Join us in this weekend exploration of the nature of, and use of sound and light, in healing and  transformation.  What is the nature of sound?  How is it used in shamanic and sacred sound healing?  How do we connect with and channel the divine energies of light and sound?  What is the human energy field, and how does sound interact with it in healing and transformation?  We will work with specific techniques of intonation, intuitive guidance, focalization of will and intent, channeling of light energies, meditations to enhance awareness, guidance, and personal  transformation, the use of sounding tools such as voice, drums, tingshas, and crystal bowls, individual and group healings, and more.

This is an in depth program which will benefit practitioner and novice alike.  We will create or deepen our foundation of understanding and experience to open us to further work with the mysteries of sacred sound in healing and transformation.  Zacciah's trainings are strongly influenced by intuitive guidance.  The content of program material will alter from program to program due to this guidance, based in part, on current needs and abilities of the group.

Further Initiations into Earth and Sky

Utilizing Esoteric Exercises of Shamanic

and Alchemical Traditions

These are newly developing programs utilizing explicit energies of ancient sacred stone sites, used by little known cultures here in North America, in pre-historic times, for attunement to and alignment with earth and star energies, and higher consciousness.  These will be unique programs, fully guided by the essences/energies of the sites and the keys to consciousness which they hold.

Most programs will be at the DreamLodge (active stone chamber) and other lodges and components of the Calendar I site, but may incorporate time at the Cavendish Gorge, Mount Mansfield, Black Mountain, or other sacred sites.  We will work with the sacred essences of stone and water, air, Earth, sun & Sky, the Keepers, Celestial, and Ancestral beings of these sites in celebratory communion. 

 

Stargatherer:
a journey to our most ancient homelands

We each have our own starfields (those celestial bodies which are special or
sacred to each of us,) which hold key elements of our ancient past:  authenticity, power, memories, greater awareness, wisdom, and knowledge, our most ancient heritage.  Moreso, the starfields of the universe hold key elements of energy, threads of light,memory, and consciousness that are integral to the Earth's development, healing, and transformation at this time.  Join Zacciah in discovering and applying these new and ancient techniques of journeying and gathering star energies to use in your own transformative exercises, and healing path. The Earth calls us. The stars beckon.

Walking with Bear:
A Quest for Medicine
 

   Preregistration requested
Limited Enrollment

      For those of us who are healers, or wish to deepen  awareness of our own innate wisdom of ourselves.  Bear medicine opens our heart with the power of deep insight, compassion, and forgiveness.  Bear also can be a doorway to the Sacred Feminine, to the place within both ourselves and the Creation, where life is gestated, cultivated, formed.  We do not wish to define what Bear Medicine is, so much as to discover what the medicine, or power, which Bear is, offers to each of us, individually, when we open to Bear's presence.  We are going to look at our own potential, and the powers Bear is willing to bring to those of us seeking and willing to walk the road of Bear’s healing Medicine.  This program is for those ready to develop deep journeying;  those of us ready to waken, to be shown pathways to discover our own Personal Power and Healing.  Renewal and dedication are called for on this path.  The Earth, the Children, our People, all inhabitants of Earth await us.

Building energy and awareness in the Light Body (also known as the Ka or etheric body), is the path to greater awakening, illumination, and, in some traditions, the pathway to eternal life.  Through building of the Light Body, we awaken the higher brain centers which sponsor the greater powers of awareness known as the Siddhis.  We will be working with alchemical streams of consciousness to strengthen awareness and energy in the Light Body.  Some exercises may be conducted outside.
 

      Honoring Divine Mother
              with Zacciah

Honoring and embracing the Divine Feminine
within each of us, is a precious gift that nourishes and swells in our life, creating the impetus for dynamic action that brings manifestation.   By embracing that which is the universal womb within ourselves, we allow for the gestation, the rich cultivation of energies essential to creativity and growth.
We will call upon the essence of Divine Mother as we see her and seek to embrace and embody that essence more fully.  Regardless of gender, the healing and compassion generated by the creative aspect of our higher feminine self brings balance, and enriches and rewards us in our daily lives.

We will be calling upon Bear, and others, to assist us in journeying, through the Dreamlodge, to face those of our ancient past, who keep wisdom and knowledge of the ancient ways, til we are ready to access it.  We shall be meeting with those of our own blood lineage, the keepers of these sacred lands, the star beings, and others who gather from our most ancient times.  Come, and journey with us, to find our deeper personal wisdom, and ways to root our own innate being more deeply and firmly within ourselves.

warmth, and compassion, and strive to awaken our radiant being through alchemical practices & esoteric exercises, via Sacred Sound transmissions.  Zacciah  brings with him a warmth and radiance that he exudes through his work.  He will invite energies of various sacred cultures to assist us.

Initiation into the ChristHeart:
The Inner Teachings
Deeper Level Journeys into the Alchemy of Personal Consciousness:
Entering the Inner Sanctuary
We will be exploring further the awakening of these most subtle realms of being.
  Limited Enrollment, Pre-registration Requested

The Christ field of consciousness is an inherent aspect of the evolution of this Earth.  It is working with us all to further our personal and planetary evolution.  We all are part of this One Mind and One Heart, of which the Christ consciousness is a part.  As we learn to open our hearts, walk in a more receptive manner, we come to view the world and our relations in new Light.  A simple awareness allows us to be open and receptive to this in our daily lives and practice.  Working with sound and light energies, we will prepare ourselves to receive, and awaken, this deeper knowing into our own sacred being.

The deepest awareness comes when our heart is open and thriving.  Come and let us find that place of solitude and communion that allows us to safely and gently open to our most precious inner being, allowing us to venture into the world as whole and loving beings.  With the use of Sacred Sound, Zacciah will guide us into these deeper levels of awakening.

Sacred Sounds:  The Voice of Awakening, w/ Zacciah
A full day program in Sacred Sound Transmissions and the Art of Personal Transformation through Alchemical Studies,
 

The use of Sacred Sound comes in many formats throughout the world.  Come and explore with us its many tapestries as we work with voice, drum, flute, bowl and other instruments of Spirit with the use of Sacred Sound as a portal into deeper self exploration, greater dimensions of being and awareness, and transformation and integration into more complete or fulfilled spiritual/human beings.  This is also an excellent opportunity to be introduced to Zacciah's work.  Elements of workshops may be incorporated into these bi-monthly circles.  You do not need to play an instrument to participate.  Zacciah uses the voice of the instruments as doorways to other dimensions, or levels of awareness.

    Pre-registration requested, limited enrollment

This will create a foundation of understanding and experience to open us to further work with the mysteries of sacred sound in healing and transformation.

 A note on Sound Healing Training:  I am more than happy to help broaden your awareness in the community of sound healing, and explore deep and rewarding comprehension of the use of sound as a therapeutic tool, a connector to the divine realm, a vehicle for channeling light energies into the earth, our bodies and spirits.  Novice and practitioners will both gain from our sound healers training.  Please let me know your level of interest.  Though my work is always based on intuitive guidance, the more aware I am of the level of abilities and interests of participants in class, the easier and more potent the work becomes.  Moreso, we are all creators in the classroom.  What we are open to, what we are ready for, what we ask for, and what we bring to each other, all opens doorways we might not have otherwise perceived.  I am also working with those seeking assistance in their own path, in private studies, healing, or spiritual counselling.  Please speak with me by e-mail, mail or phone.
