Author To Teach Conscious Communication, & The Secrets Of Happiness, In Ellington
C
ary Bayer, a New York- and south Florida-based life coach who’s worked with Oscar winner Alan Arkin, David Steinberg, and Quality Inns, will come to Ellington to help people communicate more consciously and effectively, and to offer a 40-day program for finding happiness. The workshop leader will offer his “Conscious Communication” class on Saturday July 23rd from 11 AM—1 PM, at Spirit Matters, at 19 Pinney St., and follow that with “40 Days to a Happy Life,” the title of his most recent book, from 2—4:30 PM, at the holistic center. The cost for each class is $20, when paid by July 16, and $30 after. A nationally known seminar leader, Bayer will draw from his books, Relationships 101 and Communications Breakthroughs, to teach vital techniques that show how to speak and listen effectively. He shows how to safely tell the truth quickly and kindly, and to stop withholding communications that we really need to make. The workshop also offers regular exercises that enable you to get closer to the important people in your personal life, as well as to colleagues at work.

Still Waters Offers Open House to Group Leaders
till Waters, an emerging retreat center, is hosting an open house on Saturday, July 9 at 11:30 am to conduct tours and discuss op- portunities for group leaders who may want to rent the facilities for their own workshops and retreats. Lunch will be served and RSVP is required. Still Waters is an emerging retreat center nestled among 100 acres of pine forest and a private-10-acre pond. Comfortable, rustic lodging includes a two-bedroom, furnished cottage with full kitchen (sleeps four), Guest House (sleeps 10) and 1200-sq.ft. Art & Yoga Studio. Still Waters is smoke-free, alcohol-free and media free, pro- viding a comfortable and local escape from hectic, modern living for leaders, groups and families. Originally founded in 1968 by the LaBossiere family, Still Waters began its new chapter in 2010 with Tao LaBossiere and Amy Mielke as the visionaries for this conscious retreat center. Cottage One was restored last year, and the Guest House and Art & Yoga Studio were restored this Spring. This summer, three cottages and a sauna are under renovation. Every dollar earned goes back into the property for continued restoration initiatives. “We are so excited to present this beautiful space for experi- enced professionals,” Mielke said, “and to foster the evolution of humanity by holding space for retreats that promote healing and creativity.” Tao LaBossiere is a multi-disciplined, award-winning artist, spe- cializing in murals, custom wall finishes, illustration and sculpture. Tao was educated at Hartford Art School and is the owner of Fine Art Painting, LLC, a greater Hartford company since 1992. He has been the volunteer director of the Hartford ArtSpace Gallery since 1998. Tao grew up at Still Waters where his family hosted guests from Bos- ton and New York City. Amy Mielke is an award-winning outsider artist and strategic marketing consultant. She holds a BFA in Communication Arts with a specialization in public relations and a Master of Arts in Conscious Evolution. She is currently pursuing a certificate in Holistic Health Coaching.
