Sensitives, Psychics and Empaths, Oh My: The Challenge of Extraordinary Perception

Saturday August 14th
12:30-2:30pm
$25.00, please pre-register through Isis
Isis Metaphysical Books and Gifts, 2775 S Broadway, Englewood

Have you been told you were "too sensitive"? Can you be over-stimulated by sensory or psychic stimuli? Do you appreciate art, music, performance, fine food and other sensual experiences with keen pleasure? Do you find being in groups to be challenging because you are bombarded by other people's thoughts or energies? Do you cry at sad movies?

If you interact with the world in these -- or similar -- ways, you are probably part of the 20% of the population that are Sensitives. Come take Dr. Aron's short quiz and learn about the gifts, challenges and strategies -- both practical and metaphysical -- of living with extraordinary perception.

Jackie is a sensitive, psychic and empath who is writing a book about this topic. She has worked as a psychotherapist, spiritual counselor and psychic. Please fill out her questionnaire if you would like to contribute to her research.

Becoming an Empowered Empath

Saturday, August 28th
3:30 to 5:30pm
$25.00, please pre-register through Isis
Isis Metaphysical Books and Gifts 2775 S Broadway, Englewood

If you feel others' emotions or pain, if you take on their illnesses or problems, if you are a natural mimic or chameleon, or if you have problems separating your sense of self from that of others, you may be an empath.

Because empaths naturally connect energetically with others, they tend to face boundary challenges. Many empaths are seeking information and tools to better fit into a world where they feel like oddballs. This class will discuss the specific gifts and difficulties of being an empath in more detail than in the more general Sensitives class.

Come learn the three perceptual positions -- Self, Other and Observer -- and how to switch between them. We'll discuss metaphysical and psychological techniques for healthy separation, including disassociation techniques, psychic shielding and energetic cleansing.

Jackie knows many empaths, as they are common in metaphysical and healing communities, and she is one herself. Jackie pulls from her metaphysical and therapeutic backgrounds to explore this topic. She enjoys exploring the areas where the psyche and the psychic overlap.

Psychic Self-Defense

Saturday, September 11th
3 to 5:30pm
$25.00, please pre-register

Isis Metaphysical Books and Gifts, 2775 S Broadway, Englewood

Many spiritual folks have trouble with taking on thoughts, feelings or energies that are not theirs. Psychic self-defense techniques can offer ways to learn healthier psychic boundaries and to keep negativity and curses at bay.

Let us discuss and practice techniques for psychic shielding, cleansing and energy retrieval. We will discuss how the chakras relate to psychic self-defense; assertiveness and building ego strength; attachments, possessions and energy vampires; grounding, soul retrieval and shamanic recapitulation. We will also discuss techniques for exploring our own Shadow issues around these areas.

These techniques are also useful for psychics, energy healers and anyone opening up their psychic abilities or doing out-of-body travel.

Jackie is a High Priestess of the Wicca and a professional psychic and healer.

Home Cleansing and Protection

Saturday, September 25th
12:30 to 2:30pm
$25.00, please pre-register
Isis Metaphysical Books and Gifts, 2775 S Broadway, Englewood

It's a good practice to cleanse, bless and seal a dwelling or workplace when first moving in, or a longtime habitation or workplace after a divorce, burglary, tragedy, etc.

Cleansing and blessing is also useful when there are troubling incidents with negative energies in a home. Perhaps these energies were left behind from previous inhabitants. Perhaps an individual in the household is going through mental, emotional or physical stress -- or a psychic opening -- and is unconsciously attracting hurtful or parasitic entities.

Maybe the home is haunted or is a portal for energetic entities from other planes of existence. Whatever the cause of the uninvited visitations, if the "unemployed astral entities" or uninvited human energies are creating harm, they must be removed.

In this class we will cover basic home cleansing, blessing and sealing techniques. We will explore different approaches to banishing unwanted energies, the importance of learning mental/emotional control to stop feeding parasites, the use of protective spirit guides/animal totems/archangels or Gods/Goddesses for protection and when it might be time to call in an expert.

Jackie fields questions about this subject often enough at Isis that she thought it might be good to teach a class on the subject. Even if no haunting or invasion is taking place, it makes for a calmer and happier home to keep negativity and "things that go bump in the night" at a distance. Jackie is a High Priestess of the Wicca and has been working in metaphysical areas for almost 30 years.

Hypnosis, Meditation and Altered States: Finding the Guidance Within

Sunday, October 3rd
12:30 to 2:30pm
$25.00, please pre-register through Isis
  Isis Metaphysical Books and Gifts, 2775 S Broadway, Englewood

The altered state of mind that we call meditative state, trance state or hypnotic state is common to all human races and cultures, and an important part of most religious or spiritual practices. These trance states help us to learn relaxation and stress reduction. They give us access to our creativity and core beliefs, to our innate healing wisdom, to our psychic and magical powers, to past lives, to other planes of existence and to the realm of spirit guides and gods.

What are the altered states? How do we enter trance in free, easy, safe and everyday ways that are drug and alcohol free? How do we learn to go in and out of them at will? Come get some background on this topic and experience three different meditation techniques for accessing the state of mind that connects you with the Divine.

Jackie has taught meditation and self-hypnosis and led hundreds of guided journeys. She has over a thousand hours training as a hypnotherapist and uses trance induction techniques as a spiritual therapist, priestess and healer.

The True Meaning of Halloween

Saturday, October 30th,
1 to 3pm
this class is taught by donation, $1.00 minimum requested to pay for the handouts
please pre-register through Isis
Isis Metaphysical Books and Gifts, 2775 S Broadway, Englewood

Come explore the history of Halloween, including discussion of Samhain, the New Year's Eve of the ancient Celtic peoples of Europe. Come hear of the old rituals and symbols of Samhain, when the veil between the worlds was thin -- a good time to contact the spirits of the dead. Hear how the customs of wearing costumes, lighting jack o' lanterns and trick or treating began. And how the both the Ku Klux Klan and the Boy Scouts contributed to our modern celebration of Halloween. We'll share examples of traditional games of divination, and of some particularly clever tricks. Lots of handouts are included.

Jackie is a High Priestess of the Wicca, sometimes called the witches. As a child, Halloween was always her favorite holiday. Even today she produces the Witches' Ball each Samhain. She taught this class for several years through Colorado Free University.

Past Life Regression

Sunday, November 7th
2 to 4:30pm
$25.00, please pre-register through Isis
  Isis Metaphysical Books and Gifts, 2775 S Broadway, Englewood

Come explore different theories of reincarnation, past lives and karma -- some ancient and some new. We'll discuss some useful applications of past life regression for spiritual information, healing or finishing up old karmic issues. We'll experience a group past life regression and perhaps a demonstration one-on-one regression, if time allows. If you would prefer to have your past life journey lying down, rather than sitting, bring a yoga mat or blanket with you to class.

Jackie is a High Priestess of the Wicca. She has over a thousand hours training as a hypnotherapist and has led many past life regressions as a spiritual therapist, priestess and healer. She is the psychic reader at Isis on Thursdays and Fridays.

Beginning Candle Magic

One of the simplest and oldest magical tools is the candle. Candles can be burnt offerings -- gifts to the world of Spirit, or the smoke and flame can carry our prayers or intentions to the ears of the Gods. We'll explore the ethics of spell-casting; the symbology of color; the role of relaxation and mental focus; working with inscriptions, pictures or objects attached to your candle; working with herbs or essential oils; working with God, Goddess, Angel or Saint archetypes; pre-blessed candles; dressing and charging your own candle; working with the phases of the moon; words of power; and double candle spells. Please bring two candles with you -- one for practice and one for spellwork -- a sharp penknife or pen, and a little vegetable oil or an essential oil with which to dress them.

Jackie is a High Priestess of the Wicca who taught this class to her beginning students. She knows that mood-enhancing colors, evocative smells, sensual textures, the flickering flame and the ritual preparation of the candle, all speak to our unconscious mind and to the realm of Spirit.

Interpretive Tarot Reading

The elements of an interpretive tarot reading include the archetypal, numerological and elemental meanings of each card, the cards' placement in a particular spread, the contextual influence of the cards on each other and received psychic information. Blending all this together in an interpretive reading is an art that takes some practice to learn. Jackie will talk about these elements, ask for a volunteer and then demonstrate a real-time, annotated reading. She hopes that it will be informative and interesting to see how a professional reader combines all these elements while doing an interpretive reading. Bring along any deck based on the Rider-Waite tarot if you'd like to follow along with your own deck.

Jackie has been reading professionally for over 25 years, has taught tarot classes and is the Thursday and Friday psychic reader at Isis.

Learn to Use the Pendulum

The Pendulum is one of the simplest divinatory tools to use. In this class, learn the basics of Pendulum Divination, including: picking up energy fields from plants, animals or gemstones; penduling for nutrition; getting yes or no answers; the pendulum and the ouija board; the similarity to muscle testing and dowsing; how to pick your pendulum for purchase and penduling as an adjunct to other divinatory tools. Most pendant necklaces can be used as a pendulum, even a key or a ring on a string. Most metaphysical stores have a nice selection of pendulums for sale. Bring something with you that you can use as a pendulum in this class.

Jackie is a High Priestess of the Wicca and a professional psychic and healer. She has taught psychic development classes for years through metaphysical stores and at Colorado Free University.
