Join us at The GardenShoppe for a Manifestation Circle led by Sarah Nisse of the Inner Vision Institute and movie night!
Let’s dress to impress and tap into our inner witchyness!
Magic isn’t just about spells and potions. It’s living intentionally and in a constant flow of excitement, joy and creation. When we are out of flow, we might be self-sabotaging or bringing disruptive frequencies into our lives.
After your arrival, Spiritual Guide and Psychic Sarah Nisse will lead us in a group Manifestation Ceremony where you will use the power of ritual and fire to ignite the next steps of your life. Fire calls in big change and can be used to both burn away the old while planting seeds to kindle the new. What are you ready to release, and what would you like to replace it with?
Once we are fully charged and juiced in this creation process, we will take a brief dinner break before watching our favorite witchy movie!
Tickets include your participation in the manifestation circle, dinner (a variety of soups + biscuits) and dessert charcuterie. The movie portion of this event is free. We will also have a “Midnight Margarita” specialty drink available for purchase, in addition to our beers, wines, ciders, seltzers, and non-alcoholic beverages.
This is a 21+ event. No outside beverages are allowed on the property. Please feel free to bring jackets and/or blankets, as our patio can get chilly in the evening.

What is a Manifesting Ceremony?
A Manifestation ritual is a process of bringing your ideas, concepts, visions, and dreams from your inner world into your outer world, so you can enjoy it with your physical body.
Focused, consistent, positive and clear thoughts align you with the law of attraction. To take things to the next level and align yourself with manifestation, you just need to get super clear about what you want, see and feel what it would be like to have it, have a strong intention and voila.

For the CQP, operators from all over the world will try to contact as many operators as possible from all 58 counties in California. It starts on Saturday morning and ends on Sunday afternoon. The San Benito County Amateur Radio Association (SBCARA) will set up the N6SBC station and operate from the county fair.
This leads to the second weekend event: the San Benito County Fair. The SBCARA will be at the fair to answer your questions about amateur radio, how they help in emergencies, and how to get licensed.
And finally, October 1st is the Simulated Emergency Test (SET) run by the Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL) throughout the United States. During the SET, radio operators will be given tasks similar to what they would receive during a real emergency.
