In Native Traditions, the Dreamtime is an honored and sacred state of being conscious while dreaming. The Dreamtime is a part of the Above Direction, holding the energy of the Sky Nation and Starry Medicine Bowl. Dreaming is innate within us as sacred human beings - dreaming while asleep and dreaming while awake. Do you remember as a child lying on Mother Earth and gazing at the clouds or the stars, being taken out of yourself and into the reality of the intangible world where we dream our lives into being? So natural that we didn’t even know we were doing something extraordinary. Now, through the use of shamanic drumming, you can learn to enter the Dreamtime at will once again, to receive powerful and meaningful messages for healing, for connection and replenishment and for greater clarity in how to live your life more fully as a sacred human being.

Together, we will invoke the Animal Totems of the Dreamtime to assist us in traversing this cosmic landscape, tapping into the Medicines of Dragonfly - Guardian of Illusion, Dolphin - Messenger to the Dreamtime Dwellers, Swan - Protector of the State of Grace, and Lizard - Guide to the Art of Dreaming. This is an opportunity to begin creating an intimate, personal relationship with these totems so they can help us remember how to truly dream. Join us for this exploration beyond space and time, beyond our current personas, beyond our human limitations.

Create a mirror of your fantasies. Unmask your soul and slip into a character you really want to be and transform your spirit... by revealing it.

First Day: Introduction to masks in different cultures. We will create a negative and positive mask of each participants face Second Day: We sculpt, paint and adorn the facemask with found or bought objects

Artist's statement: " Since early childhood I carved, sculpted and modeled fantasy characters, dolls and faces from any material I could get my hands on. I am always intrigued and fascinated by ancient cultures, their traditions and ceremonies and their strong connection to nature. Being outside surrounded by nature gives me a feeling of belonging and home.

By creating a mask I can bond my passion for old cultures and nature together and create expressions of beauty in a way that can uplift the human spirit. In studying leather sculptures from the Orient and Spain and Venetian Paper Mache’ masks from Italy I found a media challenging and rewarding at the same time.

The feathers I use are obtained from farm raised birds, mainly exotic chickens, various pheasants, turkey and guinea. I create each piece intuitively starting with an idea of color and shape to reflect the energy and beauty of nature."

VIBE OVERHAUL – Getting the Law of Attraction to Work for You

Half Day Workshop
Saturday, April 26, 10am-2pm
Cost: $45
Pre-Registration Required by April 23. Call Art of WellBeing to register: 336 333-1682.

When it comes to Law of Attraction, and attracting everything you desire, it all boils down to your vibrations! You are a walking-talking-thinking-feeling energy field. In every moment, you're sending out signals (much like a radio tower) telling the Universe your innermost secrets - about everything! - while the Universe constantly and obediently delivers back manifestations matching your vibes. What many people don’t realize is they're transmitting negative vibrations much of the time (others do realize this, yet lack the tools to change their vibration).

In this 1/2 day workshop, you'll get up-close and personal with your unique inner vibe-meter. You'll learn to recognize the vibes you're offering up to the Universe, gain an understanding of how this shapes your ‘reality’ - and most importantly, you'll become a master at shifting your vibration in any given moment, to match and align with what you truly want! So hop on the fast track to getting everything you desire in this FUN, one-of-a-kind Law of Attraction workshop.

Everyone knows about "gut reactions" and the value of "trusting your gut." Chinese Medicine makes this intuitive awareness highly concrete and tangible by highlighting the unique voices, consciousness, and intelligence of our own organs. You might say that each of us have five wise guides in our five major organs. These organs are enlivened by an type of intelligence that is highly personalized to us, yet mirrors within our own bodies the 5 elemental powers of nature. If we neglect, isolate, or ignore these great sources of internal wisdom, we set ourselves up for stress, problems, confusion, and frustration. Cultivating our relationships with them leads to health, energy, and a sense of living our lives with purpose, intention, and direction. In this workshop the instructors will introduce a variety of tools for cultivation, including tai chi movements, guided meditation, healing practices, and alchemical principles for change. All fitness levels are welcome and no prior experience is required.
