—– MONTHLY STUDY GROUPS —–

PSYCHIC/SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT

Is this the month that you are finally ready to join our Psychic/Spiritual Development Monthly Study Group? Many of CT’s most respected readers began their training in this very group! Did you know that EVERYONE is highly intuitive and deeply spiritual? Are you getting the feeling that there is something more that you should be doing with your life? Have you always felt a little different than most people? Do you often get intuitive “hits” about everyday things? Do you wish you could become more spiritual in a natural and comfortable way? Join a group which has been meeting monthly for more than 10 years and welcomes learners of all backgrounds and levels of experience.

There is a very strong connection between spiritual growth and psychic development. Every session of our monthly study group starts with a positive, light-filling exercise. Various spiritual empowerment and meditation techniques will be practiced as you learn how to develop gifts that can be used to assist others or to increase your own connection to spirit. Reclaim your intuitive gifts and live life more joyfully. These groups are for all levels; beginners who are just starting on their paths as well as experienced mediums and readers who are looking to broaden their gifts and become more confident in their abilities. Pendulums, crystals, various divination cards, the Chakra system, numerology, and palmistry will be introduced. Tibetan singing bowls and gong vibrations will assist in releasing resistance or blockages, creating space for continued growth. Energy healing will be explored and simple, safe soul rescue techniques will be shared. At times, we will partner with spirit guides and inter-galactic teachers who are willing to share their advanced knowledge and techniques with us. Group and individual practice exercises will accelerate your progress. Too often, people strive for heightening their psychic gifts alone, without concern for the spiritual responsibilities required to use these gifts. In this group, spiritual development is the primary focus and psychic development is the added bonus! You will be amazed at how quickly and confidently you will progress! Please bring a journal and pen, a pendulum and quartz crystal if you have them. There are some available to borrow or purchase. $25 ($20 for elders over 65, veterans and full time students)

6:30- 8:30 PM

This group meets on the second Wednesday of every month unless otherwise noted.

SHAMANIC STUDIES

Shamanism is the oldest known spiritual practice, dating back 60,000 to 100,000 years. It is practiced in all cultures, where shamans are sometimes known as medicine men or women. Based on the belief that the world is which we exist is merely an illusion, shamans strive to access the non-ordinary reality, divided into the Upper World, Lower World and Middle World. Access is gained via the shamanic journey, usually under the influence of drums, rattles or other instruments. These instruments are generally percussion instruments used to create sonics that vibrate at four beats per second. This beat guides the journey into theta brainwave activity, known to stimulate creative and spiritual experiences. These experiences foster deep, sacred connections and relationships with “All That Is”.

In this monthly study group, you will develop an understanding of cross-cultural shamanism and become adept at journeying as you work with animal and spirit helpers, and ancestral spirits as well as elemental energies. Usually, a journey begins with a sacred smudging ceremony to honor the elements of earth, air, fire, and water. In addition, smudging is a personal and group declaration that each person has come to the ceremony in a good and kind way, with an open heart, and with respect for the teachings. Then the spirits of the seven directions are welcomed and invited to share their teachings and influences. These seven directions are the North, East, South, West, Above, Below, and Within.

Teachings from various shamanic traditions will be explored and traditional and non-traditional approaches will be introduced. Native American, Australian, Ancient Egyptian, Tibetan, Mayan, and Central and South American shamanic teachings and practices will be explored. These study group is appropriate for any level of experience. All dedicated and compassionate people who wish to initiate positive change in the world are welcome. It should be clearly understood that shamanism is not a religion but rather an all inclusive spiritual practice. You will also participate in various shamanic ceremonies, often around our fire pit and waterfall. Sometimes, when there are specific needs, we offer group healing energies to beings and places struggling with natural or man-made disasters around the world. We will focus on healing and restoring balance to self, community, and the planet. As we work together to create and utilize community energy, you will learn group and individual healing techniques.

Please bring a notebook, eye covering, drum or rattle if you have one, a feather, and a fist sized rock. (There are many drums and rattles for sharing.) $25 ($ 20 for elders over 65, veterans and full time students)
You must preregister to reserve your space if you will be attending for the first time.

6:30- 8:30 PM

This group meets on the third Wednesday of every month unless otherwise noted.

“Shamanic Energy Rewiring”

(check back or join my email list for future dates!)

Sometimes our energy fields become wired to carry burdens and challenges , making it difficult to live joyful and healthy lives. These burdens may be recent or may have originated in generations before us and will affect generations yet to come. Tonight we will declare our willingness to identify and release, with love and gratitude, those energetic threads which hold our burdens. As we rewire our energy threads, we offer healing to both ancestors and descendants. We will end in celebration as all participants are invited to reclaim those things they have been longing for. We will extend this energetic healing to all beings in all places. Please have a journal and pen ready.
