ReStarted: First Sunday of each Month

at the Bears Den Recovery Center

Love offering of at least $5.00 requested.

I am Charles "WildHorse Charley" Conatser and, after several years of other activities, I have restarted the Shamanic Journey Circle . Aided by traditional drumming, sounds, and movement, we will use Shamanic Journeying to enter non-ordinary reality, to awaken healing, knowledge, power, and creativity and to receive and realize our spiritual purpose/visions/actions.

Bring a blanket/bedroll to lie on/in, journal to record your journeys, blindfold, and (optional) drum, rattle, clicksticks, and/or power objects.

For more information, contact Charles Conatser at 763-DRUM (3786) or CWConatser@aol.com.

Thank you, in advance, for your consideration of:

Request 1: I am sorry if my use of several short email lists has resulted in your getting more than one copy of this announcement. If you did and want to help me remove duplications, please reply to that effect.

 Request 2: If you are NOT interested in notification of any shamanic activities, please reply to that effect and I will drop you from my lists.

Request 3: If you are interested but the first Sunday of each month does not work for you, let me know which one(s) (or Saturdays) could, for future scheduling.

Request 4: If you know of anyone else who might be interested in shamanic activities, please pass this on to them and send me their name and email (or snail mail or phone number) so I can notify them of future events, workshops, and schedules (or give them my information and ask them to contact me directly).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Additional info:

Wherever you are on (or off) your path, shamanic methods can help you decide what next step is best for you, enable you to be your own authority in spiritual matters, recover your connection to the powers of nature, awaken your consciousness to the interdependence of all of life,..., in short, become your own shaman, an artist of the spirit. With drum, rattle, song, and dance, you will be taught shamanic methods to discover your own individual spiritual allies, teachers, and power songs and dances, to obtain hidden personal knowledge, to answer personal questions, to maximize your power to achieve personal goals, and to contribute to the health of yourself, others and the planet. Teachings will include shamanic journeys in lower, middle, and upper worlds for knowledge, work with animal powers, divination, and shamanic methods of healing, including personal empowerment and enhancing creative ability.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shamanic methods can contribute to virtually any aspect of living, as they have for tens of thousands of years, and are especially applicable in contemporary daily life for problem solving, well‑being, and healing.

This may be through the plants, or Spiritual Tools such as the Labyrinth, Medicine Wheel, or Sweat Lodge. To view this Sacred Space on the web go to www.CedarRidgeFarm.net .

Quote from Mary Murphey, Owner of River Song Ranch:
"Dear Cliff, We had a beautiful event last 4th of July. An extended family reunion and had 3 sweatlodges in one day with  people gathering here from different States.  We had 5 tents set up at the Ranch and all 4 rooms were full. i serve organic and vegetarian meals and everyone loved it. Bear Heart said he would like to have this Event every year. we have the sweat loge up and we can set it up anytime for a group of a minimum of 6 people. I have a few friends here in Toas trained by Bear Heart to run the Sweat lodge if he can't make it. We have evening bonfires and sit with Bear Heart on the front porch and visit. Riversong Ranch a magical place."
