CROSS CCOUNTR

OUNTRYY SKIING
Cross-country skiing is easy, especially under the experienced
guidance of top-notch instructors. Even if you’ve never been on
skis, you can enjoy the experience of gliding over the snow with
a speed that is both surprising & exhilarating. This type of skiing
was used as far back as the Vikings in Scandinavia. It’s been
used as a means of transportation in Europe during the winter
& has become increasingly popular in the United States during
the last ten years. Cross-country skiing is a great winter sport for
city dwellers. It gets you out of your house or apartment, allows
you to take advantage of the parks & forest preserves, and it’s
great exercise. It is also becoming an alternative to winter running-providing the same type of exercise with the added advantage of keeping you warm. It is a sport which exercises your
whole body while keeping your heart rate at a consistent level.
This class is “geared for both beginners & people who have
some skiing experience”. The trip includes roundtrip transportation (with complimentary coffee and donuts before you start
out) & ski fees (including lesson). The bus trip takes about an
hour, so most of your day will be spent at the club. Bring lunch
or purchase one at the club’s cafeteria or restaurant. Rental of
equipment comes to $10, including skis, poles & shoes. Don’t
get cabin fever this winter. Get out, keep in shape, meet new
friends & enjoy the city.

OUNTRYY SKIING
Cross-country skiing is easy, especially under the experienced guidance of top-notch instructors. Even if you’ve never
been on skis, you can enjoy the experience of gliding over
the snow with a speed that is both surprising & exhilarating.
This type of skiing was used as far back as the Vikings in
Scandinavia. It’s been used as a means of transportation in
Europe during the winter & has become increasingly popular in the United States during the last ten years. Cross-country
skiing is a great winter sport for city dwellers. It gets you out
of your house or apartment, allows you to take advantage of
the parks & forest preserves, and it’s great exercise. It is
also becoming an alternative to winter running-providing
the same type of exercise with the added advantage of keeping you warm. It is a sport which exercises your whole body
while keeping your heart rate at a consistent level. This class
is “geared for both beginners & people who have some skiing experience”. The trip includes roundtrip transportation
(with complimentary coffee and donuts before you start out)
& ski fees (including lesson). The bus trip takes about an
hour, so most of your day will be spent at the club. Bring
lunch or purchase one at the club’s cafeteria or restaurant.
Rental of equipment comes to $10, including skis, poles &
shoes. Don’t get cabin fever this winter. Get out, keep in
shape, meet new friends & enjoy the city.

SNOWBOARDING
Snowboarding is becoming more and more popular each
year. It is an exhilarating way to get a great workout in beautiful surroundings. If you have already mastered skateboarding (or surfing), you will find snowboarding relatively easy.
Even if you have had no prior experience, the expert instruction provided in this class will help get you started. The trip
includes roundtrip transportation (with complimentary coffee and donuts before you start out) & ski/snowboarding
fees (including slope fee, lesson & lift ticket). The bus trip
takes about an hour, so most of your day will be spent at the
club. Bring lunch or purchase one at the club’s cafeteria or
restaurant. Be prepared to give your height, weight, boot size,
and whether you are right, or left “foot forward” when you
register. The resort requires a $250 security deposit on a
credit card for the rental of the Snowboard.

DISCOVER WHO YOU WERE BORN
TO BE
67% of Americans are dissatisfied with their jobs - are you
one of them? We are all born genetically unique. We are also
born with special talents and abilities specific to each of us.
Unfortunately, due to social and cultural pressures, most
of us disconnect from those abilities at an early age. As a
result, most of us end up in occupations that are not satisfying and that do not bring us happiness. If we learn to
reconnect with those abilities, we will discover the occupation or career we were meant to be in. We will discover the
one career that will bring us happiness and wealth beyond
what we thought was possible. But how do we reconnect
with those abilities we were born with? Let the author of the
book, “Born to Be” show you how to:
• Reconnect with the abilities that make you a unique
person
• Turn your abilities into your dream career or business
• Manage your dream career or business so that it is a
success!

LOSE WEIGHT THROUGH HYPNOSIS
“How did you lose all that weight” is what friends may ask
after you take this course. Your unconscious mind already knows how you will peel away those unwanted
pounds. Dr. Stone helps you access your unconscious
intelligence & wisdom to accelerate your weight loss. If
you have said “I’m too weak to lose weight,” or “I don’t
have enough time to eat right,” or “I can’t stop myself from
eating” often enough, your unconscious will have accepted
these negatives as truth. The cure for negative self-hypnosis is positive self-hypnosis. If you hypnotized yourself to
gain weight, you can hypnotize yourself to lose it. “In 1983
I lost 50 pounds using hypnosis,” said Dr. Stone, “and I
have not gained any weight back since.” Dr. Jay Stone’s
innovative techniques and high success rate have
put him in the forefront of the growing mind-body
movement. Dr. Stone has twice received an American
Board of Hypnotherapy “Special Recognition Award.”
He is the author of Sacred Cycles, an original & practical non-fiction book that explains knowledge &
learning as the products of cycles. Dr. Stone produced
audio programs on a variety of mind-body subjects
and hosts Inner Quest, a Chicago-area cable television show.

sexual self-confidence. You’ll learn to avoid common pitfalls and
instead successully approach women, establish rapport, spark
attraction and arrange a date. Break through self-limiting beliefs
such as that women don’t go for men who don’t have money or
who are old or bald. If you hope to overcome shyness around
women, improve your dating options, and find yourself an amazing lover then sign up today.

to get an excellent head shot for yourself. Handouts include:
• Checklist of things you need to do.
• Photographer list.

INTRODUCTION TO TAROT

FUN AND EASY TARO
AROTT
Have you ever wondered how the Tarot works or why? Or whether
you could give a reading to a friend and watch it come true? The
Tarot is a very old Spiritual Tool, and since we are “Spirits Having
a Human experience” we all possess the ability to learn how to
use it.
In the course of this class, an introduction to Tarot, you will find
out about :
• The origin of Tarot
• The Major Arcana cards and their meanings
• Minor Arcana Cards and their meanings
• Lay out techniques
We will then practice - each student will give and
receive readings. Of course, practice makes perfect,
and here is a good START!
Prove it to yourself that you, too, can use and develop your own
spiritual abilities with a little help from the Tarot !
It starts with you!
