Trancing the Inner Landscape: Ecstatic Body Postures

The Island of Avalon is an embodiment of the Goddess in the landscape;
indeed, the outline of the island itself resembles a woman in repose
across the British countryside. A place of pilgrimage since time
immemorial, the unique transformational energies of the Glastonbury
landscape have always been considered sacred. Believed by some to be
the heart chakra of the planet, the place where ancient Avalon once
dwelt still attracts spiritual seekers from all over the world.

Inspired by the Ecstatic Trance Posture work of Anthropologist
Felicitas Goodman, Avalonian Landscape Postures are a meditative
journeying discipline that permits the seeker to connect with and
explore the alchemical geomantic energies of the Island of Avalon by
adapting meditative poses which approximate the forms of Glastonbury’s
unusual landscape features -- features which include mineral-rich
springs, a spiraled hill, and a mist-enshrouded lake. In assuming
these postures, we are able to experience facets of the Avalonian
landscape even as we awaken their transformational energies in our own
lives. As we explore the Holy Island, we come to a deeper
understanding of our own sacred nature. As we connect with Center, we
are drawn ever nearer in relationship with Source.

Together, we will explore the symbolic significance of major sites in
the Glastonbury landscape, discuss their mythic and historic context,
and highlight their relevance to the spiritual pilgrim of today.
Accompanied by Shamanic drumming, we will have an opportunity to
experience a trance posture journey to the Holy Isle in a safe,
sacred, and supported environment.

Dancing Your Spark Into Flame

Bringing words into the body, this active workshop highlights the "Fanning Your Spark into Flame" approach with movement and dances that encourage participants to feel the shifts in their bodies. Connecting to our Essence is not a theoretical manoeuvre. It is a sensation we actively experience in the core of our beings, which flows out from us and brightens all we touch and do. Meditative movements and simple dances that one can carry from SPARKS into a daily practice will give participants tangible elements that they can apply in their own lives.

The Gift of Boundaries

The Gift of Boundaries focuses on understanding personal and professional boundaries at all levels; emotional, physical, energetic, and then creating systems for drawing boundaries that allow the experience of connection without interference and the potentially hazardous exchange of energies. It is useful to have a step-by-step process to guide us in developing a personal routine that ensures our psychic/energetic health.

The Key to Success

Exploring The Key, Viridian Method, and Legacy…The Key (Ki) is a magical, enchanting tale of how you can create personal wellbeing, professional success, and relationship harmony through a series of ‘right brain’ philosophies. Especially powerful for people who run (or would like to run) a spiritual or creative business, The Key uses spiritual philosophies that focus primarily on you and your uniqueness, and then your every aspect of your life.

Blended with the multi-dimensional magic of the Viridian Method, we see how deep changes in the Universe are affecting us more and more as we approach the ‘Endtime’ of 2012 (The core-ethos of VM). And how old perspectives towards life and success are now obsolete.

Understanding these principles can help you create your Legacy - the gift you leave behind for others to discover. For we all create a Legacy, by default or by design. The more you live your Legacy into being, the longer yours will last and the more you can help others to transform their own lives for years to come.

Reclaiming Your Life Through the Four Facets

When the Fifth Chakra is out of balance, it can lead to experiencing chronic low energy, have a negative impact on the immune system and cause us to be inflexible, ungrounded and in great opposition to change.  Life IS change and particularly when we face circumstances such as a cancer diagnosis or other chronic illness, job loss, becoming a caregiver, the passing of a loved one or other major challenges it can feel like we have no say in the matter.

In this workshop, you will learn about the Four Facets ~ physical, mental, emotional and spiritual ~ and how to use choice to powerfully shift from feeling stuck, stressed or overwhelmed by change to being able to thrive in your life no matter what challenging circumstances you may be facing.  To close, Tambre will guide you through a powerful exercise that puts you in the presence of all your greatness and the gift you are to the Universe as you reclaim your life. 

By the end of this session you will:
Understand three secret ways to boost your physical energy level
Uncover the thoughts that hold you hostage and keep you in JAIL
Discover the power of letting go of shoulds and have tos so you can come from a place of choice
Tap into the experience of pure joy when you give voice to who you truly are

Creating Clay Labyrinths

In this workshop we will be creating small finger labyrinths out of clay. The finger labyrinth is inspired by the transformational power of a labyrinth. It functions like a full-size walking labyrinth, where one walks to further relaxation, meditation and prayer. Instead of walking it, one uses their fingers to trace the path instead of feet. When using two finger labyrinths, one left handed and one right handed, both sides of the brain begin to work as one leading to enhanced relaxation and creativity. Supplies are needed and will be provided in class for purchase.

72 Angels of the Kabbalah and Astrology

As everyone is familiar with, Astrology works with the Zodiac: 12 signs making up 360 degrees. When those 360 degrees are divided by 5 degrees, the result is 72 sections. In this workshop, Norah will guide participants through the Medieval Christian Kabbalah which corresponds the Sephirods of the Tree of Life to the Planets and introduces the 72 Angels. Each of these Angels govern 5 degrees in the Zodiac (or 6 Angels to each Zodiac sign). In actuality there are Angels for each day and hour. This workshop focuses on identifying the Angels, their powers and how to contact them. A special focus will be given to identifying the Angel at the moment you were born: who gives us protection in our life and the Angel who will help us during the hard times.

It's Reiki, but not as you know it...

Every fleeting moment of your life is precious, yet when we get swept up in the everyday challenges of our circumstances, we forget how to get the most from the time we have. Millions of people, all over the globe, have discovered the wonders of Reiki therapies and use these to heal themselves and others. Yet, ‘Reiki’ is so much more than healing - and in many ways, we limit the potential of Reiki, but treating it as such.

Reiki can empower your life in every aspect - from relationships to business, health to financial abundance. When you harness the innate potency of Reiki, you literally express the divine through your life and your legacy. In this introduction to the ‘Reiki Revolution’, you’ll discover the myths that hinder Reiki Masters everywhere, the secrets that open up whole new regions of spiritual enlightenment, and the truth about Reiki that has been forgotten. 

Whether you are a complete novice or a seasoned Reiki Master, the Reiki Revolution will open your mind, heart, and eyes to the ancient mysteries that modern Reiki training simply does not teach. Unlock your hidden Reiki powers with Martyn Pentecost, originator of Celtic Reiki, vReiki, and over fifteen other forms of complementary therapy… and join the revolution!

Creating Wands and Intention Sticks

Wands have long been utilized as a means through which to direct energy, connecting one to higher energies and focusing that energy into the world. There are many ornate and beautiful wands available in shops, but there is nothing so unique and empowering as the creation of one's own. As is said in Harry Potter, "The wand chooses the wizard" : moreso true when the wand is the result of the creative dialogue between the creator and the creation. Similar to wands, intention sticks hold the energy of a specific vision, hope or intent. They are literally "a prayer on a stick". This workshop will guide participants through the process of creating either a wand (for general use) or an intention stick (to use as a meditative, vision-building guide). Supplies are needed and will be provided in class for purchase.

Weaving Transformation: The Art of the Celtic Corn Dolly

The corn dolly is a traditional Celtic craft which is still very
popular today in parts of Wales and Ireland. These beautiful projects,
known as wheat weavings in North America, take many forms; their
interlaced patterns are strongly reminiscent of Celtic knotwork
designs. Learning how to create wheat weavings is an excellent way to
connect with these ancient practices, and can be a powerful tool of
meditation and focus. Together, we will share in this folk tradition
and each create a corn dolly to represent the bounty of the soul’s
harvest, while also looking ahead to plant the seeds of the soul’s
potential in the cycle to come.
