When the computer repair person told me my logic board had failed, all
I could do was laugh. After all, that same week both our cars had dead
batteries on the same morning. My work at Miraval came to a
standstill. And it snowed in Tucson. Clearly my internal logic board
could not make sense of any of this.
Where do we go when our logic boards fail? What strategies can we
employ while we’re waiting for things to make sense to our minds
again?
I immediately retreat to the right brain, to the land of intuition,
dreams, symbols and myth—and of course this is my favorite land
anyway. Perhaps it is not yours. But I have some new tools to offer
you this year to balance your left brain with your right, to develop
your intuition and creativity and your sense of deep inner wisdom.
The first tool is my brand new book;
Sand Spirits: The
Workbook! If you already own a set of Sand Spirits, you know the
cards come with a booklet. The workbook takes the cards several steps
deeper. It contains exercises and sample workings of exercises and
applications for business, time management, testing wild ideas,
bringing out the muse, and techniques for working with children, with
self-healing and for creating your own practices. I’m delighted with
the beautiful graphic design by Sally Rogers, and by the thoughtful
contributions by clients. Click here
for more information, see the back and front
covers and order a copy on this site.
The retail price of the workbook is $29.95 plus shipping; included
with it is a color insert with photos of all the Sand Spirits. The
sets of Sand Spirit cards are $24.95 plus shipping. If you order them
together, you pay $45 plus shipping, over a 15% discount from the $55
value.
Consider a workshop to develop the tool of your choice. See the
calendar and details for shamanic energy circles, Sand Spirit
workshops and events and our newest offering, a series of classes on
Photography as a Spiritual Practice. If you’re outside the Tucson
area, check out the retreats at Cimarroncita this summer. Keep
checking the website, as new events will be added.
You might consider sponsoring a workshop, as Jeni Halliday is doing in
Houston this spring. You help with gathering participants and
arranging the place, and in return you attend free and receive a gift.
Email me for more details. Check out the
Houston workshop if you’ll be
in the area; it’s open to the community.
By the way, the Sand Spirits have informed me that astrological forces
and other mysterious large powers sometimes confuse us, as there are
larger patterns than the one the fits our map. “Zoom your map out to
the cosmic one,” they said, and relax a bit. Work with and around
these “illogical” events that often irritate homo sapiens. Identify
instead with being homo luminous, a light being and all that
represents. Be joyous even when you’re slowed down. Now that makes
sense.
In Love and Light,

Shamanic Coaching Circles
Please join us for Shamanic coaching circles! The act of meditating
together on a subject, speaking our intentions and then offering them
in a fire ceremony is a powerful thing to share. And as often as
possible, these are held outside on our patio under a full moon.
The circles are open to men and women. You can reserve a place up
until 24 hours in advance. I do ask, however, that you make a
commitment by 24 hours in advance. I do prepare, so if you cancel
after that I will have to bill you. Circles are limited to 12.
And what happens? We call in the spirits of the four directions to
create a sacred space. We pass the talking stick and offer our
thoughts about the topic for the night. Then we meditate together, and
pass the talking stick again. Then we offer an intention or
prayer—usually focused on something we are releasing or letting go
of—at a fire ceremony. We drum, rattle and chant and offer our
gratitude and our prayers to the universe. Before we close the four
directions, we pass the talking stick once more to share our
experience. Then some of us hang around and talk and have a glass of
wine or a cup of hot tea.
The cost is $25 per session unless you bring a first-timer with you,
and then you each pay only $20. If you wish to “buy” all three circles
in advance, you pay only $60. Time:
7-9 pm; gather at 6:30 for snacks.
