Two New England Paranormal Investigations
with Rob Gutro, Noble Adult & Community Education
From two of Rob’s books, you can experience a public paranormal investigation at the Hunt Memorial Library in Nashua, NH with Rob and Monique Toosoon. Their findings revealed three ghosts that were not associated with the building but chose the building as their residence. Together with other paranormal professionals and members of the public they uncovered a haunted secret love, illicit trysts, a ghostly teenage accident victim and haunted paintings.
In the Ghosts of Linville Manor – Maryland’s Most Haunted House, Rob’s investigation revealed the identities of several ghosts, including one who remains there due to being unjustly accused. This book details that investigation, provides a glimpse of the home's past, and shares many of the supernatural interactions people have experienced.

Evolutionary Astrology I
with Rob Stewart, Noble Adult & Community Education
”Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards” - Soren Kierkergarrd
Evolutionary Astrology is based on the premise that a soul lives many lifetimes, and suggests your birth chart may provide hidden clues into your multi-life journey. In this workshop we will unpack themes that astrology suggests may have been relevant in past lives as well as themes that may provide opportunities for your personal growth and evolution.
There are no prerequisites for the class. Participants are encouraged to email their birth information (date, place, time) to the instructor, Rob at rob@innercenterastrology.com, prior to the start of the class. He will provide a copy of your birth chart in class. It would be optimal to have your exact birth time available (documented on your birth certificate) but is not necessary.
