Along with her husband, Filmer, they have provided music at Wayfarer's Chapel often. Lisa recently underwent major surgery at Emory Hospital in Atlanta and has since faced several subsequent hospitalizations. Unfortunately, Lisa's recovery will prevent her from working for quite some time. The financial burden is overwhelming. If you know Lisa, you know her heart is as big as her talent. She's always the first to help someone in need. Now it's our turn to help her. There are 2 ways to donate: You can send a check to Barbara Beckham, 1111 Windy Ridge Rd, Otto, NC, 28763. To remain anonymous, write your check to Barbara Beckham and she will get the funds to Lisa. Otherwise, write your check to Lisa Kilby and Barbara will make sure Lisa gets it. Use the Go Fund Me site that has been set up for Lisa here.
| FIRST-DEGREE REIKI TRAINING CLASS | REIKI is the Japanese word for Universal Life Force Energy. REIKI is a gentle, non-manipulative type of energy therapy and relaxation technique with in-depth healing abilities for the body, mind, and spirit. During the first-degree Reiki class, you will learn universal principles of healing, the history of Reiki, and how to give full body treatments to yourself and others (family, friends, animals). A Reiki master initiates you into Reiki and shares the philosophy and background about this hands-on healing. The class will be conducted over two half-days in November. Reiki instructor, Marie Dunkle, first began practicing Reiki in 1991 and achieved Reiki Master level in 1995. She was taught in the traditional Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho natural healing system whose lineage of teachers is traced back to Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki. Interested in learning?
