TRIP TO THE HOLY LAND

I am writing to see if you are interested in joining me as I take a group to St. George's College, Jerusalem, in 2012. Having stayed there many times, myself, I can assure you that it is safe, comfortable (private or shared room with private bath and great food) and that the tour leaders are knowledgeable and well versed in all that has gone on in the historical past as well as what is going on presently. The college is set in a garden oasis, within short walking distance to most of the primary places to see in Jerusalem.
1) St. George's College, "Palestine of Jesus" course, May 23-June 5, 2012. Cost: $2905, which includes all meals, accommodations and fees.2) Healing Touch Level One, June 6-8, 2012. 6th/7th: course work at St. George's 8th: spent in local hospitals using HT techniques. One does not have to take the "Palestine of Jesus" course to take the HT class and vice versa.3) Optional side trips, following the HT class, for those not taking "Palestine of Jesus" course. Costs to be determined for HT class and side trips.There will be opportunities for me to take those interested to some of my favorite sights. St. George's College is a one block-plus walk to the American Colony Hotel (where all the news people and politicians hang out) and a five minute walk to the Damascus Gate, one of the major entrances into the Old Walled City. We will meet with Naim Ateek (if he is not out of town) and the Sabeel staff as well as other notable persons of peace: Christian, Jewish and Muslim. Depending on what is on the calendar at the time, we will be able to attend musical performances and do other things of cultural note.Go to St. George's College Jerusalem (http://www.sgcjerusalem.org/) to find out more about the classes and the college.Go to Healing Touch Program (www.healingtouchprogram.com/) to Level I class (in the section on Classes) to find out about the class.more I urge you to start saving your shekels so you can join me for this wonderful experience. Any questions, email me or call: 503-230-2331.I am working on getting airfare estimates, which are separate from the course costs. Frequent Flyer miles are good for such a long trip. If you want to be kept informed of the costs and of the plans as they are finalized, please let me know. If this is not your cup of mint tea (the specialty there) that is fine, just let me know so I don't bother you with additional emails.Shalom, Salaam, Peace! Constance
