Albuquerque: solar party AND parenting class

Hello, friends,
As you know, I have never sent out an email about classes at Body, Mind & Spirit, where I work and teach. But we have two events about which I'm very excited and want to share with you.

1. SOLAR PARTY. This is a completely FREE event and there is even free childcare.
June 28, 4-7pm, potluck after presentation
Learn how you can lessen your energy consumption and bill. Did you all read that PNM is upping their natural gas prices, as their cost has increased by 43%? Would you like to learn how you can easily gain some energy independence? Join us for some great information you can use RIGHT AWAY. Read the bare bones details here:

Even if you cannot attend, please tell others!

2. PRAISE AND SELF ESTEEM FOR CHILDREN
This is a wonderful topic for parents of children of all ages, kids in school or homeschooled, to help them in their successes and failures and to strengthen your relationship with them.
July 12, noon-2pm. Here's a blurb from our website:
"This two hour parent workshop will
address a common desire of all parents; raising confident, resilient
children. We will explore the effects our parenting styles have on our
children’s self esteem, acknowledging our child’s efforts with
effective praise and communicating in a way that builds our
relationships. What IS self esteem? Why is it important? How can I, as
a parent, contribute to building healthy self esteem? Why doesn’t my
child always respond positively to my praise? Is frequent praise
building self esteem? Come join our group for a discussion about the
most important and challenging job we have: parenting!"

Again, this is something I hope is beneficial to you all and I have not sent out anything like this before in hopes the time I do, it gets noticed!
