Our speaker for July 11th is Ron Head.

Ron is originally from Florida.  While in the military, stationed in Okinawa, Ron was introduced to Buddhism and married a Japanese native.  Subsequently, he was stationed at Offutt Air Force base in Omaha, so he does understand us Midwesterners a bit.  After being discharged, he wound up back in Florida, ultimately retiring from business in 2008.  In 2009 he became interested in Theta Healing and has studied it seriously ever since.  In 2012 he became a channel for Archangel Michael and has been posting those sessions on his blog: http://oraclesandhealers.wordpress.com/ .  His work is highly respected in the international spiritual internet community and his channelings are often reposted in other spiritual sites.

Earlier this year Ron had a QHHT session with our own Suzanne Spooner while she was visiting in Florida.  It has resulted in Ron's moving to Des Moines so that they can collaborate on a book.

For his presentation to Common Thread, Ron intends to give an introduction of himself, expanding on the above bio, then describe how he got into channeling.  Ron said, "I will see if there is a channeling that AA Michael wants to give for the group and read it if there is.  I have never channeled live and don’t want to start in front of 100 people."  Ron also intends to give a free introduction to Theta Healing, the aim being to have fun with it.  He will then open to any questions on either topic.

The Speaker for June 6th is our own Judy Olson.

Judy Olson was born and raised on the north-central plains of South Dakota. Early work and play experiences connected her strongly to the earth and paved the way for her to embrace the beauty of Native American spirituality when she encountered it as an adult. She sings, plays and writes music for the guitar and the Native American flute. Her passion for the flutes is especially strong and has led her to play them whenever she can, sell them, give lessons and create CD's. Judy regularly leads drumming circles in the Native American tradition and writes with a native flair. She believes that the teachings of the ancient Native American Medicine have much to offer us in modern times. 

At the next Common Thread meeting you can expect to learn the dynamic lessons of the medicine wheel, hear stories, music and ask questions about all of it. 

For Judy, music and sound are healing arts that she combines with other modalities. She is a Reiki Master and is also trained in Healing Touch, Quantum Touch, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Spiritual Response Therapy ( SRT ). In addition to these methods, she uses the power of sound, music and drumming in healing sessions and rituals. She recently retired after 38 years of teaching and is now focusing on healing, writing and music. 

You may contact Judy by phone at 515-255-5933 or by email at judithfolson@hotmail.com.

The Topic for May 2nd, 2013:

Kevin Thoren will be our speaker this month. You may remember him as the one who brought the Buddha Relics to Des Moines last summer. Kevin has recently returned from a trip to Brazil, and he is excited to provide us with details of his amazing journey.  I hope you will join us!

 

Kevin says:   Over 1 million persons from across the earth with physical, emotional, mental and even terminally ill conditions have traveled to see John of God at the spiritual healing center named the Casa Dom Inacio in Abadiânia, Brazil to receive these spiritual healings. This has included over 10,000 medical doctors and researchers to confirm the numerous levels of spiritual healings performed.
I would say many millions more have been  helped as their pictures were presented or by surrogate surgeries as they could not be in the presence of John of God and his helpers.  Wayne Dyer and Oprah Winfrey have both been to see John of God.  Wayne Dyer says he was cured of Leukemia.
Since 1991 after hearing a friend share his experience it had been a dream of mine to go to Brazil. This dream was finally realized in February 2013.  I will share my experience while with John of God and the spiritual beings who work with him.   I had an energetic surgery and I will try and explain what my experience was like.  We have all discussed energy medicine.  My experience with John of God has given me a greater understanding of what this truly means.

I am looking forward to sharing my journey with you and the miracles I personally experienced.

The Topic for April 4th, 2013:

Resonance Repatterning® - Quantum Change Made Easy

Lynn Larson comes to us from Georgetown, Texas and will be offering
A Group Resonance Repatterning

 

Have you ever wanted things to change, but you weren't sure exactly where to start or what to change or how to do it?
Resonance Repatterning® can help with that!
It's an incredible broadly encompassing system based on concepts from new physics, cutting edge brain research and energy psychology, that taps into your own energy system to find out what shifts you're ready to make that will lead to the outcome you desire.
Perhaps you want better relationships, more meaningful employment, greater spiritual connection, or a healthier body - all of these being dependent upon what you resonate with. What's happening in your life now is a manifestation of those patterns of resonance to which you currently respond -- and what's not happening come from frequency patterns with which you've yet to fully resonate. Resonance Repatterning® is the bridge from the one to the other.
The Resonance Repatterning process taps into your own energy field to find what to switch from and what to switch to, as well as how to switch, and then verifies the switch from the old to the new -- opening the door for you to manifest what you want in your life. It's like switching channels so you're playing the tune you want to hear.

The Resonance Repatterning Mandala - a roadmap for change

 

 Lynn Larson has been a Certified Resonance Repatterning practitioner since 1997. She has also been a Reiki Master since 1996 and incorporates ideas from many different backgrounds, such as Chinese 5-elements, Polarity, Ayurvedic knowledge, Tibetan Tonal, sound, movement, light, crystals, essences, essential oils, Feldenkrais, Alexander, Somatics, and Ortho-bionomy.

Lynn will be available for sessions while she is in Des Moines starting Thursday morning, April 4th, through Sunday, April 7th.  Appointments can be made by contacting Dawn at 515.480.0904 or by email  amanecermo@gmail.com.

The March 7th Presenter, weather premitting as she will be coming down from Minnesota, will be Donna Garlinghouse.  Please read through the following and print out YOUR FREE RAVE CHART at the link listed below so you'll be able to discover YOUR TYPE in this Human Design prior to the meeting.

OUR TOPIC FOR March-

 

The Human Design System:  Where Science and Spirituality meet  

HUMAN DESIGN is not a belief system. It is the revealed Science of Differentiation. Its Trademark, the beautiful Rave Mandala™ pictured, is an extraordinary, living, synthesis combining Quantum (Particle) Physics, biochemistry and genetics with four ancient esoteric systems – Astrology, the Chinese I Ching, the Cabala, and the Chakras.  This synthesis is more than the sum of its parts. It is both a Rosetta stone, a lens through which to interpret the evolution of consciousness, and a treasure map to understanding ourselves at deeply personal and archetypal levels. 

We are not here by accident, but by design, and we come with a unique purpose to fulfill and part to play.  Human Design provides us with accurate information about ourselves.   Its easily accessible “tools for living” equip us to navigate life by making decisions based on what is right for us.   The first tool to focus on is coming to a working understanding of our auric Type. 

Following a brief introduction to the scope of The Human Design System, your Type will be explained so you can begin experimenting with it immediately. For more information, click here. (This is space  for the document I will send under separate cover as soon as I have refined it - some more.: >) 

In preparation for the event, you are encouraged to go to www.jovianarchive.com, select “Get your Free Rave Chart.”  Be sure to have your birth data in hand - birth date, place and accurate birth time - and follow the easy instructions.  You will receive your Human Design Rave BodyGraph with a complimentary three page print out. While there, you are welcome to explore Jovian’s extensive website, beginning with their newcomer’s section: “New to Human Design?”  Enjoy!

 

Donna will be available for individual chart readings on Friday, March 8th, from 8am - 12noon.  Please call Donna by February 28th to set up your time 1-320-763-4304 or email her at djghouse@charter.net .  The first three or four people to call will receive a formal Overview reading while she is in Des Moines on Friday. 

Presenter Donna Garlinghouse is licensed by Jovian Archive Corporation as an Individual and Family Analyst, a Living Your Design Guide and an ABC’s Teacher.  She has studied piano, religion, art education/ art history and philosophy, with careers as an art teacher and fiber artist.  Stepping stones include an MS degree in Art Education from the UO (Oregon) with a year’s study in Europe.  She spent decades exploring the lives of the Christian mystics, studying the Course in Miracles, teaching Reiki and advocating for the disenfranchised, but – except for being a grandmother - nothing has captured her imagination or proved to be more personally empowering in its practicality than has the Human Design System, which she has dedicated herself to for the past 12 years.
