This amazing Gallery will be conducted on Saturday night and the workshop is on Sunday at 10:30. RSVP and pre-pay for the Gallery by November 27 at 7pm and receive free admission to the workshop, a $25 value. William Constantine is a highly sought after psychic medium who has been called many things; Luminary, Psychic, Psychic Medium, Intuitive, Life Coach, Spiritual Teacher; but, one thing is for sure William is a man on a mission. What is this profound mission? With over 10 years experience as a Psychic Medium, William has been "training" with Angels, Ascended Masters, and Spirits both Earth Bound and those in the light. As a Psychic Medium his uncanny ability to communicate with the Otherside is astounding. He provides; names, dates, places, physical descriptions, personalities, as well as other evidential insights of Spirit giving proof that Life after Life does truly exist. This has caused him to be a highly sought after Keynote Speaker and Media Personality. He has appeared in numerous radio, print, and Television venues. He provides you a NEW way of perceiving death -- as a re-emergence into the full glory of their divine self. He sees this as a cause for a CELEBRATION ... not self loathing and mourning. Celebrate the Glory of their life. Due to this deep connection with positive light beings of the non-physical realms he has gained astoundingly profound insights that he now teaches and shares in his online radio show, The Awakening Radio, and with his clients as a Spiritual Life Coach who relays amazing lessons from the Light in down to earth terms. It is these teachings that are his calling and life's purpose. Many have already dubbed him a living Luminary. Even more, have thanked William for his kindness, compassion, and unwavering belief in our interconnectivity and unlimited potential. He has lectured at scores of Metaphysical and Holistic Expos, Private organizations, Social Groups, and blows the attendees away with allowing them to see the Glory, Abundance and Success that they seek in many outside facets -- is already within them.

Monika Zagar, author and University of Minnesota associate professor of Scandinavian studies, will discuss her book, Knut Hamsun: The Dark Side of Literary Brilliance, on Wednesday, December 2 at 4:00 p.m. at the University of Minnesota Bookstore in Coffman Memorial Union, 300 Washington Ave. S.E. Minneapolis. Zagar refuses to separate Knut Hamsun’s political and cultural ideas from his highly regarded writing in her analysis of this Nobel Prize-winning writer and Nazi sympathizer. Zagar’s work reveals the ways messages of racism and sexism appear in plays, fiction and none-too-subtle nonfiction produced by Hamsun over his long career. By focusing on selected masterpieces, Zagar shows that Hamsun’s support of Nazi political ideals was a natural outgrowth of his reactionary aversion to modernity. Knut Hamsun serves as a corrective to scholarship treating Hamsun’s Nazi ties as unpleasant but peripheral details in a life of literary achievement. Zagar will sign copies of her book following the discussion. This event is free and open to the public.
