One White Horse Standing Newsletter

MARCH 2013

 

Hi folks,

We made some changes to the calendar.

You will note that the Four Chambered Heart workshop has been moved to December 6-8, 2013. In addition, A Crystal Integration workshop has been scheduled at a new date in September. We will meet for the Crystal Integration September 13-15, 2013.

The Crystal Integration workshop is designed to support greater attunement with yourself and with the crystals. It should be a wonderful workshop to journey to your soul's intention.

The Four Chambered Heart is an integration workshop for the medicine wheel. Those that have completed 3 or the 4 workshops on the medicine wheel will find this workshop will support your synthesizing the entire wheel within yourself.

The October Hawk Medicine workshop is sold-out. A waiting list has been established. I encourage using the waiting list as it is common for "life to happen" to some people resulting in their withdrawal.

Looking forward to a spectacular 2013.

Bountiful Blessings,
One White Horse Standing

Crystal Integration

September 13-15, 2013

The Crystal Integration workshop will focus on crystals and integration at the soul, individual and community levels. In some of the work, we will focus on the light body that is activated minerals (quartz) within the body. Some think that the activation of this light body is what regenerates our life force. Others believe that it is simply an illumination of the spirit. Regardless of your beliefs, we are going to explore this illumination through the creation of a massive sacred space.

Sacred Space

The sacred space will be anchored by an altar of 800-1000 pounds of rocks and crystals. In addition, each person is asked to bring eight(8) pieces of granite that will be used to create individual and intertwining sacred circles. The combination will be to create a massive healing energy to anchor the weekend.

Integration

Integration is the process by which we begin to support the chaos around and within us to form a new order. For some, this will be to complete the parallel (or past, if you are linear) life lessons and unfinished business, and/or to heal bleed-through. For others, it will be a return to the center, where the wisdom of internal authority will be rekindled to provide a guiding light for each person.

Bring your Stones Including 8 Pieces of Granite

Each person is encouraged to bring whatever stones or crystals feel appropriate or necessary to support your process. In addition, several stones will be provided for use during workshop. Some of the crystals will be gifted to you. Others will be available for purchase at cost or returned at the end of the workshop.

The Four Chambered Heart

A Journey into Wholeness

December 6-9, 2013

The four chambered heart consists of being fully centered (in our heart) and actively maintaining a strong, clear, open, and full heart. The strong heart means that we have true courage that is based on our internal authority of who we are. We are able to show up and be present without preconceived notions, while having the Ability to Take Action and Enforce Boundaries. The clear heart means that we have removed our personal biases and blinders and developed a clarity about self so that we can see clearly who we are by having respect for self and for others without confusing external temptations that can lead down the destructive path of envy or entitlement. With a clear heart, we are able to assess, analyze and contain, while saying what is so when it is so, without blame or judgment. The open heart is a heart that can love itself, having been nurtured by self, family, nature, and life. It does not measure against a bucket emptied by draining one's source of life by not accepting the innate sense of being loved regardless of circumstances. With a open heart, we have the Ability to Connect and Feel, while paying attention to what has heart and meaning. The full heart means that we can embrace all of life with a sense of wisdom and generosity. It is an awareness that there are as many stories of what is life as there are people; hence, though we can influence others, we must always be open to them and their evolving story. With a full heart, we have the Ability to Initiate, Support and Create Order while being open to outcome.

Wholeness

In the silence of who we are, we discover a part of our self that is sacred. This part of our self does not come to the surface through determination or brute force or sheer willpower. Rather it emerges from within the sacredness of who we are when sacred space is opened and safely held. When we touch our own sacredness, we touch our soul.

To find this part of our selves, we need to remember who we are by traveling through the four chambers of our heart.

What to Expect

The workshop will do several shamanic journeys over the course of the weekend. The focus of the workshop is total immersion into the spiritual world for two days so that the emergence of one's soul can surface through a memory, an insight, or a deep awareness. A large altar/vortex is created with four large rose quartz crystals and one large selenite. This creates a massive energetic field. Within this field, the people are able to find the safety necessary for the soul or inner parts of the self to come to the surface to heal and be healed. It is common for people to have transformational healing experiences.

Who Should Come

All participants who have completed the medicine wheel.

What to Bring

Please bring any rocks or crystals that want to come along. A journal notebook with colored pencils or pens is encouraged as well as any comforts such as blankets, pillows, etc.

Hawk Medicine

SOLD OUT!

October 25-27, 2013

Keynote: Visionary power and guardianship

Cycle of Power:
Spring/Fall Equinoxes--New Moon

hawk-1Keenest eyes of all raptors. They are impressive and stir the imagination. Their hunting ability, their eyesight, and their powerful flights and other behaviors are dynamic symbols. The red-tailed hawk is a messenger. Its red tail is symbolic of the kundalini, the seat of the life force. In the human, this is the base chakra. It can reflect that you will be working with the life-force or that you will work with the hawk after the kundalini is activated or that childhood visions are becoming empowered and fulfilled.

The ability to soar and glide upon the currents is part of what it can teach. It teaches how to fly to great heights while keeping your feet on the ground. Hawks may be attacked by people who won't understand you or different uses of your creative energy. They may attack your ability to soar.

Rising to a higher level can bring a rapid development of the psychic energies. It helps us in balancing and using these senses appropriately. It teaches the balance necessary to discover our true purpose. The red reflects a greater intensity of energy at play within your life. It reflects an intensity of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual forces. It is a catalyst for stimulating hope and new ideas. It reflects a need to be open to the new or shows you ways that may help teach others to be open to the new.

hawk-2Because of the strong life-force activated by this totem, an individual with it must be careful in how they express themselves. There will unfold within you the ability to tear off the heads of any snakes in your life, or anyone or anything seen as an enemy. Your comments and actions will be like the hawk's beak and talons—strong and powerful, but with a capability to tear and/or kill.

The feathering of the red-tail actually has two phases. In the summer it is lighter and darker in the winter. The lighter phase is symbolic of more joyful and sociable kinds of energy. The darker phases can reflect a time to be alone and to withdraw a little. Its phases help us to guard against blazing so brightly and intensely that we get burnt out. Through its flight it communicates with humans and the great creator spirit. It awakens our vision and inspires us to a creative life purpose.

Wholeness

In the silence of who we are, we discover a part of our self that is sacred. This part of our self does not come to the surface through determination or brute force or sheer will power. Rather it emerges from within the sacredness of who we are when sacred space is opened and safely held. When we touch our own sacredness, we touch our soul.
