<p><span style="font-size: small;">About Steve Gold: </span></p>
<div>Steve Gold is a singer, songwriter and yogi who composes original songs that are a blend of American blues, Sanskrit mantras, with Western pop and folk melodies. His music has become a soundtrack for yoga classes since the release of the widely acclaimed CD, <em>So Much Magnificence</em>. His distinctively rich vocal timbre and his engaging enthusiasm encourages the listener’s heart to open. Steve and his wife Anne-Émilie travel the world offering their gifts of heart melting harmonies. For more information and to listen to the music please visit Steve’s official website SoMuchMagnificence.com.<span style="color: #ff0000;"> &lt; </span><a href="http://www.somuchmagnificence.com/"><span style="color: #ff0000;">http://www.somuchmagnificence.com</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">/</span></a><span style="color: #ff0000;">&gt;&gt;</span></div>
<div><em>“I have witnessed rivers of tears flow from people listening to Steve Gold&#8217;s version of this incredible praise of the ocean&#8221; </em>says SHIVA REA about the song So Much Magnificence.</div>
<p><em>“Magnificence is &#8216;pure gold.&#8217; Steve Gold is a down to earth, soulful being who creates powerfully positive music that heals, connects and inspires. These healing vibrations come straight from the heart, and weave a sacred space for yoga, healing or being. I have had the pleasure of welcoming Steve and Anne-Émilie into my class and sharing music with them. The effects are miraculous, people all over the world are responding to this music. I whole-heartedly embrace and recommend this sacred music.” </em>SAUL DAVID RAYE, yogi, healer, activist</p>
<div><em>&#8220;Steve Gold and Anne-Emilie bring a clarity to the room that fits in with the energy of yoga. They shine forth clearly as conductors of prana, seeking the note that brings the whole group together in song.&#8221; </em>LORIN ROCHE, Ph.D., Author, The Radiance Heart Sutras</div>

<p><strong>Description of the June 2010 retreat</strong>: Allow yourself a weekend of reconnecting with self through the healing power of nature. The retreat center is located on a 10 acre property in the Sierra foothills within the serenity of a peaceful natural forest setting.  Energizing yoga classes will be held each morning followed by meditation instruction. Restorative yoga offered in the evening will allow for relaxation and inner peace.  There will be leisure time to explore the forest trails, swim in the natural pond, soak in the hot tub, and walk the labyrinth. The days will also include teachings, special events, and delicious gourmet vegetarian meals prepared by our own chef Mark Follansbee.</p>

<p>Be open to sensing all of nature. Hear, smell, taste, look , listen, touch and<em> know</em> the breathtaking environment that will surroud you this weekend. Use every moment to sense the sun, wind, moon, sky, ground &#8211; all of the natural world. When you can be with nature you can feel joy. When you can just BE <em>in</em> nature you will find spirit again.</p>

<p>Calling all REIKI PRACTITIONERS! <strong>Gold Country Reiki Association has been established and  is now meeting regularly on Wednesdays at Dragonfly Studio Suite E. </strong> Contact Sushila Mertens 274.2496 for times and specific dates, or email: blinkandbreathe@gmail.com website:  <a href="http://blinkandbreathe.com/" target="_blank">http://blinkandbreathe.com</a></p>

<p><strong>Rapid Eye  Technology</strong> assists in releasing trapped energy, negative patterns and limiting beliefs on all levels–physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of each being. This allows you to make new choices.</p>
<p><strong>If you continue to do the same pattern, you will continue to get the same results</strong>.<br />
We introduce life skills for living to educate the client. You have the opportunity with these principles to create the life you would rather have.</p>
<p><strong>RET Skills for Life Classes: </strong><strong>Wednesdays 1-2 pm</strong><br />
<strong>Free weekly classes are available for clients; $10/class for the public </strong></p>

<p>Rapid Eye simulates the natural process you do every night in your sleep&#8230;<span id="more-251"></span></p>
<p>During a Rapid Eye Session the conscious mind is communicating with the subconscious mind creating a safe environment to let go of the energy attached to the stress or trauma. It says in laymen terms, “Oh that kept me alive when I was five years old, but I don’t need it now.”</p>
<p>The RET Technician uses an eye directing device to direct the eyes while the<br />
client blinks rapidly. As the device moves back and forth in front of the eyes the client picks up the fast movement, replicating the “alpha/theta” brain wave state.</p>
<p>The RET Technician uses rapid spoken verbal communication to direct the release of core issues. During this process the eyes are rapidly blinking and releasing the energy of emotions, pictures, and memories. Many different eye movements, techniques and processes work to safely affect change in the whole. Processes include getting the body to walk through and experience new feelings. Spirit and light are included in the process to work on all layers and levels of healing. Most people respond wonderfully to this process and feel better immediately without reliving the trauma.</p>
<p>Rapid Eye assists in releasing trapped energy, negative patterns and limiting beliefs on all levels–physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of each being. This allows you to make new choices.</p>
<p><strong>If you continue to do the same pattern, you will continue to get the same results</strong>.<br />
We introduce life skills for living to educate the client. You have the opportunity with these principles to create the life you would rather have.</p>
<p>I have found Rapid Eye Technology (RET) sessions and life skills to be the best combination of tools for me to create new ways of thinking and living.</p>
<p>Although everyone’s journey is individual, there is a structure we follow to ensure you receive the most thorough release from your sessions. There are <strong>6 basic sessions</strong> to introduce and teach the processes and to clear life and family patterns.</p>
<p>Many of our life patterns began during the birth process. During this time we may have developed beliefs in struggle, pain, not good enough, or darkness, to name a few. <strong>The Light Birth session</strong> is written to remind the system that we brought the light with us; we are not ever disconnected.</p>
<p><strong>The Inner Child Work sessions</strong> work in the parts of our subconscious that continue to hold trauma from birth to 18 years old. We will also identify and address what your system does when you are afraid. Looking at old patterns that are no longer effective and helping your system develop new patterns may bring better results.</p>
<p>Once the foundation has been laid and many fundamental issues and beliefs held in the DNA have been processed, then individual current issues such as grief, fear, anger, blame, addictive patterns, self-esteem, and boundaries process more quickly.</p>
<p>Additional sessions include: Perception/Creation Walk, New Pattern Cycle Creation, Clearing for Unconditional Love, Chakra Balancing, Healthy Cells, and more.</p>
<p><strong>Rapid Eye Technology Sessions: </strong>90 minutes/$75<strong>. </strong>Group sessions available.<br />
<strong>Free weekly <em>Skills for Life</em> classes are available for clients; $10/class for the public.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Reiki (RAY-key)</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Reiki, one of the more widely known forms of energy healing, is a process of laying on of hands that sends Ki or life force into the body working with the whole being, balancing the emotional and mental bodies, and promoting relaxation and the body’s natural ability to heal. Reiki healers receive initiations and training from a Reiki Master.<br />
Sushila Mertens, Reiki Master, is honored to share Reiki and to pass the traditional Reiki healing to students who have the desire to learn. Be prepared for spiritual growth. </strong></p>

Mary McFadyen received direct attunement from traditional Reiki Master Takata who brought the Usui system of the ancient Japanese teachings to the United States in the 70’s. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Reiki: </strong>Sessions 60 minutes/$50.00. 1<sup>st</sup> &amp; 2<sup>nd</sup> Degree Attunements $125, 3<sup>rd</sup> Degree Master Attunement $350.</p>
