Upcoming Workshops and Events

March 5-7, 2010- Earth Connections Weekend in Tomah WI

Fairy Houses and Sacred Drum Making
May 15-16th Grand Rapids, MI

Come experience the “birthing” of your own sacred drum and play with the Spirits of the Fairy Realm

The rhythmic beat of a drum is like the heartbeat of our Mother, of Mother Earth and our Soul all wrapped up into one. In this workshop you will intentionally and with great love, make your own sacred drum, to use for space clearing, for ritual, or even private meditation and inward journeys. What a beautiful way to connect to ourselves as we also deepen our connection with the Earth. These drums are of the highest quality and are more valuable than anything you could buy, because your heart and soul and intentions are placed in it from the very beginning.

Come and also play in the Wisconsin woods with the Spirits of the Fairy Realm as we build houses from natural items found in Nature. Meet the four levels of Elementals and begin your journey of connecting with them in a very real way. Through meditation and walks out-of-doors you will rekindle your spiritual relationship with these beings of place; who care for and protect our earth every day. A handmade fairy house becomes your personal touchstone for divine connection with this otherworldly dimension. You may bring your own stones and natural items in use, along with those abundantly supplied in class.

Dr. Toby Israel, PHD - Home Therapy Workshop

Redecorating? Remodeling? Buying a new home OR…
Stuck? In transition? Not sure what move to make next?

In this series of three interactive workshops, Dr. Toby Israel will help you "design from within" to create a home that not only looks good, but supports your positive growth and change.
Knowledge gained will be translated into a “Design Psychology Blueprint”—specific guidelines for home choice, space planning, style, color, furniture and other elements to be used as a catalyst for life-enhancing design.

For home owners, home buyers, designers—anyone interested in creating a nurturing home with meaning and soul—not just a cookie-cutter place.

with Vincent Bridges and Dan Winter, MAY 21-28

Each year, thousands of gypsies and pilgrims travel to the picturesque seaside town of Saintes Marie de la Mer to participate or witness this incredible Gypsy age-old ritual. It is held in honour of Sara the Black or Black Sarah, the patron Saint of Gypsies and the three Marys - Mary Magdelene, Mary Jacob and Mary Salome - which give the place its name as the 'Marys of the Sea'. The pilgrimage includes an impassioned all-night vigil and a procession leading a statue of Sara down to the sea where she is ritually washed in the cleansing waters. Like all good gatherings, the event is accompanied by music, dancing and feasting.
A unique tour and conference event based on the latest research, presented here for the first time, of internationally known Nostradamus authority Vincent Bridges, connecting Nostradamus’ prophecies with Leonardo Da Vinci’s most heretical art and providing clues to Provence’s ancient, almost forgotten, variety of early Christianity. It was this alternative form of Christianity that provided the historical and spiritual underpinning of the original Grail legends. We will explore, on the ground, the locations and images of the true history of the Grail, from the Grail Castle of Les Baux to St. Trophime’s hermitages and the Alyscamp, the most renowned of medieval burial grounds to the quarries of Glanum and the standing stone of Da Vinci’s Virgin in the Rocks, from the gypsies of Ste. Maries-de-le-Mer to the rugged grottoes of the Magdalene, and of course, the lost city of Glanum Livii and its nympheum, center point of Provence’s accidental pentagram.
