Pet Loss & Grieving II

Saturday, June 8, 2024 11 AM-1 pm ET

Specific questions & challenges can arise with the passing of an animal companion. In Part II of this series, we will consider these challenges & how to use energy & our intuitive skills to move through them.

For instance, animal guardians often feel guilt over choices made during their animal’s life or at the time of passing. Using healing energy & visualization, we will explore ways to release guilt & anchor our attention on the positive aspects of our bonds. Guardians also frequently wonder what occurs once an animal transitions. After discussing different ideas about animals’ afterlives, we will gently share a healing with our animals’ spirits. Additional topics will be explored, based in part on student input.

To conclude, participants will participate in a meditative ceremony to bless their animals & the lives they led together, creating a spiritual memorial they can visit in meditation. Physical memorials in the form of ceremonies, garden spots, art, etc., will also be explored, giving participants a focus for the next stage of healing.

Summer Solstice Meditation

Thursday, June 20, 2024 7-9 pm ET

On the summer solstice, we open to light, celebrating the life-giving properties of the sun. On this longest day of the year, set your field for a deeper experience of the summer’s energy.

In mindfulness meditation, explore your relationship with light as you attune to the quality of light that the sun is radiating. Next, engage with the teachings of the solstice in a guided visualization—access the transformative, purifying fire that guides our growth this season.

At the solstice, we also honor the ripening landscape around us. To acknowledge the creative life force of the land, we will close with a blessing ceremony to share healing, catalyzing energy with the Earth.

Reclaiming Your Inner Child

Saturday, July 13, 2024 11 AM-1 pm ET

As children, we can emanate vitality, joy & wisdom. As we learn how to move through society & different groups, though, the voice of the inner child can grow quiet.

Using energy & visualization, open to your curiosity & wonder again. Thought & behavior patterns that stifle your natural spontaneity can release as you clear programming from society & family. New ways of seeing your life & the world can awaken as you actively create space for your magic, delight & wisdom.

With your inner child active, you can relate more authentically, use your intuitive senses more easily, & experience a deeper level of creativity—learn techniques to restore your connection to this playful, deeply aware inner self.

Nature Spirits of Summer

Saturday, July 27, 2024 11 AM-1 pm ET

As we explore & journey in the summer, we open to a sense of space. The Earth expresses her visions, too, in the life that grows around us.

In this workshop, experience the forces that become active during the summer season. Learn how to attune to the nature spirits who help plants to flourish & create life-giving food. Visit with the elements that help energize the land. Discover the teachings they offer about wildness & freedom, growth & exchange.

The workshop is 3rd in a 4-part series that teaches about nature spirits & the elements by exploring how to connect with them each season. We will consider the role that key plant & tree spirits play each season as well as the teachings of the elements that are active at these times.

Sacred Sexuality

Saturday, August 10, 2024 11 AM-1 pm ET

Establish a sacred space to open to your sensuality & sexual power—learn how to transform & catalyze the energy in your sexual space.

Over time, this part of us can get conditioned & invalidated. As you release programming from society, family & relationships, claim your own truth about sexuality. Next, bring healing energy into your sexual space to deepen communications between your body, heart & mind.

With this foundation in place, explore ways to bring your sensuality into resonance with your spirit. Approaching sex as a sacred act, learn how to establish an empowering exchange between spirit & body. When we tend to our sexual energy, we help it align with our essence, opening on deeper, more expansive levels to the divine aspect of love.

Spirit Guides

Saturday, August 24, 2024 11 AM-1 pm ET

Discover how to sense & connect with spirit guides—the ancestors, nature spirits & angelic beings who help us move insightfully through life.

Although we may not sense them on a daily basis, spirit guides are always active in our lives. By tuning in to their presence, we can receive their teachings more easily.

In this workshop, learn core techniques to recognize, acknowledge & learn from your spirit guides. Explore ways to establish healthy boundaries with them & release any guides who are not in alignment with you.

As you learn how to maintain an active relationship with your guides, you can feel supported on a deeper level. Life can take on greater depth as you align with their healing, expansive presence.
