East Power Workshop: Love
Every time the sun rises in the East and the darkness of night subsides, we are reminded of the love that is present in the very fabric of Mother Life. In Native American spirituality, the Condor and Eagle protect the gates of the East Power. Why would these birds be connected with the sunrise and the biggest compassion of all, you might ask? Because they fly highest in the sky of all birds–closest to the Sun and heavens above–the symbolic realm of Wakan Tanka, Great Spirit–even while they can plunge down to ground and stand on the Earth where we humans live. They teach us that we are spirit in a human body. Even as we hold form and even die to form, we have the power to access the unlimited love that is the fabric of the universe.
Join our warm and loving community to study these ancient, esoteric teachings about how to cultivate divine love within us and in the outer world. They are found across many wisdom traditions–from Buddhism to Native American spirituality to the Ancient Mystery School of the Himalayas and their alternative story of the life and resurrection of Jesus. In this workshop, you will:
- Add to or begin to build a medicine bundle with healing ally stones and power objects.
- Paint an Earth Shield to anchor into mind, body, feelings, and spirit the teachings of Divine Love.
- Learn to ignite the fires of Divine Love in the heart through shamanic meditation.
- Learn how to connect with and hold your continual awareness on your Divine I AM Presence and Compassionate Mind.
- Learn how to use prayer, dance, sound, and scent to transcend our small, human condition and connect into the sublime realm of Spirit into enlightenment.
- Dance awake, meditate and bond with the Earth Wheel our community build on the land in July, 2011 to deepen your relationship to Mother Earth, the Great Medicine Wheel and yourself.
