Through close text study we will uncover how the early Rabbis elaborate and transform these women for their contemporary audience. We will also seek to regain these characters as female role models for our own “Exodus” at this year’s Seder table.

Nitzan Deborah Stein-Kokin holds an MA in Jewish Civilization from Hebrew University with a focus on early rabbinic literature. She is also a graduate of the Moshe Green Beit Midrash for Women’s Leadership in Jerusalem where she studied Talmud and early Midrash.

What are YOU doing March 27th at 8:30 p.m.?

2010-03-08T22:12:11-08:00

What are YOU doing March 27th at 8:30 p.m.?

What do you have in common with the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, Seattle's Space Needle, the Acropolis and Parthenon in Athens, and the Great Pyramids of Giza?

On Saturday, March 27th at 8:30 p.m. local time YOU can be united with
all the above iconic landmarks as they participate in EARTH HOUR.

On Earth Hour hundreds of millions of people, organizations, corporations and governments around the world will come together to make a bold statement about their concern for climate change by doing something quite simple—turning off their lights for one hour. In the U.S. where we are already feeling the impacts of climate change, Earth Hour sends a clear message that Americans care about this issue and want to turn the lights out on dirty air, dangerous dependency on foreign oil and costly climate change impacts, and make the switch to cleaner air, a strong economic future and a more secure nation. Participation is easy. By flipping off your lights on March 27th at 8:30 p.m. local time you will be making the switch to a cleaner, more secure nation and prosperous America.

Plan an event in Eugene to mark Earth Hour!
Medford has one. Winston and Silverton have one.
If you volunteer to host an Earth Hour event in EUGENE,
SpiritPathNow/Eugene will help publicize it for you!

Visit https://www.myearthhour.org/about to find out more. View the online event toolkits to find out what else you can do to get involved including leading the Earth Hour movement in your community. Then email us at calendar(at)spiritpathnow.com with the details of your event and we will get the info out for you!

EFT 102 Deepening your skills: The "choices method"
Location: 466 W. 17th Ave. (bet. Washington and Lawrence)
Cost: Sliding Scale $5-20
Workshop Leader: Fraeda Scholz (541)521-9953
fs(at)emowell-being.com
www.emowell-being.com

This is the third in a series of ongoing workshops where you will learn more advanced EFT skills (on the second Wednesday of each month). This month's workshop will teach you how to do the "choices method". After you have cleared a limiting belief, pattern or heavy emotion you can then put a positive choice or affirmation into your subconscious using EFT. This event is open to anyone who knows the basic EFT tapping points. This series of workshops are perfect for you if you ever sit down to do EFT and get about 5 to 20 minutes into it and get stuck, confused or frustrated.

Each workshop is on a different topic so it will be of benefit to you to go to all of them but they also are designed to be useful as stand alone workshops for those who only want to come once or a few times.These workshops will be very interactive and fun so please bring a willingness to engage and participate deeply as you will get out of the class what you put into it. (No need to RSVP) I look forward to seeing you there!
(A Health and Well-Being Guild member.)
