Labyrinth Walking
Meditations – New Day!

In the midst of confusing times you will discover an oasis of peace
when you walk the Labyrinth. The
Labyrinth has emerged today as a metaphor for the Spiritual Journey. It is a walking meditation, which opens the soul
and quiets the Mind. We welcome the
public the last Friday of every month, between 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm, to walk the
Labyrinth free of charge and discover your peaceful center. We can also make arrangements to open the
Labyrinth for groups of 5 or more.
Our 5-Circuit Labyrinth, sometimes referred to as the Heart of
Chartres, is made of canvas and has a diameter of 12 feet. It features 12 full turns (three in each
quadrant), and 48 lunations. You enter
the center through one of the six petals of the central rosette. Although our
Labyrinth is smaller than the 11-Circuit Chartres Cathedral Labyrinth your
experience can be just as powerful.
The Circle is about encouraging and empowering
women to stand up and recognize themselves as the caretakers and nurtures of
the Earth Mother while gaining respect by demanding it of themselves. The
Circle will meet on a regular basis where participants will experience the
shamans drum and journey meditations. This will help to bring about a new sense
of power and well being.

As of July our Circle moves to the
Third Saturday of every month from 1:00 to 4:00
pm.
The cost is just $40.00.
(Please note: No Circle in June or August)
Please Note: The
Store will open ½ hour before the start of a class held on a Sunday.
First Degree Reiki Training
Rev. Sal Venusto,
B.Msc, and Reiki Master
The goal of First
Degree Reiki is to embody and transfer Reiki energy. This is the first practitioner level. This level will teach you everything you need
to know to give yourself and others reiki treatments.
In this class,
each student’s own natural healing ability is awakened and attuned through
Reiki initiations. This innate ability is reinforced through practicing Reiki
on yourself and others.
First Degree Reiki
begins with a discussion on the history of Reiki, the many uses for Reiki and
the four initiations and respective hand position that are required to complete
a full Reiki session. The students then
practice giving and receiving Reiki using the traditional Dr. Miako Usui
treatment positions. The basic
self-healing hand positions are also taught and practiced.
By the end of the
training, each student receives 4 Reiki initiations, gives and receives at
least one full traditional Reiki treatment, and is certified as a Reiki-First
Degree Practitioner.
Date: Sunday, June 1st from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
Cost: $ 125.00 (Course manual
and Certification included)
Shaman’s Workshop with Medicine Crow
Part 1
The Medicine Wheel:
The circle is the oldest symbol of humanity. The circle provides a deep insight into Self
and helps one to bring balance between body, mind and spirit. The knowledge of the circle allows humans to
understand the Great Mystery. At birth
each person is given at least one of the four Great Powers: Illumination,
Innocence, Introspection and Wisdom. The
purpose of man’s existence is to obtain the remaining gifts and become a whole
person. Medicine Crow teaches the
connections between: the Zodiac, the Native American and Australian Medicine
Wheels, and you as the Shaman of your destiny.
We learn what totems are on our personal Medicine Wheel and conclude
with a Shaman’s Journey to connect with your Spirit Totems.
The workshop is open to men, women, and mature teenagers. Participants will need to bring their birth
chart and a pad and pen to take notes.
