š **RSVP Accuracy Matters (Please Read):**
Because this event is limited to only **6 attendees**, RSVP accuracy is especially important.
If you RSVP "Yes," please plan to attend. If your plans change, kindly update your RSVP as soon as possible so another member has the opportunity to join us.
When members RSVP and then do not attend, it prevents someone on the waitlist from participating and impacts both the group and the venue that is reserving space for us.

We look forward to sharing great food, meaningful conversation, and a beautiful summer afternoon together in Clifton. š

Spot Energy Chakra Healing
Spot Energy Chakra Healing with Sharon Sirkis
Do you have a nagging ache or pain or wish you felt more present and grounded? Come experience a fast, effective, and different way of healing through the use of chakra symbology. A couple attendees during this event will have the opportunity to volunteer to get on the table for a healing/insight. Sharon will also be adding some new techniques to this monthās session.
This event will immediately follow our 11am Singing Bowl Sound Bath Meditation. You are welcome to join for both.
FACILITATOR BIO: Sharon Sirkis graduated from the University of MD in 1979 with a BS in Nursing. She is also a Reiki Master, a certified Chakra Energy Healing Practitioner, an accredited Tāai Chi Chih teacher, a Black Belt in kenpo karate, and a singer and firekeeper for Native American sweat lodge ceremony.
Sharon was led to study and assist with numerous classes in Chakra Energy Healing since 1998. She has also studied extensively at Tāai Sophia Institute for the Healing Arts (now MUIH), with Rosalyn Bruyere, world renowned energy healer.
Sharon sees healing as a big puzzle, and she finds that Spot Energy Chakra Healings including dialogue and insights are a much quicker and more effective piece of the puzzle. She agrees that healers are actually conduits for the energy that supports the bodyās innate wisdom to heal itself, although she considers herself to be an active contributor. Sharon believes her background has helped make her an extremely strong and grounded healer, and also one who connects easily with clients because of her sense of humor and down-to-earth manner.
FIRST TIMERS: All are welcome as long as you come with an open/positive mind and respectful heart. No prior experience is necessary. Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early so you can get situated. You are also welcome to walk our grounds or check out or crystal shop.
IMPORTANT DIRECTIONS: The address is 15406 Riding Stable rd. Property is at end of 1/2 mile driveway into the woods. you will drive over a small stream.

In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation donāt just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance".
Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you.
The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life.
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
