Personal Growth Through Sandplay with Barbara Tosti Sandplay is a therapeutic technique that focuses on health and growth, and is also used to facilitate personal growth in non-therapeutic settings. You choose objects from a collection of hundreds of miniatures to create a world in a tray of sand. Then you experience your world and explore it while I witness and facilitate. During the exploration process, most people discover far more than their conscious mind was aware of during the building process. I will provide pictures of your world and a typed record of what you say about it for your own reference and further reflection. Plan on 1 to 1 ½ hours to experience the process fully. 1 0 000100.0 100 .0001E7 10

Wines of the Seventh Army California Dreamin’ Wine Tasting
It’s no secret that the quality of California wines has improved dramatically since Robert Mondavi introduced an alternative to jug wines in the 1960’s. Since that time, the styles and varieties of California wines have improved to the point that they’re comparable to those of France. We’ll taste a selection of red and white wines from the vineyards of Napa County to the vineyards of the central coast. Wines will be accompanied by appetizers featuring California’s renowned produce and by the good vibrations of classic California rock.

Investment Advice Are your investments doing all that they can for you? How much of your portfolio is in stocks, bonds, and other types of investments)? This allocation is one of the most important determinants of your investment returns. But most people don’t really know what % of their portfolio is in each type of asset. You may have a portfolio that is too aggressive for your situation and taking too much risk, or too conservative and missing out on returns that could help your savings grow. Susan Moore, CFP®, will analyze your current portfolio, help you determine whether/how you need to shift your investment strategy, and provide investment recommendations. 1 0 000400.0 400 .0015E7 150
