ARCHETYPES: SACRED CONTRACTS AND THEMES IN OUR LIVES
WITH DIANE HORNE
Based on the work of Dr. Caroline Myss, sacred contracts are agreements we make with ourselves and others before entering the earth plane. Archetypes are universal themes of human behavior that offer glimpses into what motivates our choices- a code through which we relate to the goals (contracts) our soul chose. Understanding these goals and archetypes helps us see ourselves more clearly, that we might fully embrace the gift that is our life.
In this two session workshop, through the sacred sight of our intuition, we will choose the 12 archetypes that are most powerful in our lives and how they arrange themselves in the major arenas of our lives, as described by the 12 houses of the zodiac. We’ll explore how these 12 archetypes influence so many of the choices in our lives and the sacred contracts they serve.

She is committed to providing an environment where people can discover deeper meaning to their life path.
RETURN TO THE ELEMENTS: BEING NURTURED IN NATURE
(A weekend outdoor experience)
WITH JEREMY YOUST AND JIM MORNINGSTAR
Native American wisdom tells us that the further we are removed from nature, the more we walk with fear. We will return to our elements camping as a group for two nights with experienced guidance. Air, earth, water and fire purification ceremonies will assist us to blend the joy of being in nature with spiritual growth. The high energy of coming home to experiencing the safety of Mother Earth and the freedom of Father Sky is indescribable.
No outdoor expertise is required.
We will expand our senses and take in nurturance with ease and pleasure - a vacation for the body and spirit.
Jeremy Youst, is a seminar leader, breathwork trainer and director of the Power of Breath Institute in New Hampshire, avid outdoors man, student of Native American tradition and musician.
