We all have intuition, we all have psychic ability, and this weekend retreat was designed to help you develop yours while creating your own divination tools, making friends, and rebooting our minds, hearts, and spirits.
Join us OCT 5-7, 2012 at All World Acres in Plant City, FL for a weekend of fun, relaxation, and spiritual exploration!
VENDORS welcome, especially if you sell divination tools, spiritual crafts, and books! Vendors need to pre-register and setup times are sent with confirmation.
If you'd like to lead a workshop, especially on I-Ching, Ogham, scrying, or any thing you love that you don't see listed here, please email me at AuthorAshleyRae@gmail.com!
Check out our schedule of workshops:
Friday
Psychic Protection
The first thing we need when
pushing ourselves outside our comfort zones is to know that we are safe, and how
to keep ourselves safe. In this workshop, we will perform psychic self-defense,
learn about herbs, stones, and other physical protections that we can employ,
and perform a ritual to protect ourselves and our space. Bring a notebook and
any jewelry or stones you'd like to employ to protect you this weekend and
beyond.
Sweat Lodge
The Sweat Lodge is
a place to purify and pray. Modeled after the sacred ceremonies of many Native
American tribes, this sweat lodge will help us purge toxins, fears, and doubts
from our bodies, minds, hearts, and spirits. In the lodge we have the
opportunity to emerge reborn as warriors, scholars, psychics, or whatever our
personal Paths call for.
Divination By Karaoke Party
In my college
years, a group of friends and I met up weekly to play Karaoke Revolution on my
PS2. While using the random function, we discovered that the game tended to
pick songs and lyrics that reflected what the singer had been talking about
before taking a turn! Singing + Divination = Ecstatic Ashley Rae :D
“This ONE time...” (a
discussion of paranormal experiences)
Have you ever dreamt an event and then experienced it? Do you have a
story of an experience with a spirit or ghost? In this workshop we will share
our stories of paranormal experiences of various types - premonition dreams,
encounters with entities, experiences crossing the “veil,” psychic visions,
trances...whatever your story, come & share!
Saturday*
All About Intuition
What is Intuition? How do you
access it? How can you tell whether your gut is trying to tell you something or
it's just indigestion? We'll address all these questions and more, exploring
the different types of Intuition and how they correlate to different types of
intelligence, and perform some fun and basic exercises.
Astrology
Basics
Before we work
with tools, let's see how celestial bodies and abstract concepts interact with
our lives. This workshop is meant to be an introduction to the planets, houses,
and signs of astrology, with an opportunity to create your own natal chart.
Runes & Creating Our Own
Oracles
Bring your runes, witches
runes, or any other non-card divintion tool you have (ogham, stones, loose tea
leaves, a bag of M&M's, etc.) If you don't have any, don't worry about it –
we're going to make our own anyway, while learning how to cast, find symbols,
and interpret them in this very hands-on workshop.
Reading Tarot & Other Cards
Bring any cards you'd like to
read, including playing cards, pokemon cards, recipe cards...whatever floats
your boat. In this
class we're going to focus on using visual aids to
access our intuition and answer questions for ourselves and others. No prior
knowledge of the cards required – just a willingness to let go of your fears and
doubts and have fun with it!
Increase Your Psychic Abilities
with Hypnosis
We are all born with this innate ability to be highly
intuitive, clairvoyant and even communicate with other dimensions. Come join
Michelle Meleo (http://michellemeleoonline.com/ ), to explore the innate powers
of your own mind and your ability to increase psychic awareness with simple
hypnotic techniques that safely activate the pineal gland, also known as the
third eye.
During this
workshop, Michelle provides simplified scientific explanations of the pineal
gland (third eye) function in the human brain and how and why hypnosis can help
to open and activate this gland. The workshop includes a hypnosis session to
connect to your higher self and activate the third eye.
Numerology 111
What do your
digits mean? Join us to learn the basic concepts of numerology, number
symbolism and applications of numerology in daily life.
Mediumship & a Séance
There are few gifts more precious than connecting with
a departed loved one. In this workshop we'll share our stories, discuss the
different times of non-corporeal beings and how they interact with us corporeal
ones, and methods of communication with spirit beings. At the end of our
workshop we will use our spirit boards, cards, pendulums, whatever tools we feel
most comfortable using, to communicate with our departed loved ones, angels,
spirit guides, and any other being of love and light who has a message to pass
on.
* Saturday only day pass available (see below).
Sunday
Dream Interpretation
Let's chat over breakfast (whether you bought the meal plan or
brought your own) about the different types of dreams, the scientific and
spiritual reasons for dreaming, how to interpret our dreams (and how to tell
which dreams need interpretting,) and what we have dreamed this weekend. We'll
also talk about how to develop the skill of lucid dreaming – where you control
your dreams and explore your inner psyche and the spiritual realms while your
body sleeps!
Reading Palms
We're going
to make hand prints and learn some basic and intermediate techniques of
palmistry. Bring your hands...and a notebook and writing implement.
Psychometry
Join
us to practice sensing energy and getting messages from objects and places!
Auras & Chakras
Learn
how to see and sense auras and chakras! We'll learn chakra basics, how to
repair and manipulate our personal energy, and at the end of this final workshop
we'll have a crystal singing bowl healing session/meditation/nap!
