Greetings everyone!
I hope you're staying warm and taking time to slow down and connect with yourself and your love ones during this busy holiday season. Here's a short quote from Rumi:
“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the earth.”
I hope you can find your way of expressing your love this holiday season.
Tomorrow I'm offering a short three-hour Holiday Stress Relief class. Come by if you want to relax, get a 'mini-retreat' and learn some self-hypnosis tools to stay calm through the Holidays.
Below are the details for that class and a few other upcoming events that I'm involved with. Hope to see you out and about!
Warm regards – Patrick

Solstice Trance Drumming and Intuitive Self-exploration – Missoula
Saturday, December 21st – 6:30 until 9:30 PM. – Cost – $35
Join Patrick Marsolek for a focused, intentional evening of inner exploration to mark the change of seasons. Through the rhythm of the drum we gain access to deeper parts of ourselves and of our collective group energy for insight, clarity of purpose, healing, and even personal transformation.
Within the group space, individuals will be able to go deeper into their own experience of trance and explore their own personal intentions. We will also explore the manifestation of group intention and spirit guidance. Within the container of a group trance, personal experiences can take on larger, more profound meanings that are relevant to more than one person or even to the whole group.
