Signs of summer abound! The earth is blossoming and we are invited to celebrate the fruits of our labors. Nature is a powerful ally, and traditional cultures honored the seasonal changes with intention and ceremony. As the light begins to wane and the first of the harvest season is upon us, what are you ready to harvest in your life?
Below are the current circles, classes and workshops for 2010. Please check back regularly for new additions and unless otherwise noted, contact me to register.

Transfiguration Circles
Based on the Sandra Ingerman’s Medicine for the Earth work, this circle meets monthly to utilize the potent tool of transfiguration to help shift our vibrations to a higher level. As our personal vibration is raised, it is reflected back to us from our external world. This circle meets on the third Wednesday evening of the month from 7-8:30PM in Fremont. Occasionally, we meet at an outside location to help with a specific environmental concern. Please have experience with transfiguration. All donations go toward tuition assistance for shamanic classes and trainings. No one is turned away for lack of funds.

The Shamanic Path: Awakening the Healer Within
Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice that recognizes and honors the spirit that lives in all things. In shamanism, we work in partnership with nature, the elements and our helping spirits in both the visible and invisible realms to bring balance, wholeness and harmony on behalf of all beings in the great web of life. The Shamanic Path is an 18-month program of experiential and initiatory processes for both women and men who are committed to being a healing presence in the world. We will meet for nine weekends during which we will explore core shamanic techniques designed to awaken the healer within. Each weekend includes a Friday evening session from 6:30-9:30PM, and 10AM–6PM on Saturday and Sunday. Beginning in August 2010, we will meet for two additional weekly evening sessions to practice the techniques we have learned.
Dates: February 2010 through May 2011 (This circle is now closed)
