I've seen a variety of healers of all types over the years with varying results. Zen's healing sessions are powerful, and I definitely feel different (and better) after she's worked on me. During the sessions, I've experienced a variety of strange and interesting phenomena. Sometimes I see a blob of purple light swirling around in the forefront of my "minds eye". Sometimes I feel very light and other times like I'm sinking into the earth. She has assured me that this is all normal and is just the experience of energy moving and shifting. My favorite sensation is when it feels like my body has disappeared and I drift in and out of a very dreamlike state. It is deeply relaxing and I feel lighter for days afterward. Zen is intuitive, gentle, wise, and well-versed in energy medicine. I'm grateful for the work she's done with me and the obstacles she's helped me clear from my path. If you are ready to make a change in your life and shift into a healthier state of being, I would recommend Zen's healing sessions.

For a detailed look at what Rites of Passage is really all about, PLEASE see their website, I…read morepromise you won't be disappointed. As you read this, you will likely get really jealous you did not attend this camp as a kid, or now. I know I have in working with them the last few months. Don't Fret!! they have adult programs too! My story of ROP is much more personal. Through an amazing gift of scholarship and some pretty amazing yelpers who volunteered their wallets and yards (for slave labor--props to Wil L , Dawn R, Jim C) and donated equipment (props to Don L), my three youngest children were able to attend summer camp adventures through ROP this year. The staff at ROP is, literally and without exaggeration; amazing. They are passionate, committed, helpful, and knowledgeable. Special thanks to Jason, Darcy, Julie, Drue, Emily, and the other mentors who accompanied my kids on their various adventures. The first to go was Selena, on her Call to Adventure. On drop off day, gathered in a circle, playing quick "get to know you" games, the mentors of ROP discuss with the children what a "call" is, and what is a "hero"? At the appropriate time, goodbye is made a little easier as the kids hear their mentors "calling" (as in howling, clapping, cheering and banging drums) from the woods and excitedly go running off to find them (parents, exit stage left). A week later, Selena returned FULL of excitement, stories of her adventures and already EAGER to attend next year. Junior was next, on his Apprenticeship journey. For the younger kids, the send off allowed much more "mommy tear up" time. During the send off circle, we were given small pieces of wood, planed thin in the middle. Junior wrote his name on one side, and the names of all the people he was leaving behind (mom, sisters, brothers, grandma) on the other. We then snapped it in two, me taking the Junior side, him taking the family side and tying it to the walking stick provided by ROP. So he could take his family "with" him on his journey. Finally, this last Sunday, the most difficult for me. Sending Michelle off on her 3 week Coming of Age trip. Designed for the difficult late tween and early teen years. The send off here was out of this world amazing. For 3 1/2 hours we did gear check, get to know you circles, then..the good stuff. First, the parents made plaster casts of their children's faces-masks- for their trip. The kids will decorate them with things of their childhood. Then while out on the trip, fill them with plaster to make a sculpture of their face. During a ceremony they will "shed" their childhood and through the masks into the fire together. Then decorate the new solid sculpture mask, not as children, but as youth and who they want to be for their future. At goodbye time, we held red ribbons between us as we talked and said goodbye. The mentors, now dressed like Ravens, came whooping and howling out of the woods and cut the ribbons in two and carried off the children...not to be seen again until they are "grown" from their journey. It is hard not to worry how my kids would do, this was no "pillow fights in a cabin" summer camp. This was back country back packing slogging everything you had and needed on your back. This was REAL hiking, camping and learning time. Knowing they are in the loving, capable hands of the ROP staff, made my fears turn from worry to excitement. In me, they have made a fan for life.

Seattle's thing is grassroots efforts, and Global Visionaries (GV) is a great example of great…read moresuccess from a small start. GV is different to me in that it leads service trips, like many other organizations, but unlike them, has a high rate of continuing alumni involvement. They've grown from serving a few students, to serving hundreds a year. I'd definitely recommend checking out their website if you want to find out more. http://global-visionaries.org/index.php From a Yelp perspective, GV is actually a great place to get Fair Trade coffee that not only benefits sustainable coffee growers in Guatemala, but actually supports a student-run (fresh out of high school I think) business in Guatemala. The business, Espresso De Esperanza, routinely ships fresh batches of coffee to GV (you won't be able to buy directly from Esperanza, as they have a minimum 300 pound order requirement. But then again, maybe you're just that hyper :)). GV has pound bags of coffee available for purchase, and you can find info about this as well through their site. The final Yelp-related thing about GV is their annual auction. It takes place once a year in May, and is a great place not only to go support their work, but also to find some great steals on things you need, from gifts to vacations. Check them out!

After I was checked in, I wasn't taken to the pre-screen room until 45 minutes after my appointment. Once pre-screening was completed, then I had to wait again because all of the beds were full! I finally began my donation one hour after my scheduled appointment time. Why were so many people able to schedule appointments around the same timeframe?? I'm happy to donate considering the blood shortage, but I was about ready to walk out. All of the employees were nice and apologetic about the wait time. I honestly feel bad for how overloaded their workload was. It's unfortunate that donating took OVER an hour, which is going to be a major deterrent when it comes time to donate again in the future.
