LAKE TAHOE, Nev. (March 11, 2009) — The Artisan Group, a select collection of privately owned real estate agencies throughout California and Nevada, will come together this month to discover innovative ways to successfully address the current real estate climate. The workshop, "Developing Your Core Potential" by Peter Tongue, will be presented by Lake Tahoe-based Chase International.

Tongue has a thorough knowledge of metaphysics and emphasizes visual self- empowerment and success. He will be leading the Artisan Group through a daylong workshop covering topics such as "Shifting Your Vision in Challenging

Times" and "Raising Your Vibration to Achieve Results."

Chase International agents, who are known to be on the cutting edge of professional development and marketing, have worked with Tongue on previous occasions and report positive outcomes affecting both their business and personal lives. Chase is one of the leading luxury real estate agencies in the nation that collectively continues to incorporate new ideas into all facets of their business, whether it's taking advantage of high tech gadgetry and social media networking and communication, bundling services for asset solutions or tapping into the acknowledgement of higher energies that attract good things into their lives.

"Embracing these messages of abundance, awareness and positive energy is a vital ingredient for success," said Shari Chase, president and CEO of Chase International. "The current state of the market makes these principles all the more relevant. I'm looking forward to bringing a higher level of consciousness to the Artisan Group. They are a forward-thinking organization who will appreciate and integrate these lessons for professional, as well as personal growth."
