September Classes and Events at Earth Lodge

The Crystalline Club
1st Monday of each month, 6 - 8 PM
(9/13, 10/4)
Each month’s Crystalline Club brings a new experience and shifts your reality to a different level. We have a guided meditation to show you how to “speak” with your stone’s inner spirit, you will receive a new mineral to work with and enjoy, and we’ll talk about our experiences with the previous month’s stone, what happened over the month and discuss how it worked with us. Stones will tend to be the more rare and unusual gemstones, crystals and minerals that most people haven’t heard of or worked with. Some stones that we have worked with include Eudialyte, Epidote, Fire Agate, Larimar and Alexandrite. Pre-registration is required so that we can have a stone available for you. Club fee: $25 (includes stone)
Please note: if you would like to work with the stones but can not attend our meetings, just let us know and we will have the stone and that month’s handouts available for you for $15. Or wait a month, and work with the stone as a crystal essence, available for sale on our website www.earthlodgeherbals.com.


Shamanic Journey Circle
This circle meets on the second Thursday of each month from 6-8 PM
(9/9, 10/14) and is led by shamanic energy healer and author Maya Cointreau. Commune with your guardian spirits and power animals,  journey to power places of wisdom and healing, and experience new levels of Spirit. Shamanic journeys are meditative visualizations, or miniature vision quests, that allow you to access divine wisdom through your subconscious mind. At each open circle we drum, journey twice, and share our experiences. Bring a drum or rattle, pen and paper, something to lie on and an eye mask. Beginners welcome. $15


Reiki Share
9/10, 9/24, 9/25, 10/8, 10/22, 10/30
This community-inspired Reiki Share meets every other Friday from 11am-1pm, and on the last Saturday of each month from 11am-1pm. It is open to all Reiki practitioners, whether you are a Master or just beginning. Everyone who comes gives and receives, building their Reiki as well as new friendships. The share often begins with 2-4 people working on a person on the table for at least 10 minutes, then sharing views of what they felt. Then we move on to the next person, until all at each table have experienced the healing for 10 minutes. We find the sharing of perceptions provides useful learning and affirmation on our intuitive physical and ethereal scanning. $10 Donation for use of the space, which is regularly cleared, empowered and blessed by the healers at Earth Lodge.

Drum Circle (FREE)
9/23, 10/22
Drum Circle is back! Sandra’s dogs had 14 puppies this summer (see them at www.sandracointreau.com), and all are healthy and well, making her ready and looking forward to leading drum circle once again. Come join us for some Native American-style drumming next month — drumming is free for all ages! Upcoming drum circles for 2010 will be held on or near the full moon at 7pm.

Drum Circle (FREE)
3rd Wednesday of each month, 6 PM
(5/19, 6/16)
Bring a drum or a set of rattles if you have one. All Ages. Heartbeat native american style drumming.

Dream Circle (FREE)
4th Monday of each month, 6 PM
(5/24, 6/28)
Each participant will bring one dream to share and discuss. It can be an old dream, if current dreaming is minimum. In time, dreaming will increase, as one looks forward to the monthly circle and becomes more involved with their dream circle. Experience with dream circles shows that dreaming becomes richer, more intuitive, more prophetic, and provides more messages from Source, one’s higher self, and the subconscious. Each participant assesses their own dream’s meanings, with suggestive ideas from the Circle. Sandra Cointreau leads the circle.

Cinema Spirit Night : The Celestine Prophecy
7 PM screening, with optional discussion to follow
(5/28)
Cinema Spirit Night lets us share movies with soul with like-minded peers in a cozy home setting. Come relax, eat popcorn and enjoy refreshing herbal teas while you sit back and enjoy spiritual cinema. After the movie stay a while and discuss the message of the movie, or feel free to quietly go home and ponder on your own or with family. Space is limited, so please do call or email and let us know if you plan to come. And feel free to bring any additional snacks you might like :)
About the movie: Disillusioned and temporarily rudderless, John Woodson is about to experience a dramatic and profound metamorphosis. Through a mysterious set of coincidences, he finds himself on an adventure to Peru in search of ancient scrolls, known as the Celestine Prophecy. The prophecy and its nine key insights, predict a new awakening that redefines human life and provides a glimpse into a completely spiritual culture on earth. Resistant at first, skeptical and unsure, John finds that each step he takes, each person he encounters leads him to a new awakening. It is only in this letting go that he finds his destiny and comes to understand the meaning that had escaped him when his adventure began.
Screening Fee: $5

New this month from the herbalists at Earth Lodge:

Sage Smudge Sticks, $12.00

7-8 inches long and bound with rainbow-hued cotton string, these smudge sticks are made from the healing and protective Sage on the Earth Lodge properties. Sage is protective and dispels negative energy, which helps bless and clear the home. Smudging is easy: hold the stick by the "stick" end, light the rounded leafy end on fire, blow out, and let the smoking embers clear your home and mind, carrying your prayers on the wind. Always let your smudge stick burn on or in a firesafe container or pot. To extinguish, tamp out on a firesafe surface or dip quickly into water. Do not soak. Please note: Although smudging is a safe practice indoors, it is not for recommended in barns or hay-storage areas.
