Sec N Sat Nov 19 2:30-5:00pm Class Fee: $49 2940 N Lincoln 1 session Tired of being a fat cow & want to be a skinny bitch? Learn how to conquer fat forever! You’re overweight for the simplest reasons - wrong foods, wrong types of calories per meal, meals in the wrong patterns each day. FOOD is more powerful than any prescription weight-loss pills, the FOOD you eat can make you THIN or FAT. You don’t get fat because of a lack of exercise, that’s a myth. You get fat because you don’t eat the right foods at the right intervals daily. Stop diets loaded with artificial processed “franken-foods” that enrich the agro-medical-chemical industries but keep you fat, sick and sad. People aren’t losing weight by switching to low fat lifestyles. Here is what science says: The low-carb, high-fat Atkins diet beat other diets in a larege head-tohead study. Still, the results showed how hard it is to lose weight and keep it off. Overweight women on Atkins lost more weight over a year than those on the low-carb diet, with better blood pressure and cholesterol levels. “The study shows that Atkins may be more healthful than critics contend,” says the lead author, a Stanford researcher. Get the facts to help you create a diet that is based upon your unique DNA as a human...we are not cows, we are skinny bitches! Learn a plan designed to help YOU get to YOUR best weight. Come and get the real deal about food, fat and freedom!

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, self-reflection, 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.

You will have the opportunity to see the parts of Chicago that those in the know would prefer you not see. Visit the cheap, but unique dives and the more colorful emporiums of entertainment. See the dark and forbidden side that the City of Big Shoulders supports, hidden in the shadows and the backways, places not included in the conventional cultural tours. Each tour is different and may provide the chance to dabble with pagans and magicians, dally with fetishists and get friendly with the non-conformists who never make it into the regular tours. Your guide will open the doors normally locked to those without the right connections to get in. This is the Chicago you will have to see to believe, because unless you’re seeking out the obscure, you won’t read or hear about it without your guide to its wild side. Time does not always permit leisurely food stops, so it’s recommended that you eat beforehand.
