Reiki is a way of channeling healing energy. It is a Japanese word meaning "universal life force energy". It is a hands on technique, much like when the Bible speaks of a "laying on of hands".
~Reiki promotes relaxation, decreases stress and may lead to deeper levels of healing. Anyone can learn Reiki.
~The initiations of Reiki I promote a reawakening and a reopening of the healing channel found within all of us.
~The workshop includes the learning of Reiki history, the traditional hand positions and how to use Reiki for healing yourself and others.
~This beginning Reiki workshop is the only one y...ou will need to channel the healing Reiki energy to yourself or to anyone you know.
The cost for this 13 hour workshop is only $250.
If you have already completed a Reiki I class with another teacher, ask about auditing this class for only $125 to get a different teacher's perspective and experience.

Aug 8 - Aug 9    Mo Bandy and TG Sheppard in TJ's Outdoor Events Center
Both Mo Bandy and TG Sheppard Sold Out in the Carson Valley Inn's Ballroom. So we're bringing them toghther in the much larger TJ's Corral for a special Concert night featuring both artists. Moe's last string of hits include "Bandy The Rodeo Clown," "Hank Williams, You Wrote My Whole Life," "Till I'm Too Old To Die Young," "Americana," "It's A Cheatin' Situation," "Just Good Ol' Boys," "Barstool Mountain," and dozens of other chart-toppers. Bandy's accomplishments include ten #1 hits, 40 top ten hits, 66 Chart hits, 5 Gold albums, ACM Song of the Year, ACM Most Promising Male Vocalist of the Year, American Video of the Year and ACM and CMA Duet of the year. Closing the '70's with his first #1 hit, "Last Cheaters Waltz," T.G. Sheppard opened the '80's with a remarkable run of #1 hits in two years and was also named "Best New Male Artist" by Cashbox. His other #1 hits include many T.G. Sheppard signature songs such as "Slow Burn," "Only One You," "Party Time," "Do You Wanna Go To Heaven," "I Feel Like Loving You Again," I Loved 'Em Every one," "Finally," "War Is Hell On The Homefront Too," and "Faking Love." "Finally" and I Loved 'Em Every One," introduced T.G. to a massive new world of fans when both made a major impact on the Pop 40 Charts. "Make My Day," a duet with Clint Eastwood featured in the movie, "Sudden Impact," again T.G. crossed over to a pop chart recognition. Four album projets and more hits followed on a second wave of gold: Number one singles with "Fooled Around And Feel In Love," "One For The Money," and "Strong Heart," helped him remain one of the most in demand artists in country music- both in concert and record.

Aug 19    General Membership Luncheon - August 2015

Carson Valley Chamber of Commerce
General Membership Luncheon

You're Supporting What?


The County Connectivity group of the Economic Vitality Program has proposed three revenue enhancements for the County for transportation related issues. A sales tax increase, a gas tax increase and a utility operator fee. The Chamber Board has taken a position in support of these three efforts, due to a combination of what their financial impacts would be on businesses and individuals, how the funds raised could be leveraged and what the dollars would be used for. The items will be coming before the Douglas County Commission again in the next few months, and we feel it important to have the discussion again to update the membership.


At the luncheon we will go over the main points of those three areas and do our best to answer questions you may have, particularly about how the monies would be used, and what the Return on Investment could be. Please join in the conversation.

We are at Jethro's and Dustin and his team always provide a great meal...Our Businesses of the Month are the Carson Valley Arts Council and the Minden Tahoe Airport. And just to make sure no one gets bored, we'll introduce our 2015-2016
Board of Directors.
