Entering Nature's Dream
Outdoor Workshop with Horses, Dreams, and Plant Spirit Medicine
September 11-12, 2021
Saturday 4-6:30pm & Sunday 10am-5pm MT
Fall is the time when the natural world prepares for the cold dark gestation of winter. Trees shed their leaves, days get shorter and the cool winds start to blow. It is the time for letting go and beginning to turn inside. As things die off, the emotion of grief is present.
Come join us for an evening and a day in Nature with Dreams and Horses and Plants as our guides. Through the power of our dream journeying, the grounding and uplifted energy of horses and the healing powers of plants, we will spend time in community to receive guidance, deepen our presence and wisdom and heal from the challenges our life has offered us.
Marta, Jackie and Karla have many decades of combined experience and wisdom to share with you.
$130 before August 26 ($150 starting August 27)

Shamanic Journey and Yoga Practice for Ancestral Healing
Saturday, November 11, 2017, 4-7pm
Join us during this mystical season as we explore the unknown when the veils between the worlds are the thinnest.
Saturday, November 11, 2017
We inherit the stories of our ancestors,
whether we are aware of it or not. This can cause
dis-ease and painful patterns in our lives on all levels -
physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
In this workshop, we will:
~ journey with shamanic drumming to unlock subconscious connections to
our ancestors, guides, and protectors.
~ free the unhealthy, compensatory patterns from our bodies through yoga practice.
~ release generational suffering for ourselves and our families.
~ center in our present strength and inherent health.
Michelle and Marta offer this opportunity for generational healing through intention-setting, guided imagery and journeying, yoga asana and pranayama, and sharing in a supportive circle. Bring a journal and favorite writing instruments. Drawing supplies will be provided.
