Wings for Flying: Stages of Growth for Healer, Sage, and Seer
Cyndi Dale, Energy Medicine Scholar, Author, Healer

“I do not know whether I was a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.” (Chuang Tzu)

As healers, we evolve through the same four stages of transformation as does the butterfly. Negotiating the crosswinds of the universe, we move between origin, caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly, seeking always that mysterious goal of serving as the “enlightened healer,” one able to access fully the gifts of healer, sage, and seer. Over and over, we visit these stages, embracing their unique challenges and blessings, to finally emerge as the in-flight specialist that captures no prey, carries no food, and builds no shelter. Come and explore the features, struggles, pitfalls, and potentials of these four stages, along with the truths, remedies, and processes that enable each to serve as a brilliant and Holy Grail of change. Come, too, and experience the ideas and practices that will continue to uplift you in this dance of wind and power between heaven and earth.

Cyndi Dale is the award-winner author of 15 books about spirituality and energy medicine, including The Subtle Body: An Encyclopedia of Your Energetic Anatomy and The Complete Book of Chakra Healing. She has worked with over 35,000 clients and traveled the world to learn and teach. She currently lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with her two sons, way too many pets, and is working on several additional books, including a comedy about mothering.

Group Sing Along - “Gardens of Soil, Gardens of Spirit”
Kathleen Kelly, RN,BS-Promoter of health, joy and music making

Music lives in every fiber of our being. The rustle of the wind in the trees and the power of the ocean's waves were healing to the earth long before we even inhabited it. Together we will acknowledge and celebrate the role of music in well-being. Vocal exercises will invite us to "tune in" to ourselves and each other. Singing together we will experience the healing effects of a "hearty" Sing-a-long!

Forty years of nursing has taken Kathleen up and down many roads-Lamaze Instructor, Planetree Facilitator, Community Health Educator to name a few. "Singing Your Stress Away" is her favorite workshop which she has shared with many varied audiences--young families,students,educators,seniors,etc. Blending healing and music has been a life-long mission for Kathleen. She is most grateful for all of the avenues of musical healing expression that she has and will travel.

Intuitive Health
Marie Manuchehri, RN, Energy Medicine Healer

Even doctors and the most sophisticated tests can't always find the source of a health issue, but there is one authority that always knows—your own body. Each of us intuitively perceives what we need for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. The biggest challenge for most of us is learning to trust our inner guidance, not just for ourselves, but also for those we touch. Marie Manuchehri, a registered oncology nurse, and renowned energy healer, will provide insight and accessible instruction to help you discover your unique strengths for reading and working with subtle energy.

 Marie is a nationally known energy intuitive, Reiki master, teacher and author of, Intuitive Self-Healing. While working as a registered oncology nurse, Marie first discovered her unique gifts for perceiving subtle energy and facilitating energetic healing. She has her own practice in Seattle, Washington, teaches popular classes and workshops, and hosts a weekly radio program on KKNW “The Marie Manuchehri Show…Where Energy and Medicine Meet.”

Crop Circles: Catalysts for Growth
Ann Cathcart,BA, BSN, RN, HTCP, HNB-BC, LUT

Crop circles are a modern day phenomenon with implications beyond human comprehension. Healers continually strive to grow in their mastery of healing. How can healers work with the energy and messages appearing on earth in grain fields-of all places? Explore the enigma, feel the power, learn from symbols and sacred geometry. Awareness expands consciousness, enhances curiosity, and boosts confidence toward all possibilities. There were over one hundred elaborate crop circles worldwide in 2012. What is the message?

Ann Cathcart is a holistic nurse, certified in Healing Touch since 1996 and a charter member of HTPA. She is privileged to serve on the Healing Touch Worldwide Foundation board of trustees and maintains an independent healing practice in the Minneapolis area. As adjunct faculty to several nursing schools, she teaches health/wellness principles, holistic and integrative health. She has studied metaphysics for most of her life and has held a fascination with crop circles for more than a decade. She has visited the Wiltshire area of England, where a majority of crop circles appear and experienced the energy, joy, science and mystery of many elaborate circles. She is excited to share her revelations with fellow healers.
