After the first war in Heaven, Lucifer’s defeat and banishment was all but definitive. While peace reigned for a millennium, the Father of Lies dwelled in the void of the Pits of Hell. Fueled by vengeance and blinded by his destiny during his imprisonment, Lucifer plotted against those who would stand in his way. Upon his release, Lucifer sets off a series of events that draws the attention of a handful of angels as Heaven remains skeptical of any danger. In an unsanctioned mission to thwart Lucifer’s plans, a small group of angels set off on their own. Do they have the fortitude to endure Hell’s forces and convince Heaven or will Lucifer threaten all of creation?

Alchemy & Acupuncture Spring Healing Event
2023-03-19 16:00 | Hot Yoga Kenosha, 5708 7th Avenue, Kenosha, WI, 53140, United States
Inner Alchemy & Acupuncture Spring Healing Event
Breath✨ Movement✨ Meditation ✨ Acupuncture ✨ Crystal Healing✨ Aromatherapy ✨ Sound Healing
Come join us for this 2 hour event to balance and realign the mind, body, and soul. We will be focusing on clearing old energy out of the body for the Spring Equinox, in return we will open up new pathways and channels to help you connect to higher realms.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine Spring is a time for new beginnings, as the days get longer, and the sun starts getting warmer. It’s a time of expansion rather than contraction. We begin to move and grow outward in the world after the hibernation of winter months. If we have followed nature’s way and taken a winter rest, we too emerge into spring.
This is the season to plant seeds for a future harvest, to look ahead and make new plans, formulate new ideas, make decisions, and determine our direction for the coming year – and to take action. It’s the time to leave behind the stagnant energy of cold winter. Our thoughts and intentions are the seeds of our reality. So we will clear and align our energy field ✨
We will begin by raising the energy in the body through movement and breath. After we balance and raise the energy, Candi from Three Moons Acupuncture will begin to “Clear the Field” with Acupuncture and Healing Crystals applied to the body to clear old energy from the body. Clearing the head field offers a time to release anything that no longer serves you and clears the field for planting what will. Be open to the field. Believe. Bring your love and a clear intention!
After we open the body and clear the head field our body will be prepared to go into a deep meditation that will allow us to move into a protective field of light. We will then open up to our higher self and tap into higher spiritual realms, as we connect to guides and masters.
We will finish with a sound bath that will help relax the body, clear the subconscious mind, and activate the body’s natural healing systems 🎶
This is a powerful way to consciously connect with your higher self and gain spiritual awareness in 2023.
✨Investment 💜 : $35 per person
Venmo (Jenna-Martin-01) or call 262-412-0004
This class will be led by Candi, Lena, and Jenna.
✨SPACE IS LIMITED. Book in advance to reserve spot. Non-refundable.

Benefits of Acupuncture and Crystal Healing⬇️
-Higher consciousness
-Helps mental function / brain fog
-Spiritual focus
-Clears obstructions and dense energy in the head and is a release circuit for the entire body and field
-Encourages sleep and rest
-Clears the mind
-Boosts the immune system
-Calm and clarity
-Sweeps away negativity
-Helps with decision making
-Connects to the crown chakra
-invites the third eye to open
-Protects from and reduce negative energetic influences
In addition: The Liver is the corresponding organ of Spring. The Liver is also associated with anger when it’s out of balance, and expansion when in balance. When we’re not aligned with what we’re doing, and not allowed to feel growth and expansion, we feel stuck. When the Liver Qi is stuck or stagnates it causes anger, irritability and frustration to name a few. Likewise it can also expand too rapidly or without foundation. So to help soothe the Liver energy during it’s time the amethyst has calming and grounding properties which provides a nice balance.

Women & Children's Horizons Family Friendly Discussion
2023-03-25 13:00 | Kenosha History Center, 220 51st Place, Kenosha, WI, 53140, United States
On Saturday March 25, 2023, the Kenosha History Center will be host to a Family Friendly Discussion with speakers from Women and Children’s Horizons history. The event starts at 1pm, is free to the public, and refreshments will be provided.
On display at the Kenosha History Center in March is “WCH Kenosha,” an exhibit in conjunction with Women and Children’s Horizons, which looks at the history and mission of WCH in Kenosha. Incorporated with the state in 1976, WCH is the oldest incorporated shelter in Wisconsin and offers services to all victims of abuse regardless of age, gender, or sex, as well as training to the general public.
WCH’s Executive Director, Jennifer Paine, stresses the mission of the organization: “It was groundbreaking in the early 1970s for two women to form their own agency to confront domestic violence, which was not openly discussed. Our work for the community has not stopped since. Today, we provide a suite of services to victims of all backgrounds, genders, and demographics, and their children, as well as training and support to the community. But we cannot do this work without your support.” The Kenosha History Center is honored to be able to bring a snapshot of their mission to the museum. The Kenosha History Center will also be taking donations for WCH, cash or needed items (see https://wchkenosha.org/wish-list for a list), through the month.
