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. 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.

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.

A Woman's Power: Intuition, Creativity & Healing

A Woman’s Power: Intuition, Creativity, & Healing
With Gurunater Kaur Khalsa
Saturday, June 19, 2010 1-5pm

As women, we have natural gift of awareness, intuition, creativity, power and healing. Yet many of us have forgotten our Divine gifts, trapped in the limitations of outdated beliefs, unconscious defenses and imprinted reactions. In this workshop, you will experience ancient yogic practices of mantra (repeated affirmations), asanas (specified bodily movements) and meditation: three powerful tools that in combination open the gateway to reconnect with your Divine essence and feminine power. 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
