August 2021 "International Traveler"

August Newsletter 2021
 
“International Traveler”
 
I’m a homebody, not much into traveling, but since we opened the Bed and Breakfast, I’m getting an opportunity to experience other countries through the guests that come to stay.  Just this summer alone, I’ve heard stories from immigrants of Poland, Bulgaria, Saudi Arabia, Honduras, Columbia, and Mexico. I’ve also heard stories from American’s that have traveled all over the world for their jobs. Africa, Central and South America, to Europe and to the Middle East.
 
I’m learning so much from the guests that come, about their culture, their own personal stories and how they came to America and their perspectives, that I’ve got a new appreciation for where I live, on this little plot of farm land, in Wisconsin and in this country full of opportunities.  It’s fascinating!  I’ve traveled the globe this summer without leaving home, the best way for a homebody to travel.  
 
At Crow Moon Healing Bed and Breakfast, we welcome travelers to come and rest awhile and feel free to share their stories of home and travel.

2) TWO-DAY BASIC SHAMANISM WORKSHOP – SEPTEMBER 18-19

Connecting with Divine Spirit through Shamanism
A two-day basic shamanism workshop
Saturday, September 18, 2021  •  9 am - 9 pm
Sunday, September 19, 2021  •  9 am - 4 pm
Crow Moon Healing  •  6472 Breunig Road, rural Mazomanie, WI

From the beginning of time, indigenous cultures on every continent shared a shamanic spiritual view. Our forebears lived close to the earth, deeply in tune with her cycles and seasons, the elements and nature. In this connection, they found their spirituality. They believed that every living being had a spirit - not just people, but also animals, trees, stones and plants. They commonly traveled into the spirit realm to communicate and interact with power animals, spirit guides and nature spirits. Through exploring the basics of shamanism, we can rekindle our connection to the divine and develop our ability to communicate directly with Spirit to receive guidance on our spiritual path. This is a foundational class for future shamanic workshops.

In this two-day experiential workshop, we will: 

• gain comfort with accessing wisdom through the shamanic journey and explore the shamanic realms by journeying to the Lower and Upper Worlds
• meet a power animal and a spirit teacher to serve as guides in the spirit world
• practice a method of divination with natural objects and connect with nature spirits
• participate in a fire ceremony to release and transform energy
• experiment with the shamanic sounds of drumming and rattling

Fee: $375 with early registration by September 1 -OR- $425 after September 1. Meals included in the workshop fee: snacks, lunch on Saturday, breakfast on Sunday and lunch on Sunday. Dinner on Saturday evening is potluck style before the evening fire ceremony. Saturday night lodging is available on-site at no extra charge, or bring a tent and camp if you prefer. If you are from out of town and wish to arrive Friday evening, lodging is also available. This is NOT included in the workshop fee, so you would need to make arrangements directly with Karen McIntosh of Crow Moon Healing for Friday night.

To register or for more information, please contact Debra Morrill at 608-279-4319 or debramorrill6@icloud.com.

3) FALL DATES - “ENERGY ESSENTIALS FOR EMPATHS” (IN-PERSON)

Three one-day modules - sign up for Module 1 or all three! 

Energy Essentials for Empaths (in-person)
Module 1 - Saturday, September 25, 2021
Module 2 - Saturday, October 23, 2021
Module 3 - Saturday, November 20, 2021

All modules are from 9 am - 5 pm
Crow Moon Healing  •  6472 Breunig Road, rural Mazomanie, WI

These are trying times for everyone, especially for empaths. And these days, many more people are sensitive to energy. Crisis has a way of bringing our animal instincts to the surface. The ability to sense energy is a survival mechanism designed to keep us safe and ensure the continuation of the species. But we’re not meant to live in that place of heightened awareness all the time. It’s exhausting and draining to feel everyone’s pain and carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. 

Fortunately, we can learn to develop healthy energetic boundaries that enable us to be more comfortable in our body and energy field. Tools from psychic development, shamanism and meditation can help us develop healthy habits and permanent skills. This class is experiential along with group discussion and sharing. It is helpful to learn from each other and receive support. Appropriate for all experience levels - no prior experience necessary, although the ability to receive insight and intuitive information during guided meditations is helpful.

Participation in Module 1 is a pre-requisite for Modules 2 and 3. 

Module 1 - The Basics - Saturday, September 25, 2021
• connecting to Mother Earth and receiving her support in grounding
• the Recipe, a tool to start the day aligned, centered and protected
• working with a body protector power animal for maintenance of the energetic field 
• tools for healthy energetic boundaries 

Module 2 - Self Care for Empaths - Saturday, October 23, 2021
