INTRODUCTION TO SHAMANIC JOURNEYING

(February 5, April 15, May 6, August 5, October 7, & December 2, 2012)
Where: Private residence in Laguna Beach, CA

(Prior to the session I ask that you read Sandra Ingerman's book,
Shamanic Journeying: A Beginner's Guide)
This is a two-hour introduction to shamanic journeying. Most participants stay for the afternoon session of "Beyond the Basics" to practice their new skills.
In this class we will connect with our power animals and compassionate spirit allies for the purpose of healing ourselves and our communities. This is an experiential course where we will enter non-ordinary reality using the shamanic journey and other techniques. Journeying is the foundational tool for shamanic study and healing and provides the passageway that has been used for centuries to obtain information from other dimensions, realms, and realities. Through the journeying process, you can receive information, knowledge and wisdom which you can utilize for solving problems, gaining clarity about life’s circumstances, or simply to build your awareness and understanding of the different worlds beyond. Journeying is a perfect way to learn what direction is needed in your life to facilitate wholeness.
Shamanic journeying is a prerequisite for all other classes.

RESTORING PERSONAL POWER: SHIFTING THE PARADIGM OF BELIEF
When: Saturday, March 17, 2012
Time: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Where: Private residence in Laguna Beach, CA
Fee: $115 (Pre-payment required to hold space)
The challenges we experience take us to the core of our fears and even ask us to reevaluate where and how we live. When we find ourselves caught up in the instability around us, we must find our inner equilibrium. It is during these challenging situations that the invitation to go deep presents itself. When we trust Divine Love and willingly plunge into the inner realms, we find the subconscious limiting beliefs that keep us from thriving. In our changing times we need to let go of old limiting fears and beliefs and claim the power-filled life that our soul came here to experience.
This experiential workshop will explore the power of thought, word, and ritual to make the shift into creating the positive future your heart desires. We will use shamanic journeying, visualization, and creative expression to release subconscious limiting beliefs and restore personal power.
Prerequisites: At least one successful shamanic journey

In Nature, we can find guidance about all life's mysteries and all issues in our individual life circumstances. When we learn to read the signs, omens and messages in nature we enter into a magical world of communication with the spirits of nature.
Join Gretchen in this experiential workshop on the land where we will explore the power of nature to provide insight and wisdom.

Where: Private residence in Laguna Beach, CA

Not all our ancestors have been wise and loving in their choices. When hearts and minds and hopes were broken, their woundings resulted in traumas that have been passed down through our DNA. Connecting with the gifts and talents that you inherited and recognizing the sacrifices your ancestors made provides a healing environment for releasing the past through forgiveness and love.
This powerful experiential workshop will explore family patterns and subconscious limiting beliefs that need to be released, for the past, the present, and the future.
Prerequisites: At least one successful shamanic journey
