Classes ~ About

I offer classes that can benefit everyone who has interest in energetic self-care and in understanding a deeper relationality that underlies the physical world. Classes are fun and experiential, and the techniques are accessible and tangible. Sequences of study are designed to help you develop a sensitivity to subtle energy within yourself and in relationship to others. I often teach in tandem with colleagues.

ASTROLOGICAL ARCHETYPES – 2020 PREVIEW

Saturday, December 21

10-11:30am 

The Roots Enrichment Center

10 Mustang Lane, Bellevue

Whitney Gershater has put together a wonderful array of classes honoring Winter Solstice, a time of magic, deepening and new beginnings. Classes range from yoga to vision board making, crafts to sound baths. I’ll be offering an archetypal overview of what’s coming up in 2020. It will be for people new to archetypal astrology as well as seasoned, with a brief description of a handful of archeytypes that will be salient this coming year. I’ll share a range of possibilities of how the archetypes may interact with each other, how they have in the past, and what we may likely notice personally as well as collectively, as well as some visualization techniques to work constructively with the energy of those archetypes.

Saturn Meditation Class

Saturday, January 12, 12:30-2pm, $25 – for new folk and seasoned
Ketchum

 

I’ve developed a recent interest in framing the energy self-care and healing techniques I often teach in terms of a specific archetype having to do with structure and form: the archetype of Saturn. You may or may not have had an interest in astrology – whether or not it’s spoken to you, Saturn symbolically reflects the part of life having to do with structure and limitation, foundation, stability, discipline, form, reality, maturity, authority, hierarchy. All often positive things. Yet it’s also associated with the negative sides of the above, which can manifest as restriction, resistance, blocks, depression, mortality, judgement, criticism, isolation. These words just scratch the surface, yet give you an idea of the prevalence of this archetype in living a human, embodied life.

I’m using foundational energy meditation techniques to bolster the positive sides of Saturn, and help transform the troublesome sides into more useful aspects. This seems to be part of the art of life, and maturing: to transform what is challenging into learning, growth, and positive change. The Saturn archetype provides especially abundant material for this. The techniques we will frame in this context are from Grounded & Embodied Meditation Class, if you have taken that. This class often rolls into a part two, which we can schedule with those who attend it.

APRIL 2018
Grounded and Embodied Energy Meditation, Part 1

Developing a sensitivity to and learning how to work with your personal energy can make a tangible difference in your day-to-day experiences. Science describes the world around us—including the human body—as being made up of energy. Many unseen aspects of our experience, such as thoughts and emotions, are as well. This class gives you tools for self-care as well as ways to work with distractions, such as inner chatter, emotional charge and stress, from an energetic perspective, to create positive change.

Specifically, the techniques help with:

• Grounding – how to return to a place of feeling grounded when we feel stressed, scattered or anxious
• Connecting to our own feelings, ideas, intuition, body
• Strengthening our sense of stability, center and experience, as well as to connecting with our inner wisdom
• Discernment – differentiating between what is ours and what is not ours. At times, we wrestle with others’ projections onto us (and/or judgement, criticism, expectations), or cultural conditioning that may or may not be in our best interest
• Clearing unnecessary energies, enabling us to make better choices
• Cultivating intuition
• Increasing our awareness and focus
• Promoting positive aspects for natural empaths and those who are sensitive by developing sensitivity with boundaries and safety

These techniques offered complement other forms of meditation practices.

10 Week Reading & Healing Class

Content:
This class follows our Introduction to Energy Meditation Class/Grounding class. We’ll develop energy reading skills (going into a trance, recognition and discernment of energies via different methods), different healing skills (moving/ clearing energy and facilitating change, both for yourself and others), self-development, and blowing pictures (freeing our personal and cultural ideas of things, so we can perceive what is really there). These reading and healing skills are developed throughout. The topography we’ll cover includes caring and cleansing the chakras and aura, de-cording, fear and love, presence, colors/vibrations, and self-care, among other topics. We’ll balance diving into new information with nurturing and deepening what you know, so that it becomes your own practice.

We believe that intuition development and energetic awareness are natural parts of being human – that they are buried capacities in our individualistic post-industrial and post-modern age. This class develops a skill set that helps you regain a natural flow, connect more closely to your deep inner wisdom, each other, and the natural world.

Date/Time:
9:30-11:00 am Wednesday mornings,
with an additional optional practice meditation offering to be decided on.
February 4, 11, 18, 25
March 4, 11, 18, 25
April 1, 8, (15 – make up if needed)

Cost:
