Are You Ready To Explore Your "Raw Emotions" With a Study Group...?

I am REALLY excited to share my latest project with y'all...I have set up a "Raw Emotions Study Group", which will convene once a week for an hour to read aloud and discuss my book "Raw Emotions" :)
I've been wanting to read over this book again myself and thought it would be fun to do so in a group context, so that we can share our insights, tales and inspirations on topics such as emotional eating, overeating, obesity, addictions, following our bliss in life and much more... Are you willing and ready to invest an hour of your time each week into exploring these areas together....? ;)

The study group will start on June the 7^th and meet each consecutive Tuesday for as long as it takes us to read the whole book. Each hour-long session will involve approximately 40 minutes of me reading live from the book, via a private Ustream broadcast, then for the remaining 20 minutes or so, we'll share a streaming discussion via the "ch at" feature of Ustream.
There are three ways to sign up for this group and get involved - you can choose to simply join the live meetings, OR join the meetings plus receive an ebook version of the book, OR join the meetings plus receive a physical copy of the book. You can check out all the details and get signed up for this fun exploratory event HERE - we look forward to sharing this journey with you... :)
