Each of our chakras maintain an intimate relationship with color. Color is used not only to represent our chakras, but as a method to connect and help heal imbalances in our energy system and ultimately in our lives. In this class we will use artistic mediums and a playful spirit to explore our chakras and allow our rainbow of light to shine! Call 412.741.1888 or email for more information & to sign up.
Rise up into Goddess! Activate your Goddess! Heed her call! Now more than ever, the planet is needing to bring back into balance the energy of the Sacred Feminine. As a planet, we have been operating under a dominantly masculine energy. It is time to bring harmony and balance back to humanity, Mother Earth, and ourselves. In order to do so, we are being called to reawaken the Goddess energy that has been suppressed by activating the Goddess within ourselves. The energy of the Solar Feminine is upon us. It is time to renew our Goddess and activate our Power, Creativity, and Light, so that the Goddess can rise once again. When you have made the decision to heed the call of your Sacred Feminine Self, to remember your roots and rise up into Goddess, it is time for your Goddess Activation. In this interactive workshop we will reawaken our creativity, and renew our Goddess-selves. We will tap into the flow of the Universal Source, use guided meditation, sacred symbols, movement, and sound. Having tapped into our Divine light of the Sacred Solar Feminine we will then take this light out into the world. You will leave having more clarity about your purpose, how you can most brightly shine, and what steps you need to take next on this luminous path. Call 412.741.1888 or email for more information & to sign up. A Shaman’s Doorway II: -

Synchronize With Sacred Time Classes are $45 each or $170 if you pay for all 4 in one payment. We have 5 years left until December 21, 2012 and many of us are wondering what the Mayans saw when they ended their calendar (which dates back to “The Big Bang”) in our lifetime. What does this end-date mean? What can we learn from the Mayan Calendar about our present-day situations, both personal and collective? Join us for a lively interactive discussion and exploration of the Mayan Calendar with Carol Ann Ciocco. Class One – September 27, 2007 – What is the Mayan Calendar? We will explore the origins of the Calendar, the different types of calendars created by the Mayans, and the basic theories of the major modern Mayan Calendar authors and the 2012 end-date.Why does it seem like Time is Speeding Up? In this class, we will explore in detail the theories of Mayan Scholar Carl Johann Calleman, and his book “The Mayan Calendar: The Greatest Mystery of Our Time.” We will study the 6 days and 7 nights of the Galactic Underworld and the Mayan Calendar as a Map of Creation. We will also look into the ‘speeding up of time’ and how the Mayan Calendar explains this phenomenon. This class will culminate in a Meditation uniting us with the Global Brain and the Heart of our Galaxy (Hunab Ku). (Handouts and information will be provided.) Class Two – October 11, 2007 – What is Sacred or Holy Time and how can we Synch-up with it? In this class we will explore the unique creative energies of each day as described by the 20 Tzolkin and the 13 Tones. We will look at our own personal Day-Sign and discuss ways that we can plug into the cycles of Sacred Time, personally and as a culture. Class Three – October 25, 2007 – Looking ahead to 2012 – what is ahead for us in the next 5 years? We will look at ways we can successfully work with the intense energies of this time, and will experience a special Guided Meditation where we explore the Hunab Ku - the Heart of our Galaxy and the place where Time originates, according to the Mayans. Classes are $45 each or $170 if you pay for all 4 in one payment. Pre-registration is required! Call 412.741.1888 or email for more information & to sign up. UPCOMING EVENTS ~ October 2007 |
