May 1, 2010 — We are pleased to welcome three new instructors to the KSURF Webversity community.
Callie Carling is the new instructor for
Writing As A Healing Art

Formerly a two-part class, this personal writing workshop has been merged into
an expanded nine-unit course. The class is now open and enrollments are being
accepted. Callie will also instruct Egyptian Mythology which will go
live in June.
Callie is a natural beauty therapist, energy healing practitioner, and deep guided relaxation trainer and mentor. She has over twenty years experience working in Human Resources and the legal field (Criminal and Intellectual Property). A passionate advocate for empowering others to blossom into their full potential, she has been tutoring and teaching classes online and face-to-face in her home town of London, England, since 1999.
"I live in a beautiful part of London, and am very blessed to be surrounded by loving family and friends," Callie says. "I have a wonderful partner, and a son whom I am so proud of (he serves in the Household Cavalry here in London at present)."
Callie is currently training to be a nutritional therapist. She runs a business website, Moonpoppy Enterprises, where she offers virtual assistant services including administration, proofreading, legal transcription, and HR training. She also maintains several popular blogs, publishes a free e-zine on health and well being, and she is writing a Reflective Practice course for therapists and healing professionals.
Chuck Weinstein, CLU, ChFC, LUTCF, will share his extensive knowledge of
finance with students of

teach Personal Finance 101 which goes live later this summer.
Mr. Weinstein has been a financial advisor since 1984.

He is licensed to sell all types of insurance and securities products in New York and California. He has been a trainer of insurance agents for over 15 years and has taught university courses for the general public on personal financial planning and business continuation planning.
Mr. Weinstein says he teaches because he enjoys sharing the knowledge with anyone who is interested in learning more about financial matters. He says he has the ability to break down complicated subjects into easy to understand bites.
In his personal life, Chuck is a family history researcher and has spoken before many groups on the subject of genealogy. He has documented his own family back to the 17th century in eastern Europe, and helped many others find their pasts.
