The Role of Intuition and Mind/Body/Spirit in Connecting with the Afterlife:

Everyone has his or her own innate intuition. Some people are more tapped into it than others. It’s similar to practicing a sport – the more you work at it, the greater your skills will be. This class talks about the role of intuition, its common misconceptions, how it works in our daily lives, and the role it plays in connecting with the spirit world.

Class dates and times: 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month from 3pm to 5pm
