Lose Weight with Justin James at the February Hypnotic House Party @ Hoquiam Castle
Feb 19 @ 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm
Lose Weight with Justin James at the February Hypnotic House Party @ Hoquiam Castle | Hoquiam | Washington | United States

Sit back, relax, take a deep breath, and create the perfect you.

So whats going to happen at a Hypnotic House Party for Weight Loss? Essentially we are going to get together and hang out. You will bring a blanket and a pillow or even a Yoga mat if you would like to stretch out. Justin James will hypnotize everyone in the group and give you powerful hypnotic suggestions while some music plays in the background. It will be like daydreaming or taking a nice nap.

So you come hang out and take a nap, what happens next? For some the changes are subtle for others, it can be pretty dramatic. Lifestyle changes that were very difficult to make are suddenly within reach and your habits and choices begin to change overnight.

History Talk: The Evergreen State in World War I @ Westport Timberland Library
Mar 25 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Historian Lorraine McConaghy will begin the program with an illustrated introduction to the war’s themes. Following that, guests may participate in a scripted “Readers’ Theater,” designed to portray the turmoil of the years 1914 – 1919.  The script is drawn from first-person sources such as letters, diaries and news paper stories. It allows modern readers to speak aloud the words of a past generation, and gain an sense of how Washingtonians of that era experienced the great social, economic and political changes: industrialization, immigration, women’s rights, radical labor, epidemic disease, and worldwide turmoil.
