benefits of Reiki treatment include lowering blood pressure and normalizing cholesterol levels. Clinical studies show Reiki treatment reduces negative side effects from chemotherapy and surgery. It also accelerates the healing process and aids in reducing or eliminating pain.

TWIN CITIES Theatre TripSaturday & Sunday, December 8 & 9

The Guthrie Theater presents the Yale Repertory Theatre production of

The Servant of Two Mastersby Carlo Goldoni - directed by Christopher Bayes

A classic comic masterpiece, directed by former Guthrie company member Christopher Bayes and starring comedic genius Steven Epp (Theatre de la Jeune Lune). Chock-full of mistaken identities and broken engagements, mayhem erupts when the wily and chronically hungry servant Truffaldino hatches a zany scheme to double his wages (and his meals) by serving two masters at once. The Washington Post hailed this Servant as “deliriously happy-making” and a “bowlful of joy!”

Leave UWMC at 7:30 AM on Saturday; check into the Country Inn & Suites and have lunch; take in the 2 PM matinee performance at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts; have dinner on your own in downtown St. Paul; end the evening with the 7:30 performance at the Guthrie Theater. Sunday until 3:30 PM is free time. You’ll return to Wausau in the early evening.

Fee: $325 based on double occupancy Deposit: $50 due by October 12
