Esoterica Continues to Improve

Slowly but surely we are recovering here in Sterling. The store is more and more under control, and we are getting small improvements made and putting our stamp on things. All of the business signs are now up - and the Classroom is ready to go into Full Employment Mode. We have Mindfulness Meditation on Tuesdays, Belly Dancing for Fitness on Wednesdays, Pagan Path Meetings on Thursdays... A Lifestyle Coaching class begins this coming Sunday to help you realize your dreams and create a daily strategy for organizing yourself and creating positive change in your life. There will be Past Life Regression classes coming up, and Group Hypnosis classes, plus a Handwriting Analysis Class (and more.) We will also start hosting a Writer's group this month. So much excitement, so much potential for growth and new directions! Check out our website for all the details, an online Calendar and contact/payment information for many of our activities and events.
