Pendulum Power
Thursday, October 24th 6:30 PM
|
Join Velya Jancz-Urban and Ehris Urban as they speak about how to trust your intuition. Our bodies aren't always under our control. Hairs on our arms stand up when we're scared or cold. Our pupils dilate or contract depending on what we're looking at. In much the same way, a pendulum relies on an involuntary response to indicate the answer to a question being asked. Pendulums aren't fortune-telling tools, but when approached with a responsible attitude, they reveal useful information. This workshop is a mix of theory, practical and fun exercises and includes a take home stone.
