Tues and Weds May 4, 5 The Teachings of the Medicine Wheel Led by Grandfather Rick McBride each day 9am to 6pm $250 includes 42 page manual ($125 for anyone who has taken this workshop with Grandfather Rick before and wishes to retake it)
In response to demand this workshop is being offered again. This two day, highly experiential workshop teaches the principles and concepts of what the ancient Native American Medicine Wheel is really about; a personal Life mirror and guide of exceptional accuracy. Each participant works a Personal Healing Wheel in the class. No previous knowledge of anything Native American is necessary to learn the Wheel and you will not find these teachings available in any of today’s’ popular literature. It includes a detailed 42 page manual and each participant works a Personal Healing Wheel in the class. Class size is kept small to maximize your experience and learning. Each point on the Wheel represents distinct qualities and spiritual characteristics. On those points, you'll place medicine helpers that you've chosen, at times for no obvious reason; just seems like the right animal/tree/gemstone, but you will soon see that the Spirits are guiding you. When the energies of the medicine helpers combine with the aspects of the point on the Wheel where they've been placed, a story emerges that will guide you, revealing the acquired traits or core beliefs that have previously blocked you. These are personal Healing Wheels. You will also learn about personal Free Form Wheels.
The Medicine Wheel works because it reveals unsupportive core beliefs, pointing you in a better direction, anchoring that new awareness into your physical body-memory. Some of the Benefits:
* Change mental patterns and emotional core beliefs that bring about disease before it manifests. Create mental and emotional conditions most conducive to healing the body. Create robust physical and mental health through raised self awareness, esteem, confidence and motivation. Discover and recast unsupportive Life patterns, completely, finally, and independently.
* Maintain emotional balance regardless of what is happening. It is emotional energy and memory that drives behavior, not intellect. If you want a better, more productive life, regardless of what is going on around you, this is the place to start: Learn to work with yourself instead of against yourself.
* Learn your financial strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots. Issues of worthiness and self-esteem express themselves outwardly, most commonly in physical and emotional health, finances, and relationships. Your most important relationship is with yourself: Do you respond to Life, or react to it?
Pearl writes: "In the 2 years that I have been studying with Rick I have learned ways to heal and vastly improve the quality of my life; I have taken many major steps forward towards finding happiness and inner peace. I can see that a profound shift has taken place within me at the inner level and is now manifesting at the outer level. Thank you Rick."
Grandfather Rick is a mixed blood Tsalagi (Cherokee) who has been a life-long student of American Indian Lifeways, actively participating in Native American ceremony for 25 years. He was formally taught advanced principles of the Medicine Wheel by Cheyenne Elder Hyemeyohsts Storm in 1994. He is a Sundancer and traditionally trained and authorized inipi (sweat lodge) leader with deep experience. Rick sees his place as that of "translator" of the Native American Lifeways to help anybody sincerely interested in learning how to become a better human being, his hope being to help achieve a proper balance in human race consciousness.

Thursday May 6 The Spiritual Teachings of White Eagle 7pm to 9pm no charge
White Eagle is a much loved spiritual guide who was channeled for over 50 years by a medium called Grace Cooke. He taught about reincarnation, karma, our spiritual journey and sending out the healing light. His teaching is exceptionally profound, loving and wise and has helped thousands of people all over the world take major steps forward on their journey. All his teaching is based on the "Ancient Wisdom" teachings about reincarnation and is NOT Native American teaching or spirituality. Since the death of Grace Cooke, his words are still available to everyone through a large number of books and CDs published by the White Eagle Publishing Trust and thousands of people have become familiar with his gentle teaching through reading these books. The White Eagle Lodge is the name for the international group of people who follow his teachings. There are White Eagle Lodge centers in the USA (the main center is in Texas), in Great Britain and in many countries worldwide. Pearl has been studying these teachings since the late 1980's, has been a member of the White Eagle Lodge since 1990 and an Inner Brother since 1996. She regularly leads these sessions in which she gives a brief explanation of the background to the teachings, and then reads from some of the White Eagle books, giving explanations and answering questions; those present also send out the healing light to all humanity. All are welcome and no previous knowledge is needed. Pearl leads these meetings in her capacity as a representative of the White Eagle Lodge (which is why there is no charge) and there is no connection between these meetings and any other aspect of her work.
"Nothing is real except the love and wisdom of God. You say: But the problem of suffering is very real to those who are passing through it. But we answer: the one who is suffering can find relief from that suffering through complete surrender to the goodness and love of God. Suffering comes because the individual is unaware of the presence of God."
Quotation from White Eagle's book: The Gentle Brother
Reiki students wanting to work on their spiritual growth are especially encouraged to attend!
Friday May 7 Drumming Circle, Drum Healing & Giveaway Blanket 7pm to 9pm Donations accepted with Grandfather Rick McBride
Bring your Native American style hand drums and rattles as we pray and sing for Global Peace and Personal Healing by drumming up the Spirits of the Land. Great personal healing occurs as the vibrations call the Spirits and wake up our hearts. Please feel free to join us even if you do not have your own drum or rattle: there will be some drums and rattles to share and learn on. If you do not wish to drum, you can shake a rattle and enjoy listening to the drumming. Grandfather Rick starts by smudging, and singing the Protection Song; he then calls the Four Directions, which puts us in Ceremony, thereby allowing him to sing the sacred songs in their original language.
You will also have the opportunity to stand in the middle of the circle and receive a very powerful individual drum healing from Grandfather Rick. You will feel the healing energy coming from his special healing drum as he stands in front of you and drums close to you. While the body is never physically touched, it is touched by the physical vibration, mental intention, and the spiritual energy that are channeled through it. Drum healing has little to do with the person handling the drum: it is the Spirits, it is the Earth Mother, it is Creator that passes that healing energy along to the recipient; that steady backbeat of everybody drumming in unison helps do that. Children are very welcome also (accompanied by a parent). This event is held indoors and is thus not dependent on weather conditions. For those of you who have enquired, the reason we say donations are accepted rather than charging for this event is because Grandfather Rick honors the traditional Native American Lifeways and never charges for Ceremony.
The giveaway is what it sounds like: we give something of value to us. The giveaway expresses love; it is an act of trust, teaching us to be generous, helping us forgive. If you participate (it is voluntary) bring a gift that has meaning to you that you've had for a year. Monetary value is not the issue: your giveaway is something you made, or found, or something you really like; it has learned who you are and carries your energy. We lay the gift on the blanket. Someone is chosen, usually the eldest or youngest, and they are handed a talking stick. They go to the blanket and pick up one thing they are drawn to. Once you touch it, you have to take it, so let your eyes do the choosing. When the giveaway item is chosen, the person who offered it says why it is special to them, where it came from, how long they've had it. After the story is told, it is their turn to choose. And so it goes, until that last giveaway is taken up. If you bring something for the blanket, make it for the same gender as you, or neutral. Giveaway blankets are fun and help us get out of material thinking, giving us a more trusting, liberated sense of freedom.
Saturday May 8 Reiki Level 2 10am to 6pm $150 includes 2 detailed manuals
This workshop is open to all who have done Reiki First Degree whether with Pearl or another teacher (in which case you will need to provide your Reiki 1 certificate). Reiki Second Degree opens you up to a whole new and much deeper level of Reiki energy: a quantum leap forward! You will receive the Reiki 2 attunement and this will connect you to three sacred Reiki symbols. You will learn how to draw the symbols, how to apply them and how to work with these symbols when giving a Reiki treatment. You also learn the words of power which accompany them. A particular focus of Reiki Second Degree is learning how to project distant healing. Each participant will get plenty of practical hands on experience of giving a Reiki treatment using the symbols and also of sending Reiki to someone not physically present. You will be aware immediately how using the symbols greatly enhances your Reiki energy!
You will also receive a Reiki treatment. You will receive Second Degree Reiki certification enabling you to continue to Reiki 3a and eventually Master level should you wish. To ensure everybody gets individual attention, only 6 people are accepted. Each workshop participant also receives a package of vouchers for half price one on one sessions with Pearl and discounts on workshops.
Weds May 12 Women’s Support Group every second Wednesday 7pm to 9pm $15 a session
In these challenging times, it seems almost everyone is going through difficulties in their life. It can be immensely beneficial to share what is happening to you with a group of compassionate women friends rather than face the challenges alone and not talk about them to anyone. We will listen supportively to each other, but the emphasis will at all times be on staying as positive and as optimistic as possible and learning whatever we need to learn from the challenges happening in our life. The number of participants will be limited so as to give more time to each individual person. Pearl will use her many years of experience to help each group participant understand what they need to learn from the difficulties and challenges happening in their life so that they can move forwards as quickly as possible. We will also look at what everyone can do to help themselves and explore different ideas, such as focussing on gratitude, saying affirmations, positive self-talk. You do not have to commit to coming every two weeks but please do register by 2pm on the days the group meets if you wish to attend, so that Pearl knows how many women are coming that evening.
Thursday May 13 Spiritual Awakening 7pm to 9pm $20
For many people there comes a time when they feel they are reassessing their spiritual beliefs, they may feel there is a spiritual aspect to life they have not yet fully contacted, a way to understand and make sense of things so that life flows more smoothly. They may think we reincarnate many times but not be certain as to why this is so.If you have been thinking about the questions of reincarnation and of how to take a more spiritual approach to your life, this workshop will help you understand what spiritual awakening is all about, what your life purpose is in this incarnation, how to gain and use tools for spiritual success, how to make spiritual progress. We will look at how to understand the reasons for the patterns and major events of your life, so that you can make progress. There will be a question and answer session, so come with all your questions! Pearl will also help each workshop participant know what they have to do to further their own spiritual awakening.
Friday May 14 Loom Beading Craftshop Starts 7pm $30 includes materials with Grandfather Rick McBride (register by May 12 please)
In this new craftshop you will learn to bead on a loom. You will be introduced to a craft that can be taken to the level of fine art. Introduced to Indian Country back in colonial times, Native Americans soon mastered the art of beading and are now known world-wide for their incredible talents. In fact, an entire wing of the HayeMuseum in New York City is devoted to examples of Native American beadwork. After you learn how to bead on a loom, considered by many as the place to learn beading, you will be able to adapt your skill to peyote stitch and lazy stitch. In this workshop you will create a simple pattern on a wooden loom, but you will leave having mastered the skill. Looms will be for sale. Registration deadline May 12 as materials need to be prepared ahead of time, but early registration recommended as the number of participants will be limited.
Saturday May 15 Reiki Level 3b 10am to 6pm $200
An advanced Reiki Master class for those who have already done Reiki 3a.
Sunday May 16 Native American Medicine Shields 10am to 5pm $75 includes 68 page manual and personal Medicine Shield Led by Grandfather Rick McBride
Life brings many challenges. Some we meet head on. Some we run from. But when we run, it is almost always reactive fear that is driving us. It is possible, though, to understand fear and to separate it from the event that triggers it, whether present or in some imaginary future. It takes great courage and honesty to admit we carry some degree of fear deep within ourselves. By establishing a working relationship with the Animal Medicine Helper that is best suited to help you deal with fear, and memorializing it through creating your Medicine Shield, it is possible to not only control one’s fear, but to develop courage, compassion, and wisdom from it.
In the Medicine Shields workshop, you will understand animals as Medicine Helpers, you will determine the true nature of your fear, you will learn how to separate the fear from the event, which will allow you to move forward.
In the Medicine Shields workshop, you will understand animals as Medicine Helpers, you will determine the true nature of your fear, you will learn how to separate the fear from the event, which will allow you to move forward.
It is the conversion of fear to inner peace and the mastery of the impulse to flee that fosters wisdom, for that is when we come to truly understand our own power. We must master our emotions if we expect to master life. Fear is an emotion that can be put to good use; it can be used to develop compassion and wisdom; it can be mastered through awareness and commitment. Uncertainty results from a lack of confidence; it manifests when we buy into what is going on “out there” rather than relying on the strengths each of us has inside to create the reality we want, regardless of what is happening around us.
You will put together your own Medicine Shield at the beginning of the workshop. While it sets, we will build into it the knowledge that will help you navigate life with confidence and certainty, no matter your age or experience. You will be taught about your personal Medicine Helper, how to establish that relationship, how to finish your shield to maximize its capacity and your ability to understand and use it.
Sunday May 16 Native American Drumming Circle with Drum Healing 5:30pm to 7:30pm Donations accepted with Grandfather Rick McBride
See description above for drumming.
Thursday May 20 Numerology Workshop 7pm to 9pm $25 with Numerologist Michele Landers
Did you know that your name and birth date holds the key to your happiness? We were all born with a blueprint meant to assist us in navigating through our journey of Life. Numerology is the ancient science of numbers and has been used by the priests and priestesses of Egypt as well as Kabbalists to better understand our spiritual nature and how it manifests on the physical plane. By decoding the numerical vibrations of your a name and birth date you will gain valuable information that accurately describes your talents, personality characteristics, opportunities, challenges, forecasts for the future and most importantly your purpose in this life. In this easy to understand class you will learn:
- Why you are who you are….. as well as those closest to you
- What are your lessons in this life?
- What is your mission or purpose in this lifetime?
- What is your soul’s longing?
- What energies are operating for you this year?
This is an experiential class guaranteed to enlighten and entertain!
Michele Landers is a teacher, author and consultant on the subject of Numerology. Recognized as an authority in her field, her book, The Tao of Numbers, is a detailed study of the science of numbers.
Friday May 21 Satori Game Night 7pm to 9pm $20 with Mary Canane, LMHC, Radical Forgiveness Practitioner
Transformation can be fun! It has been said that you don't play this board game, it plays you!! Come and experience the extraordinary power of this fun board game. Satori promotes laughter, enlightenment, insight and personal / spiritual growth, revealing wisdom in wondrous ways. Take a journey from Victimland, where you pick up the beliefs, karma and blocks that have kept you stuck or in pain. Then you gently move into awareness and surrender. You will notice a shift in perception as you open to the truth about who you really are, ending in a place of peace and enlightenment: Satori.
This work is based on the book “Radical Forgiveness, Making Room for a Miracle” by Colin Tipping. Mary was personally trained by Colin in 2000 to coach and lead Radical Forgiveness workshops. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a private psychotherapy practice.
Saturday May 22 Reiki Level 1 10am to 6pm $145
Nowadays there is increasing knowledge of and interest in the healing technique of Reiki; many people become interested as they have the desire to help others but what is often not understood is that Reiki is also a wonderful way to heal ourselves. Reiki is a form of natural healing for body, mind, emotions and spirit. It means "spiritually guided (Rei) life force energy (Ki)." We all have life force energy flowing through us and if it is low we can have health problems. Receiving Reiki is very relaxing and the energy pathways in the body receive energy, guided to go where it can be of most use. During a Reiki treatment your vibratory level is raised: Reiki addresses blocks in the energy flow, healing negative energy and allowing healthy energy to flow freely. Reiki can be received in addition to medical treatment and can be given to anyone, young or old, to children, to your pets, even to your plants. In these difficult times, it is an excellent way to deal with stress!
In this full one day Reiki Level 1 workshop you will learn how Reiki started, how to give a level 1 treatment to yourself and others and you will receive the four attunements of Reiki 1, permanently linking you to the Reiki source. You will learn the hand positions for self-healing and for channeling Reiki to others. You will receive two detailed manuals providing you with a great deal of information about Reiki and how to use it. Each workshop participant will receive and give a Reiki treatment during the course of the day, helping you to build confidence. There will be time for questions so that your understanding of this powerful healing method can be deepened. You will receive Reiki 1 certification, which will allow you to continue your Reiki studies should you wish. To ensure everybody gets individual attention, only 6 people are accepted; so register early if you wish to attend. No previous knowledge is needed. Pearl teaches the Usui approach to Reiki. Each workshop participant also receives a package of vouchers for half price one on one sessions with Pearl and discounts on workshops.
Sunday May 23 Animal Communication Level 1 10am to 4pm $85 pay by 5/14 or $95 after with Jo-ann Escott, National Animal Communicator, Healing Touch for Animals Practitioner
An animal communicator has the ability to help you and your pet understand each other, solve behavior problems and relay messages. This workshop will cover the concept of telepathic communication with animals and how you can access this ability. Through various exercises you will get the feel of a telepathic exchange. We will focus on the foundation and basics of animal communication and how to open your heart and mind to telepathic information, in the form of words, sounds, pictures, emotions or sensations. We will be communicating with our own animals who are still presently with us on the earth plane. As time permits we will discuss various animal healing modalities and options. Animal Communication is used to further our understanding of pets and strengthen human-animal relationships. All people have the ability to communicate with animals; all one needs is to have an open mind, open heart and a true desire to help our animal companions. Please bring photos of your current pets for others in the group to practice with and give you messages.
Registration deadline for this workshop is Friday May 21st but Jo-ann’s workshops always fill quickly so register early to be sure of your place. The Level 2 workshop is on Sunday June 27th.
Jo-ann Escott is a National Animal Communicator, a Healing Touch for Animals Practitioner, a Holistic Pet Care Practitioner, a Reiki Master and an experienced workshop leader. She has a private practice offering one on one consultations in animal communication and healing.
Thursday May 27 Native American Rattle Making starts 7pm $35
With Grandfather Rick McBride
This workshop will run simultaneously with the Dreamcatchers craftshop. Rattles are similar to drums in their use as musical and healing instruments and in that they call the spirits as they raise our energy and quickness of thought. Making a rattle is fun, and using a rattle can be for fun and social, as well as for healing. They can be built as birds, bears, buffaloes, and any number of other shapes. These are often done to honor a Medicine Helper the rattle-maker might have. In this workshop you will build one "hafted" rattle (a rattle with a shaft, or a handle), and you will also be shown how to build a palm rattle. We will also have all the materials you will need, including hafting dowel but bring your own hafting material, such as stick, antler section, bone etc., if you have something you would particularly like to use. You’ll be given some ideas on how to personalize your rattle and if you choose to dedicate your rattle to healing work, you’ll be encouraged to wake it up at the next drumming. We’ll be working with wet rawhide, so to help it dry faster, please bring a hair dryer if you have one.
Thursday May 27 Native American Dreamcatcher craftshop Starts 7pm $35 Led by Grandfather Rick McBride
This workshop will run at the same time as the rattle making but participants need to choose one or the other.
Have you ever wanted to make your very own dreamcatcher? Today you will learn all about dreamcatchers and learn the technique of weaving that web of protection that separates the good dreams from the bad ones. You will learn on a covered fixed steel hoop, but we will use sinew rather than monofilament line so that you will get used to using more natural materials. You will then make a second dreamcatcher on a natural vine hoop. You will decorate your dreamcatcher with beads and/or feathers provided for you. If you like, bring your own beads, stones (small and drilled), and feathers -- whatever you have to decorate your dreamcatcher with. Once you learn the technique you can apply it to many different shapes and objects. Iktome (Spider) brings us creativity and she links the past, present, and future, which gives us a better perspective from which to understand and make sense out of the web of our own life. Children aged 7 or over are welcome with a parent (1 child per parent).
Rick says: “Long ago the ancestors who lived with the Standing People would sometimes wake in the night to hear their children crying. They would sometimes hear their sisters and brothers cry out, too. They came together to see if they could understand why, but they could not. So they asked the Spirits, and the Spirit Helpers told them that the people had not yet learned of dreamtime, so some dreams would feel good to them and others would feel bad. To help them with this the Spirits gave the ancestors the dreamcatcher and told them that when the dreams came, the dreamcatcher would capture all of them. In the morning, the sun would return and it would burn away the bad dreams caught up in the web. But the good dreams would know how to make their way to the hole in the center, and when they did, they would go down into the feathers and be there until they would be called back another night. And this way the children and the adults had a way to be safe at night and to dream the dreams of happiness and goodness.”
Saturday May 29 Native American Drum Making with Grandfather Rick McBride Starts 10am $130 ($70 deposit required by May 22, for the necessary materials)
Long associated with Native America is what has come to be known as the pow-wow drum, a drum usually more than 30 inches across, which can be played by as many as eight or more people, depending on its size. Another type of drum growing in popularity in mainstream circles is the personal hand drum. They show up in drum circles, sweat lodges, and can be used for healing. Ceremonialists will generally prefer to make their own "sacred," which may include a drum, sacred here meaning anything used in ceremony or for healing, such as a drum, a fan, or a canunpa (cha-noo-pah, pipe.) In this workshop you will build a 15 inch octagonal hand drum.
Making your own sacred drum begins with the idea, is made more concrete in acquiring the skills and materials necessary to create it, and finally, in the actual construction of it, which is typically done in a ceremonial setting*; smudging, offering tobacco, and a prayerful attitude. After the drum has fully dried, which takes anywhere from four to seven days, it is then "awakened" in ceremony. The process of creating, then awakening a sacred drum is akin to birthing a child and similar care is given throughout the entire process.
Grandfather Rick has been building hand drums for 10 years and has helped many people to create their own sacred drum, a process he fervently believes in, especially if the reason to build the drum is for use in ceremony. As he teaches how to physically create the drum, he is also teaching about the drum; when to use it, drum etiquette and technique, styles and songs. He also meets the workshop participants again after the drums are ready in order to wake them up. It takes about 5 days for a drum to dry, in which time it cannot be played.
*Drums are built in deference to the Spirits and with their help, but the actual process of building a drum is not ceremony.
Saturday May 29 The Native American Sacred Pipe 3pm to 5pm $20 with Grandfather Rick McBride
The Pipe is a sacred tool that is the cornerstone of Native American ceremony. Given to the People so long ago nobody knows for sure, to be the keeper of a pipe for the people is a sobering responsibility. This talk touches on:
Who can "carry" a Pipe, and what does the term actually refer to
When is a Pipe used and what is a "pipe ceremony”
How did the Pipe come to the People
What is the symbolism of the Pipe, Pipe care, Kinnick-kinnick, tobacco
When is a Pipe used and what is a "pipe ceremony”
How did the Pipe come to the People
What is the symbolism of the Pipe, Pipe care, Kinnick-kinnick, tobacco
By attending this lecture, you will learn to respect the Pipe and how to conduct yourself around the Pipe and Pipe carrier so that you will get the maximum benefit from participating in any Native American ceremony involving the Pipe.

Sunday May 30 Reiki Level 3c 10am to 6pm $200
An advanced Reiki Master class for those who have already done Reiki 3b.
Saturday June 5 Reiki Master Retreat 11am to 1pm $15
This morning is for Reiki Masters or those currently in training who have already taken Reiki 3a. We will do some guided Reiki Master Meditation, do the Reiki Master Moving Meditation together and build a dynamic Group energy! We will review some of the class material, focusing on areas in which you need to gain more confidence. We will then do practical work, giving and receiving Reiki treatments under Pearl’s guidance. This is your chance to receive Reiki from a powerful group, to make new Reiki friends and to ask any questions you have.
Saturday June 5 How to Meditate 3pm to 5:30pm $20
Many of us are aware of the benefits of meditation: how meditation helps with stress, helps us make a deeper connection with Spirit and helps our day to day life flow more smoothly. However often we do not find meditating easy. This afternoon you will first of all learn meditation techniques such as visualizing, focusing on the breath, affirmations and using music and chant to help bring peace to your busy mind. Under Pearl's experienced guidance you will learn that meditation is indeed accessible to everyone.
During the second part of the morning, Pearl will lead the group through a guided meditation so that you can experience the power of meditating in a group. As you get more practiced in meditation, you will learn to make the connection during your meditation with the source of infinite love, wisdom and peace, leading to greater harmony and serenity in your everyday life. All are welcome, including absolute beginners in meditation and those with some experience who wish to learn more. Confidence in meditation is an important asset to all those who work with any of the healing modalities including Reiki.
Sunday June 6 Introducing the Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu: The 8 Finger Poses 10am to 5pm $75 Led by Merry Battles, LMT 6 CEUs for Massage Therapists
Jin Shin Jyutsu is a spiritual and physical study of the body born of innate wisdom. It was an oral tradition lost and rediscovered in the early 1900’s by Master Jiro Murai in Japan. Master Murai cleared himself of a life threatening illness by solely working on his hands for 7 days; he then dedicated his life to this ancient “artless art." Jin Shin Jyutsu was written about in the Kojiki (Record of Ancient Things 712 AD) and was known to exist before the birth of Moses and Buddha. Learning Jin Shin Jyutsu engages one in self study and self help, assisting those of all ages and occupations. Our bodies contain several energy pathways that feed life into our cells. Using our hands as “jumper cables” we can help to alleviate pain, reduce stress, bring relaxation, and restore harmony to our body, mind, emotions and spirit. Most of the "life force" energy in the body goes up the back and down the front. Holding the fingers in the 8 Poses helps to open up the energy pathways so that the body can do its natural work to achieve balance. This will be a great self-healing experience! “Jin” means Man of Knowing and Compassion; “Shin” means Creator; “Jyutsu” means Art. Jin Shin Jyutsu therefore means: Art of the Creator through the Man of Knowing and Compassion.
Holding the 8 finger poses is an opportunity to move stuck "energy" (the life force) in the body. These 8 poses work on the core or cosmic energy, known as the Trinity Flows. Pain or disease is a blockage of energy, "big stucks or little stucks, big labels or little labels." Holding the hands in these positions helps to restore balance."I can honestly say I have worked on myself every day since 1985." (Merry C. Battles)
This class gives 6 CEUs to FL Licensed Massage Therapists: it is an approved class (FL CEU class # 20 - 7102) under the 12 hour "live technique" requirements. This is also an excellent class for Reiki students and Reiki Practitioners, helping facilitate the process of being a clearer channel for the Reiki energy to flow.
Merry has worked in the Healing Arts since 1977, practicing the art of Massage, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Cranio Sacral Therapy, Reiki, and Foot Reflexology.
Special note to all LMTs:
Even if you have taken this same class before with Merry and got 6 CEUS, you can still take it again and get another 6 CEUs.
Tuesday June 8 The Chakras 7pm to 9:30pm $25
Knowledge of the chakras has come down through the ages from the Ancient Wisdom spiritual teaching, found in many ancient civilizations, primarily in the East. The original names for the chakras come from the Sanskrit language, dating back to ancient times in India. A chakra is a vortex of energy, a swirling, moving center of energy within the human body. We have seven major chakra centers and many minor ones. The chakras are connection points between our outer physical body and the other inner aspects of ourselves; if we experience negative thoughts or feelings over a long period of time, the energy in the corresponding chakra can slow down or become stagnant, causing imbalance which can be detrimental to health. During this workshop we will also learn how the chakra centers project energy outwards, sense energy and also receive energy.
This workshop focuses on healing body, thoughts, emotions and spirit through understanding and healing the seven major chakra energy centers. You will be working with the power of Light and the healing energy. You will learn about the chakras and then do practical exercises to feel chakra energy. You will learn a practical self-healing exercise, which you will be able to continue to do by yourself at home, to direct healing energy to each of your own seven major chakra centers. You will learn that working in this way to heal the chakras helps not only the physical body, but also helps heal negative thoughts and feelings, including sadness, fear and anger. The information taught in this workshop is of benefit to everyone who is interested in helping themselves and no previous knowledge is required. Reiki students at all levels will find this workshop particularly helpful and all Reiki Master students and those about to start Reiki Master training are particularly encouraged to attend.

Reiki:
Reiki is a powerful method to reduce to reduce stress and promote healing on all levels: body, mind, emotions and spirit. Reiki means “spiritually guided (Rei) life force energy (Ki)”. Everyone has life force energy flowing through them; if it is low, then you can be vulnerable to health problems. Receiving Reiki is profoundly relaxing: the body’s energy pathways receive energy which is divinely guided to go where it is needed and your vibratory level is raised. Reiki addresses blocks in the energy flow, bringing healing to negative energy and allowing healthy energy to flow freely. Reiki can be received in addition to medical treatment; it is gentle but powerful and does not involve massage; you lie fully clothed on a massage table. A one hour Reiki session normally costs $50; for month of May: $30.
Aura Clearing and Reiki Intensive:
The Aura Clearing and Reiki intensive one on one session starts with a powerful Aura Clearing
treatment followed by a regular Reiki session. Aura clearing is amazingly effective in releasing “stuck” negative emotional energy which can be lodged in the aura and lead to health problems. A one and a half hour Aura Clearing and Reiki intensive normally costs $80; for month of May: $50. Follow up one hour sessions normally cost $55; for month of May: $35.
Meditation:
Many of us are aware of how meditation helps with stress, can help us to find that place of stillness deep within and can bring us inner peace. However many people do not find meditating easy. During your session you will learn breathing, visualization and other meditation techniques and discover which techniques work best for you. Under Pearl’s experienced guidance you will learn that meditation is indeed accessible to everyone and you will be given guidance to help you get into a meditation routine at home. Pearl will then lead you through a guided meditation. As you get more practiced in meditation, you will learn to make the connection with the source of infinite love, wisdom and peace. A one hour Meditation session costs $50; for month of May: $30.
