MEDICINE FOR THE EARTH Gathering:
Transmuting Personal and Environmental Toxins
  • Based on the groundbreaking work of Sandra Ingerman.
    From cross-cultural legends of shamanic cures to biblical accounts of seas parting and water transforming to wine, many spiritual traditions are rich with stories about unexplainable miracles. Using a powerful combination of guided meditation, shamanic journey work and ceremony, our work will focus on transforming not only physical toxins, but also emotional and mental toxins that poison perceptions of reality.
    This work brings together people who believe it is possible to create heaven on earth.  It puts us in touch with our own ability to be miracle workers.  It teaches us about our own enormous power, which we are using every minute of the day without being conscious of it.  With every thought, word and deed, we are creating ourselves, our lives, our reality, for better or worse.  Medicine for the Earth shows us how to use our power to create health, wholeness and harmony in our world and within ourselves.
 
 
 
 
 
Healing with Spiritual Light  
This powerful healing modality is based on Medicine for the Earth, described above. It combines guided meditation, shamanic journeywork and ceremony, enabling us to experience union with the divine and realize harmony, wholeness and boundless love. In this transcendent state, miracles happen. Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing are a natural occurrence.
In this experiential workshop, you will learn how to work with the principles of Medicine for the Earth to ease the suffering of others and also to experience healing for yourself. Everyone in the class will receive a healing and will also perform one. While Reiki practitioners and those who do other types of energy healing may be particularly attracted to this way of working, anyone can do it and no previous experience is necessary.

SHAMANISM AND CREATIVITY
This class will explore Shamanic techniques as a portal to the inner artist. Through a series of hands-on class exercises, we will use shamanic techniques to enter a light trance state and journey through the rich and fruitful landscapes within ourselves.
You will have the opportunity to experiment with a variety of art forms, not just the one in which you have the most experience. One of our goals is to silence the inner critic that lies within us, telling us we can't draw, sing, dance, or make music, etc. By using shamanic methods, we will access the deep wellspring of creativity within ourselves so that our spirits can more freely express themselves in the world.
 
The Shamanic GriefWork Program enables those who have experienced a deep loss to use shamanic tools to process grief.
