SUMMARY:Drumming in Sacred Circle
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Starfeather Marcy \nThe beat of the drum calls to all of us; it is a universal human experience that roots us in our essential nature. We come together to enjoy that drumming experience in sacred circle\, which means we open with a prayer\, calling in the 4 Directions.  We pass the talking stick to introduce ourselves and we co-create enriching time as we drum\, sing and chant together.  Please bring a drum or rattle if you have one or come anyway if you don’t.  Bring a friend!  Enjoy an evening of rhythm\, fun and friendship.  All are welcome. \nStarfeather resides in the Seattle\, Washington area and is an old friend and former resident of Cape Cod. She lived for many years in Dennis where she and her husband raised their two sons.  During the 1980s\, Starfeather owned a small business in Dennis called Art & Soul Creative Workshop Center. She visits semi-annually with relatives that live on the Cape. \nFill out my LGL Form!

Each week we will read a small chapter from 21 Stages of Meditation by Gurucharan Singh Kalsa\, PhD and come together to discuss ‘jewels’ of the reading followed by group meditation.

You will be introduced to some of the techniques that we use in Kundalini meditation and prove to you that anyone can meditate. \nYou will need to purchase the book for this class. \nBevin Stark\, Cape native\, has spent over 20 years practicing Kundalini yoga and has been teaching 3-4 days a week for the past 10 yrs.

SUMMARY:Dreamwork: Opening Letters From Spirit
DESCRIPTION:You will learn a bit about dreams – different kinds and the ways they have been understood both in history\, spiritual traditions and contemporary psychology. Ruah will present 3 differing ways to open up dreams: dream mapping\, dream dialogue and dream unfolding. You will do all 3 in class so you can see what you prefer. She will also teach how to listen to another’s dream and offer one’s own insights without interpreting what it is for someone else (dreamwork etiquette). \nThe goal of the class will be to learn how to explore one’s own dreams and apply them to what is happening currently in the dreamer’s internal and/or external life. \nRuah Bull M.A.\,M.Ed. is a spiritual director\, educator and retreat facilitator. She works with people on a variety of spiritual paths who are looking to connect with and trust their inner wisdom. A student of Celtic Christianity\, Native American shamanism\, archetypal psychology and subtle energy work\, Ruah is passionate about participating in the current emergence of a spirituality that is embodied\, intuitive and contemplative.

SUMMARY:Forest Bathing Walking Meditation
DESCRIPTION:with Carol Marcy at Sylvan Gardens in Chatham. You should be at the Center for the Spiritual Journey\, 880 Main Street\, Chatham\, MA no later than 12:20pm to meet Carol Marcy who will accompany you to Sylvan Gardens and lead your walk.\n$10 per session \nThis concept of Forest Bathing grew out of a practice in Japan called Shinrin-yoku that spread to China and Korea and now to the United States. It is about swimming in the living being of the forest: drinking in the smells\, feeling the breeze on your skin\, hearing it move through the trees\, soaking up the warm healing rays of the sun\, touching the earth with awareness. Because this practice is about slowing down\, focusing on the abundant life in and around you\, it is immensely healing. You return from this experience refreshed\, calmer\, more at peace on the inside. Your body\, mind\, spirit and heart have had an opportunity to feel a deep sense of connection with yourself and with Nature. \nThese walks are led by Carol Marcy\, who has a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and certification as a Meditation teacher. She has been leading meditative walks on Cape Cod for several years. Please join us for a wonderful heart opening experience. The walk is approximately 1 mile long on easy and beautiful terrain. Please dress comfortably for hiking. Be sure that you are warm enough because we go slowly. \nYou should be at the Center for the Spiritual Journey\, 880 Main Street\, Chatham\, MA no later than 12:20pm to meet Carol Marcy who will accompany you to Sylvan Gardens and lead your walk. \nEmail Tricia at info@csjcapecod.org with questions. \nFill out my LGL Form!
