Fierce Compassion & Authentic Living

Seek the heart's rhythm, its wisdom, its power, its truth.
Embody that truth, your own authentic essence, in your life, in the world.
This 6-week course will help you to center in your own heart in a powerful and authentic way.Although online, the class will be experiential, incorporating shamanic and eastern spiritual practices, including shamanic drumming journeys, meditation, forgiveness and loving-kindness practices, and writing exercises. Class size is limited for active participation.

Heart Quest
with Amanda Zabel and Nancy Petrik
Today, in this busy world, we are woefully disconnected from our hearts...what we long for, what we feel,
what we know. A "Heart Quest" provides the opportunity to re-connect to your heart while immersing yourself
in the natural world. There is a relationship here...our connection with heart and our connection with nature are
related. The Natural World will guide you, hold you, and challenge you as you fall longingly into your heart center.
This 3 night wander is an opportunity for you to spend time in a beautiful setting in nature, walking the land, listening to the wild and tending your heart. This is an all-camping event, with all meals provided. A solo night option is available, taking your tent into the landscape and spending 24 hours alone in solitude to dive deeper into your heartspace.
September 23-26, 2010
Location: Abundance Summitt, Crumpler, NC
Guide Fee: $300 ($275 before August 23rd)

Shamanic Nature
A 5-week online course with Sandra Phocas
This online experiential course will delve into shamanic practices working with the energy and spirits of nature. This class is for those already familiar with basic shamanic journeying and the shamanic perspective. Although it is an online class, it will be largely experiential, working with shamanic drumming journeys, shapeshifting practices, nature-based meditations, and group sharing with the class. Thus it will focus not on abstract theory, but on practicing and integrating shamanic tools and experiences into daily life.
This class will:
- deepen your relationships with the elements and nature spirits
- increase energetic fluidity as well as ease in shifting states of
consciousness
- increase intuitive connection and discernment in navigating shamanic
terrain
- tap into the healing power of nature
Since this class is offered online, there are no geographic barriers to participation. Class size will be limited to allow for active participation. Each class will also be recorded, so that if class members are unable to participate at the class time, they can listen later. There will be a private Facebook group page exclusively for class members, for sharing journeys, questions, and having discussions about class topics. Sandy will monitor the page, bringing in further perspectives on what is shared and answering questions.

Past Life Regression
Experiential Class with Sandra Phocas
|
This is an opportunity to experience your past lives directly through hypnosis-induced regression!
In traveling to past lifetimes, one finds increased perspective on the current lifetime and can heal emotions and unhealthy patterns, as well as receiving new perspectives. This is done using hypnosis to enter into a deep, focused state of relaxation that is not limited by the normal perceptions of space, time, or perspective. Belief in past lives is not necessary, as entering into the experience itself is healing—and it can also be seen symbolically, as one might view a dream.
• Online class: Friday, September 10, 2010, 7-9:30 pm
Cost: $25 Advance registration required.

Simply lie down with your blanket and pillow, close your eyes, set your intention, and drift away. Everyone is welcome.

Alexander and Shanton will provide the carrier wave that will steer you though your own personal ride.
Some of the sounds you will experience will be quartz crystal bowls, Tibetan metal bowls, didgeridoo, Native American flute, shakers, Udo, Sitar, and various indigenous instruments.

Holotropic Breathwork™ workshops
with Sandra Phocas
Holotropic Breathwork™ is a powerful process that allows deep self-exploration, transformation, and healing at all levels of self. Drawing on ancient healing and spiritual practices, Holotropic Breathwork uses the power of breath and evocative music to help you access a non-ordinary state of consciousness. That state opens one to the innate healing intelligence or wisdom that is deep within the universe and within each of us. This brings to us just what we need at that time for our growth, healing, and spiritual unfolding. Thus, the experience is unique to each person and each breathing session.
