Your own energy goes into the cards- you're the driver in the journey into a symbolic land. The reading is a helicopter view of all the influences we'll see affecting your  present situation.

Baltimore IONS Bookclub: Hidden Reality by Brian Greene

This will be a nice shift from our previous book the Holographic Universe. This book explores the idea that there could be many other Universes and all parallel universes are just as holographic as ours. Is our universe the only universe?

The bestselling author of The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos tackles perhaps the most mind-bending question in modern physics and cosmology: There was a time when "universe" meant all there is. Everything. Yet a number of theories are converging on the possibility that our universe may be but one among many parallel universes populating a vast multiverse. Brian Greene, one of our foremost physicists and science writers, takes us on a breathtaking journey to a multiverse comprising an endless series of big bangs, a multiverse with duplicates of every one of us, a multiverse populated by vast sheets of space-time, a multiverse in which all we consider real are holographic illusions, and even a multiverse made purely of math--and reveals the reality hidden within each.

Intuitive Dating: Is She or He the One? With Author Alyson Mead

Dating can sometimes be a bit groundless, even if we're already bringing mindful

ness to our relationships. With so many of us looking for deeper connections, professional psychic and intuitive healer Alyson Mead created this workshop to help participants use the power of their own intuition to help guide them through what can often feel like an emotional minefield as they begin to date. Participants will learn how to contact spirit guides, helping beings and guardian angels, as well as how to "kick out" any guides who may not be helping them develop to their highest potential. They'll also discover how to use their bodies as sensitive psychic tools to gather information on potential partners, how to use words as energy, helping to pull their desires toward them, and how to use visualization and feedback from the universe to chart their true intuitive course through life. Written and practice exercises will help participants practice their newfound skills in safe and non-judgmental ways before trying them on prospective partners. Please bring a notebook with you for this workshop.  Allyson is the author of Searching for Sassy: An L.A. Phone Psychic's Tales of Life, Lust & Love.
