  "Practical Prophecy"
Mike Two Bears Andrews
Thursday 03:30 to 5:00 pm

2012 might be called "The Year of Prophecy" because of the Mayn calendar, Hopi prophecies, and many other prophecies that seem to point at these times as a period of transition, and, possibly, transcendence. The prophecies are directed to most, or all of humanity. This workshop will enable participants to experience various personal forms of prophecy or seeing/ seership. Participants will discuss and have an opportunity to practice some of the more familiar forms of seeing, such as Tarot, the I Ching, and pendulums, but also crystal ball gazing/ scrying and Vision Questing. The objective will be to tap into the supersensory powers of your subconscious. I see that you will enjoy this workshop (or you will not).

Two Bears has been using various tools to see. He knows very little, but is willing to talk about what he does not know.

"Shamanic Journey Drumming"
Cliff "WinterFox" Buchanan
Thursday 02:00 to 03:30 pm

Cliff will lead a "Shamanic Journey" to the "lower world" to find your "power animal". Your power animal is a "helper" to help you understand yourself through understanding the various traits and characteristics of your power animal. Cliff will use the powerful sound of the drum as a vehicle for your travels. Discussion will follow. 

Cliff is a computer consultant in Odessa, Texas and has led many Shamanic Journeys, sweat lodges, and gatherings. Cliff has been a volunteer for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) for the past six years. He devotes two days per month along with Shawna Mitchell bringing ceremony and study classes to Native American offenders. Cliff is particularly excited to be teaching the White Bison "Wellbriety program to 75 inmates.

"Discovering And Taking Your Power"
Brett "Windrunner" Messer
Thursday 3:30 pm

Do you know who you really are, and why you are here? Well most of humanity doesn't know what or who they are, or what they are doing here. My mentors told me long ago to take my power, but none have been very clear what that means or how to do this. I now have some of the clues. Come and share what you know of this, and let us discover Who WE Really Are!

Brett Messer is a founding member and Pipe Carrier for The Rainbow Bridge Clan. Brett has co-led many spiritual gatherings since 1990.

"Music for Life and Living- a discussion"
Sarah Starkey
Thursday 2:00 pm

We will be discussing and experimenting with how the music and sounds we listen to can affect how we feel and think, and how the intention behind someone making music can affect the listener.  Please bring drums, rattles, and music making devices if you have them, and if not, then come anyways.

This is the same workshop I gave last year and I am repeating it due to the many requests to give it this year. I will say though that as I have grown in the last year, so has what I can share in the workshop.

I have been making music in some form or fashion for longer than I can remember. In December of 2013 I will graduate with a bachelor's degree in music education and shortly thereafter plan to get on the road and travel, as spirit moves me, as a Positive Thought singer/songwriter. I know music is an amazing force of nature and I love sharing that awareness.

"Way of the Heart Meditation"
John Land PhD
Friday 9:00 am

I was gifted with this meditation many years ago while working with a group in Laguna Beach California. Its ultimate focus is on experiencing your Original Medicine given to you at the point of your conception and is your unique medicine to share with the world.

My paternal grandmother claimed the Muscogee-Creek heritage and told me many stories. This was in the 1940's when it was often against the law to talk or practice our spirituality. Academically trained by cross-cultural anthropologist Angeles Arrien, I have integrated what has been given to me my many other teachers. 

 "Medicine Wheel 12 Step Program to Wellbriety"
Shawna Hayhurst
Friday 9:00 am

This will be an overview of the White Bison Wellbriety Program in which the AA 12 Steps are incorporated into the Medicine Wheel. This Red Road to Wellbriety Program speaks more culturally and spiritually to the hearts of those who follow Native American or Earth Based Spirituality.

Shawna Hayhurst has owned Cassy's Healing Centre and Gift shop in Abilene, TX since 1993. Besides practicing and teaching Shaman's Touch and other various workshops, she is ordained through Golden Eagle ministries and currently works for TDCJ facilitating Native American based Ceremonies & Education.

"Traditional Dream Catchers "
Dorian McLean

Last year at GOC I promised I would have a workshop: How to make traditional  dreamcatchers. I  have prepared 7 willows and I will bring turkey feathers. If you have a special feather, turquoise, or crystal that you'd like to put on your dreamcatcher please bring it .

I am an Accredited Teacher of EMF (ElectroMagnetic Field) Balancing TechniqueTM and have presented information about EMF to international audiences. I teach people for their personal growth or professional advancement. I found this technique following my inner guidance and am ever grateful to my teacher, and originator of EMF, Peggy Phoenix Dubro.
