2008 July, Wed 16th , 7.30 pm, Gathering with Jim, Sebastopol, CA $10 suggested donation Discover the freedom, love, and creative joy that do not depend upon beliefs or circumstances through the simple three-step practice that Jim teaches, described in depth in his new book, End Your Story, Begin Your Life. An evening of meditation and playful exploration as we explore the practice of awakening to our true nature. Email Jim for location and directions at jdreaver@aol.com. July,Fri 25 Los Angeles Awakening to freedom happens when you finally see that everything between your ears—the whole world of thought, belief, of “me, myself, and my story”—is an illusion, yet you, as awareness, the witnessing presence, are still very much here. Realizing this frees you from mental and emotional suffering. It opens you to an endless flow of wisdom, love, and creative energy from within. You discover your true purpose for being here, and connect with others in a way that is authentic, present, and free of fear. Living itself becomes meaningful, rich, and a whole lot more fun…! Location: At the home of Mara Fiore, 6517 w. 6th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90048. Use www.mapquest.com for directions. There is plenty of parking, but do not park on the south side of 6th Street. Jim will be available for private, hour-long sessions while in LA. He will be there July 23 - 28. Fee $125. Call him at 707-217-6451, or email jdreaver@aol.com.

About Jim Dreaver

Jim was on a spiritual journey for twenty years before finally waking up to his true nature. His teacher was European Advaita master Jean Klein. His gift is being able to quickly bring people into a state of presence, where they can experience the sense of freedom and love inside them. He has taught his work at many venues, including Esalen Institute.

In addition to his new book, END YOUR STORY, BEGIN YOUR LIFE, he is also the author of THE WAY OF HARMONY (Avon), a practical guide to integrating awakened consciousness into work, relationships, and daily life, and THE ULTIMATE CURE: The Healing Energy Within You(Llewellyn), which focuses on accessing the deep spiritual energy that is the source of all healing.

During his time as a doctor of chiropractic, he also authored SOMATIC TECHNIQUE: A Simplified Method of Releasing Chronically Tight Muscles and Enhancing Mind/Body Awareness.This illustrated manual continues to be popular with chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists worldwide.
