- In Person Event and Book Signing! Learning to Trust Yourself w/ Tama KievesNew Renaissance Bookshop Event Center, Portland, OR
## In Person Event and Book Signing! Learning to Trust Yourself with Tama Kieves
Saturday, May 31, 11:30-1PM, Free!
Join bestselling author and leading-edge inspirational coach Tama Kieves for an empowering talk and book signing as she shares insights from her new book, Learning to Trust Yourself.
In a world riddled with conflict and doubt, trusting yourself can feel harder than ever—yet self-trust is the foundation of happiness, self-confidence, and success. Have you ever talked yourself out of something before you even tried? Let someone else convince you a goal was impossible? Dismissed a feeling or intuition? If so, this book—and this event—are for you.
In Learning to Trust Yourself, Tama shows us that we have far more to offer than we think. When we stop second-guessing and start believing in our own wisdom, we unlock our inner genius. She will challenge you to stop writing yourself off, dare to trust yourself, and become unshakable.
Tama is an honors graduate of Harvard Law School who walked away from her legal career to write, teach, and help others create their most extraordinary lives. She has been featured in USA TODAY, Oprah Radio, TEDx, and more, and has inspired thousands to step into their true calling.
Come ready to break through fear, embrace your potential, and start trusting yourself like never before.
Stay after the talk to meet Tama and get your copy of Learning to Trust Yourself signed.

## In Person Workshop! Meet the Goddess Saraswati
Susan Brochin and Maitri Brown, Saturday, May 31, 2025
5-6:30PM, $20Purchase Tickets Here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/newrenaissancebookshop/1677081
Please Note: Wear comfortable clothes and bring whatever you need to be relaxed for the workshop - yoga mat, blanket, pillow, water, eye mask, etc.
We are so excited to bring another deep dive into awareness of another well-known goddess—Saraswati. Having the goddess as an ally during interesting times is a gift that keeps on giving.
Susan is a retired English and History teacher who taught middle schoolers about Ancient Civilizations in Menlo Park, CA, in the early 2000s. She and Maitri work brilliantly together to give participants a multidimensional experience of the many aspects of spirituality that we both practice. We are very excited to introduce you to the goddess Isis, to invite her in, and have her be a part of our lives.
You'll Learn:- Who Saraswati is and why she is so important in our time.
- How to connect with her and have her assist you as a guide. It is especially powerful to call on her to work with you in any modality that you are enjoying.
- Why Saraswati is a great ally for anyone interested in writing, the arts, music, knowledge, speech, wisdom, and learning. Some of us love to explore the arts for the experience of opening up our own connection, while others might actually be working in the arts. All are welcome in our open circle.
Perfect For:
- All who wish to learn the power of Saraswati and how she can help us connect with the arts during these times.
- Anyone wishing to learn more about the goddess Saraswati of India and how she can work in our lives today. She represents the flow of consciousness, the essence of the self, and the river of creativity
- Anyone interested in the Divine Feminine and how they can be with us in interesting times.
Susan Brochin and Maitri Brown have been working together for many years as a team, sharing our gifts and passion for all aspects of spirituality. We love interacting with those who are still learning or have already worked with the Goddess in their lives.
Susan will share her deep knowledge about the goddess and how we can call on her as a guide. Maitri works with movement, and we both use Oracle Decks to make our classes interactive and fun. In recent years, Maitri has been working with the Divine Feminine and learning how to read the Akashic Records, both of which have been popular topics among those who have taken her classes.
Additionally, Susan and Maitri incorporate Oracle decks by various authors to help participants visualize and understand the topics at hand. The story of Saraswati is much longer, and we are both excited to share how to connect deeply with all aspects of the arts. We will also introduce the modality of working with the Akashic Records in this class while in the presence of Saraswati, making for a powerful and enriching experience.
We are excited to bring this work to you! - In-Person Event! The Sacred Art of Connection: Being Truly Seen & HeardNew Renaissance Bookshop Event Center, Portland, OR$10.00
## In-Person Event! The Sacred Art of Connection: Being Truly Seen & Heard
Presence Without Pretense: A Transformative Experience in Authentic Connection
Dave Markowitz, Sunday, June 1, 11:30-1PM, Sliding Scale $10-$50Purchase Tickets Here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/newrenaissancebookshop/1702680
In a world of constant noise and surface-level interactions, when was the last time you felt truly seen and heard? Not the polite nodding of casual conversation or the rush to offer solutions, but the profound experience of another human being fully present with you?
Join me for this intimate in-person gathering where we'll co-create a sacred container—a physical space where authentic connection can flourish without judgment, expectation, or agenda. Drawing from my work with thousands of empaths and sensitives, I've witnessed how transformative these rare moments of genuine connection can be.
The simple act of being witnessed in your authentic state—of having your words absorbed, your presence honored, your energy acknowledged—creates a healing ripple that extends far beyond our time together. When we feel safe enough to remove our masks, even briefly, we rediscover parts of ourselves long hidden from view.
In this experiential workshop, you'll:
• Experience the healing power of being fully seen and heard without someone trying to fix, change, or advise you
• Learn to create genuine connection that honors both intimacy and boundaries
• Discover how to stay present with others without absorbing their energy
• Practice the art of witnessing—holding space with your eyes, heart, and presence
• Recognize the subtle difference between merging energetically and connecting authentically
Through guided partner exercises, small group interactions, and whole-group experiences, we'll practice conscious connection—the deliberate creation of sacred space where the meshergy (that blurred boundary between your energy and others') can clarify into something more nourishing.
This isn't about forced vulnerability or performative sharing. There's no requirement to reveal anything you don't wish to. Instead, we'll focus on the quality of presence itself—learning to be with one another in a way that honors our true nature rather than our social masks.
Whether you're seeking deeper connections in your personal relationships, wanting to break patterns of energetic absorption that leave you depleted, or simply curious about what becomes possible when we relate to each other beyond surface conventions, this workshop offers practical experience in a skill set rarely taught yet deeply longed for.
Join us in creating a temporary community where connection becomes medicine, presence becomes practice, and being seen and heard becomes the birthright it was always meant to be.
