Beginning Spiritual Work

• "Auras - How to See, Read & Interpret" with Rev. Doti Boon
  Thursday, January 20, 7:00pm - 9:00pm
       Rev. Doti is the consummate Aura reading and decoding instructor.  First, she has been teaching aura reading for over 30 years.  Second, she genuinely enjoys teaching aura reading; she is gentle and patient with everyone.
       Absolutely no pressure, if you do or don’t see an aura no problem, but, most people do learn and are able to see an aura the first time. We sometimes see other incarnations and occasionally E.T.s.
       It’s first come, first serve. Get there early to sign up to have your aura read.
