The central premise of astrology is that the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets at the moment of birth are related to the intrinsic character and later development of that individual. Because Cosmic Being is microcosmically embodied in human beings, the evolutionary intent of the cosmos is evident in the self-actualizing dynamics of the psyche; thus, not only does the birthchart symbolize character structure, it depicts the trajectory of personal evolutionary unfoldment-what Jung called the path of individuation. In this workshop, we'll examine the charts of workshop participants. By using astrology to become aware of one's own path, participants are empowered to consciously cooperate with the cosmos in a co-creative, evolutionary process.

Chakras are part of the subtle anatomy, a highly refined vibrational interface between Divine energy and the human body. Long known about in Ayuvedic medicine, knowledge of chakras is now entering mainstream medicine. Jonathan & Andi Goldman present a system they developed which utilizes specific vowels sounds in order to resonate the physical body and the chakras, bringing them into balance and alignment. Through working within the parameters of one's own voice, participants will learn to create extremely powerful and transformational healing sounds that can bring balance and harmony into their daily lives, activating their chakras and experiencing higher levels of consciousness.

Planetary configurations symbolize personal myths that determine thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. These myths have their origins in childhood experiences, which serve as prototypes for all later experience. Although the astrological chart symbolizes our personal narrative, the psyche is intrinsically dynamic and constantly evolving within the framework of that narrative. Character is not fixed, but malleable, molded by choices freely made. Fate reflects the unfoldment of character and acts as a spur to its further development. In this workshop, we'll examine the charts of famous individuals--scientists, artists, sports heroes and politicians-who converted the pain of difficult childhoods into transcendent gifts that enabled them to rise to extraordinary heights.

The science of Cymatics offers a window into the hidden workings of nature. As we witness audible sounds exciting sand and water into life-like, flowing forms, we can begin to visualize the mysterious mechanisms animating our world.

Cymatics demonstrates the creative potential of sound, but this process is not restricted to the realm of dense physical matter. Once we understand these causative principles, we can apply them to every aspect of our lives, including the subtle vibrations of perception, feeling, emotion, thought and belief--all of which must be brought into coherency in order to experience "sound health."

Through scientific method, music and poetry, we will heighten our awareness of these diverse elements at play around and within us.

When we release past trauma and the accompanying behavior that it causes, we are allowing ourselves to take a more active role in life. We see things through love rather than from a place of feeling threatened, we become reacquainted with our true self, we open our hearts to others, and we reawaken the innate sense of wonder that we all have. Living in this way allows us to forge a close, loving connection with the present that will allow us to participate fully in life. During the course of this workshop, we will explore how we can release the painful patterns of past trauma so that we can enjoy living intimately in the present moment.

EFT has proven to be an effective self-application to address problems common to many - pain, cravings, depression and anxiety. The time frame of the intervention makes it cost-effective, suitable for on-the-job practice, and provides durable gains. Participants will have the opportunity to both learn and experience this evidence based modality so that they can immediately begin to use it for themself and others. Although based on acupuncture, EFT has simplified the process by gently tapping with your own fingertips on head, torso and hands, so that both emotional anguish and physical symptoms often subside. EFT actually offers freedom from stress at your own fingertips.

From the Big Bang to Harmonic Healing: Awakening the Spirit of Sound
Using up-to-date techniques in imagery, visualization and movement, you will learn to harmonize yourself in quick and efficient ways. We will also explore the components of sound and music that awaken our spiritual states of consciousness.

Learning Objectives:

To articulate how music, movement and imagery can be used to balance brainwaves, release stress and open the mind to spiritual awareness.

To explore the spiritual roles of music through chant, rhythm and deep listening

To show how multiple levels of listening change mental, physical and emotional experiences.

In this workshop, we will learn about the ghost of craving and the feeling of not being fulfilled that it brings us. We will learn to fall away from the constant seeking and open ourselves to the natural patterns of identifying what we really need; allowing ourselves to be sustained by this revelation, and not allowing ourselves to fall prey to old patterns of object identification. Together, we will discover how to open to the abundance that is always available to us.

We will explore various approaches to relaxation training including how to determine effectiveness. We will look at research results and learn some of the best practices. Later we will learn about the brain, central nervous system and how the EEG reflects our state of being. We will study optimum performance, learning and longevity.

There will be demonstrations of relaxation techniques so participants can see the effects in real time. At the end of the day we will have equipment demonstrations, opportunities to practice with biofeedback devices and a chance for questions.

Music is a mystical force that opens the heart, mind and body. In the past decades we have come to understand how to use music more effectively for ourselves, our families and clients. This workshop will honor that mystery with deep listening, movement and imagery and move into the contemporary uses of music.

Whether you are a therapist, a musician, a healthcare practitioner, a parent, an educator or none of the above, learn about the use of music and sound to improve the mind, body and spirit, including:

How the components of music (rhythm, melody, harmony and tempo) evoke responses in the mind and body

The science of listening and its importance in mind and memory

The history of music and sound therapies

Educating our children to lead lives of contribution, happiness and
fulfillment

Traditional forms of education focus on teaching the mind. In this session you will explore how teaching the Heart as well as the mind leads to academic achievement as well as improved Health and well-being...

Do you have the feeling that life is speeding up as you get older? Wouldn't you love to discover how to slow down time and turn back the clock naturally? Now you can.

In a phenomenal debut of his latest book, pioneering anti-aging and longevity doctor, Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D. will reveal the results of his latest scientifically proven research.

You'll discover natural and safe methods to rejuvenate your body, lose weight, return the blush of youth to your skin, renew your mind, and revitalize your soul.

This day will be devoted to exploring all that biofeedback has to offer. From the early days of simple, single channel devices we now have the ability to view brain activity in real time with non-invasive devices. We can see the effects of virtually any activity or behavior. We can monitor how breathing practices affect the heart rhythms, brain functions, blood pressure, anxiety and much, much more. This day will include demonstrations and practice with state of the art equipment.

Participants will gain an understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of Buddhist meditation and the psychology of meditative practice. Attendees will become familiar with the basics of mindfulness meditation and gain tools to use it in their lives.

Dr. Brian Dailey is an emeritus board of director, member of the advisory board and professional division, and their remote healing group (Dolphin Energy Club) of The Monroe Institute (TMI), Faber Virginia. TMI was founded by Robert Monroe, author of Journeys Out of the Body, Far Journeys, and Ultimate Journey. He created The Monroe Institute in order to help himself understand and explain out of body (OOB) experiences he began having in the 1950's. He developed a sound technology called Hemi-Sync to produce binaural beats sounds and induce specific brain wave states. Dr. Dailey will discuss aids in inducing the out of body state, techniques to induce the OOB state, and extensive experience in group OOB travels.

Music is a bridge of transformation from the mundane and personal to the universal connection. By observing and experiencing the differences between horizontal and vertical spirituality, the powers of prayer and meditation can be actualized effectively.

This workshop is an experiential process designed to integrate, focus and deepen your own spiritual practices. We will conclude with vocal and imagery techniques for building your own spiritual temple with music.

Goals: To show how sound and music can assist in spiritual development and practice.

Learning Objectives:
- To demonstrate how states of listening modify spiritual experiences
- To learn what kinds of sound and music bring us to spiritual verticality that heightens and deepens our lives
- To experience what kinds of sounds and chanting bring us into awakened human consciousness

Are you a student with schoolwork and tests getting you down? A single parent raising a family while working full time? Working in a competitive and highly stressful job? Do you sometimes feel “the life force has just been sucked out of you?” Welcome! You are not alone! Dr. Brian Dailey used to work up to 120 hours in a week telling patients to slow down or they would have a heart attack. Then it occurred to him he should practice what he preached. Learn some oh so simple techniques to reduce stress, feel better, improve health, put some spring in your step and fun back into your life! These are easy techniques you can apply immediately. Remember to stop and smell the roses in life!

Dr. Brian Dailey is a third degree Reiki master with extensive healing experience in treating thousands of patients. He has found Reiki and energy therapies helpful in reducing the side effects of chemotherapy; in particular nausea/ vomiting, anemias, neutropenias as well as hair loss. Dr. Dailey will present easy to use healing techniques any one can do. Dr. Dailey and Dr. Harry Oldfield have used Polycontrast Interference Photography (PIP) to image human energy fields and the changes that occur in the human energy field during energy therapies. Some of these images will be presented.

Up to 24 participants for each session will have the opportunity to experience a 15 to 20 minute energy therapy, and then participate in doing these therapies with other participants. Up to six participants will be placed around each massage table supervised by a Reiki master. One participant is on the table for a 15-20 minute energy therapy. The other five participants will learn energy healing techniques under the supervision of the Reiki master at each table. No prior experience in energy healing or Reiki is necessary to participate.

The workshop, designed to teach advanced dream content analysis skills, focuses on instructing and training the attendees how to use the technique of the dream interview. The method consist of four steps and six strategies, and highlights the attitude of the interviewer, dream image, metaphor, change, and dream elements (description and restating of the dream, bridging the dream to waking life, and summarizing the exploration) and strategies (amplifying the feelings, guessing the absurd or the opposite, differences, oscillation of focusing and flexibility, and restatement). This workshop, which builds on the ability to engage in exploration, presupposes previous familiarity with dream content analysis.

Some of the attributes of being awareness, such as living in abundance, experiencing timelessness and spontaneous participation, are experienced in rare moments by almost everyone, but these ways of being usually pass. Most consider them to be anomalies rather than sustainable ways of being. We will explore the ways in which one can live in participatory awareness as a way of life. The emergence into being awareness will be taking place over an extended period of time with various aspects becoming more evident as its evolution progresses. During the course of this workshop, we will lay the groundwork to prepare ourselves for this revolutionary method existence.

We will explore how we can fully open to this shift in consciousness and allow the change in our way of being to occur in order to enhance our relationship with the present moment.

This session will focus on highlighting the leadership lessons from the book, Hearts and Minds: A Public School Miracle and show how leaders can transform lives by engaging the hearts and minds of those with whom they interact.

The new leader is one who encourages a more participatory style of leadership where diversity is honoured and everyone is included and recognized for their contributions and encouraged to take ownership and share leadership in the change process. Learn how this new leadership can shift us to a new awakening and a new level of consciousness.

We will explore how an integration of spiritual practices, psychotherapy, receiving bodywork and using psychedelics in an optimal setting can lead to lasting and profound changes in our personality structure and our sense of well-being. The use of consciousness sacramentals in combination with these other practices can enhance our capacity to shed ongoing suffering and a limited sense of ourselves. When entheogens are used in the context of these other ways of self-discovery, a catalytic or synergistic effect can be created, freeing us from non-functional patterns and leading to greater self revelation.

In this presentation we find the ‘cymatic’ thread that weaves all the wonder of the natural world of balance and resonance. Vibrational shapes detected through current technology correlate the microcosm of the human body—our cells, our DNA, that mirror of the macrocosm of the galaxies.

We explore the geometry of five acoustic frequencies in union with the energy spectrum of color and a dynamic magnetic field that inductively links with the cells’ to regenerate tissue and relieve pain.

Witness the results of technological instruments which generate specific sound frequencies to stimulate muscles, organs and bones to their natural state of resonance. See the phenomenal proof of healing with audible sound frequencies by utilizing diagnostic ultrasound, MRI, thermography & x-rays. Join Mandara as we ride the beam from ancient healing temples to the medicine of the future!

The zodiac not only symbolizes the structure and dynamics of the human psyche, but also models the evolutionary unfoldment of consciousness. In this workshop, we’ll explore how zodiac signs can be understood as basic needs, developmental stages, and distinct time-space perspectives. We will also examine how the zodiac represents a diagnostic model that is compatible with modern classification systems. Zodiacal signs can mutate into specific personality disorders when their attributes hypertrophy to unbalanced extremes. Each sign's unique behavioral attributes derive from its developmental task and its orientation in time and space. The ultimate goal is wholeness—a balanced, harmonious expression of all twelve signs.

Therapeutic Touch is a healing modality creating a world-wide impact by enhancing the quality of nurturing care from birth to death. It stands firmly on 30+ years of clinical practice and research and it's accepted usefulness has created a dialogue between the modern medical establishment and traditional healing practitioners. Developed by a Professor of Nursing at New York University, it has now moved into the community at large. In this workshop you will be introduced to the basic process with time for practice and supervision. Learning Therapeutic Touch often moves people deeper into their own human resources and a realization that the universe is quite personally theirs.

There is much to be done in the area of validating the effects of various meditative, healing and life altering practices. Experience tells us these interventions work but we need more evidence that will satisfy the scientist and the skeptic. Today we will cover the path to certification in biofeedback, the use of biofeedback in clinical practice and also how we can apply biofeedback modalities in the research setting. Finally we will explore options for equipment, both for the clinical setting and for home training.

Ms. Myers’ new book, Why Women Should Rule the World (Harper Collins, 2008), a New York Times bestseller, makes the case that women’s increasingly powerful role in public life is reshaping the world -- and making it better. And it’s not because women are the same as men, she says, but often because of the ways they are different. Blending memoir, social history, and a call to action, Ms. Myers argues that empowering women makes business more productive, politics more representative, and communities healthier and fairer. In a highly competitive and increasingly fractious world, women possess the kind of critical problem-solving skills that are urgently needed to break down barriers, build understanding, and create the best conditions for peace. In other words, it’s not about political correctness; it’s about self-interest.

She also speaks personally and eloquently about the issues facing women in Washington and in leadership positions of all kinds.

Participants will learn skills for working with their dreams by engaging in experiential dreamwork. Participants will learn the Ullman method, which helps people tap into the meaning and potential of their dreams. Attendees will learn how dreams connect us with each other and how they can form dream groups themselves. Safety of the dreamer is a primary foundation of this process and the dreamer remains in control at all times. Individuals should bring a dream to this workshop. Attendees will also become familiar with what is known about dreams and individuals can expect to gain knowledge and understanding.

Archetypal cosmology is the emerging study of correlations between cyclical alignments of the planets and archetypal patterns in human experience. Combining astronomy with modern depth psychology, archetypal cosmology explores how the shifting patterns of world history, culture, art, and politics are reflective of ever changing planetary movements. In this workshop, we will examine the theoretical basis for these correlations and their implications for a wider worldview. Emphasis is placed on how pioneering individuals interact with major planetary alignments and thereby become catalysts for cultural transformation. Workshop participants explore how their own capacity for a participatory relationship with the cosmos can contribute to the creation of a positive, more hopeful future.

This will be an intensely experiential day with the morning devoted to a guided yoga asana session, guided relaxation and meditation using a variety of approaches. The afternoon will include discussions of meditation practices and more exercises in meditation and prayer. Finally we will discuss how meditation, breathing, relaxation and biofeedback can improve couple’s communication and lead to more satisfying interpersonal relationships.

The end of the day will include time for practice of what has been learned and for questions about the topics of the day.
