PAST LIVES REGRESSION, ETC.

GORDON, RICHARD

A past life regression can be informative, it can be humorous, it can be sad, it can be happy. You can find out who you were and what you did and whether you were male or female. If you had any skills in a past life that you would like to bring forward into this lifetime it is possible. The class is fun and interesting for participants and on lookers. The only requirements are an open mind and the willingness and ability to be hypnotized. Those who can visualize will have a more moving experience. All regressions will be discussed by the class. Tape recorders and video cameras are welcome with the agreement of those involved with the regression. The instructor is certified through the National Guild of Hypnotists and a member of the Hypnotists Union.

WILD MUSHROOM HUNTING

ELLIOTT, TED

They are among the most mysterious of life forms, the flowers of the earth. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet - all the colors of the rainbow, and more, there on the forest floor. Less than 1% are dangerously poison, and we'll learn these first, along with the toxin groups. Then we'll put the fun into fungi, by doing spore prints, ID's, and hunting mushrooms around the school grounds. Where would we be without wine, cheese, penicillin, bread, and beer? You get the picture. We'll study all families, and as many genera as time allows. ID class only. Note: I've been studying mushrooms off and on for 22 years and I'm still around! You'll need Audubon's Field Guide to North American Mushrooms, a hand lens or magnifier, notebook, basket or paper bag for collecting.
