DE ROSE INTERNATIONAL and ALFONSO DE ROSE presents "THINNER JOURNEY: The inner Journey of Love and Sensuality"
Workshop: $15 per person/$25 when you bring a friend.
For info: (877) 271-7695
www.AlfonsoDeRose.com
Listening to the melodic words of Italian author and love guru Alfonso De Rose, as he describes the connection between weight, food and sensuality, is often satisfaction for even the most love-starved and most discriminating of appetites. "Thinner Journey" is truly the inner journey of love, sensuality and pleasure - the journey of opening the heart and letting go of the false protection of "FAT". FAT is what De Rose calls the "FEAR-ANGER-TRAP". Some people may actually have a physical barrier of excess weight or muscle as false protection while others may not have a physical manifestation recognizable to the naked eye. This barrier of "Fear and Anger" serves to perpetuate a sense of loss, emptiness and longing. There is no amount of food, drugs or sex that can fill the emptiness. The only true remedy is "Love". This event is for anyone who wants to experience more love and more pleasure. Join us for a "taste" of love, sensuality, and freedom of mind and body consciousness. Begin the journey of living life fearlessly and authentically. Begin the journey of "Love".
Thursday, April 7, 7:30 pm

She then channels angels and spirits to receive information to target the appropriate natural remedies, detoxification protocols and diet. She works under the medical license of Dr. Thom Lobe, M.D. at Beneveda Medical Group in Beverly Hills and Riviera Recovery in Malibu.

KRISHNAMURTI FRIENDS OF LOS ANGELES presents "A PROGRAM OF VIDEO AND DIALOGUE"
Video & Dialogue: $10 Suggested Donation.
For Info: (310) 650-5079 or kdialogue@roadrunner.com
This program starts with a video of Krishnamurti (approximately one hour), then seeks to explore the topic of the video via the medium of dialogue. With the focus on "what is" rather than on ideas and opinions, the intention is to inquire together in such a way that new insights may occur in relation to fundamental questions of life. This group has no affiliation with the Krishnamurti Foundation of America.
Discovered as a boy by the Theosophical Society, Krishnamurti was groomed to be the new World Teacher, a role he repudiated in 1929 when he declared that "truth is a pathless land" and that his sole mission was "to set men . . . unconditionally free." For the rest of his life, he traveled the world exploring the issues of our common humanity with large audiences and invited participants. He had a special interest in education and founded schools in India, England, and California. Krishnamurti died in Ojai in 1986. His teachings are disseminated world-wide through the Krishnamurti Foundation.

MELANIE LUTZ *discussing & signing* "LOVE LAND"
www.MelanieLutz.com
wholelottaloveland.wordpress.com/
Love Land is not a self-help book. The Self can not help the Self. This is a book trying to get beyond the Self and allow a higher presence of experience to lift you beyond the battle field of your daily thoughts. It begins with a commitment, "For the next 100 days I am going to consider the possibility that there is another way." Each chapter of Love Land is broken into four parts, a topic to open your heart and mind, a "For Your Consideration" thought changing insight, followed by an awakening jolt of electricity in the form of a prayer, and ends with "Loving Thoughts to Remember". It also includes a 40-day process to launch you into everything you've ever dreamed of becoming your reality.

HOLLISTER RAND *discussing & signing* "I'M NOT DEAD, I'M DIFFERENT: Kids in Spirit Teach Us About Living a Better Life on Earth"
www.HarperCollins.com www.HollisterRand.com
Hollister Rand is a clairvoyant, clairaudient, and clairsentient medium. I'm Not Dead, I'm Different is the result of persistent young spirits who kept wanting to speak through her to change our view of death and offer valuable tips for living a better life while on Earth. They talk freely about how to make sense of murder, suicide, and accidental deaths - even those that occurred at the hands of loved ones. They discuss the different ways relationships on both sides can be mended, how the inter-generational cycle of abuse and addiction can be stopped once and for all, and how miscarried and aborted children act as "joy guides" to those they've left behind.

Bodhi News Part 4: FUTURE OF THE BODHI TREE BOOKSTORE
The Bodhi Tree Bookstore is undergoing a transition. Sales for the Bodhi Tree Bookstore have been declining for more than a decade. In the last two years, sales have been drastically low and the Bodhi Tree Bookstore has been operating at a loss. Looking for ways to provide financial relief, we entered into an agreement to sell the buildings and property, but not the bookstore, with a closing date of November 2011. We will be open as usual until the fall of 2011. We have opened discussions with a few energetic and visionary individuals and groups all capable of moving the bookstore into its future form.

Where to park near the Bodhi Tree Bookstore
WHERE TO PARK NEAR THE BODHI TREE BOOKSTORE:
Friends of the Bodhi Tree,
One of the most common problems of life in Los Angeles is finding a parking space. Here's a guide that we hope will make it easier for you to park and help you avoid getting a parking ticket when visiting the Bodhi Tree Bookstore in West Hollywood. Park cautiously and feel free to ask us where and when you may park.
The Bodhi Tree Bookstore has three customer parking spaces in front of the former Used Book building on Westbourne Avenue. Metered street parking is generally available. In addition, there are two parking structures ( Pacific Design Center and West Hollywood park/Library Parking Structure), and Valet parking. See below for details.
VALET PARKING:
The City of West Hollywood, the Urth Caffé, the Bodhi Tree Bookstore and other local merchants have a community valet parking program.
The pick-up area is in front of the Bodhi Tree Annex building at 8583 Melrose Avenue.
The cost is $5.00 and it is in operation from 10:30 am to 11 pm.
Consider using valet parking the next time you want to visit not only the Bodhi Tree Bookstore but also Kitson, Waterworks and Mansour across the street, followed by a visit to Soolip for some beautiful paper. There are many interesting stores in the area. Finally, before heading home, you can relax with a wonderful "caffé" at Urth or Le Pain Quotidien. Through valet parking, you may "forget" about your car for long time.
How to park for free: The Bodhi Tree Bookstore offers a "help you park" program. We will reimburse or credit the basic Valet fee ($5.00) for a minimum purchase of $15.00.
PACIFIC DESIGN CENTER PARKING STRUCTURE:
