A note on the March 11th class! I am intending to have it be half education/presentation and half self-help things you can do at home. So you won't be bored, come see and learn and play.

Am off to Portland this weekend to teach a foot pain class, there is still time to register if you want to add this awesome technique to your healing abilities. Even in a down economy people need help for their ouchy feet.

I think I broke my advanced tarot class on Saturday. We all looked fried after spending 4 intense hours with the major arcana. Good think they get a week off to recover.

I've never been referred to as Goetz before, how funny. I've only been married like 10 years but that was weird to see.

Speaking at Cenrtal Library

YAY!

My posters are done for the talk I am giving at the Seattle Public Library on Wednesday March 11th. They are very yellow and kinda funny but who cares!

I hope a couple of you can come so I am not in a big room talking to myself. I'll post more details as they progress and as the date gets closer but save Wednesday the 11th. Maybe we can even go out after words since we will be downtown!

I looked at my calendar and realized I am also giving a presentation this Sunday to the Washington Reflexology Association. Crap! I need to plan something amazing quickly!

symbol and Tarot

Here is a brief bit from the upcoming Tarot class I am teaching in West Seattle. There are still 2 spaces open if you'd like to join. It starts Monday night (july 21st)

Since language can be limiting and it is sometimes difficult to articulate spiritual journey in linear form, we are now seeing a resurgence of symbol as expression in the western world. As people delve into new experiences, many are finding that our current languages lack words to describe these events. To be able to communicate the “unspeakable,” people are turning to and rediscovering systems of symbolic language such as the I Ching, the Tarot, runes and astrology. “To the imagination the sacred is self-evident,” Nietzsche said. It is to the imagination that symbols speak, our focus should be learning to play again as we discover new ways to communicate with each other.

Symbols are rich channels of information. Determining the meaning held within them is a journey of personal discovery. No two people will ever view the same symbol in quite the same way. We each have our own life story behind us that adds to our experience and interpretation. Mythologist Joseph Campbell once remarked that those who do not know that symbols hold hidden meaning are “like diners going into the restaurant and eating the menu rather than the meal it describes.” The soul thinks in symbols. It is not literal-minded. It is play minded.

We sense that metaphor and symbol is a pathway to discovering, really discovering, ancient archetypes that hold the keys to personal transformation. Tools like the labyrinth, the tarot, and others can help you walk a path of deeper understanding, linking you to the collective unconscious and leading you to rediscover a life with more play and less “reality.”

Reflexology in Portland

Whew!

I have made it past my trepidation and fear and am finally putting myself back out there to teach reflexology. It has been a roller coaster of highs and lows on this journey and I am so delighted to be back.

Oregon School of Massage has accepted my proposal of teaching a weekend reflexology class! The class will focus on how reflexology can help reduce and eliminate foot pain. I never would have made it this far without my dear friend Nancie! Thank You!

I'm heading down on the 15th of July to meet finalize things and pick dates!

I have also decided to make a video of the sequence I have created, I'm sure there will be many funny stories to tell about that process in the near future!

Next stop! Cortiva in Seattle... then on to who knows where...
