### **What’s Unhappy Hour Breathwork, you ask? It’s our conscious breathing session to embrace our discomfort, sip some soothing tea, and dive deep into the beautiful chaos that is our childhood trauma, daddy issues, mommy issues, work stress, and those oh-so-fun failed relationships. Think of it as a cozy gathering where we can unpack our baggage together, all while sharing a laugh or two (or maybe a few tears).** Let’s be real life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, and that’s perfectly okay.**We will give ourselves permission to be gloriously miserable for a full 90 minutes to** release the weight of our struggles. By using our own conscious breathing we’ll transform our experiences into something powerful and healing. Session will end with a soothing sound bath. Tea will be provided! Mark your calendars for this weekly dose of camaraderie and self-discovery. **What is Breathwork?** Breathwork falls under an umbrella term with many different marketing names and techniques. For this session we will be focusing in one technique while laying down on our back. This is NOT your typical relaxing breathing and it DOES NOT INVOLVE ANY YOGA movement. Breathwork takes us deep into the subconscious mind to make necessary changes and improve our lives by releasing emotional baggage and healing emotional wounds. When we tap into deep states of consciousness emotional release may take the shape of crying, laughing, even screaming. Many people like to call it years of therapy in one single session. It is very common to experience moments of clarity, bliss and many Aha moments during this session. Each person will experience something different with every session. All you need is an open mind and your own breathing to achieve results with no prior experience. Please note breathwork cautions before booking. **What you may experience during this session:** -Deep healing of emotional wounds, grief and traumas -Ability to connect to your higher self, Ancestors and the divine -Release anxiety -Improve emotional balance -Increased feelings of joy, happiness, and inner peace -Ability to create self-love and improve relationships **What to bring:** -Your own water bottle -A pen and notebook -A Yoga mat (or use one at the studio) -A blanket ( or use one at the studio) -Eye mask (if you have one) -Comfortable clothes to breathe and lay down **About Jenny Perez Curandera:** Jenny is a Curandera Shamanic Healer born into the Curanderismo Tradition.

Jimmy is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. He makes a controversial decision: rather than accept the inevitable prolonged period of deterioration that comes with the condition, he requests assisted suicide. It’s legal where he lives, and he receives approval. He plans a grand party on the day he’s chosen to leave this world, calling it a FUN-eral to which he invites friends and neighbors. Jimmy’s a peculiar fellow with peculiar friends, and the celebration combines chaos and compassion. The subject may offend or disturb some viewers, but those who stay through the end will discover that there’s more to this story than meets the eye. ■ Title — *Moon Manor* ■ Director — Machete Bang Bang, Erin Granat ■ Cast — Whitmer Thomas, Debra Wilson, Richard Riehle ■ Unrated, suitable for teens and adults ■ ©2022 \| 1h 43m \| Biography\, Comedy\, Drama ■ Watch it free with ads on Fawesome: https://fawesome.tv/movies/10659795/moon-manor ■ Watch it free with ads on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/100027597/moon-manor ■ Available free without ads to Amazon Prime subscribers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/amzn1.dv.gti.c6146347-b976-437e-bb42-e56da3c444e1 ■ Available free without ads to Hoopla subscribers: https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/14853655 ■ Available free without ads to Kanopy subscribers (details below): https://www.kanopy.com/en/product/12113450 ■ Kanopy streaming service is available free to holders of DC library cards.

Sometimes it’s a massive advantage… and sometimes it can complicate your business if you don’t know what you’re walking into. In this training, we’ll cut through the “agents vs investors” drama and focus on one thing: **what makes you more money and gives you more leverage**. You’ll learn: * **When being licensed helps investors win** (better access, better data, better terms, better deal flow) * How investors use a license to **create extra profit centers** (commissions, referrals, listings, buyer rep, property management pathways) * The truth about **MLS access, pocket listings, and being first to the good deals** * How licensing impacts **wholesaling, double-closing, assignments, and disclosures** * What brokerages don’t tell you: **fees, splits, compliance, and time requirements** * When it’s smarter to **partner with an agent** instead of becoming one * A simple decision framework: **licensed vs partnered vs hybrid model** You’ll walk out knowing whether licensing fits your goals—and if it does, the cleanest path to do it without slowing down your investing.
