Greetings!
After a long winter of strange weather it’s delightful to send out this newsletter which looks forward to all things spring. We’ve made some changes to course layouts to accommodate the distances some people are having to travel. Many of the workshops listed are being focused all in one day, usually on a weekend. As students gather skills we are advancing the technical difficulty of some courses to accommodate their growth. This newsletter also contains the information on the spring equinox celebration.
Gatherings: Spring equinox gathering Sunday, March 19 1 PM to 3 PM. Potluck nibbles. Please register to ensure we have a seat for you.

Introduction to Shamanism: As medicine people, we are concerned about the correct teachings of traditional medicine practice. We are offering these teachings to those who are certain that this is part of their path. These studies are meant for people of all races, creeds and religions, but like any other spiritual study, this is not for everyone. This information is sacred. Therefore the classes will be limited to those with a sincere desire to learn. This workshop covers shamanic practices of the northeast, and topics include: sacred medicine objects and their use, ethics, healing traditions, ceremonies, correct use of spirit herbs, dream walking, spirit walking, totem animals, and shapeshifting. Be prepared to bring whatever medicine/sacred objects you have. Please bring your lunch/snacks/beverages. Notebooks and pens are needed. Sunday April 9, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. $80.00
Aboriginal Healing Introduction: A basic course - we look at the uses of traditional medicine objects of the northeast, and the basic healing rituals that a medicine person performs.

Sunday April 23, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. $80.00
