He is responsible for getting all the workshops together and scheduling them. It is a tough job. He also prints up the workshop info to have available at the GOC. Mike Two Bears lives near Taos, NM in the El Salto area of Arroyo Seco. "El Salto" ("jump off") is a Spanish colloquialism for "waterfall" and there are seven waterfalls there that are sacred to the people at Taos Pueblo. Many people are familiar with Taos Mountain, which is sacred to the Pueblo, but El Salto Peak is the masculine balance of the feminine Taos Mountain. Mike is qualified to be Workshop Coordinator because he has been practicing his "I don't know" for some years now.

We will explore
the potential of healing and forgiveness in the non-ordinary realms of
creation, including the cosmic realms. Techniques for maintaining health
through journey. From a long line of teachers and healers, my own work began in 1998 with a spontaneous shamanic awakening. Since then I have studied on my own and with teachers including Sandra Ingerman and Hank Wesselman.

We will discuss and experience what is a "New Beginning" and what comes before "New Beginnings". Topics will include: What is a New Beginning? What comes before New Beginnings? Can you "prepare" for what is truly unknown and might be a new paradigm? What is "2012" and could it be a New Beginning? Could it be a "Breakdown" or a "Breakthrough"? Mike Two Bears lives near
Taos, NM in the El Salto area of Arroyo Seco. "El Salto" ("jump
off") is a Spanish colloquialism for "waterfall" and there are
seven waterfalls there that are sacred to the people at Taos Pueblo. Many people
are familiar with Taos Mountain, which is sacred to the Pueblo, but El Salto
Peak is the masculine balance of the feminine Taos Mountain. |

June Baldwin has become chef extraordinaire!! Cliff's World Famous Pancake Breakfast has now been served to hundreds of people who have all exclaimed: "These are the best pancakes I ever tasted!!" June has served these pancakes to the Price-Daniel prison in Snyder Texas. That is a very rewarding experience especially when you hear the comment: "I have not tasted bacon in seven years". June plans to serve ham at the GOC this year. Any cooks out there, bring your chefs' hat and any food you would like to donate. Please bring your plate, coffee cup, and appetite!

Latin dance steps done to my moose head drum. We'll learn the steps. Put them into a dance and then partner up if we so desire. The intent is to dance to the beat of our own hearts with no expectations and no judgements. May our hearts beat as one as we step into new beginnings. Having taught dance for 28 years, practicing yoga for 34 years and healing arts for the past 6 years, I finally found away to integrate these practices into a soulful dance with the saucy energy of Salsa.

The GOC labyrinth is an archetypal pattern that has defined sacred space for over 4000 years – integral to many cultures including Native American, Greek, Celtic, and Mayan. Labyrinth geometry is a metaphor for life’s journey. The path takes you to center, but along the way it’s hard to judge your progress and how much further you must go. Labyrinths are also a meditation tool. Walking the labyrinth requires attention to where your feet fall, creating a meditative state that enhances concentration on prayers or concerns held in your heart.
The GOC labyrinth is self-guided. You’ll find the flag waving in a meadow at the end of the primary road through the campsites [the road lined with port-a-potties]. This site was selected to offer a quiet experience with few distractions. When you visit the GOC labyrinth, please run your fingers through the vessel of stones. In doing so you blend your energy with that of those who have walked before you and leave your energy for those who will follow. If you’d like, take a stone with you to remember your walk.
