One mile west of I-5 Exit 14.**\n\nThe phenomenon of light la nguage has been in existence throughout human history. In recent years\, t here has been a notable uptick in the number of people suddenly finding th emselves accessing a mysterious yet deeply familiar language that is uniqu e to them alone.\n\nFrom where does this unusual language originate? How i s it expressed\, and in what way does it affect the listener as well as th e speaker? Is it a form of sound healing? Is it considered channeling? Can light language be written or translated? Is there a way to activate one ’s own light language?\n\nHilary will address these questions and more t hrough an informal combination of sharing personal stories as well as givi ng examples of her own light language\, both spoken and sung. Examples wil l include specific channelled light language “messages” for volunteers from the audience. This direct approach is offered as the nature of light language is fundamentally experiential\, bypassing the mind and being und erstood on a felt\, or soul level.\n\n**Hilary Stewart** has spoken light language for eighteen years\, and has been an energy healer for over twent y five. Having had training in a wide variety of healing modalities\, she eventually developed her own\, which she calls 360°Grounding. Her practic e focusses on supporting her clients’ healing through the physical embod iment of their own unique soul frequency\, or “Light”.\n\nHilary also studied and traveled extensively with renowned sound healer\, Tom Kenyon.\ n\nIn addition to her energy healing work with individuals\, in recent yea rs\, she has been offering “Light Song”\, a group sound healing event\ , both at home in Ashland\, and in various cities on the West and East coa sts. Though never formally trained\, her voice has frequently been charact erized as “angelic”. In 2020\, Hilary recorded an album\, “Light Son g”\, which can be heard on her Website\, YouTube channel\, and most stre aming platforms.\n\n**Presenter’s Website: [https://360grounding.com](ht tps://360grounding.com/)**\n\n**SEE ALSO: Thu\, Nov. 12: RVML’s [“Goin g Places: Honoring Youth Leaders” Gala Dinner](https://anpconference.com /going-places/)**\n\n**RVML’s Full Events Calendar: [https://rvml.org/ev ents](https://rvml.org/events)**\n\n**RVML’s Facebook [Events Page](http s://www.facebook.com/RogueValleyMetaphysicalLibrary/events)** URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.meetup.com/rvml_ashland_events/events/316591585/ STATUS:CONFIRMED CREATED:20260917T031007Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260917T031007Z CLASS:PUBLIC END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:event_316535488@meetup.com SEQUENCE:1 DTSTAMP:20261020T173803Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20261112T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20261112T200000 SUMMARY:RVML's “GOING PLACES” Honoring Youth Leaders Gala Dinner and C eremony DESCRIPTION:RVML Ashland Events\n#### **A Gala Dinner Celebrating Our Comm unity’s Inspiring Youth!**\n\n**Watch Video & Get Details: [https://anpc onference.com/going-places](https://anpconference.com/going-places/)**\n\n **YOU’RE INVITED TO BE INSPIRED!** Celebrate and enjoy a gala dinner and ceremony honoring nine youth leaders from grades 6-12 attending Ashland\, Phoenix\, and Talent\, Oregon schools.\n\nTicket includes dinner with veg etarian option and free parking.\n\nEach honoree is featured in a profile video premiering at the ceremony and presented their honors on stage by an esteemed group of elder community servants of the Rogue Valley.\nThis hig h-energy\, fast-paced event also features entertainment by talented youth performers and surprise guests. 100% of ticket sales donated to Ashland an d Phoenix-Talent public schools.\n\n**Honorees Receive:**\n\n• A $500 Gr ant to a Regional Nonprofit Selected by Each Honoree\n• A Professionally Produced Video Profiling Their Talents & Passions\n• A Framed Certifica te and Ceremony Photo\n\nEvent Emcee: **Dr. Joseph Hattrick**\, Ashland Sc hools Superintendent.

One mile west of I-5 Exit 14.**\n\nWhat if boundaries weren ’t about pushing people away\, but about coming home to yourself? Explor e boundaries as a deeply spiritual practice- one that shapes your energy\, your relationships\, and the reality you experience.\n\nMost people think of boundaries as something you say. But in truth\, your boundaries are so mething you *embody*. Many people struggle with boundaries in ways that fe el familiar\, saying yes when they mean no\, avoiding conflict\, feeling g uilty for having needs\, or knowing what to say but not feeling strong eno ugh to hold the line.\n\nWhen your boundaries are unclear\, you may find y ourself over-giving\, overwhelmed\, or quietly resentful. But when they’ re rooted in self-worth and aligned with your inner truth\, something powe rful happens: you begin to feel grounded\, clear\, and fully expressed.\n\ nBoundaries are more than communication\, they’re a spiritual practice. They invite you to listen inward\, trust what you feel\, and honor what ma tters to you. And when you do\, your life begins to shift\, not through fo rce\, but through alignment. Your relationships\, your energy\, and your r eality start to reflect the truth you’re finally willing to stand in.\n\ nBlending modern psychology\, somatic awareness\, and metaphysical princip les\, Lorie shares how boundaries influence your nervous system\, your sub conscious patterns\, and even the energetic field around you.\n\nIn this p resentation\, you’ll discover:\n\n• Why boundaries are an essential pa rt of spiritual growth\, not just communication skills.\n• How people-pl easing and overgiving disconnect you from your authentic self.\n• The en ergetic and somatic signals that indicate a boundary is needed.\n• How t o hold boundaries with clarity\, calm\, and self-trust.\n• Why aligned b oundaries create more ease\, respect\, and fulfillment in your life.\n\nTh is is not about becoming rigid or closed off\; it’s about becoming *alig ned*. Because when you honor what matters to you\, your life begins to ref lect it in your decisions\, your relationships\, and how you spend your ti me and energy.\n\n**Lorie Solay\, CHt** is an award-winning coach trained in Hypnotherapy\, NLP\, Quantum Consciousness\, Integration Breathwork\, S ylvotherapy\, and other transformative modalities.
