Rhythms of the Earth - African Drumming Classes

2012-01-17T10:40:00.000-08:00

Rhythms of the Earth
a drumming journey around the Wheel of the Year with Tammi Hessen

Come explore the ancient rhythms within yourself! Rhythms of the Earth will combine the story of the djembe drum, the basics of how to play the djembe and dunun drums (a type of drum from West Africa), and how to put the techniques together to learn ancient traditional rhythms and songs. All this within the theme of the Wheel of the Year! Each month we will explore rhythms and lore that express the changes in the natural world around us.

Just like other instruments, these drums have notes that are combined to play music. We will work on the sounds of the notes and will play music that you can play alone or with other drummers. Whether you are a beginner drummer or an experienced one, join us to discover or improve your own sound on the drum, and to create music in community with others.

Classes are for all ages of drummers and all skill levels.

When: Usually the second Saturday afternoon of each month

Time: 2pm – 3:30pm

Cost: $15 per class, $75 in advance for a six-class card. $2 per class for drum rental

Where: Radiance, 9 W Grant St, Lancaster (across from Central Market)

How to Register: Contact Radiance 717-290-1517, or stop in.

March 24

April 14

          June 9

If you don't have a djembe, dunun (barrel-shaped stick drum), or ashiko drum, you can rent a djembe for $2 (technique instruction is focused on these drums, but you may also bring frame drums to play during the rhythms). Please request rental drums ahead of time for each class.

The Flame in Every Hand: Writing as a Contemplative Act

2012-01-13T11:37:00.000-08:00

with Poet / Songwriter / Storyteller John Terlazzo

From where does Inspiration arise? A conscious moving inward, consciously breathing in spires, in spiritus - beyond all dogma & concepts. There is a way to approach creative writing as a meditation, as a vehicle by which we begin to get flashes of what it means to be walking in this skin, in this world, in the spires of this moment. Inspiration will not show her face coyly, nonchalantly. We must actively seek her out.

"John Terlazzo is a Natural Teacher, using his interior work to bring the spirit, fine knowledge & encouragement to all who attend his retreats".
- Gioia Timpanelli, World-renown Storyteller, Novelist & Long-time Colleague of Robert Bly & the late Joseph Campbell

We’ll do contemplative writing experiments together, working with symbols, images & archetypes deep within ourselves & deep within folktales & stories from all over the world. And we'll sing, rant, meditate, chant, work with sound & silence, talk, laugh & step easily off the edge into what we do not know. There will be ample opportunity for folks to read their work aloud (or simply listen as they like), whisper, wonder & wail. The program is OPEN TO BOTH EXPERIENCED & FIRST-TIME WRITERS ALIKE & is uniquely designed to accommodate both in an atmosphere that is simultaneously safe & welcoming on one hand, & energetically stimulating & challenging on the other.

This class will meet once each week from April 30 through June 18, mostly on Monday evenings, from 6-8pm. Dates are 4/30, 5/9, 5/14, 5/21, 5/28, 6/5, 6/14, 6/18
All classes will be held at Radiance, 9 W Grant St., Lancaster, PA. To register, stop in or phone 717-290-1517.
Cost is on a sliding scale from $135 to $85. Our hope is that those who can pay at the higher end of the scale will do so, thereby enabling others to be able to take the class.

About the facilitator: John Terlazzo is a poet, painter, singer/songwriter & storyteller who performs & records with his band, Voices in the Hall. John has led The Flame In Every Hand (originally titled, The Secret Tells Its Self) for over 20 years with people of all ages & in all walks of life - the general public, with psycho-therapists & others in the helping professions, with school kids & home-schooled kids of varying ages, with adjudicated youth & with those suffering from mental illnesses, in hospitals & wellness centers & (for 5 years) at the Women's Resource Center at The Greater Baltimore Medical Center.

Lunar Calendar Cards Are Here!

2012-01-12T11:19:00.000-08:00

My favorite lunar calendars are here! I've been carrying one of these with me for many years, tucked into my journal. Long ago, I started using it to track my menstrual cycle, and have found so many more uses for it. Lots of local gardeners and farmers use them, to plan for planting, harvesting and weeding according to the moon. It's a quick reference for whenever you need to know what the moon is doing in her journey through the sky. And, at only $2.50, it's a bargain! Stop into the shop, or order it on our web site...

Call or stop in to register, 717-290-1517.

Making a Sacred Bowl
Saturday, March 10, 2012, 2-6pm
In some traditions, the bowl represents the moon when she is halfway through her cycle. In the sky the moon looks like bowl is pouring out the nectar of the cosmos down in the earth.... The symbol of the bowl and its use as a sacred tool is two-fold. It is the functional bowl that nourishes our bodies and it is the vessel to transform the emotions. The bowl takes its place on the wheel of life in the west and is aligned with the element of water. In this class participants will create a sacred wooden bowl and learn ways to use it as part of their spiritual practice. Adhi will lead a journey to so that each participant can connect with a guide to help with this process.
Cost: $65.00 includes materials.
What to bring: Notebook, something to lay on for the journey, a small bottle of water from a special
place, Willow leaves or bark, Jasmine flowers and Osha root for offerings.

Creating a Sacred Knife

Sunday, March 11, 2012, noon-4pm
In many traditions the sacred knife is associated with symbols of creativity, discernment, ideas, clarity and used as the tool for cutting away the illusions that keep us from attaining these qualities. In this workshop participants will create a scared knife out of either stone or steel and learn some of the uses for this sacred tool.
Cost: $65.00 includes materials. If you prefer a steel blade, there is an additional $15 charge & we need to know a week or more in advance.
What to bring:
Notebook, Something to lay on for two short journeys, Balm of Gilead for offering.

Wand-Making Workshop

Saturday, March 17, 2012, 2-6pm
In the western spiritual tradition the wand is the physical and symbolic representation of the human will. It is the tool of manifestation. The element most associated with it is "fire" and its center in the body is the solar plexus. In this workshop participants will learn how to make a wand out of wood and various other materials. You will also learn about different woods, metals and symbols that you can incorporate into your wand to make it an effective tool for manifesting, healing, and transforming all manner of things. With all magical and spiritual tools, you will also learn traditional and contemporary ways to use and work with your wand.
Cost: $65.00 includes materials.
What to bring:
Notebook, something to lay on for two short journeys, 1/2 yard of silk(any color) to wrap your finished wand in, and copal for offering.

You may sign up for all three classes at the reduced rate of $180.00. All herbs needed for offerings are available in the shop at Radiance.

Practitioner Training for Sacred Childbirth with Reiki

2011-12-30T15:38:00.000-08:00

Radiance is thrilled to be hosting Cori Nielsen for a Practitioner Training weekend at the end of March. The training is open to Reiki Practitioners of Level II or higher.
7 pm Friday - 3 pm Sunday Mar. 30 - April 1, 2011
Tuition $425 ($100 deposit reserves your space). You can stop into Radiance, or call for an application form. Registrations are being taken directly by Cori Nielsen.

Practitioner Training

This profound training is life-transforming. We gather in a circle to first evening to pass the talking stick as we introduce ourselves, to state our intent, and to hold profoundly sacred, safe Reiki space for each other as we share our stories of birth, miscarriage, adoption, infertility, and the myriad of other ways that we have been wounded in our sexuality. This intimate, nurturing space is held throughout the next two days as students experience the Sacred Childbirth with Reiki process. They are taught how to use this process to assist their partner in releasing their bodies’ negative feelings and memories about birth. They learn how to guide their class partner to re-experience and clear all negativity from their own birth. This clearing creates a clean palate or blank slate for them to create new, positive, vibrantly peaceful pathways for the birthing energy to flow as they practice how to birth their “dream” baby.
Each student experiences the process two to three times both as the receiver and the giver. Not only does this create in the practitioner a clear palate to be able to hold a neutral space for their clients, it also allows them to encode at a cellular level a peaceful, sacred, joyous way to birth their dreams.
Life-transforming, empowering Reiki sessions, an instructional manual, specific tools to work with clients, discussion, sharing, integration time, and deep heart connections in a calm, peaceful, sacred space make this week-end an invaluable experience.

Embark upon this week-end of sacred ceremony to:

Experience this process yourself to release any negativity you hold around birth.
Access the ancient painless birthing wisdom locked in your DNA and joyously birth your "dream" baby.
Learn the tools to empower couples to create a tranquil, drug-free birth, without pain on their own.
Receive certification as a Sacred Childbirth with Reiki™ practitioner.

Pre-requisite: Reiki Level II or above

Psyche's Journey: Ritual Priestessing Skills Workshop

2011-12-20T12:26:00.000-08:00

With Sylvan Redbird (and guest facilitators TBA)

Sunday, Jan. 22 and Sunday, Feb. 5, 2012
12:00-4:30pm at Radiance
9 W Grant St., Lancaster PA

We will be exploring the myth of Psyche, focusing on the challenges of her initiatory journey, developing trance techniques and diverse ritual structures to experience this story as we reclaim our own divine selves.

This workshop is an opportunity to build on the trance and story techniques taught in a Reclaiming Rites of Passage class, but this is not a prerequisite for participation. Participants should have taken an Elements of Magic or have equivalent experience with basic pagan circle casting/elements understanding. If you are unsure about your experience, call Sarah at Radiance.

Cost is on a sliding scale: $95 to $75

Call Radiance, 717-290-1517, or stop in to register for this workshop.

Please review the myth of Psyche and Cupid (Hamilton’s Mythology or similar collection is fine), as we will not be working with the entire arch of the story. Please attend both sessions, and there will be some personal work between dates.

With his heart and his hands, eyes illuminating with light yet accustomed to the darkness, Sylvan weaves his art-filled life like a Faerie Spider. In the center of his web, a healing spell of Love; his body a bridge between the Human and the Spirit World (especially the Fey and the Ancestors). Sylvan, anchored by his daily recovery practices, now drinks deeply of ecstatic worship and quiet solitude, balancing the mundane and Mystery, embracing embodiment. Originally of the Welsh Tradition, he is a teacher of the Reclaiming Tradition and a Feri initiate.

When we meet again for the second day of the workshop, we will work on the actual assemblage of these parts into a working rattle. During this section of the workshop we will dedicate the rattle for its purpose, fill it, and attach the handle.

Also covered in the workshop will be ways to work with your rattle and techniques for the care of your rattle.

All the materials will be provided except the handle and whatever you will put inside your rattle.

Filthy Farmgirl Soaps

2011-11-10T16:13:00.000-08:00

Several months ago I was gifted with a bar of soap. Well, not just any bar of soap... this exquisite, all-natural (mostly organic) soap is also beautiful. This soap has pieces of herbs, spices & pine needles right in it. And it smells wonderful - all pure essential oils.

And as I learned later, their slogan is "No yucky stuff". I loved it. But, I thought to myself, we already carry some wonderful, all-natural, locally-made soap at Radiance, so this is amazing, but I don't really need any more soap....

And, yet...

The more I used it, the more I loved it, so I decided that we should carry both lines of soap. So anyway, we just got a shipment of Filthy Farmgirl Soaps from Hawaii. These soaps are gorgeous, exquisitely scented, and the labels are even fun to read! So, next time you come into Radiance, be sure to look at them, and read all of the labels - really, they are hysterical! Or, if you aren't local, you can find them on my web site.

Fall Collection from Steel Pony Has Arrived!

2011-11-02T09:01:00.000-07:00

We're always excited when we receive a package from Steel Pony - the shop is filled with Oohs and Ahhs as each piece emerges from the box. You'll be excited, too, when you see the new Autumn items that arrived this week! Look at that swing sweater! That vest! The designs are timeless and funky. This is truly wearable art! Hand-dyed, hand-sewn and local.

Tarot Readings with Beth!

2011-10-20T09:18:00.000-07:00

Using the imagery of the Tarot, Beth helps you explore the issues of your life, looking for syncronicities and seeking clarity for how to make strong choices for your future. Rather than looking at the Tarot as deterministic of a future set in stone, Beth sees the images as pointing to patterns that can be changed and rewoven. Unpacking the meaning of a reading helps you to focus on the potential choices that you can make to change unhelpful patterns of behaving and thinking or to affirm positive patterns.

Beth has been studying and practicing various forms of divination for the past sixteen years, from Tarot to Runes, and African Bones to the I Ching. She enjoys using divination as a tool for personal transformation and spiritual development, and as a way to become attuned to the cycles of the natural world. Along with Sarah, she also teaches occasional courses in the Reclaiming Tradition: The Elements of Magic and Rites of Passage.

The cost for a 45-50-minute reading is $45. Call 717-290-1517 to schedule an appointment.

Thursdays, November 10 & 17, 2011 from 6 to 9pm, at Radiance in Lancaster

The Mesa, a sacred bundle, is the map which represents the Shaman’s Universe. Much like an organic altar, it contains the energies that are used to support the work. What goes in a Mesa is very important and must adhere to specific energetic principles. The Mesa is the mandala of manifestation. Creating one is a powerful way of bringing many energies together to focus on transformation. In this two-part class, participants will learn the process of creating a “Mesa” or sacred bundle to use as part of their Shaman training.

While this workshop is open to anyone with an interest, it is also designed to be part of an ongoing series of classes in shamanism. What participants learn here will develop and grow as they continue to study. All the tools that the Shaman creates move them closer to initiation.

Bring to the first class:

one square yard of wool fabric (it can have a print) in white, blue or green,
sewing needle & scissors,
notebook or journal
A yoga mat and/or blanket to sit on
Your rattle if you have already made one.
White Sage, Tobacco, Copal and Balm of Gilead.

Class will be held at Radiance, 9 W Grant St, Lancaster, PA, across the cobblestones from Central Market. Stop in or phone 717-290-1517 to register. Cost is $85.00 in advance, $95.00 on the day of class. All of the herbs listed are available for purchase at Radiance.

Adhi has been studying shamanism for 20 years. She draws from many different teachers and their wisdom. Adhi is an engaging teacher, accomplished artist, energy worker, Radiesthesiologist (vibrational dowser), and researcher. Her primary area of study is sacred objects, ritual items, magical tools and the temple sciences that guide them. She has spent that last 2 decades understanding deeper patterns and energies that make them work. Adhi's formal training is from the Kansas City Art Institute. Other training is in Bio-geometry, Reiki, Shamanism, Buddhism, and advanced energy sciences. Adhi travels and teaches all over the world.

Radiant Crystal Brew!

2011-09-09T11:48:00.000-07:00

Kara and Nicki recently went shopping for crystals & found some really wonderful, slightly larger tumbles. We've blended some of them on a jar together and developed a new signature crystal mix to represent Radiance. As Nicki says: ... a safe, grounded place where people can open themselves to ancient lessons and higher wisdom, where they are free to talk and ask and learn, and where they can see there is more for all of us.

Radiant Crystal Brew is a healing mix, one that asks us to be honest with ourselves, and to remember the importance of those around us. It keeps us strong in our journey together...

Blue Lace Agate
Pisces
Throat Chakra
A soothing, healing stone, blue lace agate opens us to higher energies while neutralizing anger from suppressed or repressed feelings of inadequacy. When we are free from the fear of judgment and filled with self-acceptance, the door for personal expression is wide open.

Aquamarine
Gemini, Pisces, Aries
Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat
Aquamarine is known as the stone of courage. It's calming, harmonizing effects assist those overwhelmed by responsibility. It clears away extraneous, unneeded thoughts, leaving a clarified perception, which makes it exceptional for meditation. It is a link to a higher knowledge and consciousness, as well as a stone of human service and well-being.

Lapis Lazuli
Sagittarius
Throat, Third Eye
Lapis lazuli connects us to ancient wisdom. The deep peace and personal power shown through this stone allow us to connect to the lessons of those before us and utilize them in the future. We are shown the truth, and we are able to accept it.

Malachite
Capricorn, Scorpio
Throat, Heart, Third Eye
The intensity of malachite is due to it's power to amplify. A strong grounding stone, it brings insight into the light, making it extremely useful for psychic endeavors. Malachite will show worthless patterns and obstacles in the spiritual path and assist in overcoming them. Used carefully with other stones, it can act as a "bullhorn" for the traits they provide, creating a stronger affect.

Tiger Eye
Capricorn
Base, Solar Plexus, Third Eye
A stone of the sun and the earth, tiger eye can be used to draw energy up or down. It is a grounding stone, but it also assists in the rise of Kundalini energy. It displays the correct use of power, and it supports integrity. It allows us to see the whole picture by connecting the physical and spiritual bodies, and it stimulates the actions needed to advance.

Dragon Stone
A recent discovery, dragon stone is a form of red and green jasper. It is useful in connecting the physical and spiritual bodies, and it allows for an internal "reset". It helps break old, unhealthy habits and assists in sticking to new ones. It provides self-confidence and loyalty to humanity, with the strength to make real changes.

A Night of Kirtan with Gurunater Kaur

2011-09-02T08:54:00.000-07:00

Birthstone for July? Ruby...

2011-07-01T06:29:00.000-07:00

Born in July? Ruby is your birthstone. At Radiance we have a lovely collection of rough (uncut & unpolished) rubies. And, we'll be open late this evening for First Friday in downtown Lancaster.

From EarthSky:

The ruby, birthstone for July, is among the most highly prized of gemstones. Large rubies are harder to find than large diamonds, emeralds and sapphires. As a result, rubies’ value increases with size more than any other gemstone.
Along with its close relative, the sapphire, the ruby is a form of the mineral corundum, which is normally drab and grey in color. Red gemstone corundum is called ruby. All other gemstone corundum colors – orange, yellow, brown, green, blue, purple, violet, black, and colorless – are called sapphires.
The Mogok valley of Upper Burma is famous as the source for the finest and rarest rubies of all, know as “pigeon’s blood” for the stones’ intense red color. Another major source of rubies is Thailand, well-known for dark, brownish-red rubies. Both Thailand and Burma regard the ruby as their national stone.
In the Orient, rubies were once believed to contain the spark of life – “a deep drop of the heart’s blood of Mother Earth,” according to ancient Eastern legends.

Gurunater Kaur has deeply healing hands, decades of therapeutic experience, and an acute intuition. She has a profound link to the angelic realms and often receives messages of clarity, guidance and love from individuals' guardian angels and personal spirit guides that can initiate healing of the body, the mind, the heart and the spirit.

She specializes in looking into each chakra of the body, one at a time, accessing information to clear and release such things as self-defeating irrational beliefs, incomplete past experiences and/or energetic blocks.

Opening to the Light of the Heart: a workshop with Gurunater Kaur Khalsa, Saturday, April 2

2011-03-04T12:25:00.000-08:00

“We suffer a great deal in our lives because our kundalini energy is stuck in our lower three chakras most of the time. It is only when the heart chakra is stimulated and becomes active that true love can be experienced. The power to sacrifice, born of universal divine love, comes from the fourth projected center of consciousness. When we truly speak heart to heart with someone, our language is sweet, kind, and uplifting, and the message gets across. When an awakened human being dwells in the fourth chakra, he is accessible, connected, loving, and compassionate.”

Shakti Parwha Kaur
Experience the power of yoga, timeless meditations, and sacred chants to manifest the light of your heart.

Saturday, April 2, 2011, 1:00pm to 5:00pm

A Night of Kirtan with Gurunater Kaur Khalsa, Friday, April 1

2011-03-04T10:21:00.000-08:00

Meditation doesn't come easily for many people. Kirtan - one of the oldest sacred music traditions of the world - offers another method. Kirtan is a call-and-response style of singing sacred chants. Kirtan carries us effortlessly to a place of quiet, to stillness. While it is true that we can sing these chants in the solitude of our own homes, there is nothing like the magic of chanting live with musicians and other participants all adding their energies to the experience.
It’s the heart, not the art. The purpose of Kirtan is to get us out of our heads and into our hearts.

Chants heal. The powerful healing and transformational energies of these ancient chants can help to reconnect us to the Ever-Present and Eternal Being that lies within us all. All the mantras, melodies, and instruments of Kirtan are designed to lead us toward this meditative state.

The beauty of relaxation. Kirtan brings us back to our center. When this happens, beautiful things begin to unfold. Feelings of inspiration, peace, and a sense of connectedness are common experiences.

Come, sing with us. Friday evening, April 1, 2011, 7-8:30pm, at Radiance, 9 W Grant St, Lancaster, PA, across the cobblestones from Central Market.

Bring a blanket and/or yoga mat to sit on, a pillow if it helps you to sit on the floor with more comfort, and dress in layers.

Cost is $15 in advance, $20 that evening. Call Radiance, 717-290-1517, or stop in to register.

Tarot Readings with Beth

2011-03-03T10:45:00.000-08:00

There are only two dates left this winter to schedule a tarot reading with Beth... hurry!

Using the imagery of the Tarot, Beth helps you explore the issues of your life, looking for synchronicities and seeking clarity for how to make strong choices for your future. Rather than looking at the Tarot as deterministic of a future set in stone, Beth sees the images as pointing to patterns that can be changed and rewoven. Unpacking the meaning of a reading helps you to focus on the potential choices that you can make to change unhelpful patterns of behaving and thinking or to affirm positive patterns.

Beth has been studying and practicing various forms of divination for the past fifteen years, from Tarot to Runes, and African Bones to the I Ching. She enjoys using divination as a tool for personal transformation and spiritual development, and as a way to become attuned to the cycles of the natural world. Along with Sarah, she teaches occasional courses in the Reclaiming Tradition: The Elements of Magic and Rites of Passage.

The cost for a 50-minute reading is $45. Call 717-290-1517 to schedule an appointment.

Readings will be held at Radiance through the winter on the following Saturdays:
January 8 and 29, 2011

February 19, 2011

March 5 and 19, 2011

Come explore the ancient rhythms within yourself! Lunar Rhythm for Your Soul will combine the story of the djembe drum, the basics of how to play the djembe and dunun drums (a type of drum from West Africa), and how to put the techniques together to learn ancient traditional rhythms and songs. All this within the theme of the Lunar Year in the traditions native to this area! Each month we will explore rhythms and lore that express the particular moon time.

Just like other instruments, these drums have notes that are combined to play music. We will work on the sounds of the notes and will play music that you can play alone or with other drummers.

Classes are for all ages of drummers and all skill levels.

The Perfect Rice Cooker

2011-01-11T12:56:00.000-08:00

We have a new favorite kitchen tool! I (Sarah) ordered one to test before we decided whether to offer them in the shop, and really love it. So, now they are available in the shop or through the web site.

It's a Japanese-style ceramic rice steamer. The rice and water go in the ceramic pot, and then the pot is placed in a larger pot - I use a small canning pot. The rice is cooked by the steam that builds up inside the outer pot. It can't burn, or stick to the pot. And it's always perfectly cooked. Leftover rice is reheated in the same way. I just put the ceramic pot in the refrigerator with the leftover rice in it. The rice stays moist!

I've been reheating brown rice in the mornings & adding dried fruit & nuts for a warm grain breakfast. Perfect.

$34 well-spent!

Tarot Readings with Beth

2010-11-10T12:30:00.000-08:00

Using the imagery of the Tarot, Beth helps you explore the issues of your life, looking for synchronicities and seeking clarity for how to make strong choices for your future. Rather than looking at the Tarot as deterministic of a future set in stone, Beth sees the images as pointing to patterns that can be changed and rewoven. Unpacking the meaning of a reading helps you to focus on the potential choices that you can make to change unhelpful patterns of behaving and thinking or to affirm positive patterns.

Beth has been studying and practicing various forms of divination for the past fifteen years, from Tarot to Runes, and African Bones to the I Ching. She enjoys using divination as a tool for personal transformation and spiritual development, and as a way to become attuned to the cycles of the natural world. Along with Sarah, she teaches occasional courses in the Reclaiming Tradition: The Elements of Magic and Rites of Passage.

The cost for a 50-minute reading is $45. Call 717-290-1517 to schedule an appointment.

Readings will be held at Radiance through the winter on the following Saturdays:

Shamanism and Dowsing

2010-10-12T10:53:00.000-07:00

Saturday, November 13, 2010, 2-6 pm

Shamans call upon unseen forces in the Universe to assist them in the work that they do to help people, communities and the world around them. Shamans employ many techniques, sometimes using the rattle and other "Divining" techniques to find answers to questions, scan the body, understand the energy of a place. Some Shamans' use the rattle, throw the bones and read the energy with their hands and other tools. Shamans successfully diagnose and correct all manner of energy imbalances with these techniques and they stand the test of time in their simplicity and usefulness. They can enhance any healing modality and deepen its effectiveness.

In this one-day class we will explore the ancient technique of dowsing for finding information. Bring a rattle if you have one.

Class will be held at Radiance, 9 W Grant St, Lancaster, PA, across the cobblestones from Central Market. Stop in or phone 717-290-1517 to register. Cost is $45.00 in advance.

Adhi Moonien Two Owls is a member of the Board of Trustees of the American Society of Dowsers (ASD) She teaches basic and advanced dowsing techniques/courses all over the world. Adhi is an accomplished artist, energy worker, Radiesthesiologist (vibrational dowser), and researcher. Her primary area of study is sacred objects, ritual items, magical tools and the temple sciences that guide them. She has spent that last 2 decades understanding deeper patterns and energies that make them work.

Dowsing 101 with Adhi Moonien Two Owls

2010-09-15T13:22:00.001-07:00

Saturday, November 6, 2010, 2-6pm

Dowsing has been employed effectively for thousands of years and is found all over the world. Dowsing is performed using a variety of tools, including the pendulum, "L" rods, "Y" rod, bobber, and other techniques, either to acquire answers to questions or to understand different energies.

In this one-day class you will learn many ways to use dowsing to connect to your higher self in order to find all manner of things. Dowsing is the ancient art of "Divining", or asking for help from the unseen, to find water, minerals, lost items etc. This is a hands-on class so come prepared to explore, practice and learn. Bring two wire coat hangers, and a pendulum if you have one.

The Dance of Fertility

2010-08-31T12:51:00.000-07:00

The Dance of Fertility:
Reconnecting With Our Cycles

Like the earth itself, a woman's body passes through cycles of fertility and infertility. Sometimes our bodies are moist, cool and fertile and sometimes our bodies are dry, hot and infertile. Each month, our bodies give us signals to let us know where we are in the cycle. We can keep track of the signals and use the knowledge to prevent or achieve pregnancy or gauge overall health.

Join us for this 3-part class as we learn to listen to our bodies using the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM). We will explore what happens during a menstrual cycle, learn to chart our own cycle, and use those charts to achieve or prevent pregnancy and to gauge overall health. We will discuss herbs and other natural remedies to support our reproductive health.

Classes will be held Thursdays, October 7, 14 & 21, 6:30 -8:30pm at Radiance, 9 W Grant St, Lancaster, PA. Call 717-290-1517 or stop in to register in advance. Cost for the class is on a sliding scale: $80 to $60.

Natasha Herr is co-owner of Homegrown Edible Landscaping Co. She studies with certified fertility educator Katie Singer, author of Garden of Fertility and has used FAM successfully for the last 3 years to prevent pregnancy. She is in love with the magic of fertility and is passionate about teaching others to reconnect with their bodies.
Sarah Preston Campbell is a community herbalist, owner of Herbs From the Labyrinth, LLC and co-owner of Radiance in downtown Lancaster. She is passionate about women’s health, and sees myriad reflections between the health of our own bodies and the health of the Earth body.

Please note: FAM is not the Rhythm method. The rhythm method relies on estimating fertile time based on the assumption that most women ovulate around 14 days before their period. While this may be true for some women, stress, diet and other factors can delay ovulation in any given month, rendering the rhythm method inaccurate. In contrast, FAM relies on the daily observance of fertility signals in order to pinpoint exactly where a woman is in her cycle. There is no guesswork involved- only the facts!

The first day of the workshop will cover instruction on the parts of the rattle, the materials used to create the bulb, sewing and creating of your rawhide form. We will take several shamanic journeys to find guidance about our personal rattles. This first portion of the rattle needs to dry so. During that time you will find your handle and materials to put in it.

When we meet again for the second day of the workshop, we will work on the actual assemblage of these parts into a working rattle. During this section of the workshop we will dedicate the rattle for its purpose, fill it, and attach the handle.

Also covered in the workshop will be ways to work with your rattle and techniques for the care of your rattle.

All the materials will be provided except the handle and whatever you will put inside your rattle. You may want to bring a journal to class.

Build Your Own Rocket Stove!

2010-06-10T07:39:00.000-07:00

While traditional stoves and fires rely on coal, wood or gas for fuel, the rocket stove can cook a whole dinner using just twigs and grasses. Constructed from recycled materials, the rocket stove is an affordable and sustainable cook-stove design that is so simple anyone can learn to build it. Makes a great camp or outdoor kitchen stove.

Join us July 11th from 1 to 4pm for a rocket stove-building workshop. We will also discuss the importance of appropriate technology in today's world. And you will leave with your own finished stove!
