growth.

From Laura
Ahhh ~ the light is
increasing, the birds are out hunting worms and creatures of all kinds are stirring again. Here in the Pacific Northwest, winter is still hanging on a bit. We had a couple inches of snow here at my home last week. However, it was followed by gentle sunny days.
I've got a lot to share with you, , to catch you up on things. However first I want to apologize for the boo boo in my last email to you. I told you the virtual summit was 3 days when in fact it was 4! But that was a GOOD boo boo ~ so no worries, right? I was so eager to get the word to you that I missed the error! I've heard from many of you how much you enjoyed the gift, which makes me
very happy. You deserved it! Some of you have asked "Where is the ToLS Spring tarot card?" I did pull one and am just about finished writing it up for you. I'll send it out before March is
over.
Something new coming up....I plan to offer a book discussion group in May for Bruce Schneider's new book, "Uncovering the Life of Your Dreams". Bruce is the founder of the coach training institute I was certified with, iPEC. The Tree of Life Sanctuary's Board Colleague Representative, Emma de
Lisle, has already finished reading it and is raving about it.
"At the heart this is a story about one man’s journey to uncover his authentic self. But he plays the role of the every man in that what he desires the most, and the feelings
that he has, are common to us all. We want love, and to be free of our daily suffering. To be able to live lives that are fulfilling and personally meaningful. By this journey he leads us to tools (his portals) whereby his experience allows him to do the work to uncover the life of his dreams. The tools are: Awareness, Accepting, Knowledge, Presence, and Freedom. Sounds simple enough; but it is the self-exploration to find the answers within oneself, and dealing with the Truth, that allows you to be able to manifest your dreams into reality. Quite enlightening, and the journey of a lifetime (or a few lifetimes)." Here is a hint....this story involves lucid dreaming and tapping into the tremendous wisdom inside of each of us. More to follow on this so stay tuned. And yes, we will offer both in-person and virtual methods to participate in the discussion group.
The 2018 class and event
schedule has been updated. Take a look at the listing to see if there is anything you want to plan on attending.
And lastly for this issue, you will find below a delightful article about one of the Tree of Life Sanctuary's earliest library donors, Barbara Chavez. It is the recap of an interview that our volunteer Librarian, Jan Spencer, did with Barbara in late 2016. Barbara has donated nearly 350 books to our library, some which are very rare and
precious.

That's it for now, . Until our next connection, keep taking extraordinary care of yourself so you can be your extraordinary best for others.
Love and light,
Laura

"Know Thyself" is the first step. [Editor’s Note: Barbara Chavez is one of the earliest donors to the Tree of Life Sanctuary’s library. Barbara has donated nearly 350 precious books, some that are very rare.] Barbara was born and raised in California, in fact she’s a third-generation Californian. Her grandmother was the first white child in Sonoma County. Her family wasn’t particularly religious, even though she attended Sunday School. She considers herself more spiritual than religious. Her personal experiences include being a “Rosie the Riveter” as a young adult, even recently being interviewed by a Richmond, California non-profit magazine. As a newlywed, she was living in El Salvador during the major revolution. It was much later when she and her husband returned there on a visit with their children that they experienced the occurrence of an
earthquake. She and her husband first returned to the U.S. when she was pregnant with her first of seven children. They lived in Walnut Creek, California with her mother. Almost immediately (this was during WWII), her
husband was stationed in Italy. After his return sometime later around 1949, they moved to Auburn, California, and then settled in Meadow Vista, California in 1950. She was heavily involved in the Meadow Vista school
system, not only as a paid employee for 24 years, but continued as a Mentor Volunteer for 19 years. Barbara's spiritual journey started in the 1970’s when she joined a mystery school, the Builders of the Adytum (BOTA),
founded by Teacher Paul Foster Case. BOTA, like the Tree of Life Sanctuary, has Hermetic Qabalah roots, and sprang from the Order of the Golden Dawn. She attended meetings, studied and worked with the Tree of Life, Gematria and sacred geometry, all as part of her Qabalistic practice. In the 1990’s, after almost 20 years of being heavily involved with BOTA, she experienced overwhelm and left the formal school. Though she still does many of the same practices today. She has created almost three thousand oil pastels of the Tree of Life and other spiritual symbols, which were displayed in many organizations, including Kaiser Hospital in Sacramento, California. Barbara is still an audio clairvoyant Light Worker connected with her Divine Self, receiving information regularly. She believes, especially with her connection to the Universal Power, that we are in the midst of a spiritual realignment. Now is a very critical period for Light Workers to focus on their role here on Earth. As of this interview, she’s looking forward to her 95th birthday bash – she even has a new dress for it. I’m so full of gratitude to have been able to hear Barbara's story, and we’re all so grateful for her major donations to our Spiritual Library.

Thenticate and Thriving Practice Center
For current healthcare practitioners and any healer who dreams of having a practice. Jesse Nunley, CPC, ELI-MP |
Jesse Nunley's coaching program is
specifically designed for healers. Jesse is passionate about healers because of his own story around being healed as a young man.
Warning! As professionally educated as Jesse is in traditional
business, he does not use the traditional business school model in his process. He talks holistic healthcare language, brilliantly using the human body as a training metaphor. Quite different from dry and booorrrring business lectures for sure!
His Thriving Practice Center offers support to health care practitioners in taking care of their practice as well as they take care of their patients! It is a blend of business education and coaching, dedicated to supporting practitioners in creating their ideal practices.
This online, self-paced program allows both beginning healers or seasoned clinic owners to learn everything they need to take their practice to the next level in the areas of leadership, marketing, sales, finances and much more. It also includes a one-on-one session with Jesse. The Thriving Practice System has
over 200 hours of content covered in 12 modules. Also included are special projects, exclusive blog content and practitioner interviews, all filled with the answers that you seek for your ideal practice.
For a ton more information and a 5 minute
video of Jesse sharing with you why he created this unique program, click here to visit www.ThrivingPracticeCenter.com. This video will touch your heart and you will fall in love with him. Join the "club" of Jesse fans who are so grateful to be
working with him. If you are inspired to join the "club", you can sign up on that page.
And if you've skimmed over most of this because you are not a healthcare practitioner, but would love some
advice and coaching for your unique business.....Jesse offers this too through his other service called Thenticate. He and his other business partner, Jennifer Dodge, would love to customize a way to help you take your business to its ideal vision. In a free consultation, you decide how much help you want from them. Visit their Facebook page here www.facebook.com/Thenticate-LLC-929847183775346/?ref=page_internal. Supporting Community
