Instructor: Jerry Zaryczny
Being able to rapidly calm our mind and relax is a wonderful resource to develop and master. It doesn't take years of training or visiting a monastery in Nepal. It does however, require allowing your imagination to be directed and focused on a few ideas and your ability to follow easy-to-do instructions. The body knows how to relax, all on its own, and the mind knows how to clear itself, all on its own. During these highly enjoyable and deeply relaxing group hypnosis/guided imagery sessions, your mind will discover how to calm itself, whether it's going to sleep, waking up, or throughout the day when needing to be focused, on task, or simply needing to enjoy the present moment. Jerry Zaryczny CHt works with clients around the country from his office in downtown Prescott.

A vast area and range of climates create wonderful homes for happy wine grapes, but as in Italy certain homes work for certain grapes and not others. Often within regions we see differences in soil, aspect, temperature, and grape varieties. With tastings each week, we will focus on different regions of California, to become acquainted with the grapes and wine making styles.
Class 1 we will focus on Napa and sub regions Rutherford, Oakville, Calistoga, and Yountville.
Class 2 we do the same with Sonoma County with a view towards Dry Creek Valley Russian River Valley and smaller regions within each.
Class 3 we head a bit south to Los Carneros which borders on the upper reaches of SF bay. Cooler climate and a bit more humidity makes for different wines, including sparkling wines. a little further south we are in the mountains with Santa Lucia Highland, carpel Valley, Chalone and Arroyo Secco.
Class 4 Paso Robles, Edna Valley, Santa Maria, and Santa Ynez.
Class 5 is a look at Edna Valley, Arroyo Grande, Santa maria Valley and Santa Ynez Valley.
