A healer is one who removes obstacles to healthy flow. This can be the flow of life force, the flow of the Qi, the flow of blood, the flow of cranial-sacral fluid or the flow of communication. All flows are like water; they are only healthy if it is moving.

Day 1 focuses on creating and maintaining boundaries and containers for healing spaces and teachable moments. We will review the importance of having strong, flexible outer and inner boundaries, and how to use these boundaries to create an appropriate level of intimacy with our students, clients and patients. We will discuss techniques to create various kinds of containers, including magical, healing and transformative. And we will also discuss topics such as ethics, privacy and discretion.

Day 2 builds upon the foundational tools of boundaries and containers and focuses on advanced skills such as healing presence, listening/observation skills, and inner practices. We will use various metaphors for flow including movement, energy sensing, and meditation.

This course is designed for people who have already made a commitment in their lives to the healing arts, the ministerial and priest/ess path, or teaching as a profession. Day 2 will include several participant practitioners to assist students during the experiential exercises.
You can register for one or both classes. The introductory class is a prerequisite for Sunday's class.

Course Fee: $130 for both days; $75 for one day

Registration opens February 20, 2010.

Working with dreams has been likened to a call and response process: we call, and our dreams respond. And often, when our dreams call to us, we are compelled to respond. The more conscious we become of what our dreams are calling us to, the more we can joyfully engage in the process of growth and maturation this involves.

This workshop is designed to support and deepen your relationship with your dreams, by presenting tools for group dreamwork, new methods of personal inquiry, and an opportunity to find a dream ally. All participants should bring a dream to share, whether recent or very old, an object for a dream altar, and a journal. All levels of dream experience welcome.

Course Fee: $75

Registeration opens January 30, 2010.

For nearly 300 years, Ancient Egypt stood at the pinnacle of civilization. Its monuments, temples, tombs, and artifacts provide extensive and tantalizing clues as to the power of its people. No other nation in history has risen, fallen, and risen again in the way Egypt did during its considerable reign. Its religion, culture, technology, and magick left a lasting impression on societies that are considered to be part of the foundations of western societies, Greece and Rome. And today, over 2400 years since the last native Egyptian Pharaoh ruled, we are still fascinated by the mysteries and secrets of that ancient nation.

In this workshop we will explore the history, mythology, symbolism, magick and religion of Ancient Egypt. We will look at its temples, its tombs, its writings and its artifacts to catch a glimpse of the beliefs and ideas of this elder people. We will seek a balanced viewpoint between ‘Egyptians had intergalactic travel’ of the New Age fringe and ‘if it isn’t carved in stone it isn’t possible’ of orthodox Egyptology. In all of our explorations we will be seeking an answer to the questions ‘how does this affect magickal and spiritual practices today?’ and ‘how can I use this in my personal work and exploration?’

The shadow contains the parts of self that one has not or cannot consciously accept. These characteristics often contradict our carefully constructed self-image or they represent socially unacceptable dreams or desires. It is often said that we spend the first half of our lives creating our shadow, and the last half reintegrating it back in order to become whole.

The first half of this class provides an introduction to the spiritual, social and cultural frameworks underlying shadow work - at the personal level, and in relationship to community. In the afternoon we will discuss some of the underlying structures of our personal and collective shadows. And we will learn the use of several tools and techniques that can be used within shadow work.

If there is interest, this class can be used to create a shadow group. A shadow group is a group of people who meet regularly to study and discuss their ongoing shadow work.

We are co-creators with the divine, and we can use our creative powers to manifest a meaningful and fulfilling life in the physical realm.

In this workshop, we will explore the theory and practice of manifesting what you need and desire in your life. We will discuss the principles and tools of magic, discover our individual symbol sets, playfully engage our Younger Self, and activate our creativity to craft a spell and ritual to manifest our intent in the world we live in.

Come with an open mind, a willing heart, and a playful sense of adventure. Manifestation is happening all around you, all the time.
