"Uniting the Divine Feminine and Masculine"
Courtni "StarHeart" Hale
Friday 09:00 to 10:30 am

In order to Unite and Balance the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine, we must first distinguish between them in their primordial forms, and ignite their channels in our etheric body. I would like to offer several different esoteric traditions' views on Masculine and Feminine energies, how to balance and unite them to provide a third unique aspect available to us in these times more readily, Divine Spiritual Consciousness, sometimes referred to as ambrosia, or nectar of the Gods. Using physical motions similar to Chi Gong, as well as visualizations based on the esoteric information shared, we will send attendees home with the knowledge and practice needed to shift their personal energies into the Golden Age. Includes breathing, movement, meditation and crystal healing (Two Bears)

My name is Karma Jampa Llhamo ("The Act of Unconditional Love" in Tibetan) and I have more than twenty years experience studying esoteric traditions in Judeo-Christian, Native American, Yogic, Chinese and Tibetan lineages. At the core I have found a great deal of similarities and would like to share the teachings around polarity balancing in Male and Female Divine Energies. I have practiced little-known techniques, which I believe are meant to ignite special glands that bring the human being into their higher spiritual consciousness and capacities, sometimes referred to as Siddhis. In our times, many more people will have access to these spiritual abilities due to the changing energies in our galaxy. The techniques are simple and not in the least harmful. Additionally I hope that Mike Two Bears will share his crystal healing technology to clear our energetic channels before preparing to ignite the Ida and Pingala (Yin and Yang) channels, creating the alchemical gold, the ambrosia-like substance released when the two energetic columns are balanced and united and the central brain connectors are ignited.

"Spirit Dance"
Courtni "StarHeart" Hale
Thursday 02:00 to 3:30 pm

Friday night we would like to dance together under the stars and welcome in Ghost Dance, well known as it was brought into use by Wowoka, and continued through several traditions including Lakota. This Dance allows us to each work through our ancestral DNA's miasms, or glitches, by sitting with the spirits from our historical lineage. When we truly feel compassion for their suffering, and we commit to dance for humanity, we are freed from the cycle of suffering which we are meant to release in our times. This fits perfectly into the prophecies about the return of the children of light, and the turning of the ancient calendars into the Golden Age.

I am a traditionally trained medicine person. My path has included the Spirit Dance (Ghost Dance) and I have been given the instructions from my intercessor (Bill Running Wolf Louse) to carry on and share this sacred ceremony. I facilitate a circle called Urban Shaman, where we hold several kinds of ceremony, including Kiva Lodge, sweats, and a Women's Holding Ceremony. This Dance will be held in collaboration with Enrique from Abilene, and will be the precursor to a later group Spirit Dance in September. 

"Take a ride with the Tao Girl"
Devorah Stewart 
Friday 09:00 to 10:30 am

Kundalini Risings, Unitive Experience, Spirit Possession, and Prophecy. How Electro-magnetic activity and Environmental toxins can effect our relation with Great Creator. Learn the secrets of the devi and how to navigate the coming times by creating frequency and vibration of your own.

I come from a line of healers, my father taught me the ways of true supernatural aspects of Christianity. In my 20's I read the Tao-te-Ching and liked the way of simple observation. After ten years in the military as a mental health counselor, I spent ten years ranching on remote ranches which sowed the seeds for what was to come. In 1991 I was called to a mesa and given a vision. In 1998 I had a kundalini rising, visions and encounters with ancient elders. For many years I've pondered and learned. At GOC the past two years I have been recognized as a devi, which was the sign I was looking for to truly reclaim my birth name: Devorah

"Reiki Healing"
Donna Pounds
Thursday 3:30 to 05:00 pm

What is Reiki? When asked that question, I am flooded with intense emotion and passion. Simply put, it is Reiki is a spiritual healing practice that promotes overall balance. It can be so many things - revealing, re-living, journeying, healing, releasing, re-remembering - etc., etc. It is best experienced and then defined by you and your experience

I "accidentally" practiced energy healing for some 20+ years without knowing there was a name for it! Once I experienced the power of Reiki for the first time in 2008, I couldn't get enough of it! I made the decision to become a Reiki Master, and I can't tell you how rewarding it has been. So come on by and experience it for yourself!

"Discovering And Taking Your Power"
Brett "Windrunner" Messer
Thursday 03:30 to 05:00 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!
