Join Rabbi Maurice for five Sunday morning sessions of close textual readings of some of the essential stories of this ever-surprising book. Using specially designed Hebrew and English handouts of specific texts, we’ll discover how the text’s language and imagery draw us in to the lives of the matriarchs and patriarchs.

EFT 102 Deepening Your Skills: Addressing "Aspects"
Location: 466 W. 17th Ave. Eugene
(a.k.a. Cordy's hourse, between Washington & Lawrence)
Contact: Fraeda Scholz www.emowell-being.com,
fs(at)emowell-being.com, (541) 521- 9953
Cost: Sliding Scale $5 - $20
This is the second in a series of ongoing workshops where you will learn more advanced Emotional Freedom Techniques "tapping" skills (on the second Wednesday of each month). This month's workshop will teach you some ways to clear many "aspects" of an issue. This workshop is open to anyone who knows the basic EFT tapping points. This series of workshops are perfect for you if you ever sit down to do EFT and get about 5 to 20 minutes into it and get stuck. Perhaps you feel unable to get to the core issue, you don't know what words to say or you are unsure if you have truly made a change.
Each workshop is on a different topic so it will be of benefit to you to go to all of them but they also are designed to be useful as stand alone workshops for those who only want to come once or a few times. I have made these workshops very affordable so that those in financial hardship can also attend.
These workshops will be very interactive and fun so please bring a willingness to engage and participate deeply as you will get out of the class what you put into it. (No need to RSVP) I look forward to seeing you there!

INTERFAITH PRAYER SERVICE: “The Uniting Power of Love”
gathering on the 11th of every month...
6:45 pm Prelude
7:00-8:00 pm Prayer Service followed by fellowship
at First Christian Church,
1166 Oak Street, Eugene
E-mail: "info(at)interfaithprayer.org"
This is a special service dedicated to honoring all the young adults (ages 18-36) as the upcoming leaders of our communities (local and global).
“The Uniting Power of Love” is about how we can put aside all emotions, agendas, etc. and bring the power of love which is not just an emotion but an attitude coming from the core of our being as a guiding light in relating to ourselves and all beings. The goal for the service is to find that expression in our respective faith traditions in the form of a prayer, song, sacred writing, story, etc.
INTERFAITH PRAYER SERVICE INTERNATIONAL invites all community members on the 11th of every month to celebrate the oneness in our diversity through prayers, chants, readings from sacred texts and many other forms that come from the teachings and traditions of our participating presenters.
