Ascension Class with Pat Zimmerman
Aug 15, 1pm.- 5pm. $25 (Not a misprint! This class is $25)
This is how Pat describes the class:
This is a series, with one class per month. You do not need to come to every class. New people welcome.
The class begins with understanding the spiritual hierarchy, then we spend time understanding each of the 7 main rays and the masters, angelic realm, etc. that are in charge of the ray.
Part of the class includes an ascension ceremony. Each participant takes their turn in the chair in prayer (for 3-5 minutes) while St. Germain works on raising their vibration.
Everyone brings a snack to pass around which we eat during the 1/2-hr social time before class and after so people are well grounded when they leave.
Asian Deities with Beth Ann Kennedy Aug 26
In August we will be meditating on
August - Kuan Yin - the Chinese Buddhist Goddess of compassion. She is a very active, very loving goddess who is strongly present in our modern world.
There will be channeled messages from this goddess followed by several meditations to connect with her one on one.
Note: Each monthly meditation is complete in itself. You do not have to come to every meeting and you can begin at any time.

Sun. Aug. 30 10 - 2, Sat. Sept. 19 1 - 5, Sun. Nov. 8 10 - 2, Sat. Dec. 1, 1 - 5
An in-depth exploration of the physical, physiological and etheric dynamics of each chakra and how to systematically work with the energetic layers to effect healing. Whatever your personal preference in energy healing techniques, this information will be helpful in developing your skills.
Tuition: $50 per class
Intuitive Skill Development: A Series with Vivien Schapera
Sept. 8, Oct. 6, Nov. 10, Dec. 1 7 - 9pm.
The power of our healing sessions ultimately depend on our ability to access intuitive information -- the ability to perceive the subtle energies, pick up on current emotional and physical dynamics, access past life influences, read the information packaged in the energy field and connect meaningfully with spirit guides. This class is designed to deepen these intuitive skills by giving participants time to systematically practice in a conducive atmosphere, thereby building confidence. Prior knowledge is a pre-requisite as this is an advanced class. To find out if this is the right class for you, contact Vivien at info@4windsacademy.org

Next Shamanic Training Level 1, October 2 - 4 2009
with Neil Schapera
Many were disappointed to miss the first offering in May. Sign up now for the October training.
This is for serious students who would like to develop their shamanic skills.
A Shaman is a person who can act as an agent of the material world, by crossing over to the spirit world to request information and assistance. This Shamanic Training will take you through the process of building your individual map of the spirit dimension, and your relationship with your spirit helpers and teachers, allowing you powerful access to the spirits when you wish to request their assistance for self and others.
This is the first weekend of training in a series that will span 3 years, 2 weekends per year. Follow up dates have not yet been scheduled.
About Neil Schapera: At last Neil has agreed to teach this training for FourWinds Academy! Neil trained with Michael Harner (The Way of the Shaman) and Sandra Ingerman (Soul Retrieval) in a 3-year, in depth training of Core Shamanism. Neil will systematically share this process to help others explore and develop their shamanic practice.
FourWinds Academy's Midwest Crystal and Healing Energy Event, March 19 - 21, 2010 at Sharonville Convention Center
