The scientific evidence for lucid dreaming appeared prominently in 1980, through the work of Keith Hearne in England and Stephen LaBerge at Stanford. Being consciously aware of dreaming while in the dream, however, has a vast tradition in Buddhist dream yoga, Sufism and native shamanic traditions for millennia. There, lucid dreaming serves as a tool for deep exploration into the nature of mind and reality.
 
Our presenter, Robert Waggoner, taught himself a simple technique in 1975 to become lucidly aware and has had more than 1,000 lucid dreams. His two books explore the amazing potential of this profound state and what it reveals. Waggoner sees lucid dreaming as an 'open platform' that allows for accessing inner creativity, exploring the deeper nature of self, engaging spiritual concepts and healing the emotional and physical body.
 
In this special presentation, Waggoner will focus on using lucid dreams for healing. Already some psychotherapists use lucid dreaming as an accepted means to resolve recurring nightmares in clients with post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. However, Waggoner shows that lucid dreaming has far greater potential for physical healing and resolving emotional trauma. He will provide compelling examples of healing lucid dreams, and will explain how these show underlying mechanisms that anyone can use for healing.

Dowser and Psychic
Ginette Matacia Lucas

Saturday, Feb. 4, 2023
1:30 PM PST
Zoom Meeting ID: 827 2247 4993
  
Ginette uses her Psychic and Dowsing talents to do Consulting and Technical Advising for individuals, media, and production houses. She also has an ability called Synesthesia, which only 4% of the world has accessed. Some doctors refer to it as a superhuman ability. Ginette has had 4 near death experiences, 2 of which were in the hospital where she flatlined. She recently also started talking about her odd alien and out of body experiences.
 
Ginette’s Psychic abilities are used to find missing persons, objects, and treasure, by herself and with additional team members like Psychic Angela Ford of the StarGate Program. Ginette was featured in Smithsonian Magazine, where writer Jack Hope had her find his two missing objects accurately. Journalist Maureen Seaberg wrote about Ginette’s work locating treasurer hidden by Al Capone and his right-hand man Frank Nitty in Psychology Today. (Writer Maureen Seaberg, also has a book coming out in August 2023 on Synesthesia.)
 
Ginette is also known for her high-profile missing persons cases like the missing toddler Caylee Anthony and working with the FBI on the Chandra Levy case (a Senator's missing intern). Ginette has located over 25 missing persons in the US.
 
Ginette is the daughter of Louis Matacia, the famous Water and Military Dowser. They both located residential and commercial Water Wells. In the 1960’s, Louis worked with the Military to teach them dowsing to locate booby traps and bombs. He and Ginette both worked with the Military, Police, CIA, FBI, DEA, and other international Governments. Her father has passed now but Ginette continues in his footsteps. She is a member of the American Society of Dowsers and is presently writing a book about some of her experiences.
 
Ginette looks forward to sharing with us one of the techniques she uses to locate lost things.

Happily Ever After

Did you know that February 26th is National Tell a Fairy Tale Day? (Who knew?)

"Gather round the fire, and make yourselves comfortable… National Tell A Fairy Tale Day is all about exploring myths and stories, old and new."

This got me to thinking about the myths and stories we tell ourselves. A wise man once told me that the myths a society holds inform how that society creates itself and how it behaves in the world. The same can be true on a personal level. So, what is your story? Is the story you tell yourself true? If you were to make changes to your story, what would they be? Where has your heroine's journey taken you?

Join us as we gather around the virtual fire and explore our stories and our myths, old and new.


An evite will be sent to the women on the women's group mailing list. If you'd like to join, please email judy@kittfamily.com. We'd love to have you with us!
