Friday September 17  -  Sunday Septermber 19,  2010
Arrive:  5:00 PM Friday    ◆    Depart:  3:00 PM Sunday 

Join us for a weekend of spiritual, emotional, and physical healing practices that are designed to open up your higher energy centers and flow more light into the body. Teachings and healing practices are designed to rejuvenate the body-mind continuum as we work and play together as one.

Healers Helping Healers Transform

Within the crystalline grid known only through one's imagined heart space, there exists the knowing that all is well. This knowing comes to us as a feeling or sensing of our soul in a human body. With patience and care, you can tap into and embrace that timeless aspect of yourself through high-frequency transmissions and the practice of holding oneself and others in high states of appreciation. Once you have received the gift of your very own self, the rest is simple but not necessarily easy!

By co-creating the vibrational environment that allows you to let go and fall into the flow of the Divine is key to finding this alignment within you. Once you do, you will find that the choices that present themselves to you are met with a different set of answers. Given a difference choice, you will begin to create a more joyful flow in your life.

Foundational practices include:
  • The Power of Intention
  • Energy Medicine
  • The Music of Transformation
  • Sound Healing
  • Sacred Movement
  • High-heart activation techniques

During our time together, we will set our intention

for the allowing of all that is to be made manifest in our lives

in the awareness of love, harmony and the power of creation.
Will you come play?



Purpose

To shift your awareness of who you are so completely that you become that.

The Light Being that you are is aware of an inner flow, a fluidity of movement that knows now boundaries. The mind calculates. The heart expands. Yet the two together, working together as one, create a flow that moves like water. Water is the most powerful force on the planet.While fluid in its movement, it also follows the path of least resistance. Yet, over time, it force can cut through rock and forge great river valleys.

Through music and word we will open a portal of light which allows you to travel between the dimensions and connect fully to your highest expression.
The play between the music and spoken word acts as a beacon to call angelic and devic beings as well as master teachers and guides to help on individual and group levels.
The portal expands and becomes a column of light reaching out to the earth grid and beyond, channelling light and love throughout the dimensions. Participants experience not only their own healing, clearing and transformation, but also contribute to the upliftment of the earth in its evolutionary process.

What You will learn:

 During our time together, we will weave a vibrational dance that will dramatically shift your reality and awaken you to your soul's purpose. This deep-immersion experience will provide you with proven practical tools to:
  • unify the field of light that separates the soul from the body;
  • gain access to the innate wisdom that guides you;
  • know what's real and what is illusion;
  • harness the power, the force of light. that guides everyone, everything, everywhere;
  • allow this force to flow freely through your life, and to manifest as you so desire;
  • become one with this force for the transformational practices of grace in action;
  • and to teach this flow to others by living it, being it, creating within it!

We are here to understand and to use the power of heart to cut through any earthbound obstacle, to forge new awareness of Light and create entirely new ways of being simply by being what we desire.
