Marilyn and Tohmas Twintreess 

Listening to the New Stonebeing Guides for the New Millennium
Friday 1:00 – 3:00PM, Room 205
During each Earth Age, humans have learned new and different lessons with the Earth Mother and all her beings.  In this millennium, we are being invited to evolve as never before. This is such an immense privilege and challenge, simultaneously, that we are being offered very generous help by the Stonebeings.  Their timeless wisdom is supporting us to take the leap and to be our true, divine selves right now. In this gathering, we will listen to/with Stonebeings who can beautifully guide us through this evolution.  We will bring some of the exact Stonebeing Guides that we have gone to many parts of the Earth Mother, ourselves, to receive, so that you can touch them and feel their ongoing love and support. All levels

Surrounding Yourself with the Gifts of the Stonebeings
Sunday 10:00AM – 12:00PM, Room 205
Throughout the ages, people have placed Stonebeings on their bodies, and in their homes and possessions, for physical, emotional and spiritual healing. But not all of the old ways help us now because there is a new, ever accelerating vibration upon the evolving Earth Mother. In our listening with the Stonebeings they have shown us how to place them in new, specific formations in our spaces that attract what we most need and desire. They have shown us how to put them on, or near, our bodies, to encourage deep regeneration and profound integration.  They have shown us how to travel to different parts of the Earth Mother to find the exact Stonebeings that support our quantum-leap evolution.  It is our honor to share this wisdom with you; it affirms each of us wherever we are right now, and simultaneously, what we are becoming. All levels

The Crystal Connection to Wholeness
As crystal healers, we often see clients with dis-ease associated with shutting down or disconnecting from the lower chakras. Following the principle of  "As Above, So Below",  you'll learn to connect the upper and lower chakras in order to manifest total health and well being and bring Spirit into the physical. In this workshop, we'll use exercises and crystals to open and clear the chakras and facilitate the connection of the upper and lower chakras.
