August 21: Fit By Nic & Community Events

Hey Coachella Valley - 

If you're looking for a great, fun fitness event out of the area, then look to the Beach, where there are several fun runs - meaning short - and not so short trail runs. Keep reading to find out more.

...And finally....the show you've all been waiting Wipeout will air this week.

Plus a great Mountain Retreat at the Zen Center in the Idyllwild mountains! What a great way to end the summer months.

As my training season begins to pick up I find I am not able to spend as much time at the beach as I had originally hoped......Still I love the Desert. More so in the months ahead. Hopefully, I'll see a few more of you on the trails, or on your bikes. Say hello if you see me!

9 - 9 - 9 

                Wednesday - September 9, 2009 

       Mari Mendoza
              invites you to join us in ceremony
            to anchor in a crystalline activation
       of long dormant crystals that lie within the earth.

                This event aligns us with others

                         across the planet
                who hold space for the new

              planetary codes that we are birthing. 
          The 9-9-9 triggers the awakening of the
             Emerald Crystal of the Divine Feminine,
                   which will crystallize
          the Heart Energy of the planet.
           Each trigger point moves us closer to

                   the doorway of 2012,
        which will change the world as we know it.
 Bring good intentions to help our planetary family  and the sentinel crystals that are also awakening. 
    Anchor in the healing and balance that is so   necessary at this time.
6:30 p.m.
