Antonia Greene & Kim Newall
Dreamer’s Medicine Wheel

Dance and dream into the Peruvian Inca Medicine Wheel through the four stages of healing and personal transformation. Travel through each direction to shed the past and be re-informed by our direct relationship with Spirit. Shamanic journeys help us embody the vision and destiny that call to us from our own future selves. Learn how each direction’s archetypes can assist us with our transformation. We will create a portable shaman’s altar of four stones to carry home this sacred medicine.

Kim Newall and Antonia Greene trained with Peruvian Alberto Villoldo. Kim is an educator, visual artist and shamanic healer, and trained with Jose Luis Herrera and Cherokee Mary Blankenship. She is a graduate of Robert Moss’ Dream Teacher Training. Antonia Greene, is a psychotherapist and shamanic energy healer in the Andean and Toltec traditions. She is trained in Expressive Arts Therapy, Bioenergetic Analysis, mother-infant work and Object Relations.

June BlueSpruce
Tree Medicine Dreaming

Trees create a web of connection with other living beings through their roots and at their crowns. When we dream, messages come to us through a similar web in the dreamworld. The physical Earth and the world of dreams are one – there is no separation. In this workshop, we will enter the web and experience our connection with all that is. We will learn more about how to receive dream messages, what they mean and how to use them to guide and heal our lives. We will meet spirit allies who can help us. Bring a dream to share.

June BlueSpruce, MPH, Certified Intrinsic Coach®, is a shamanic dreamer and healer who works extensively with shamanic practices, individually and in groups. She provides coaching, dream consultation, shamanic energy healing, soul retrieval, house and land clearing and blessing. She teaches workshops and leads circles on dreaming, shamanic journeying, and tree medicine.

Embodying Our Woman Soul

Through Constellation Soulwork, together we will face losses of our Divine Feminine Center when we leave our bodies, nurture others until we are exhausted, swallow our wisdom, and abandon ourselves for/in intimacy. With each other’s support, we will stand with our spiritual and blood Grandmothers behind us, drawing strength, hope and blessing into the feminine center of For-Giving-Ness. When seen and heard, the Heart opens and Love is felt.

Moving the Chinese Five Elements

Using expressive “movement from within,” participants explore the 5 Elements through their physical bodies. We will learn physical correspondences and balance and energize our bodies! There is great power in moving together, for ourselves, for the earth and for the elements themselves. Each element can be thought of as an archetype, a person, and a physical element we can see, hear, touch, taste and smell. We will explore the elements with our minds, listening from within then moving together. Bring a favored object or bring/wear something red, yellow, white/grey, blue/black, or green/orange.

Kathleen Kenneally, LAc, LMP and LMHC is an acupuncturist, massage therapist and body-psychotherapist with a practice at Greenlake. Kathleen loves to move and sees great value in listening from within
