The Spirit Whisperer Book Tour
Live! John Holland Psychic Medium
Saturday March 27, 2010 6:30 - 8 :30 PM $65.00
John Holland is an internationally renowned psychic medium and spiritual teacher. He has been lecturing, teaching, demonstrating, and reading for private clients for over 20 years. He's dedicated to the ongoing development of his unique gift and brings real integrity to his profession. John says, "If I can help people connect with someone on the other side, and bring peace, comfort, and perhaps some closure, then I've done my job. Mediumship is more than just delivering messages, it's about the confirmation and validation that once our physical body dies, our 'spirit' lives on, but more importantly how the spirits of our relatives, friends, and loved ones are still connected to us." Author of best sellers: Born Knowing, Psychic Navigator, 101 Ways to Jump Start Your Intuition, Power of the Soul, and The Psychic Tarot Oracle Deck, Holland is keen to promote the difference between being a psychic and a medium. A psychic can draw information from your aura, which can provide knowledge about both current and future events, whereas a medium is the conduit between the spirit world and the physical world - the connection, and as he so often calls it - a 'soul to soul connection'. For further information about John Holland, visit: www.johnholland.com or www.hayhouseradio.com
Using this linking process, spectacular results have been achieved, with clients throughout the world. He hosts his own weekly Hay House radio show "Spirit Connections", and has been featured in top TV programs, such as: a 2-hour A&E special: "Mediums - We See Dead People," the History Channel's "Psychic History" and his story was originally profiled on CBS "Unsolved Mysteries."
John will present his fascinating insight into the world of a psychic medium, as always with his memorable style and classic sensitivity. John will also share some of his most intimate and extraordinary stories and insights from his latest book, The Spirit Whisperer, and in which he also explains the signs and symbols that our loved ones continually try to send us. One of his most popular sayings is: "Those on the Other Side want to talk to you-as much as you want to talk to them!"
A large part of the evening will be dedicated to delivering messages from the Other Side to as many people as time permits, but please remember that attendance does not guarantee a message. Book signing will follow this event. This event will be limited to 90 people only. 
John's Books and CDs are available in our store at Peace of Mind Emporium or on our website.

Private Tarot Consultations with Ann Hentz
Saturday March 27, 2010 1:00 PM to 5: 00 PM
Tarot consultations help you discover the power that YOU have to create the life you want and deserve. Through thoughtful dialogue and a connection with Spirit, we can use the tarot to explore the energies that surround you. Using tarot as our tool, we can discuss your life, loves, joys, sorrows, and the path you have chosen for this incarnation. The Tarot connects us with the Divine, our Higher Self, and with our Guides. The cards do not show a "cast in concrete" future. Instead, they show a potential future based on your current actions. If you like what you see in a reading, continue on your current path. If youʼd prefer to change what you see in a reading, change your behaviors and beliefs. Your Future is being created from the Now. Tarot can be a useful tool in that creation. A tarot reading can provide clarification, suggest direction, examine alternatives, and offer possible solutions. The key is within YOU. Let the magick of the tarot guide and empower you!

Friday April 30, 2010 7:00 - 9:00 PM $35.00
Join internationally renowned medical intuitive, Hay House author and internet radio host and internet TV personality, Carol Ritberger, for an evening of intuitive readings and medical intuitive assessments. One of our most loved presenters, this will mark Carol's third visit to Vermont. Participants have been astounded by Carol's abilities, warmth, and insights.
As the result of a near-death experience, Carol is able to literally see the human aura. She uses this ability to identify where there are energy blockages that are preventing the body from functioning properly and to uncover the hidden psychological meanings behind illness and life crises.
The evening will begin with a brief energy update and her sharing of how ongoing energy shifts affect your body and your ability to make decisions. Carol will dazzle us as she teaches us how she works what appears to us as magic, yet is scientifically verified!
Now is your chance to get a reading as she answers questions and interacts with participants! Carol will try to do as many readings as possible. Everyone will gain insight from her wonderful caring manner and exceptional knowledge, skill, and understanding. Booksignings will follow the event .
About Carol Ritberger Ph.D.
Carol has been a practicing Medical Intuitive for more than 25 years and has extensive training in personality behavioral psychology and behavioral medicine. Carol's expertise is helping people understand how personality and emotional, psychological and spiritual energy can lie at the root cause of illness, disease, and life crises. Drawing on her interest in metaphysics and esoteric healing she weaves them together with biology, physiology, psychology, personality and psychospirituality, Carol is able to uncover the hidden contributors to illness in a credible and understandable way. Armed with this knowledge, a person is able to participate more effectively in their own healing and in helping other people heal themselves. Providing a more comprehensive picture of why we become ill and the blending of different healing perspectives is her soul's purpose.
Carol holds a doctorate in Religious Philosophy and a doctorate in Esoteric Philosophy and Hermetic Science. She is the co-founder and executive director of the Ritberger Institute for Esoteric Studies, which provides personal and professional development programs. One of Carol's many joys is teaching people how to acknowledge, trust, and develop their intuition so they're able to tap in to the inner wisdom and use that wisdom to heal their mind, body, and soul. She is the author of five books. Her work has been featured in print and on radio and television.

Saturday May 1 and Sunday May 2, 2010
"Light of the Body" Weekend Workshop
With Carol Ritberger, PhD. Medical Intuitive
Two Day Workshop
Saturday May 1, 2010 9:30 - 5:00 PM
Sunday May 2, 2010 9:30 - 5:00 PM
Surrounding each of us is a non-visible subtle light body, which through vibration interpenetrates the physical body and forms a living transformational field of consciousness. This light body, electromagnetic in nature, is rich in biological and biographical information and serves as a highly developed communication network making it possible for the soul, the mind, and the physical body to communicate with each other. It's the common interface through which we interact with everything both internally and externally. The light body is a hologram of the physical body and represents who we are in our purest form. As a communication network, the light body transmits, receives, and even stores energy-carrying information in the cellular structure of the physical body for future use. Think about it - every experience, every thought, every emotional reaction, and every aspect of who we are is just waiting for the right opportunity to reveal itself.
As a diagnostic tool, the light body identifies where in our physical body we're most susceptible to the formation of illness, and unlike the physical body reveals the origin site of illness. It also tells us what we need to do to restore good health. The light body is where all illness originates as pre-illness, and is where all true healing occurs.
This workshop is for anyone wanting a more in-depth understanding of the light body and who desires to access the information it contains. As a participant, you'll gain a deeper understanding of what the light body can tell you about yourself. You'll explore the language of energy and will discover some of the underlying emotional and psychological implications behind the more common illnesses. You'll learn how to scan your light body looking for the energy congestion, blockages, and depletions that can lie at the root cause of discomfort, muscle tension, distress, stress and pain. And, you'll learn chakra balancing techniques that will be helpful in restoring balance between your light body and your physical body.
Focus of the Workshop:
- Learn the language of energy and what it can tell us about ourselves and others.
- Explore the connection between energy, pre-illness, and illness.
- Look at the physiological and psychological characteristics of energy.
- Discuss the components of the light body and explore how they communicate with each other.
- Explore the chakra system and its role in illness.
- Identify how emotional, mental, and spiritual energy can affect the overall health of the physical body.
- Learn how to access the status of the light body.
- Learn how to restore balance when the light body and the physical body are not communicating with each other.

"I drove from Connecticut to shop with my girlfriends and we happened to stop here. It was so wonderful that we signed up for a weekend of workshops. We met very compassionate people at the workshops. It was so comfortable in the large and spacious classroom. The staff made it very special and served cookies and tea. We shopped and had all our books autographed and spent time talking with Peter Calhoun and his lovely partner. We will definitely sign up for many more events."
