SUMMARY:Dreamwork: Opening Letters From Spirit

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.

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!

SUMMARY:Journeying on Thursdays – Family Systems Reframe with Ben Emery
DESCRIPTION:The Family Systems Reframe draws on the European modality known as Systemic Constellations. \nWhat is a constellation? The shape that is taken when the people\, agendas\, desires\, blockages\, inherited stories and other invisible forces that inform a given person’s way of being in the world are invited to assume physical form in the present\, despite all the reasons to keep such things hidden away. \nAs a therapeutic approach it delves into the hidden dynamics and entanglements within one’s ancestral family system. Originating in Germany in the 1980s\, it was developed by Bert Hellinger\, drawing inspiration from family systems therapy and Zulu attitudes toward ancestors. The milieu aims to address would-be personal challenges through a systemic lens. Through the guidance of a facilitator\, participants are asked to represent family members or elements of the focus client’s family system. By arranging these representatives in physical space and allowing them to interact\, the modality brings to light unconscious intergenerational patterns and loyalties\, widening the client’s perspective and allowing him or her to find new solutions. By addressing the systemic origins of problems\, Family Constellations incite healing and transformation\, fostering acceptance\, gratitude\, and compassion towards the family system. \nThe Family Systems Reframe workshop takes a decisive step back from group therapy in favor of something more akin to fireside storying; along with all the laughter and camaraderie that you might come with it. \nBen Emery has a Master of Restorative Practices in Youth Counseling\, International Institute for Restorative Practices\nBachelor of Human Resource Management\, University of Colorado Boulder\nFamiienaktivationsmanegment Certified [Family System Reboot in Child Protection]. Diakonie-Dusseldorf. Dusseldorf\, Germany\n12 year scholar under Stephen Jenkinson’s Orphan Wisdom School for Grief Practitioners.\nCommunity Accountability Board Certified. CURJ.
