Dearly Beloveds,

Consider this invitation as one that comes from my heart - to yours. I met Laurel about a year ago when I found her work on "WORD MAGIC." Since then, we have become good friends. I am pleased to promote her gatherings on to my community, family, and friends. She is a wonderful Poet who has woven her work with words into workshops, and "shows" that she offers here in Portland. This weekend she will be at Sacred Money Institute performing a rare piece, "the wRITES of PASSION."

Admission is a suggested donation of 15$, and she is willing to do a sliding scale. I stamp my quality assurance seal of approval that if you come, open minded, open hearted, and willing to receive - you will walk away with seeds and fruits worth the money you spend. The exchange will be fair, righteous and equal. I'm linking a short youtube video of hers here so you can get a feel for her style and prose. Hope to see you. - JT
