5 Wishes: A Sacred Conversation Series With Kat Alessi
2026-04-28 13:00 - 14:30, 2026-05-05 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
New Start Date! This class now begins on April 28th!

Join Kat for a thoughtful and empowering 5-week journey exploring the questions that matter most, how we wish to be cared for, supported, and honored at the end of life.

Over five Tuesdays, we will gently walk through the 5 Wishes document together, creating space for reflection, conversation, and clarity. This is not just about planning, it is about giving yourself and your loved ones the gift of peace, guidance, and knowing.

Each week, we will focus on one “wish,” exploring the medical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of end-of-life care in a supportive, community-centered environment.

By the end of this series, you will have a completed 5 Wishes document, an advance directive recognized in California and many other states, that clearly communicates your desires to family, caregivers, and medical professionals.

If you previously attended Rev. Dianne’s introductory presentation, this series offers a deeper, more hands-on experience as we move through each wish together step by step. If you are new to this work, you are warmly welcome.

Details:Tuesdays, April 28 to May 261:00 to 2:30 PMAwakening Ways Center for Spiritual Living – 7840 Morro Rd, Suite 100A, Atascadero, CA 93422

Money Mastery with Rev. Elizabeth
2026-04-28 18:00 - 19:00, 2026-05-26 18:00 - 19:00
Join us for Money Mastery with Rev. Elizabeth!

How much time do you intentionally dedicate to expanding your prosperity consciousness?

What if committing just one powerful hour a month could transform your relationship with money at its root?

Money Mastery is a yearlong pop-up course held on the last Tuesday of each month from 6–7 PM on Zoom. If you missed the first meeting, you are still warmly welcome to join. A recording of the first class will be sent to you, and Rev. Elizabeth will help you get caught up so you can step in with ease and confidence.

Grounded in the truth that Consciousness is Cause, this sacred monthly gathering invites you to shift the beliefs, patterns, and awareness shaping your financial reality.

Drawing from timeless spiritual wisdom and quantum principles, where observation collapses possibility, we remember that we are not passive observers of our finances. We are active creators of our financial narrative.

So often we look at our bank accounts and think, “I can’t afford what I truly desire.” This space invites you to change your mind and keep it changed.

Together, we will:

Release limiting beliefs around money

Break old financial patterns that no longer serve

Open to abundance, ease, and flow

Align your metaphysical understanding with your actual bank account

Imagine paying down debt with grace, saving for that long-dreamed-of trip, or simply feeling supported and at ease with money.

Investment: $200 for the full year (just ~$16.70 per transformative class).Payment plan available.

Bonus: As you expand your own prosperity consciousness, you help raise the collective vibration of Awakening Ways CSL, creating a true win-win-win.Sign up today! https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/money-mastery-yearlong-class
