Between The Pillars Of Belief And Disbelief
with Ivo Domínguez, Jr
Sunday, March 16, 2008
From 9:30 to 5:30
As witches, magicians, and shamans of the modern era we are faced with the gift and the challenge of choice in what we believe. Belief is one of the great engines that drives the power of magick but we also know the danger of blind faith all too well.
True believers of any system can never truly know nor understand its workings but without some belief there is no efficacy. The literal interpretation of symbols, rituals, and myths is fraught with danger but so is the reductive interpretation that robs us of spirit and essence.
The goal of this class is to encourage an informed subjectivity, a controlled belief, that allows us to find balance between the pillars of Belief and Disbelief.
Beyond Consensus
With Katrina Messenger
Sunday, June 7, 2009
From 9:30a.m. to 5:30p.m.
What are the critical building blocks that encourage consensus decision-making? When is the consensus process inappropriate or oppressive? How do we get beyond simply using consensus-based decision-making and into true cooperative leadership? What are the critical skills, tools and techniques that encourage power sharing, diversity and open, transparent processes?
This is a three-part workshop. First we discuss the preconditions and supports that make consensus decision making possible. Secondly, we review several methods of incorporating the methodology into a group process. And lastly we discuss meeting facilitation as a spiritual skill.
Course Fee: $75
Creativity as a Spiritual Practice
When I began the Artists Way all those years ago, I had no idea how much it would intertwine so easily with my spiritual practice. I find myself using ideas, insights and revelations from this book in all aspects of my rather full life.
The Artists Way is one of those books that speaks to the universal Artist inside of us all. Julia Cameron, more than any other writer helped me to envision, invoke and engage with the Artist Archetype within my tradition, within my path and within my students.
The Artists Way has been selected for the Reflections Book Study. It is required reading for all Reflections students. We will take 24 weeks to cover the book, two weeks per chapter. As always, we slow down our processing to allow space for the divine to speak to our very souls.
Join us. We will start our collective journey at Imbolc.

Introduction to Elemental Psychology
With Katrina Messenger
Sunday, April 26, 2009
From 9:30a.m. to 5:30p.m.
What’s your (Elemental) Sign?
Earth, air, fire, and water - each of us interacts and functions in this world with elemental preferences that goes beyond our astrological sign or our "favorite" element. Learn how knowing your personality Element can help you identify your strengths, weaknesses, talents, bugaboos, and life path.
What is the inner conflict (Earth/Air or Fire/Water) that drives your creativity and passion? What is your inner versus your outer element?
What is the link between the ancient elements and modern psychology? And how is our personal evolutionary journey defined by our elemental type. Additionally, how is one's elemental type affected by societal prejudices and the needs of the group soul?
This class will review the elemental principals within both modern and ancient personality typology systems and provide an overview of Katrina Messenger's elemental psychological theories from her upcoming book, tentatively titled Psychology & Magick.
Course Fee: $75
