Teaching Calendar

Unless specifically noted otherwise, all classes, workshops, and events are offered free of charge. We do graciously accept donations, but that's a gift from you, not a requirement from us.

And if you can't physically attend the class, we're also broadcasting the classes live over the Internet - also free of charge.

Past Lives and Reincarnation
The concepts of reincarnation, it's acceptance in numerous world religions (including early Christianity), and how past and future lives can influence everything from your health to your spiritual path. We'll also be doing at least one exercise to help you connect with your past lives.

The Hidden Bible
What if modern Christianity took a wrong turn? What if the Bible described a mystical path, filled with power and saturated with joy and love? We'll take an alternative look at the Scriptures from a layman's perspective, applying mystical principles, considering heretical texts, and asking ourselves if there is simply much, much more to the Bible than we all think we know.

Herbal Cures and Charms
Bri and Jeffrey join together as a third generation herbalist and practicing shaman to demonstrate techniques, principles, and recipes involving herbs and their properties. We'll look at how shaman's connect with the spirit of the plant in their work, how aromatic herbs are used in meditation and shamanic journeying, and how a shaman uses herbs to heal. Bri will alternate with Jeffrey, demonstrating simple herbal remedies and cures that you can make in your own kitchen.

The Secret to Miracles
Most of us know the story of Jesus and how he healed those who came his way. But how did he work those miracles? And can we use the mystical techniques and principles that are demonstrated in the Gospel of Mark to learn to work miracles ourselves? And how do the mechanics of what Jesus did in the Gospel of Mark overlap with what is taught in traditional Tibetan mysticism? Join us as we step beyond the dogma to explore an amazing, mystical path - not dependent on any religion - that has been clearly laid out for us.

Personal Ritual
If you're preparing for a meeting at work, a magickal gathering with your Circle, or simply making a cup of morning coffee, you're engaging in ritual. Rituals abound throughout our daily life and are often taken for granted. In this class, we'll consider the elements or ritual, how to create and empower your own rituals, and we'll learn how faint the line really is between the magickal and mundane.

Deep Symbolism
The power of symbolic images and links as they apply to spiritual and personal growth, ritual, magickal workings, and psychic abilities. We'll explore the concept of deep symbolism and look at specific examples of how these symbols shape our spiritual and mundane paths. By the end of class, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of deep symbolism as well as the tools to create and empower your own symbols.

The Shaman's World View
Join us as Jeffrey, a trained and practicing shaman, shares secrets and perspectives that aren't traditionally offered to the public to illuminate the inner workings of a shaman's path. A shaman sees the world from an inside-out perspective. Rather than approaching things from one of material and cause and effective, a shaman approaches things from a spiritual perspective, looking at the moment from a holistic perspective that encompasses not just the present event, but it's past and future, as well as the people, spirits, and soul-growth involved in that moment. This approach is useful, not just to gain a deeper understanding of mystical spirituality, but can be used for everything from problem solving to deepening one's relationships and gaining understanding to the events and interactions in one's life.

In My Tribe
Our culture is desperately out of balance. From a shamanic perspective, greed is an illness, not a path. Unfortunately, greed has infiltrated every portion of our culture, from economics to relationships. Instead of pointing out everything that is wrong, we'll be looking at how to set things right and what we can do as individuals to completely transform our personal lives and how this process of change will spiral out once it's begun with us.

Surviving Empathy
How do you weather the emotional storms around you? Is there a path you can navigate to put everything in perspective? In this class, we'll be exploring a process of finding your own center, of learning to compassionately respond to those around you from a place of strength and love, and how to let go of the stress and allow the turmoil to flow by you without knocking you off course.

Relationships: Lessons, Love and Spirit
It's time to put relationships in perspective. There simply is no greater (or more challenging) portion of our journey in regards to personal growth and development. Relationships push every button, poke every chink in our armor, and tend to drive us crazy. So how do we embrace the love and create something beautiful? And, if we're not in relationship, how do we prepare ourselves to fully engage in relationship?

How to Heal
This class is not for the faint of heart. A very long time ago, one of my teachers taught me, "You can't learn to heal until you first learn to harm." For the first time, Jeffrey will be teaching this process. The core process is fairly simple. First, you must understand how the wound was caused and understand the systems that are damaged and how they are disrupted by the injury. Second, you must find a path to repair those systems that is unique, not only to the injury, but to the individual. We'll be tackling this process head-on in our 90-minute class.

2012
Theories abound over what will happen on December 21, 2012. It is believed that numerous prophesies from around the globe point to events on this date. Sorting through the prophesy and theory, including insider perspective from how one Native American People approached their prophesy, we'll be looking at the phenomena of 2012, not only what will happen, but what will take place beyond that date.

All About You
We often hear, "You're a spiritual being experiencing reality from a physical perspective." Most of us can imagine what that must be like, knowing that we have a soul or spirit and believing that there is some form of existence beyond the physical incarnation. If we truly are spiritual beings, what does that mean? In this class we'll look at the intersection of our limitless potential and our self-imposed limitations, how we experience life as a spiritual being (as well as how we block it out to maintain the illusion of the physical and how to remove those blocks), and the concepts of interpersonal energy, how it allows us to interact with others and the implications of simultaneously being an individual and connected with all of reality. We are each a unique expression of the divine - here's a peek at what that means.

What Happens When We Die?
Rather than insisting that we know for certain what happens when we die, we're going to look at several leading theories from spending eternity in Heaven to reincarnation. Each theory is represented by a system of religious belief and we'll discuss the unspoken message that each religion offers through their perspective of an afterlife. We'll consider the strengths and weaknesses behind each theory and consider the implications that each holds if it in fact was an accurate reflection of what truly happens when we die. But more importantly, as we consider each theory, we'll also ask, "If this theory holds true, how does it change how we live?"

The Insider's Guide to Spiritual Living
There are natural laws that govern physical reality (for instance, gravity), but what principles apply to living a spiritual path? Join us as we consider core principles, applications, and the insights offered by simple spiritual guidelines that order everything from our physical health to relationships to personal growth.

Little Rituals Everywhere
Life is not only made up of a series of rituals, but these rituals empower, order, and in many cases, lay the groundwork for what is to come in our lives and on our paths. We'll be looking at ritual in a way that you may have never considered, exploring how it is instilled in the core moments of our world, how to recognize our personal rituals and utilize them for our own empowerment and growth.

The Art of War in Daily Life
In the 6th century BCE, a military treatise was written that governed all aspects of warfare called, "The Art of War." We will be looking at each of the thirteen aspects of warfare covered in the book and discuss how each is useful in everything from business to spirituality. We'll also be discussing the nature of the Warrior Spirit and how it is found (and often undernourished) in each of us - male and female alike.

It's Stupid Money but You're Not Stupid
Why do we use money? Where did it come from? Why do we never seem to have enough of it? How does it relate to spirituality? Are there alternatives to using money? What energetic groundwork does the concept of money lay and reinforce in our minds and on our paths? How does money fit in with the concept of Tribe? When do we know it's appropriate to give? Where is the line between caution and greed? Why do we teach all of our classes for free? If any of these questions (there are many more) makes you think, then join us as we explore each of these and discover the true story behind the cornerstone of the Western world.

Ribbons of Light and Darkness
If you've been looking for a class in "advanced" spirituality, this is it! We'll be looking at the mechanics of spiritual reality in much the same way that a physicist describes the mechanism of the physical world. If you've ever wondered about the "how" and "why" of spirituality or what it truly means to be a spiritual being, then this class is for you. The material is right on the edge of where Jeffrey has been working and exploring this August and it will be a significant leap ahead of the lessons we've been looking at in class up to this point.

The Three Stages of Life
Each part of our life - from a simple endeavor, to a new skill, to our life itself - can be broken into three stages. Each of these stages offers self-contained wisdom and reveals the lessons to be found in simple daily tasks. The concepts not only illuminate many of the challenges we face, but they also reveal the direction for us to take and often the answers to our questions.

SEX!!!
No, it's not a marketing gimmick. We're actually going to be looking at sex - healthy, vibrant, whole, connected sex. If things flowed the way they're intended, spiritual people would be some of the most sexual people around. Why? You'll have to attend class to find out! It's time that sex became a healthy, happy, vibrant, connective process where we are fully open to the wonders that it truly holds.

The Game of Life
Life is a game. Seriously. You can play every day through almost any situation and laugh while completing almost any task. Why don't we? Tune in and we'll not only explain why we don't but we'll teach you how you can do so. Nothing quite like adding a little more joy to your world... :)

Spiritual English for Beginners
We talk all the time, but do we really intend to say what we say? Our words are a beautiful reflection of our emotional space, our preconceived ideas and prejudices, even our hopes and wants for ourselves and other people. In this class we'll be learning not only how to speak but how to hear - and we guarantee you'll have a completely different view of conversations by the end of the class.
