Don't throw out something no longer in style, recreate it. Save from dumping into the landfills, save your money. I will teach you to paint an old lamp, a piece of furniture, update your kitchen or bathroom cabinets, etc.

Publishers and editors are welcome, or if your just new in town and want to hear local writ …

Feeling Arranging is a primitive form of Shamanism, which is nature based and very ancient. It’s about finding our original self through arranging our feelings. This group is for the adventurous and the fearless. Feeling Arranging is uniquely different from the shamanism and healing methods we know such as journeying, soul retrieval and meditation. We use darkness as a positive force to heal ourselves and to connect with our ancestors and nature. Like a seed needs a dark place to incubate before …
