Who will be become when pay attention to spirit and join in love and kindness with others? I am offering a series of study sessions that will connect to the dream time/light energy. Because you are a human living on this earth, your ancestors at some time lived in a Shamanic culture. This ancestral wisdom resides in you. When we first breathe air on this Earth, we combine three deeply rooted and complicated
sources of energy:
the energy of our spiritual self/ our soul, second, the energy of our physical self/ our body and it's DNA
and third, our intention for this lifetime. These energy sources connect us to the energy of our ancestors.
Some of these old energy patterns are shifting and transmuting at this time. The classes I will teach in
2024/2025 are in support of building and reinforcing our connection with spirit
and nourishing and healing ourselves.
If have any concerns that you are not ready to take these classes, please contact me. As I have immersed myself in Shamanic Practices over the past 30 years, I have learned that shamanic practices are mostly about energy and relationship. Energy in that you have too much or too little energy or another source of energy may be interfering with your energy or your energy may have been lost or stolen.
Relationship is with guides and helpers who reside outside time and space. They are the mystical energy shifters who partner with you. Relationship with guides and helpers is established one journey at a time. Each journey is unique to the practitioner and the guides who partner with them.
The goal is the achieve balanced energy.
In September 2024, I will begin teaching these study sessions. We will work with each other, the helping spirits, nature and Gaia to support the reemerging story about our connection to each other and the earth, as we experience the old colonization myths of: them and us and disconnection from nature collapse. We will empower ourselves to be "agents of change" through the path of direct revelation with shamanic journeying and other activities. I will provide the structure including art activities. I have a Master's degree in Art Therapy. Each person in these study sessions will bring unique information to the experience. Each study session will cost $200. I expect a commitment to all five sessions. I will accept up to 12 students for these five study sessions.
We will meet at Whispers, 1702 Woodland, Des Moines. The sessions will be as follows:
Exploring the Sacred Mysteries
September 27-28, 2024
Friday 6:30 to 9:00 Saturday 9:00 to 5:00
We will focus on the practice of Conscious Mediumship. In this session you will learn your personal style of mediumship, warding skills, discernment and control, attunement skills and protocols for practice. You will also learn conscious mediumship skills, including how to align with your true self, your soul group, higher beings including angels and deities and to become a channel for their loving expression of wisdom.
Connecting with Nature and the Hidden Folk
November 1-2, 2024
Friday 6:30 to 9:00 Saturday 9:00 to 5:00
In this session we will focus on connecting with Nature Spirits and the Faery Folk who surround us each day. One of the core beliefs of shamanism is that everything is alive and everything has spirit. Every breath we take, every gulp of water we swallow and everything we eat comes from the earth and nature. Our atmosphere is so shallow we can walk out of it. This session will find us partnering with Nature in the many forms it takes on Earth, including nature spirits, faery folk, the elements, weather and all of life.
Life, Death and the Unquiet Dead
February 21-22, 2025
Friday 6:30 to 9:00 Saturday 9:00 to 5:00
In a shamanic culture every person in the community has knowledge of energy hygiene and how to keep their communities in balance. In modern cultures we have lost this knowledge. One of the consequences of this loss of knowledge is that persons who die unexpectedly or die with unfinished business may not cross to the light. In this study group you will learn about filling yourself with energy, the after death realms, tracking a person's energy, helping lost souls to cross to the light, near death experiences and about suffering beings who can overshadow us with their energy.
Energy Clearing with the Ancestors
April 18-19, 2025
Friday 6:30 to 9:00 and Saturday 9:00 to 5:00
When we first breathe air on this Earth, we inherit two deeply rooted and complicated sources of energy: the energy of soul which enters our body with our first breath and exits with our last breath, and the energy carried in our body, our DNA/ancestral patterns. These energies unite, physically, spiritually and energetically as we become alive. In this session we will focus on our ancestors and the patterns we recognize they have shared with us. These patterns can bring gifts to us or can bring difficulty. As we review review and name our ancestral patterns, we will learn from the guides what action may need to happen to resolve any issues. Curse Unraveling is one of the skills you will learn. Our soul energy may also carry tangled energy from a past life that requires healing.
Faces of the Soul: Personal Work
June 13-14, 2025
Friday 6:30 to 9:00 Saturday 9:00 to 5:00
This last session will focus on personal work using creative expression. In the first study session you will begin a journal of conversations with you guides and helpers about the healing work that will benefit you the most during this time and into the future. Possibilities for projects may include creating a ceremony, making a mask or a spirit doll or more. This process will be unique to each person and the group will support you as you wish and need.
