Then modifications are made to help address these issues for each specific class. The goal is that in this forum, everyone attending gets the benefit of the gifts of healing that have been placed on the altar of class. Holding to the idea of synchronicity, whoever shows up on any given class day will benefit from whatever arises. It's a little bit of magic! Purrr!
