EARTH RHYTHMS

What do you truly believe about yourself? Who and what is that based on? In this workshop we will explore how to use your earth connections/medicine to aide you to feel more purpose, confidence and peace with who you really are.

Body Sacred - Self Healing

Our bodies are Sacred, as is all life. But how many of us treat our bodies with the love, respect and reverence we deserve? We depend on the government medical system to keep us physically healthy, friends and family to keep us emotionally healthy, and spiritual leaders or advisors to keep us spiritually healthy. But our medical system is overloaded, our doctors have too many patients to get to know their medical needs personally, friends and family are transient, and many of our spiritual leaders and advisors don't have the answers we need to fulfill us spiritually. The system is breaking down. We need to take responsibility for - and control of - our own health - body, mind, emotions, and spirit. We do have the power. The allopathic medical system can only put a bandaid on our dis-eases, we need to prevent them in the first place, and work on healing ourselves, working in companionship with the doctors. This workshop is about different alternative modalities you can use on yourself to keep yourself healthy and happy. It is not meant to replace the medical system but to work hand in hand with it. We will talk about how working with our own energy, Universal energy, colours, crystals, chakras, visualization, plants, sound, meditation, kinesiology, tapping, affirmations, mindfulness and more can help us be the powerful, healthy, happy, women we were born to be.

Solitary Wicca 101

Wicca is one of the fastest growing religions in the world. Unfortunately it is also one of the most misunderstood and maligned. The Wicca or witchcraft you watch on tv, see in Hollywood movies, or you read about from Religious Zealots has no bearing on the true path we follow. We do not worship Satan, or even believe that Satan exists. We do believe there is evil in the world, but we do not give it substance by naming it anything other than evil. Wicca is a “user friendly spirituality. A very peaceful, harmonious and balanced way of life, which promotes oneness with the Divine and all which exists. To be Wiccan is to be a healer, a teacher, a seeker, a giver, and a protector of all things. It is about living your life Spiritually 24/7, not just one day a week. It is about taking responsibility and being accountable for your own actions, your own happiness, your own life. Wicca/Witchcraft has been known as "The Craft of the Wise" because most who follow the path are in tune with the forces of nature; have a knowledge of herbs, oil, crystals, and more; look beyond that which we can only see and touch with our physical senses; understand that mankind is not superior to nature, the earth and its creatures but instead we are simply one of the many parts, both seen and unseen that combine to make the whole. As Chief Seattle said; "We do not own the earth, we are part of it." I will explain and talk about Wiccan beliefs, tools, holidays (holydays) rituals, magick, moon rhythms, redes, casting circles, working with crystals, herbs, and oils, sacred wild crafting, spell work, the triple Goddess, directions, elements, sacred space and altars, and more.
This workshop is not about convincing you to be Wiccan, you have to follow your heart and choose your own path. It is to open your perspective on alternate beliefs.

BELLY DANCE... FINDING THE GODDESS WITHIN

“Located in this dance is a secret language that tells the story of woman’s lives…their passions and their spirituality, their sacrifices, their intuitions, their emotional life drama.” -Delila

Bellydance Basics:

Whatever your age, shape, life stage, background or beliefs, belly dance can be an amazing means of expressing your inner soul. The movements are ancient…reaching back into the mists of antiquity to matriarchal cultures and temple rites…speaking of the secrets of life and procreation, conception and birth. Belly dance is more than just a dance…it is a perfect way for women to connect with each other and with the divine feminine in all of us. It is a celebration of the female spirit in a display of physical strength and beauty. It offers an excellent workout for our bodies as well as for our imagination and creativity.

Learning to Love Yourself

In order to be truly happy one of the most difficult things that you may have to do is to love yourself and to show yourself that love, to put in to practice loving, supportive ways that will help you grow. You need to start to respect yourself. You need to treat yourself with gentleness and kindness. So much time is spent on looking after the needs of others and little or no time is put into even considering your own needs. Taking care of your own needs will require you to spend time on yourself- to consider what you need in order to be well. You need to put your needs on your to-do list. You cannot take care of everyone else without taking the time to take care of yourself. Eventually you’re emotional and maybe even physical self will start to become unhealthy. It is time to stop and ask you- what do I need to feel better? Take time to actually tune in to your inner voice. When someone around you is crying you pay attention- you need pay attention when your soul is crying. Comfort yourself as you would anyone else; do what you can to ease your own burden. Participants will learn to: discover what is holding them back from loving themselves; recognize both negative and positive self talk; develop ways of turning negative to positive; learn tools to increase self esteem and lower stress; relax their minds to be able to hear their inner voice; be able to begin the process of being good caregivers to self; learn tools that will end in being accepting who they are right now.

Finding Your Inner Voice

“It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else’s eyes.”… Sally Field
"Once you accept that you are not perfect, then you can develop some confidence.”… Rosalyn Carter "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in perfect harmony.”…Ghandi “Do what you can with what you have where you are”… Theodore Roosevelt
Participants of this workshop will learn to understand the benefit of finding their inner voice and listening to it. They will learn to relax their minds enough to hear their inner voice, and begin the process of becoming good care givers for themselves, which in turn makes them better caregivers and nurturers for others.

Past Lives and How They Effect us Now!

During this workshop I will cover the various ways that past lives can have a lasting effect upon us within this life. You will come to understand the difference between an echo, soul splitting and even the soul overlays. We will go through a brief meditation with the intention of stepping into the life which is most affecting you at this moment.

Assertiveness Through Inner Strength

Do you have a hard time saying “no” to others, standing up for yourself, sharing your opinion, or saying what you need to say?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, this workshop can help you to discover what holds you back.  We will create a safe environment and walk you through a visualization to scan your body for the sensations that come up and block your assertive self.  We will help you to explore how you would like to feel when you approach difficult situations and offer a positive intentional meditation to help you carry assertive energy into those situations.

Finally, if time, Charlene will demonstrate a simple Druid ritual that is common for British Traditional Druid Practice.


 

Healing through Positive Affirmations

“When I was a child, people used to laugh at me because I was an empathetic soul, a bleeding heart. Now they listen.”

If you only had one chance to look at yourself in the mirror, what would you choose to see? What would you say to yourself? Would it be a negative or a positive statement?

Do you ever start a conversation with a negative statement?

Do you ever think that life has thrown you a curve ball?

Are you quick to anger, and slow to forgive?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then this workshop is for you!

Are you willing to take the opportunity to change the way you see yourself and others?

Are you ready to let go of the past and live for today?

“Healing through Positive Affirmations” is a short introduction to what could be the best time of your life. Turn I can’t into I can. Turn I won’t into I will. If focus determines destiny, are you willing to try something new today? If so, then join Myhrr as she explores the science of positive thinking.
