T

Laura Strong, president and founder of Metamorphosis, says, “We are thrilled with the caliber of speakers that have taken an interest in Metamorphosis, and feel we have an extremely powerful and dynamic lineup of thought-provoking and inspiring content to enrich people’s lives and enhance their well-being.” The Metamorphosis Center provides opportunities for people to explore their


potential, exchange ideas and make positive shifts in their lives. “The power of personal reflection is one of the seed ideas that led me to create the Metamorphosis Center, a company dedicated to possibilities and to helping others make positive changes in their lives,” Strong says. “I wanted to create a place for people facing everyday challenges where they could find support, resources and inspiration.”


Cost: $20 per session. Location: 1301 Cliff Rd., Ste. 105, Burnsville. For more infor- mation or to register, call 612-730-2250 or visit TheMetamorphosisCenter.net. See ad, page 7.


Open House at Northwestern Academy of Homeopathy


T


he Northwestern Academy of Homeopathy and the Minnesota Center for Homeopathy will host an open house from 5 to 9 p.m. on May 8, in St. Louis Park. Participants can join in one of the mini-classes on Ho-


meopathic First Aid, Spring Cleanse Detox, or Day in the Life of a Homeopathic Student. Chair massages, energy work, food and beverages also will be available. Homeopathy is the second most commonly used


medicine in the world. It is a gentle and safe, yet powerful form of healing. Homeopa- thy treats the individual, not the disease, and a well-chosen remedy can help stimulate vitality and health. Many people with such conditions as chronic ear infections, skin disorders, bedwetting, arthritis and anxiety have found relief with homeopathy. Northwestern Academy, started in 1995, has graduated hundreds of homeopathic


practitioners. Classes meet once per month for a four-day weekend over a period of four years. Faculty members, experienced in both teaching and clinical practice, operate a low-cost clinic for the community staffed by faculty-supervised students and graduates. Minnesota Center for Homeopathy, one of the largest homeopathic clinics in the


country, houses the private practices of 12 homeopaths and two energy workers. These practitioners will be available at the open house to answer questions about homeopathy.


Location: 7104 Lake St. W., St. Louis Park (near the intersection of Hwy. 7 and Louisiana Ave.). For more information, call 952-224-9292 or visit HomeoVista.org.

Lisa Bobyak


be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on May 14 and 18 at Interfaith Outreach and Community Partners, in Plymouth. The classes can be taken individually or together.


“I will guide the group through the process of aligning what we do with what we believe, so that we begin to create the balanced life we crave,” says Bobyak. Bobyak will be joined by Wendy Neu and Sheila Bauer. Neu, owner of Crossroads Coaching and Consulting, in Minneapolis, will help participants discover a new paradigm for their work, money and lives. Bauer, founder and director of Circle Mind Body Med- icine, in Chaska, will speak about the science behind mindfulness, explain how mind-body skills affect health and lead the group through simple, power- ful exercises. “There’s power in the group,” says


Bobyak. “Many of us work individually on improving our health. But when a safe space is created, and like-minded people are gathered, that’s when I’ve seen the greatest growth take place.”
