Sat03Mar2018Shamanic Ceremonies: Transforming Reality
Sat. 10-5 Maine Audubon's Gilsland Farm Center 20 Gilsland Farm Road Falmouth, MaineCeremonies involve the entire being. As such, it has always been a powerful tool used by shamans to transform the self, and the world around us. In this program, we will look at how ceremony works, how to create powerful ceremonies, how ceremonial actions cooperate with the continuous creative action of the cosmos, and how you can use ceremonies to change how you think and feel.
During our time together you will experience:
• How ceremony can be used to reprogram your outmoded or counterproductive beliefs
• How to use ceremony to bridge the intangible nature of the spirit and the physical world
• How simple shamanic offering ceremonies can support actualizing transformation
This experiential one-day workshop is designed to support you to work the threads of reality to transform yourself and the world around you.

Letting Go Of Limiting Beliefs, Patterns and Stories
REGISTER HERE:https://www.welloflight.com/new-moon.html
As the Autumn Equinox approaches, we will again experience the trees shedding their leaves. Just as the other plants have given their all to release seeds that will lie in the earth until springtime, this annual release of leaves is an act of dismemberment for the purpose of future growth.
As we experience our human culture trying to hold onto what is outmoded and contrary to life’s fullness, we have the opportunity to follow nature’s guidance and “shed our skins” while simultaneously beginning the process of “planting” our own inevitable springtime. Planting seeds in ourselves to support what we wish to see flower, not just this month, but as we go forward in our lives.Evelyn C. Rysdyk is an internationally recognized shamanic practitioner and best selling author of whose titles include, The Norse Shaman, Spirit Walking, a Course in Shamanic Power, A Spirit Walker’s Guide to Shamanic Tools, and the soon-to-be-published collaborative work, The Nepalese Shamanic Path: Practices for Negotiating the Spirit World with Bhola N. Banstola. www.spiritpassages.com
Michael Stone is the host and producer of the Shift Network’s The Shamanism Global Summit and KVMR’s Conversations, which interviews leading edge thinkers, authors and activists in the areas of Environmental Restoration, Social Justice, and Spiritual fulfillment.Michael is the author of Living a Shamanic Way of Life.

Embraced by and Embracing Spirit: Living a Shamanic Life
Through the practice of shamanism, you have begun to experience a greater sense of unity with nature, the underlying pervasiveness of sacred energies, and your own intrinsic spiritual power and beauty. You have gone on shamanic journeys, created ceremonies, and participated in this remarkable community—and yet you may also feel a growing longing for more. There at the edges of your consciousness is an awareness of the growing potential of a Great Awakening. For six millennia, Western culture has generated separate, ever-smaller compartments to define the parameters of life. In narrowing our vision to examine everything down to its most miniscule components, our collective lost the broader perspective of humanity, nature, and the cosmic unity that suffuses our existence. It is a soul illness that needs to be healed to assure the continuity of life on our planet. For as long as time remembers, shamans have been called upon to work with the spirits, heal wounds, and support a restoration of cooperation for the good of all beings. Your soul embodied at this time to participate in a great metamorphosis of what it means to be a human being. It involves remediating the misperceptions you were indoctrinated with that limit your personal power—as well as claiming your birthright as a divine being. Let us energize a new vision of life that is heart-connected, whole, and more joyful—together! During our time together you will: *Learn how to bring your shamanic practice into everyday life *Remember how gratitude provides spiritual sustenance *Reawaken your birthright as an earth-based, conscious human *Strengthen your spiritual foundations *Participate in a ceremony to energize a new vision of unity—inside and around youRegister here:

Saturday 10-5Maine Audubon's Gilsland Farm Center
20 Gilsland Farm Road Falmouth, MaineLearn how to work with the incredible powers of the Old Ones — ancient, Earth spirits who enliven and protect the land. People have called them by many different names — fairies, devas, elves, green men — but these spirits have existed far longer than humans and our definitions. Since these spirits and forces are so integral to manifestation on this plane, you will learn how you can enter into and develop relationships with them. Working with them can support you on your path of dreaming a new way of being into reality.
