Bring a book, we will read and share. Not very long before my sharing of a type of reading method. Your book and sharing will be a live example. The method flow is: how to record, build up your reading list, analysis and learn yourself better. It requires assistance with computer and AI as well. So you can bring your laptop or a paper notebook to record the key steps. MeetUp sharing is like half workshop, maybe i talk a little more depending on how well you have prepared. This Meetup sharing will be in series, but there is not only Meetup. The regular gathering is casual and flexible as the calendar shows. It is not big group, 3-4 pax will do. 1 to 1 is also fine. Welcome!

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
