In this process, we’ll draw respectfully from many s …

Writing offers a way for people to connect to deeper, wiser aspects of ourselves – a way for us to find out, as the poet Audre Lorde said, “what we didn’t know we knew.” Almost every writer has experienced mysterious moments when the words that flow from our pens, or from our fingers on a keyboard, seem as if they come from someplace else – a place beyond our small human selves. Sometimes, when we let it happen, it’s as if the words become a little boat, a raft on which we can sail in a larger s …

Shamanism is the oldest earth and spirit medicine: it touches that place within us that moves powerfully through time and space, and exists beyond the realm of city folks. Shamanism connects us to nature and to the spirit of all things. It is where our souls speak their own unique language. It is the place our ancestors walked to find the essence within themselves and the elemental nature of all things. It is the place where truth and transformation manifests as power and the spirit within us. I …

Macro-Description ... This group presents an opportunity to experience -- rather than think.A cursory definition of meditation is transcendence beyond the distracted, entropic meanderings of the 'mind' -- and resultant connection to Consciousness / Infinite Connectedness / One-ness. Restatement of the obvious - water represents the fathoms of our spiritual nature. Meditation is supported by the energetic fabric and rhythm of a body of water ... especially one as large and consummate as the Pacif …

Shamanic journeying is an opportunity to meet with one's guides and visit other realms of existence. You may go into a journey with a question, and meet various beings who will often give very good advice and information. This kind of work can be very inspiring and empowering. Perhaps above all, it offers the opportunity to develop an awareness of realities quite different from this one. However, if a participant's belief system won't go there, and she/he credits it all to imagination, it can st …
