—– MONTHLY STUDY GROUPS —–

Psychic/Spiritual Development Monthly Study Group

In-Person or Zoom

Wednesday, June 9, 2021

6:30-8:30 PM

29 Davis Road, Burlington, CT 06013

For most classes, you will need your journal or notebook and (optional) pendulum and clear quartz crystal. To increase your receptivity, it is advisable to eat a light dinner before class rather than a dense, heavy meal.

In this study group, you will be introduced to new topics and review previous topics. Our goal is to grow, explore, experiment, unfold, and blossom, both individually and as a group. Everyone has wonderful gifts, ready to be developed, to contribute to the well being of all. In order to be of service to others, professionally or personally, we must practice self-care. Let this be something you do just for YOU!
There is a very strong connection between spiritual growth and psychic development. Every session starts with a positive, light-filling exercise and includes topics such as spirit guides, palmistry, oracle cards, pendulums, energy healing, etc..Reclaim your intuitive gifts, assist others and live life more joyfully.

Please have a journal or notebook, pendulum or something similar, and a clear quartz crystal in you have one. We often use Soul Cards, Decks 1 & 2 by Deborah Koff-Chapin. (Amazon offers them at a reduced price.) It is not necessary to have them unless you wish to practice on your own.

It is helpful to gradually create a sacred bag or box to keep and carry your crystal, pendulum, journal, special personal object, and small cloth or mat. If you are attending in-person, please show your earth love by bringing a refillable water bottle for the water dispenser and/or mug for our complementary teas. There will be paper cups available as well.

GOOD TO KNOW: Seating choices are folding chairs or back-jacks. We will sometimes meet outside around the fire pit and waterfall. Bring a jacket or sweater or wrap if desired. The only step is the short one at the sliding glass door. The restroom is also on the ground floor. Please park in the driveway is you have difficulty walking. If you’re able to walk down our driveway, kindly park on the street.  Our very friendly dog, Luna, may join us from time to time.

6:30- 8:30 PM

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

REGISTRATION

Class is returning to the pre-pandemic fee of $25 ($20 for elders over 65, veterans, and full time students)

If paying for class during these difficult times is a hardship, you are still welcome to join us. Please email me regarding your wish to attend.

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.

We will travel from the outermost, spiritual layers into the physical layers, clearing and balancing the seven major chakras. When we reach the cellular level, participants will be invited to individualize the healing intentions to suit personal needs. We will end with compassionate global transmission of healing intentions to all beings.

FREE “Read, Giggle and Breathe” for kids

Laughter has been proven to have many benefits. On an energetic level, laughter causes our molecules to vibrate more rapidly, making them lighter and less dense. Lightness is exactly what we all need right now, especially our children! Join us for some simple breathing exercises and a reading of silly poems by Shel Silverstein from “Where the Sidewalk Ends”, one of the most beloved children’s books of all time. Let’s take time to read, giggle and breathe together! (other authors or books may be introduced)
