WORKSHOPS AND PRESENTATIONS
Seeing Our Lives Through A Different Lens
Come and explore your creative vision and use it to see new
possibilities in your life! You’ll learn how to make use of everything
nature supplies around you to see your life situations in ways that
will help you cultivate peace, happiness, creativity and healing. Even
if you don’t consider yourself creative, you’ll see that everyone
is—and that you have surprising inner resources of intuition and
problem-solving powers.
You’ll explore the “Sand Spirits,” a stunning set of photographic
cards created from abstract photographs of stones, sand, seaweed,
shells and other objects found on a beach. Pam will teach you how to
dialogue with a “sand spirit” who will astound you with insight and
wisdom. You’ll experience exercises from her Sand Spirits: The
Workbook, which have helped people all over the world with issues
in business, the arts, communication and problem-solving, family
relationships, teaching children, self-healing and with professional
work in the healing arts Guided visualization will deepen your
experience.
In a daylong workshop, you’ll also work with natural objects you
gather on a “medicine walk” and incorporate into a mandala or “soul
map” that you’ll create outdoors.
For a large group or a talk, images can be projected on a screen,
and for a short workshop, participants will receive handouts. Card
sets and workbooks can be sold at all events, or can be part of
package. Participants do not need to purchase anything for the
workshop.
Flying Lessons: 7 Ways to Break Free and Soar
Do you believe you can fly? The fantasy and symbol of flight is so
ancient and powerful that most of us dream, either waking or sleeping,
of soaring beyond our fears, pain and self-doubt, and achieving our
dreams.
Through Pam’s stories about learning to fly a small plane in her
mid-50’s, you’ll explore the fears and blocks that serve as “gravity”
for you. As you get to know Pam’s colorful flight instructor, Clio,
you’ll learn the seven lessons that Pam’s “aviation therapist” gave
her for life. How will you relate to “Know Where You’re Going to
Land,” or “Have Enough Fuel for the Journey?” You’ll leave with a
dipstick and instructions for using it to manage your energy so that
you can soar.
You’ll hear the moving story of how Pam has applied Clio’s teaching
to her healing journey through cancer. You’ll identify with the hero’s
journey to find the life force inside that Pam compares to a bird that
longs to be freed from its cage.
In a class setting, you’ll receive a “flight assessment” form that
will allow you to see where you can make changes in your life. Pam
will demonstrate with her quick and insightful coaching how her
metaphor allows you to see what you need to do to rise above your
current challenges. You’ll leave with a seven-step process you can use
for your whole life with any issue.
In a workshop or 3-day retreat, you will have more time to
experience and work with Pam in depth. This powerful material, from
Pam’s forthcoming book, can be presented as a keynote a class, or a
retreat. Bomber jackets and flight scarves encouraged!
Ancient Tools for Contemporary Relationships
Come and explore some tools that indigenous peoples all over the
world have used for thousands of years to enhance personal and
community communication and healing.
Depending on the amount of time we have together, we can explore
these tools either in brief or in depth:
- The talking stick: a tool for communication
- The power animal: a tool for protection
- The shamanic journey: a tool for decision making
- The medicine bundle: a toll for acting “on purpose”
- The sand painting: a tool for transformation
- The sacred circle: a tool for strengthening community
- The fire ceremony: a tool for healing the planet
This workshop, retreat or series of classes are great for families,
corporate teams, or people who want to explore a spirituality that is
an earth-based path where nature is considered sacred. This is not a
religion or a cult, but a way of seeing the world that can enrich life
for people of all faiths. A keynote, titled “The Shamanic path:
Ancient Practices for Contemporary Lives: is an introduction.
Photography as Spiritual Practice: Seeing the Inner and Outer
Landscape
Explore photography as a vehicle for seeing, healing and raising
the level of your passion, purpose and connection to Spirit. Beginning
and accomplished photographers can stretch your “seeing” ability using
instant cameras, journaling, the Sand Spirit cards and spiritual
practices. Open your senses and explore creative tools for activating
your intuition, wisdom and insight.
This subject can be explored in a talk accompanied by photographic
examples; in a two-hour photographic walk; or in a retreat setting
where participants journal about what they see and create a
photographic collage of their work.
