An in-depth look at the wisdom of Eastern dragons and how the mythology reflects deep feminine wisdom. From the feminine moon to the pearls of wisdom, the fierce power of the flames, to the protection of the cave – women and dragons have shown us how to communicate with the wise power within ourselves.
Three options to attend (same price)
1) Minnesota Classroom, Tuesday, October 13, 6pm-8pm CST
2) Live Online, Wednesday, October 14, 6pm-8pm CST
3) Video recording available on or before, October 19.
Students can attend the Minnesota Classroom session as well as the Live Online session the next day. The same material will be covered in both sessions, but the contemplation discussions will be different as the students answers will be different. The video recording will be of the Live Online session.
All registered students will also receive access to the video recording and class materials for 1 year.
Gals Guide teaches in an ancient method sometimes called “The Three Levels of a House of a Happy Person.” Students will have a listening portion, a contemplation portion, and a meditation. This structure is to allow the student time to find the personal wisdom in the class.

Scholarships
In previous years, Gals Guide was awarded grants that made economic space to offer financial resources to students. Due to federal funding limitations, many grants are on pause. Gals Guide is currently applying to grants that are a right fit in hopes to offer accessible classes, free classes, and more scholarship opportunities.
Gals Guide intention is to provide meaningful services as well as keep Gals Guide financially a float. We want to be accessible but we also want to keep our doors open – it’s a rough balance.
