This is a very empowering, experiential workshop designed to open your heart.  Each person will get an individual heart awakening which will help them to open up to more love and compassion.  This process encourages everyone to be authentic, free, and liberated.  As each individual is awakened, the whole group participates which results in an incredible bond. 
 
Sharon Rose Morris has a degree in Speech Communication, traveled internationally for the airlines for ten years, and then was extremely financially successful in network marketing, which did not bring happiness.  She moved to the Oregon coast where her innate shamanic healing gifts emerged.  She has co-facilitated over 40 intensive retreats and hundreds of workshops and has worked out of the Crystal Wizard Metaphysical shop..

Our world is a rich and responsive tapestry of sound vibrations and frequencies. Song and chant are the oldest form of praying, no matter what our faith or spiritual discipline.  Come join an inter-spiritual song circle as we ease into releasing our voices and co-create and share simple original prayer songs to all that surrounds and sustains us.  We'll tune in and listen deep inside and then will work solo or in small groups with optional rattles, drums or other forms of accompaniment of your choosing.  Participants must bring own instruments. Together we provide a safe and reverent container for the expression of our unique song prayers.  Everything listens. 
 
"Music is a language of the human spirit," says Sandra Locklear, professional pianist, singer-songwriter and recording artist based out of Seattle, WA.  As a certified music educator, Sandra is dedicated to being a role model for the young and ensuring the continuity of the arts in public education.  As spirit song carrier, Sandra Thundereye is privileged to hear, hold and share women's songs.  In all capacities she takes deep joy in encouraging musical expression and creativity in others.

Women's History you have never been taught  

by Kathleen M. Bishop, Ph.D.                                    

 

starfishWomen's history is not taught in schools or universities, meaning each woman has to learn her history on her own or not at all. This Teleclass will discuss how women's history has been lost, some important facts like the Peking man is actually the Peking woman, and rewrite some of the women back into history that have made a difference in all of our lives. This course, hoped to be the first of many, will focus on how the history was lost, the importance of spirituality and healing for ancient women, as well as accomplishments of women in the arts. Suggestions and exercises will be designed to help participants re-find and re-store this history. The course facilitator will also give suggestions on resources of Women's History and creative ways to learn about women's history.

 

Kathleen M. Bishop, Ph.D. is a Gerontologist with a specialty in aging in people with disabilities, women, and environmental design. She has presented over 15 years on-line  and over 30 years of traditional classroom teaching. Her passion is women's history, she presents frequently on topics related to women's history. She is also a published author of 'Whistling up the Wind" and is currently writing a book 'Reclaiming women's lives through diaries and letters.'

Women, Spirituality and Transformative Leadership

Women, Spirituality, and Transformative Leadershop book cover

The world is in crisis and it seems that many are looking to women to heal the planet and our human family. Before women can step into our full potential as leaders and guides in this moment, we must individually reconnect with our deepest wisdom and with our spiritual roots; collectively heal the many dimensions of separation that keep us fragmented and ineffective as agents of social change; and globally reclaim our rightful place as spiritual leaders in service of a balanced and compassionate new paradigm. This empowering resource engages women in an interactive exploration of the challenges and opportunities on the frontier of women's spiritual leadership. Through the voices of North American women representing a matrix of diversity-ethnically, spiritually, religiously, generationally and geographically-this book will inspire women to new expressions of their own personal leadership and invite them into powerful collaborative action. Topics include:

  •  How do our spiritual values inform us about living with the challenges and blessings of diversity?
  •  How do we stand for the greatness of each other?
  •  How do we catalyze our collective transformational power as women of spirit and faith?

Sacred Alchemy

~

Throughout the pages of Embracing your Authentic Self you'll discover raw, revealingEmbracing Your Authentic Self book cover stories of empowerment and new beginnings from 26 extraordinary women, proving that each and every one of us - including YOU - has the power within and the potential to live authentically and joyfully.

Women from every walk of life, who have removed their false masks, stepped past the labels that once defined them, and reconnected with their personal power.  Today, they're standing tall, embracing their authenticity and stepping boldly onto the path of self-actualization.

And you can too!

Three thought provoking questions and journaling prompt pages follow each story, helping the reader draw parallels between the lessons in the narrative and her own experience encouraging her to go deeper into her own innate wisdom.   Embracing Your Authentic Self goes so much deeper than the passive reading experience of most team-authored books and brings you deep into th realms of self-discovery.
