Happy Full Moon to all!

February has always been that in-between kind of month that gets me looking forward to Spring. With time appearing to move ever more swiftly by, the extra day due to Leap Year this year gives me one more day to create my plans for the new season as well as the rest of the year. I also find that February is the perfect time to think about getting away, making it an excellent time to arrange your next great escape or journey. With tonight not only being the night of a Full Moon, but a Lunar Eclipse as well, this has certainly put me in gear for new dreams and manifesting. We've come up with some terrific ways to help inspire you to dream and manifest in this month's edition such as, a fascinating feature tour, an outstanding new journey, an inspiring photography book and contest, and more...

Our Feature Tour this month is A Multidimensional Journey through Egypt, October 16 - 26, 2008, with author, artist, and spiritual healer, Ivan Rados. Explore the hidden secrets of Sacred Geometry while immersing yourself in the mystical energies and history of Egypt's great ancient civilization. The journey begins with a two day healing workshop on Architecture of Infinite Consciousness and Healing with Sacred Geometry and is followed by visits to some of Egypt's most enigmatic sites. Enter the Great Pyramid for a private visit and initiation ceremony in the King's Chamber, cruise down the Nile, receive one-on-one spiritual guidance with Ivan, and experience the magic and mystery of Egypt in a transformative way.
