Transformational Workshop with Author Michael Mehas at Bank of Books

Transformational Third Thursdays, a popular monthly consciousness workshop and discussion group based on the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, will meet again on February 19th from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Bank of Books, 748 E. Main St., Ventura. The series is presented by award-winning novelist Michael Mehas, author of "Stolen Boy."

Offered free of charge as a community service by the author and Clarey Rudd, owner of Bank of Books, the transformational series has been a huge success from the start.

"We had a full house turn out for the first meeting last month," Rudd said. "It's been a real pleasure watching the group work. It's a dedicated bunch of people who come here wanting to change their lives. I've enjoyed watching them grow."

Persons at all levels of the transformative experience are invited to attend one or more of the monthly events. The goal of the workshop is for each participant to learn how to improve their lives by ending the drama, and the pain and suffering they all create for themselves.

"Our present consciousness creates our ultimate reality," Mehas says. "So by recognizing this, and then gaining the skills to be able to change one's negative thoughts and emotions and reactive patterns, we learn how to put more positive energies into everything that we do. This creates a more positive reality in our lives."

The yearlong series, which continues on February 19th, will meet on the third Thursday of each month, concluding on December 17th. All events will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Bank of Books in downtown Ventura.

A New Earth, and Stolen Boy can be found on the shelves at Bank of Books. In celebration of transformation, Clarey Rudd has agreed to offer a 20% discount on both books.
