When was the last time you took a good, hard look at your stuff and determined it was worth keeping for yourself or giving away to your children, relatives or close friends? Come to this weekend workshop where you will set aside time to consciously explore the content and value of your legacy.
During the discovery process, you may find items tucked away for safe-keeping. Should you display them, give them away or let them go altogether? By shining a light on your legacy and making decisions along the way, you'll feel delightfully energized and empowered. Don't be surprised if you find yourself wanting to continue the process once the workshop ends.
The Workshop
This workshop will alternate between the classroom (with other participants) and your home (where you will work independently). It is especially designed for those who wish to take a good hard look at what they own, determine why it's of value, and whether it's worth keeping. It is advisable to have boxes and trash bags available at home before the workshop, so items can be easily sorted and handled.
- Friday evening: (Registration: 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM;
Workshop: 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM) - Saturday morning: (9:00 AM -12:00 PM)
Participants work at home independently. Guidelines are provided. - Saturday afternoon: (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM)

***NEW!*** The Power of Twelve - Part I
Using Your Mind and Essential Oils to Heal Yourself
Three two-hour sessions (8 hours total)Wednesday evenings, January 25, February 1 & 8, 2012 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Alexandria, VA (right off of I-395, across from Shirlington)
Cost: $75.00
We have 12 amazing mind powers that reside in our body. Depending on how we use them, we can greatly affect our health. Misuse can cause physical ailments and disease, while deliberate, constructive use can increase our health and vitality. By developing and using these 12 mind powers consciously, we can take charge of our life in creative and powerful ways. These 12 powers are linked with the 12 tribes of Israel in the Old Testament and with Jesus and his 12 disciples in the New Testament.
As Bev worked with these mind powers, she saw a correlation with the healing powers of therapeutic grade essential oils. More than 600 references have been made in the Bible to essential oils and/or the aromatic plants from which they were extracted. Young Living Essential Oils™ has created a collection of twelve of the most frequently mentioned biblical oils. Bev paired each of the oils from this collection with a healing mind power and created the course "The Power of Twelve."
The course is divided into four parts. The first part will be held in the winter of 2012, while the remaining three parts will follow later in 2012. Each part costs $75. You can take one or any part that is of interest and convenient for you. Part 1 includes the following pairings:
Week 1: Healing Power of Faith with Spikenard Essential Oil
Week 2: Healing Power of Strength with Myrrh Essential Oil
Week 3: Healing Power of Judgment with Cedarwood Essential Oil
We'll explore:
- The healing qualities of each mind power and its paired essential oil
- The impact of each mind power has on specific parts of the body
- Why pairing an essential oil with a mind power can enhance our healing
- How to use and apply essential oils to our individual concerns
- New ways to use our mind to heal ourselves.

Consciously Clearing Clutter
Uncovering the Subconscious Reasons for Your Clutter
Four two-hour sessions (8 hours total)Thursday evenings, October 5, 12, 19, & 26, 2011 - 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Alexandria, VA (right off of I-395, across from Shirlington)

What if your home were clutter-free? Would you host more parties, welcome drop-in guests, or simply appreciate its comfort? Perhaps the concept of "home" would take on a new meaning. Many people want to create an ideal home environment, one that's clutter-free, but their efforts get blocked and their intentions thwarted. Simply and quickly disposing of unwanted items somehow doesn't get at the root of the problem. The clutter comes back and the same frustrations and feelings return.
This four-session class gives you the opportunity to explore your own blocks to clearing clutter. Each session is highly interactive and participatory. Many of the class exercises allow you to explore the deeper reasons as to why you remain attached to certain items. You'll leave the course understanding that clutter is more a reflection of your spirit than your physical being. You'll practice ways to uncover what lies underneath your clutter and identify strategies to propel yourself forward clutter-free. Practical approaches will be provided to get you started.
Week 1: Getting Familiar with My Clutter
Week 2: What Lies under My Clutter
Week 3: Forgiveness & Gratitude: Necessary Ingredients
Week 4: Developing a Game Plan

PRAISE FOR BEV'S CLASSES
"Bev's "Consciously Clearing Clutter" class totally changed the way I look at my clutter, and my life. I took the class hoping to clear out some unpacked boxes and a few overflowing bookcases but quickly learned the clutter isn't the problem, but rather a symptom that parts of my life are not working for me. I am now clearing my life-and my house-of whatever does not serve me or make me happy. Consequently my life and my house are becoming more open and joyful and I am much happier."
--Lisa Arlt Escoto
"I did some work on the phone today with a de-cluttering expert, Bev Hitchins. It was great because she gave me encouragement with periodic phone coaching. Bev customized the conversation based on my descriptions and goals, kept me focused and made good suggestions for follow-up.
I recommend this very cost-effective technique to anyone who wants to work on de-cluttering. I was able to give away unused items and make various areas more functional in the kitchen. She made the process manageable and even enjoyable. Once I got on a roll, I was able to sustain my energy beyond the agreed-upon task. I have a long way to go with clutter but this is a great start, and I will call on Bev again in the future."
--Margie Lidoff
"Bev Hitchins’ course, Consciously Clearing Clutter,
digs at the roots of our clutter. And, at the end of the day, we have
been moved to actually do something about it! I found it to be a
life-changing course and recommend it highly."
--Alec Simpson
"I highly recommend Bev's Paper Chase teleclass. I cleared the space on and around my desk, filing some things for easy access, and, more often, putting things in the recycle bin. As a result, I met two deadlines I probably would have met anyway, but it would have been much more painful with lots of digging.
The remaining mess would have been unimproved or worse than before. I now have easy access to materials for other important tasks, which I had been putting off, as it seemed too difficult to ferret out what I needed. I am inspired to keep my new space the way it is and to expand my clutter-free zone! Thanks, Bev!"
--Don Andress
