Though long abandoned in the West it began a resurgence in the 20th century under Sigmund Freud. But it was his “crowned prince” CarlGustav Jung who first seriously collected thousands of dreams and wrote about how their powerful images and symbols influence and guide us. Learn how you too, can come to understand what these images mean for you and how to harness the power of dreams for perpetual inspiration, selfreflection, problem solving, and the cultivation of your inner life. Following the techniques of Jung and his many followers, this class will give you a solid background in dream interpretation, frequent themes and their possible meanings, as well as tools to use that will let you decipher the often baffling but powerful images and what they can do for you.

This exclusive event was developed by Gail Prince, critically acclaimed author, speaker and relationship expert sharing her Ten Commandments for first coffee dates. By showing how to be approachable, use verbal and non-verbal love signals and engage in small talk, coffee daters are able to circulate and percolate with greater ease during this provocative evening. CoffeeMating is a series of ongoing, fast, FIVE minute one-to-one exchanges or “mini dates.” Throughout the evening, men and women pair off, talk for a short, limited time, and then “snowball” and move on to the next potential “date.” Some call it romantic musical chairs, and others call it speed-dating. After each date, coffee daters fill in a “yes” or “no” on their date cards. If the attraction is mutual, a match is made. CoffeeMating is an organized, low pressure setting that appeals to many weary of bars and large social events. It eliminates the awkwardness of asking for a telephone number or feeling pressure to give a number, and it provides a sure-fire way to meet many people in a short period of time. CoffeeMating gives new meaning to the expression, “Let’s meet over a cup of coffee!” Facilitator: Sarah Pickett. CoffeeMating takes place at Cosi coffee house and sandwich bar. Cosi, which stands for comfortable, friendly, and of course, cozy, is the perfect sophisticated atmosphere for CoffeeMating. Located at 230 W. Washington (corner of Washington and Franklin). After 6 p.m. some street parking, self-parking garage next to Cosi.
