=====================================

Information regarding the original group:

This is a group for anyone interested in exploring their intuitive skills, focusing on practical applications in everyday life. This is a great starting point for those who are new to energy work or just curious about what they might achieve. Whether you are a novice or an experienced practitioner, if you'd like to join others in experimenting with new methods or just reinforcing your basic skills, we welcome you.

Organizer's Core Beliefs:

o Everyone is born intuitive. We're simply taught not to use it. You can easily get back in touch.
o It's just energy. It's not mysticism. But this goes way beyond the basic laws of physics.
o Energy work is learned experientially. All you have to do is be in the presence of someone practicing skills at high levels and your skills show up.
o Everyone has their own unique style of reading and manipulating energy. I believe we should embrace that.

Group Goals:

o We structure these mostly as Social Events (even the workshops), to make it less intimidating to those new to metaphysics.
o There is sufficient training available in the more "ethereal/magical" approaches to intuitive work. We will focus more on the practical methods, the essential techniques, based simply on seeing everything as energy.
o We keep it real. The modern intuitive blends in while creating positive change.
o To help cover costs, some events may require minor fees while others will be donation based.

What will we cover? Whatever we wish, as long as it is safe and stays within the boundaries of a meetup group. Basic methods include:

o More effective grounding and shielding techniques. Stay safe and powerful.
o Chakra clearing techniques. Remove the distractions and come from your clarity.
o Reading auras and chakras, as well as the interactions between them. Easily understand the motivations of others.
o Psychometry: The experience of reading and adjusting objects and environments. Keep it clean, and healthy.
o Healing past-life connections/issues. Come to terms with what's been holding you back and keeping you small.
o Exploring past-life successes. Recover the amazing skills you have already mastered.
o Spirit guides, and their intentions. They want to work for you, so help them.
o Examples of Earth-based energy healing, based on Moto-Ki. Exploring techniques to reduce/eliminate pain and discomfort.

So we can keep this group focused on topics which are more appropriate for beginners, the more advanced topics can now be found in the new advanced group:

These topics might include:

o Tandem readings.
o The power of Earth-based energy.
o Augmented energy flow.
o The importance of setting intentions.
o How water infused with energy can be used for healing or comfort.
o Divination methods. Find your keys or, more importantly, your path.
o Group manifesting techniques. Create community while bringing in wonderful life experiences.
o Big Energy: It's useful to impress, influence, or (in some cases) frighten.
o Shrinking Energy: A simple self-defense technique.

Refund Policy (pre-paid events):

Please keep in mind that the industry standard for pre-paid events is typically "no refunds", but in many cases you can transfer or sell your ticket to another party. This is common for concerts and sporting events. And recently they have been looking into eliminating the transfer option, meaning once you buy the ticket it's yours and yours alone.

There are good reasons for this. The event organizers must pay for venue space, overhead, and setup fees. If their audience is allowed to simply drop out at the last minute, this could make their events unsustainable.

Meetup's policy regarding refunds states that "attendees must be refunded if the event is canceled or rescheduled". Other than that, there are no refunds.

For my events, I'd like to be a bit more flexible. Training sessions exceeding 3 hours can be a significant investment for both the student and the instructor. Here is my policy for these types of events:

1. Cancellation 7+ days prior to the event will result in a full or partial refund. Please contact the instructor to work out the details.
2. Cancellation more than 24 hours prior to the event gives you the option to transfer your ticket to another member of the Meetup group and have them reimburse you. If there is a wait-list for the event, simply message the individuals and see if you can work it out. Once you have agreed upon terms, contact the instructor to update the RSVP list.
3. There are no refunds or transfers within the final 24 hours.

Training sessions and social events totaling 3 hours or less are not refundable although you may send another Meetup group member in your place (simply message the instructor to let them know). These events are typically offered at a highly reduced cost and the fees are used to support the meetup group's overhead.

Refund policies regarding retreats are handled differently and will be clearly stated within the description for the retreat.

About the Original Facilitator / Group Owner:

Brian facilitated the group from June of 2016 through the end of 2023. The sessions were based on his experience of 45+ years in martial arts and healing arts combined with the powerful teachings of Tess Pender. Tess was a very gifted and renowned psychic with an amazing ability to share clarity and create community. She is sorely missed.
