25 years as a social worker. Jody founded Mindfulness Painting in 2016 and loves connecting with people and listening to their stories.
