    "So, How's Your Book Doing?" Do you cringe when people ask you this at gatherings? Do you wish they'd just nibble on a canape and talk about the lousy weather we're having, instead? Then this workshop is for you! We will cover as many tips and mistakes in book marketing as our time together allows. This workshop is a condensed version of an eight hour seminar given by Patricia that covers everything from publication of your work, to getting reviews, to branding yourself, to blogging for sales, to getting your book into bookshops.

    Make 2011 Shine! Women's Visioning Circle

    Our 18th Annual ...

    WOMEN'S VISIONING CIRCLE
    Women of Power Empowering You

    Two special days of Visioning and Manifesting
    January 8 and 9, 2011
    with Evalena Rose
    Drumming Circle led by Barbara Borden, Keeper of the Beat

    Join us for enchanting rituals designed to manifest new realities in
    your life, using the magic inherent in a circle of powerful women to
    call them into being.

    VISIONING RITUAL: Saturday, January 8, 10:00AM ~ 9:30PM
    Dive deep to discover what blocks treasured goals from coming true, then
    drum and chant as each woman releases her blocks to the fire. Enjoy
    Barbara Borden's mastery in guiding the drumming to serve each dance of
    release.

    Explore your life purpose, then share the pleasures of creating
    colorful treasure maps as you develop goals in nine areas of your life.

    The day builds to a crescendo of empowerment as peers and colleagues
    witness and support you breathing life into your fondest visions. In
    sacred celebration we co-create magic for ourselves and for the planet.

    Women report dreams coming true all year from this empowerment ritual!

    "I love this ritual. I come back year after year because it helps me
    manifest the life of my dreams. I love having my goals in color and
    form to look at daily as I watch them come true."


    MOVING VISIONS INTO REALITY: Sunday, January 9, 10:30AM ~ 5:30PM
    Building on Saturday's goals, weaving strategies and plans!

    A delightful day of developing practical strategies to move treasured
    goals toward effective action plans and time lines.

    Translating goals into accomplishments through the use of mind maps and
    flow charts. Enjoy extensive time in focus groups that help each
    woman work out knotty problems of projects, think through steps to
    develop your business, or plan ways to promote.

    Energize new ways of being as you enjoy the compassionate support of the
    powerful circle of women affirming your new steps with you and helping
    you release past patterns and fears of success.

    "The second day made the whole experience richer because we'd
    developed affinity and safety as a group, and used so many different
    ways from serious to silly and playful to make a commitment to our
    dreams."
