I Am Ruminating...
Are You? |
From Laura
Hi, . Autumn arrives
the evening of next Saturday, September 22nd. You already know I use this season to reflect on my life over the closing year. Sometimes this is referred to as "ruminating". You'll notice the root of this word is "Rumi", who was a Sufi mystic that wrote some very deep and inspiring poems and prose. The word "rumination" is defined as...
a deep or considered thought about something
or...
to go over in the mind repeatedly, and often casually or slowly.
If our ruminating is rooted in a desire to understand ourselves better, it can be very healthy. However, focusing just on our weaknesses is not! If you would like some support in doing this for yourself this season, please join me in the Year End Life Review webinar that I am offering in November. All of the details about the webinar are below. New Team Coach!
Tree of Life Sanctuary has added a new team coach! She is Lynne Brisdon, the highly certified
coach at Living in Vision. You can click here to get a quick peek at who she is. I will share next month more about her and how she will be coaching our School's Spiritual Satisfaction
program.
Spiritual Seekers Book Group Update
In August we
launched the first virtual Spiritual Seekers Book Group using Bruce Schneider's "Uncover the Life of Your Dreams". We've been meeting Saturday mornings using the Zoom virtual platform. Several people in my circle have read this wonderful book and really love it. The participants in the book group love it too and can hardly wait for Saturday mornings! To refresh your memory on what this book is about and why I care so much about sharing it, watch this
short 2.5 minute video...click here.
I will be offering this UTLOYD book group again in October, however it will be in person at ToLS
instead of virtual. If you'd like more info about it, email me here. I likely will offer the virtual book group again in February 2019.
Your Right to Vote
143,895,842. According to Indivisible, that's how many voting-eligible Americans didn't vote in the last U.S. midterm elections in 2014 -- which means only 37%
showed up.
Here's the breakdown in turnout rate by age:
18-24: 17.1%
25-34: 27.6%
35-44: 37.8%
45-54: 45.2%
55-64: 54.0%
65-74: 61.2%
75+: 56.9%
Ages 18 to 24 were particularly
low. We need this to be different this midterm!
The Tree of Life Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 not for profit, and we DO NOT endorse candidates. However we DO promote voting!
And for you Goddesses, please remember that at the time the U.S. was founded, its female citizens did not share all of the same rights as men, including the right to vote. Let's honor all of those "suffragettes" before us that made it so we could vote these last 98 years by
voting in the midterms this November!
The Washington State midterm election this year is November 6th. Regardless of where you live these days (did you recently move?), you can click here to see if you are registered, or to find out how to register. You can also find this link under the list of events in the right hand column.
The time left to register is getting very short. Monday, October 8, 2018 is the Washington State deadline for mail or online new registrations and voter updates.
Stay Tuned

I'll share more next month about the weekly column I will soon be writing for the platform, One Idea Away. Go ahead and check them out! You'll love their
content, as it is aligned perfectly with what myself and the Tree of Life Sanctuary are devoted to doing....raising the consciousness of the human species.
Until our next connection, keep taking extraordinary care of yourself so you can be your extraordinary best for others. That's what I will be
doing!
Love and light,
Laura

Tree of Life Sanctuary's Team Coaches
Jesse Nunley and Lynne Brisdon (her info is coming soon!) |
We invite you to contact one of our Team Coaches for support. Each one has a unique and precious gift designed perfectly for you.
Thenticate and Thriving Practice Center Jesse Nunley, CPC, ELI-MP
For current healthcare practitioners and any healer who dreams of having a practice. |
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

Solstice, it is burned to release the energy back to Source.
