Clan Mother Gatherings
with Debbie Pribele
Friday, April 16: Looks Far Woman, 1:30 - 3:00 pm
Join me in celebrating the balance between night and day and the masculine and female energies within each of us. The intention of the Gathering is to strengthen the feminine and male aspects of our Selves, (for both men and women), realigning the balance in our own personal lives as well as our world as a whole, using our united Spirit to make a difference. The Gatherings take place at the time of the new moons throughout the year. According to Native Tradition, the moons are the 13 Original Clan Mothers, (as described in Jamie Sam's book of the same name), who represent the 13 aspects of the feminine spirit. Each Gathering focuses on one of the 13 aspects of the feminine and empowers the group, individually and as a whole, to contribute to the healing process that is already in motion in mankind. Regardless of your Spiritual and religious beliefs, you will find the Gatherings and the information about the feminine energy empowering and inspirational!

with Glenys Causton, RSW
Saturday, May 1, 12:30pm - 2:30pm
In the state of absolute presence can we experience samadhi, the Self-realization. In samadhi there is a merging of subject and object. Discover bliss of just "being", of being fully present with your breath, mind, body and spirit. Being fully connected to the now in every moment and find the bliss within.There will be discussion on Upanishads and other ancient texts which describe samadhi. There will be a guided exercise through art to express what samadhi means to you.
