Jeff Wein is a multi-talented Gemini (Pisces rising, Libra moon), an adult child of the sixties whose explorations of consciousness led him to the ecstatic possibilities of physical intimacy. Jeff has studied Tantra with three of the best-known American masters, and has drawn on these and other sources to create the unique approach and content of « the Loving Spirit » workshop.  Jeff has lead personal growth workshops in three languages on four continents over the last fifteen years.

A childhood spent in beatnik circles and a nomadic existence in Europe, the United States, and the south Pacific, followed by art school (right-brain) did little to prepare Géralde Carpentier  [Libra, Scorpio rising, moon in Aquarius] for a twenty-five year career as a corporate executive (left-brain). The common thread in her rich and tumultuous life is her passion for that extraordinary experience we call Life, for personal growth, and for a connection with powerful subtle energies, passions that led her to Tantra.

Together they lead « the Loving Spirit » workshop, a transformational experience for couples who want to create deeper, richer, more intimate relationships.  Over the course of three full days, Jeff and Geraldine teach dozens of techniques, exercises, and activities that help couples overcome disharmony in order to create relationships where true intimacy (physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual) is the goal and the outcome.  Over the past ten years, primarily in Europe, « the Loving Spirit » workshop has helped hundred of couples rekindle love and respect in their relationships. 

In the winter of 2009 and the spring of 2010, « the Loving Spirit » workshop will make its American debut.  Jeff also leads « letters of fire », the Hebrew letters and the Kabbalah, a personal growth workshop that explores an ancient mystical tradition with the intent of relating age-old wisdom to the challenges of life in the 21st century.

After 35 years of studying and practicing modalities that produce instant change, Jillian O'hara combines and utilizes NLP, Life Coaching and Theta Healing in her sessions which is the fastest and easiest way to make permanent, lasting and effective change in your life.  

Theta Healing is a fascinating healing technique which allows you through the art of muscle testing to understand what your subconscious mind really believes.  You learn how to harness the power of the Theta brain wave which gives you the ability to rewire the brain and reprogram it in order to grow new neural pathways which results in specific, changed, measurable, positive behavior in your life.  The primary power of experiencing Theta Healing is that you have the potential to LET GO of many of your past traumas, upsets and fears.  Learning Theta Healing gives you the possibility to change fundamental beliefs and feelings that have been holding you back. Embrace new and empowering ways to approach your life. 

As a Life Coach, Jillian helps you identify beliefs that stop you from getting what you want.  According to the International Coach Federation, hiring a Life Coach accelerates a person's success by 70%.  What is stopping you?  Are you lacking focus, direction or purpose?  Do you feel overwhelmed or unbalanced?  Are you settling for less than your full potential?  Need to stop a bad habit?  Too much stress?  Are you in a life transition?  Jillian will help you discover your unique gifts, develop the courage to take risks, and identify your true purpose in life. 

The first session is FREE.  All sessions can be done over the phone, in person or using SKYPE.
