There has never been a more favorable time to make a SHIFT then with the new energies of 2012. We all play an important role in shifting the planet and it all begins by shifting YOU. Join us again for another exciting day of personal growth and inspiration.
As this is the third SHIFT Charlotte, you might be wondering;
Can they make it fresh?
Will it still be interesting?
What are they going to do this year?
We outgrew our last space (as those of you that squished in with us certainly know) so a new and larger venue was needed and we found one at a convenient location that will allow us to offer:
Three times the number of vendors compared to last year, bringing you what you need to fill your body, mind and spirit.
More readers and practitioners to help you illuminate your path.
More health and wellness opportunities
New teachers that will SHIFT you down to your soul.
And of course more of you to share the wonder of this journey that we are all on together
Early Bird Ticket Special - $5off per ticket until January 31st

So sit back and enjoy a quick 5 minute learning experience that may have you interested in a new discipline.
FULL MOON on January 9th - 18° Cancer
The first Full Moon of 2012 falls in its own sweet sign of Cancer. With the Moon’s rulership of Cancer there is even more power here. Cancer is super emotional so don’t be surprised if you are more emotional or even weepy on this day. The influence of the Moon can be felt for up to three days before hand and even three days afterwards. Capricorns will struggle a bit more with this Moon. It’s a good day to stay home and clean house or be with family. Do some redecorating. Your emotional reactions are going to be quick and strongly felt. As a nation we may be dealing with some financial situation that is not of our making. All of your emotional needs come out to play today and believe me, it’s not always pretty. People become much weepy and if you are having any kind of serious discussion with someone – bring tissues. But Cancer also rules food and it’s the perfect time to reassess your diet. Make some New Year changes that will bring you benefits all year long. Go out to dinner with a friend and make healthy food choices. You will feel more powerful and in control.
NEW MOON on January 23rd 2012 - 2° Aquarius
This New Moon comes to fullness under stress from both Saturn and Jupiter. Talk about confusion. It is not a good time to make any permanent decisions. If at all possible wait until after the 26th of January. Things will seem much clearer. Aquarius loves people and rules friendships, so make plans with your friends and enjoy each others company. It is certainly a get-out-of-the-house energy. As much as the Full Moon wanted to stay home, the New Moon wants to get out. It’s time to connect with other people. You are looking to join new groups and be bold in your ideas, words and actions. Sometimes Aquarius likes to say or do something just for the shock value so be sure you know what you are saying. Speaking impulsively can cause problems right now. You don’t want to walk into your boss’s office and tell them what you think of them and storm out. Take a deep breath and find an alternative. The sign of the Water Bearer can be very idealistic and most people will be looking at their humanitarian ideals. Take some time to sit down and write out your ideals for 2012. Because of the detached tone of the Aquarius Moon you can look at your own behaviors with a clear eye. Decide what you need to change in your life and get busy doing it.

Romanticism and Sacred Embodiment as the Fuel for Sacred Leadership and Global Activism

“The romantic spirit is our connection with all the women and men throughout history who refuse to give up their ideals, their sacred longing and their passion. The romantic spirit in us is the fire of the divine fueling our courage and our ability to build a world that is just and sustainable. By accessing and developing the romantic spirit in us not only do we empower our stance in the world but we nurture our dance with each other and our daily celebration of eternal beauty.” - Chris Saade

This intensive course will provide cutting-edge teaching drawing on the great spiritual, religious and psychological traditions of the world. It also will include the review of powerful DVDs, ample discussion, time-tested practices for community and global fellowship- building, journaling and reflection time, socio-dramatic sculpting, and movement to embody these seminal ideas.
