We strongly encourage participants to arrange for an additional day's stay at Angel Valley, available at minimal cost. PERSONAL HEALING: This course is highly experiential. All students are expected to give and receive past-life sessions. This is transformative work, and is being held in a very sacred and transformational place. Our students often reap many important personal and spiritual benefits. Please note, however, that the main focus is not personal therapy, but rather that of learning and further developing a skill that can be used in helping others. (Those looking solely for personal therapy or who are in need of deep healing should seek the attention of a professional rather than attend the course.) SPECIAL GUESTS: You may choose to have a guest share your room who would like to utilize of the spiritual retreat facilities at Angel Valley without attending the course. Please understand that the facilities are not meant to be used as a motel, but rather for personal retreat, meditation, transformation and connection. Lodging, all meals and use of the grounds is available on a limited basis for those who desire this kind of experience. The fee for a guest not attending the past-life regression counselor training course is $900, payable upon registration. Please call (920) 867-3900. NOTE FOR HYPNOTISTS: A number of hypnosis organizations, including the National Guild of Hypnotists, approve this course for credit for 40 hours of continuing hypnosis education.

PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM YOUR INSTRUCTOR, MARY ELIZABETH RAINES: Dear Students-to-be: Thank you so much for considering this course! It will open a beautiful and rich avenue of healing for you. My intent is to offer you the most complete array of tools possible so that you can facilitate effective and powerful past-life regression sessions with confidence and ease. Although the primary purpose of the course is for you to become expertly trained so that you may offer healing and compassionate understanding to others, there is an unexpected secondary gain that my students report over and over again: They find that their own lives have become transformed in a miraculous and marvelous way when they take these classes. I am always excited and glad at the opportunity to share knowledge and wisdom, and to prepare healers of the highest order to do this important work. With warmth, joy and smiles,   Mary Elizabeth Raines
