"Attunement is a non touch spiritual healing energy process.  Surrounding every living thing there is an energy field.  In the process of attunement, through the techniques involved, a practitioner would seek to allow a balance to occur in the endocrine system, the chakra field and the skeletal structure. The process is always co-creative, knowing that within each individual there is a unique spirit and ones own internal healer.  Therefore, it is a combined energy facilitated by the practitioner.  Assisting others, particularly in healing work, is an inherent gift that I believe we all have.  The process of teaching Attunement is about assisting one another to remember.  No one owns the universal principles of healing.  They are available to any who are on a spiritual path."

9:30 - 4:30.   $90.  Includes Lunch.  This is  taught by Paul Price, one of the founding members of King View, a certified Attunement Practitioner and a member of the Leadership Team of the International Emissaries Attunement Guild.

You will be given an introduction to the basics of chant and shown techniques that will assist you in opening yourself to a more powerful experience.  You will be shown how to navigate your own meditation in the powerful silence created by chant.  This spacious day will offer you time for personal reflection and exploration as well as time for sharing with others in the group.

The Lily Dale Assembly, one hour south of Buffalo,  is the oldest Spiritualist Community in America.  They have daily programs from June-September.  Many mediums are available for readings.  Although they have many programs this summer, as always, there are 2 especially that I am highlighting:
(1)  Barbara Hand Clow's July 1-3 workshop:  She wrote "Alchemy of Nine Dimensions", which Shelley Bourne used as the basis for her January presentation to us.  An excellent and recommended book.
(2)   Michael Bastine's August 30th talk:  I met Michael at a Dowsing Conference last year and he will be coming to talk to us.  Michael was close friends with Mad Bear with was close friends with Rolling Thunder, who was one of Raymon's teachers.   Michael  has many stories to share about his friends and is fascinating in his own right.

We all have the ability to activate nine dimensions of consciousness within ourselves. These dimensions of unconditional love, geometrical and sonic expansion, higher spiritual  intelligence, and elemental power greatly enlarge our enjoyment of life.   Learn the characteristics of these nine dimensions and how to work with their energies in a conscious and grounded way. The highlight of the workshop is the activation: a shamanic ceremony and guided meditation designed to explore the dimensional realms. The experience, which Barbara calls Goddess Alchemy, was only available previously in secret initiate societies ­ and now is made available to all serious spiritual seekers. During the workshop, Gerry Clow leads a team of healers who balance participants as they respond to these new awakenings.  Music specially composed by Michael Stearns accompanies the experiential portion of the workshop.  Participants are encourage to read ³The Pleiadian Agenda² in advance of the workshop.

Barbara Hand Clow, M.Th. is an internationally known spiritual teacher. She is the author of Chiron, The Mind Chronicles trilogy, Liquid Light of Sex, The Pleiadian Agenda, and Catastrophobia.

Like seminal mystical words from other parts of the world - mana, prana, ch’i - the Iroquois term orenda is untranslatable into modern English. We could start by taking it to mean “life force,” or “spirit,” but this could be too simple.   Something is either alive or dead; one can bear varying degrees of orenda.  As possessed by the greatest spirits, orenda could be a mighty, even deifying force. Among humans it was the force of healing - and magic. To the Iroquois this philosophy wasn’t “occult”: it was a part of their religious understanding.   By all accounts this force is connected with landscape. Some say that feng-shui is not just an Asian discipline, and that many Native American societies had something to the same effect. There are sensitives who can feel this  Iroquois force about certain sites, even hear it. There may be a logical way of detecting it.  Michael Bastine takes us on a journey into ancient legend, Native American practice, and contemporary Reservation spirituality.

Originally from Maniwaki, Quebec, Michael Bastine was educated in a small rural public school. Most of his boyhood was spent observing and relating to the natural world as a child. Meeting Mad Bear a great blend of worlds began, and Mike rediscovered his ancestral spirituality. Mike has been involved with traditional people for over twenty years, and their many influences have reinforced the teachings of nature.

Harmonic Overtoning is 'sonic massage' for yourself and others where you learn to sing two pitches simultaneously. It is the western version of throat singing, which originated in central Asia. It may increase breath capacity, expand tonal range, increase concentration levels, deepen brain wave states and provide a more focused awareness of the voice. It is accessible at any level of vocal ability, although some musical background is an asset.

This one-time-only event will be led by overtone specialist, Kiva, who has taught this class at the Worlds of Music School in Toronto. An obsessive dedication has led Kiva to become one of the few people (and even fewer women) in the western world who excel at this fascinating vocal art form, blending overtones into her contemporary original songs.

In 1992 Gary Renard experienced a startling calling: two teachers, or "ascended masters," appeared to him to reveal the miraculous powers of forgiveness. He chose to listen to what they had to say, and the result is a record of 17 conversations that took place over nearly a decade, reorienting the author's life and giving the world an uncompromising introduction to a spiritual teaching. "With disarming humor and down-to-earth candor, Gary and his guides spell out the truths within A Course in Miracles. The Disappearance of the Universe is both a fascinating story of Gary's encounter with two remarkable spirit guides, as well as a teaching manual about the power of forgiveness. An important and highly enjoyable book!"  Gary R. Renard is a professional guitar player who took his life in a different direction after he heard a "calling." Today he is a writer who travels and discusses metaphysical principles with other spiritual seekers.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a man on a mission.  Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks with an intelligence, earnestness and passion rarely seen among celebrity speakers.

The group's achievement helped spawn more than 125 Waterkeeper organizations across the globe, including an Ontario branch. He has worked on environmental issues across the Americas and has assisted several indigenous tribes in Latin America and Canada in successfully negotiating treaties protecting traditional homelands. And it doesn't stop there - he is also credited with leading the fight to protect New York City's water supply.

In this completely unique workshop pre-historian Steve Watts will guide participants through a hands-on journey to rediscover the basis of all human culture-Stone Age Technology. By learning more about our ancestors we learn more about ourselves. Explore the beginnings of humankind's first industry-stone tools. Try your hand at the manufacture of simple stone knives and chopping tools. Witness fire making in the prehistoric style. Relive the world of our earliest ancestors and discover the roots of human culture, language, religion and art. "The learning and practice of stone age skills can help us all get in touch with our own roots, no matter what our particular heritage may be. Here in North America, we look to the First Nations and the ancestors of these people to teach us skills that are ‘native' to this place. Yet, if we go back far enough into our own pasts, we discover that we are all aboriginal peoples at some time in some place. The Stone Age is the great common denominator of humanness. Primitive (‘first") skills are our shared inheritance."
