When we become present, all stories go back into our past timeline. We become closer to being whole and complete. Through awareness of our

bodies, mind and energy field we can find present time, feel safe and become open for love. Let's relax the nervous system, soften the eyes, bring in our aura/energy, release the need to be any part of our past and love life.  I have been teaching energy for over 30 years. 20+ healing modalities. 2 powerful near-death experiences. 

Most of us have been taught in school that the heart is constantly responding to "orders" sent by the brain in the form of neural signals. However, it is not as commonly known that the heart actually sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart! Moreover, these heart signals have a significant effect on brain function—influencing emotional processing as well as higher cognitive faculties such as attention, perception, memory, and problem-solving. In other words, not only does the heart respond to the brain, but the brain continuously responds to the heart.

Goddesses LOVE to grow and expand their views. 

There is so much beauty all around us and this beauty can be captured at any moment and give us a direct connection to ourselves. This presentation will center around using Mindful Photography to capture the beauty around you and connecting to your inner guidance and goddess. We will be exploring mindfulness techniques we can use when capturing that moment of your day, whether out in nature or taking a photo walking around town. As we go through the presentation, we will talk about how this type of photography connects us deeper to our guidance and intuition and how to create that for the participants. This is a session geared for anyone with a camera, whether a cell phone or a stand alone camera, from beginner to expert.

Falcon River is an ordained priestess who had helped create and support women's ritual circles since 1976, teaching practical energetic and magical skills for daily life. Falcon grew up in the Appalachian Mountains of southern West Virginia, climbing the trees and crawling into every cave she could find.  As a child, she was trained in traditional folk magic and medicine by her family elders. In her early 30’s. Falcon studied and apprenticed intensively with Dawna Markova, PhD, author of The Open Mind, a body of work dealing with perceptual learning modalities. Falcon also studied for several years with Linda Tellington-Jones and Robin Hood, learning the Tellington Touch/TEAM Techniques for working with horses and other companion animals in their healing and training. For more than 30 years, Falcon was as a professional bodyworker, healer, and clairvoyant working with animals and people. Falcon co-founded Temple of Diana with Ruth Barrett, a federally recognized women’s temple. She has been studying the lore of trees for over fifty years and has been working with the Norse runes for over forty years, bringing a female-centered perspective to these studies.

The Wheel of the Year refers to the Solstices, Equinoxes, and cross-quarter days that traditionally mark the seasonal holy days. This 2-part class series delves into the interconnectedness between the earth and agricultural cycle, the mythic cycle of the goddesses, and the overlay of the female life cycle. Students will learn how the holy days mark the agricultural calendar, and how a female-centered spiritual tradition creates deep meaning and celebration for women today.

I will speak on the topic of worthiness, and how to transmute the negative emotions around feeling unworthy/ not good enough through alchemical processes 

This is a unique twist on the topic because I will explain human processes of emotion and how it plays into the art of manifestation. 

Through a series of exercises, I will guide the group in exploring the fuel to their emotions that are hidden behind a veil, interfering with their ability to manifest pure desires, not the shadow of it. 

Come, give voice to the dreams of your soul as heavenly bodies move across the sky and magic is in the air!

For those wishing to use moon energy for practical magic. Whatever your spiritual path, the moon offers you a “personalized” monthly opportunity to work with nature and the cosmos to connect to The Divine. This workshop offers valuable information, both ancient and modern, specifically addressing woman's magical nature and a meditation to assist in consciously using the times of the moon and earth to attract and magnetize things you would like to create, develop, and make manifest in your life. Handout is included. Optional: bring your astrological birth chart or you can print a free copy at astro.com/free/free_chart_e.htm click on “Chart drawing, Ascendant”

We all have guides and can connect to them in a variety of ways. These guides can be there as we try and make decisions in life, but with the hustle and bustle of the world sometimes they are difficult to hear and connect with. In this hands on presentation, I will share tools and techniques that support tapping into your personal guides and intuition. We will use the tools to practice these techniques and then dive into how this connects to becoming the goddess every individual has within and to help you make the decisions that align with your path, your purpose.

Every individual may connect in a different way, so there will be different options to try throughout the workshop. As a nature based insight coach, I will be supporting you through the workshop with practices that range from oracle cards to mindful outdoor experiences. You will also leave with an understanding and process that will help you to continue to deepen your connection where no tools will be required and you can tap in at any time and also help others in connecting to their guides.

Has the Law of Attraction proved to be ineffectual in your life? Are you one of many people who has experienced mixed results? Have you tried a ton of spiritual techniques and energy healing modalities but are still stuck in one or more parts of your life? Miracles are a natural occurrence. They are meant to happen all the time. Ancestral karma, traumas, and past life issues create blocks to miracles. Through compassion, we can clear these blocks. Our lives can shine. This workshop will allow you to start ending separation. Separation from love, from money, from your divine plan, from The Goddess. The time has come for all humans to open the door to miracles.
