Creating a Sacred Pouch
with Adhi Moonien Two Owls
Saturday, January 22, 2011, 2-6pm, at Radiance in Lancaster
Many traditions use the practice of carrying a small pouch or bag with special objects in it for protecting or guiding the practitioner. In this workshop you will create a pouch made of elk leather and other materials for your personal "medicine" or specific empowering objects. There will be a few designs to choose from. Participants will take two short journeys to find guides to help with this process.
A sacred pouch is a womb; a place to keep things safe, nurture an intention into being, carry the herbs, stones or other things you need to keep close to you.
Cost: $45.00 plus a material fee of $15.00, in advance.
Bring to class: Your journal and a yoga mat and/or blanket to sit on, Willow leaves or bark for offering.
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.

Tarot Readings with Beth
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:
December 14, 2010

Shamanism and Dowsing
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.

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.

The Dance of Fertility
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!

Building a Shaman's Mesa with Adhi Moonien Two Owls
Sundays, September 12 & 19, 2010 from 2 to 6pm, at Radiance in Lancaster
The Mesa 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. 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.
This workshop is designed to be part of a long ongoing series. 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
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.
Adhi has been studying shamanism for almost 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.

Rattle-making with Adhi Moonien Two Owls
Saturdays, September 11 and 18, 2010 from 2 to 6pm, at Radiance in Lancaster
In this two part workshop participants will learn how to make a rawhide rattle from beginning to end. This workshop is for those who want to develop deeper shamanic skills and knowledge.
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.

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.
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.

Build Your Own Rocket Stove!
The rocket stove was invented for use in developing nations as a highly efficient, low tech alternative to traditional resource guzzling cook-stoves and open flame fires. 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!
Cost: $50-$35 per person, sliding scale. Materials are included.

The workshop provides an access to your natural gifts of intuition, creativity, and healing by focusing on:
· balancing the chakras - the energy centers of consciousness
· opening the heart center - the doorway to increased acceptance of yourself
· expanding intuition and the dynamic flow of the creative nature of a woman

Threads of Connection, Strands of the Web
An Exhibit at Radiance
9 W Grant St., Lancaster, PA
March 15 through May 30, 2010
Artist Reception on Friday, April 2, 5-8pm
Born of the deep desire to celebrate our connection with the natural world, Sylvan Thorncraft looks for the magical spark that resides in all things to inspire her fabric collage work. The spirits of the forest, the divas of the flowers, the dancing clouds slowly emerge from luminous layers of silk and gauze. A large portion of these pieces are created with cast off women's blouses, in the spirit of honoring women's intimate connection with fabric and the making of thread, cloth and clothing through time. Fabric invites us in, it touches our skin, protects us, lives with us. In many cases, Thorncraft's work is as much inspired by finding "the perfect" bit of cloth for a piece as it is by the desire to express a specific vision. Their creation is organic and fluid, arranging a layer then looking for what that layer is calling for next, working to bring the individual parts into relationship, into the community that is the finished piece.
Sylvan Thorncraft lives and works in the eastern Catskill Mountains of New York. Having been engaged with the creative process all of her life, she celebrates how sewing connects her to her female ancestors, both known and unknown. Student of nature and the ancient traditions of the people who knew her so intimately, she hopes to tap into the deep sea of our collective wisdom for the images she creates.

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. 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.

Well, it sounds as though we are definitely going to find ourselves in the midst of a major winter storm tomorrow, Saturday, so we are changing plans.
The Herbal Cordials class will be held on Saturday, March 6 instead. And, if you hadn't signed up yet, you still have time!
Keep your eyes on this space for other changes - we're not sure about the yoga classes yet.

Rhythm for Soul - African Drumming with Tammi Hessen
Come explore the ancient rhythms within yourself! Rhythm for Your Soul will lead you through 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. 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 one Saturday afternoon each month
Time: 2pm – 3:30pm
Cost: $15 per class, plus $2 for drum rental if you need one
Where: Radiance, 9 W Grant St, Lancaster (across from Central Market)
How to Register: Contact Radiance 717-290-1517
Dates: February 13, March 27, April 10, May 15, June 19, 2010
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.
Classes led by Tammi Hessen, a Lancaster-based drummer who has been studying in the West African hand drum tradition of djembe. She has traveled many times to Africa to study drumming there, studies under djembe master Mamady Keita, and Master Drum Maker/Cultural Educator Baile McKnight. She has also studied with Menes Yahuda, Salim Ajanku of Sankofa Dance Theater, Mahiri Keita, Ubaka Hill, and other drumming instructors. Tammi has been working with Ubaka Hill as her teaching assistant at the Michigan Women’s Music Festival, and recently recorded on Ubaka’s 3rd CD, “Beyond the Wind” and played at the CD Release concerts. Tammi began teaching Bumbada! Women Drumming classes in Baltimore Maryland in 2003, and the program continues to grow. She also has a performance group that plays for various events locally. You can contact Tammi directly for more information about the ongoing drumming classes in Baltimore, Lancaster, York, and Harrisburg areas, or for private lessons.

Tarot Readings with Beth at Radiance!
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 us at 717-290-1517 to schedule an appointment.
Currently appointments are available on Saturdays, January 30, February 13 and March 6. Soon Wednesday appointments will be available, as well.

Making a Shaman's Rattle
Saturdays, January 16 & 23, 2010 from 2 to 6pm, at Radiance in Lancaster
In this two part workshop participants will learn how to make a rawhide rattle from beginning to end. This workshop is for those who want to develop deeper shamanic skills and knowledge.
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.
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.
Adhi has been studying the rattle as a tool for transformation for almost 20 years. She draws from many different teachers and their wisdom. 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. 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.
