Medicine wheel gardens and more!

It's wonderful to feel the energy of Mother Earth waking up. I love how the sun moves us forward Into the new season. We've decided to update the courses in this post. You will note that after 19 years Medicine Wheel Garden is being taught again!  This course is already filling up so if you have any intention of coming please pre-register with your course fee as soon as possible as we are limited to 12 registrants. We hope you have a fabulous season and can perhaps join us for either the Spring Equinox ceremony or Summer Solstice. Enjoy this fabulous spring.  2016 Spring Courses & Gatherings Making Sacred Objects / General Crafting: *Course Update* Since our dreamcatcher and Shamanic wands courses were cancelled due to weather, we're offering the chance to make these items during this particular class. For students who want to finish drums or medicine bags there is no charge.  Those students who want to make dream catchers or wands, the fee is $44. Feel free to come along and join us for the afternoon.  It is helpful if you bring tools like pliers and scissors . Pre-registration is absolutely necessary as space is limited. Saturday March 26th 1 to 4 p.m. Feel free to bring a snack! Medicine Wheel Garden Workshop: It’s been 19 years since we offered this class. This two-day version covers our sacred garden style.   We discuss raised bed techniques, companion planting, moon cycle theory, harvesting and crop rotation.   We look at the moon and planting cycles, how to make medicines over the winter, what plants to consider for this spring, biodiversity and more.   Information on seed suppliers will be shared, and some seeds will be made available for sale and exchange.   Students need a binder.  Sundays April 24 and May 1, 1 – 4 PM. $80.00 Dowsing - Beginner & Advanced: This popular course is divided into 2 full days over two weekends.  This is an interesting look at the two forms of kinesiological interaction with our higher selves.  This course demonstrates the use of a single, suspended pendulum and 2 L-rod dowsing sticks.  We should have good enough weather to assure lots of practice outside doing geomantic dowsing, and learn radiesthetic dowsing for healing work.  This class also looks at ley lines, vortices and ghost paths.  Please bring potluck lunch both days, a binder, pen, crystals, pendulums and L-rods if you have them.  We have pendulums and L-rods at a nominal fee for those students who require them.  Saturdays June 11 and June 18. 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM. $80.00 Potluck lunch. Psychospiritual Development – Intermediate/Open Level: More channelling, more general exercises and more homework!  Students need to dress comfortably, and bring a notebook.   (Prerequisite - Beginner Level). Thursdays June 2 to July 21 inclusive, 7 – 10 PM. $125.00 Gift Certificates are available and may be used towards course fees, services or anything in the studio.
