Shamanic weekend at Nature's Song Retreat Center

I will be teaching an intro to shamanism workshop on Saturday, March 26 ,2011 as part of a 2 day event with Mary Boardman at Nature's Song. Dear friends,
It is the beginning of a new year and I am excited by all the activity here at Nature's Song. You will soon be receiving some information about the newly formed Sacred Sounds Mystery School, bringing like-minded and like-hearted people together to explore the many modalities of using sound for personal and planetary transformation.
The first workshop is an Introduction to Shamanism. I am including the information here in the e-mail and also as an attachment. Please send it to everyone on your own e-mail lists that you think may be interested. As Obama and many others have reminded us, now is the time, and we are the ones we have waited for.
Please spread the word about this program to as many people as possible. Feel free to make flyers and post them in your offices. Let's get the work of awakening everyone to the next level!
In the words of Spirit - "Espavo!" which means, "thank you for taking your power."
Love and blessings,
Mary
 
An Introduction to the Shamanic Journey
for Personal Healing and Inspiration
 
This is a two-day workshop that explores Shamanism as a personal spiritual practice. Saturday will be with Shaman Pat Floyd using ancient techniques. Sunday will be with Dr. Mary Boardman using a modern audio technology program developed by a shaman in collaboration with The Robert Monroe Institute, the premier sound institute in the country. Each day is unique and can be taken separately, but coming to both days will broaden both your experience and knowledge of shamanism. Come for one or both programs. Both new and experienced shamanic practitioners are welcome!
 
Saturday, March 26, with Pat Floyd      Sunday, March 27, with Mary Boardman
Cost: Just $95/day.
Please bring: a brown-bag lunch, bandana, journal, drum, or rattle if you have one,
and winter attire for outside time. Drinks and snacks are provided.
 
Saturday with Pat Floyd: The focus of this workshop will be exploring the ancient yet timely practice of the shamanic journey for direct revelation with Spirit, for personal healing, knowledge, and guidance. We will come together in sacred circle, spending the day learning the technique of the classic shamanic journey, drumming, being outside
connecting with the natural world, learning about our power animals, and whatever else may spontaneously be gifted from the Spirits.

Sunday with Dr. Mary Boardman:  We will be using The Shaman’s Heart Program: The Path of Authentic Power, Purpose and Presence, a revolutionary, verbally guided program with Hemi-sync technology for soul-based and heart centered living created in collaboration with shaman Dr. Byron Metcalf and The Robert Monroe Institute. This is a comprehensive program to help you fully develop your authentic power, purpose and presence by exploring and developing the heart from a shamanic and transpersonal perspective.
 
The Shaman’s Heart Program contains verbal guidance, Dr. Metcalf’s award winning music, subtle sound effects and specially blended Hemi-sync frequencies to guide you into focused, whole-brain states of consciousness. Hemi-sync helps you achieve and sustain synchronized brain-wave activity in both hemispheres of your brain – an optimum condition for improving human performance.
