In Person Workshop! How To Communicate with Saints, Ascended Masters, and Angels

Terry McGill and Micaela Lopez, Saturday, July 19,  11:30-3:30PM, $65


Have you had times when you felt the presence of a higher consciousness? Perhaps even sensed that a saint, Ascended Master, or Archangel was communicating with you? What if you could connect with them—ask for guidance or support? Do you want that?

At this workshop, you’ll learn more than the techniques. You’ll receive spiritual transmissions to build the spiritual energy necessary to open the Direct Soul Communication channel. You’ll be guided in this by two experienced teachers who are trained and certified by the Tao Academy.

You will learn about and experience:

● The power and significance of four major spiritual channels: Soul Language, Direct Soul Communication, Third Eye, and Direct Knowing
● How to open and develop your Soul Language Channel—the powerhouse of all the spiritual channels—and then open your Direct Soul Communication channel
● You’ll be immersed in the unique Tao Calligraphy Healing Field
● Included with registration: the Soul Communication book by the world-renowned healer and NY Times best-selling author, Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha

Receive the training and support you need to connect with holy beings and receive Divine guidance for your life.

Included with your registration are two Divine-level spiritual downloads. These powerful Light transmissions help clear negative patterns and subconscious blocks. This is your chance to move into a realm of higher awareness that most never experience — don’t miss it!

Terry McGill and Micaela Lopez have been certified by the Tao Academy to teach these workshops, as well as other certifications. Terry has held workshops at New Renaissance since 2009. Micaela guides spiritual seekers and offers Doula services in the Eugene–Springfield area.

In Person Event! Heart Chakra Focused Sound Bath 

Sydän Aguacielos and Anastasia Darkwater

Sunday, July 27, 11:30-12:45PM, Tickets Sliding Scale: $20-$35

Join Sydan Aguacielos and Anastasia Darkwater of Sound & Shadow Collective for a Reiki-infused, heart chakra-focused Immersive Sound Ritual.

Our sound rituals are a unique and interactive experience. We open with shamanic drumming and breathwork, before exploring our voices in collective OM’ing and vocal toning with a drone instrument called a shrutibox, we'll then ease you into an introspective crystal bowl meditation with the option for 1 on 1 energy healing. In closing, we guide you back with the shrutibox and om’ing, and finish with light somatic movement to balance and re-energize the body.

Gift yourself this hour to open your heart and absorb the healing frequencies.

Singing and humming is optional but encouraged. You don't have to be a great or even good singer to participate.This is not a performance. The voice heals the body by stimulating the vagus nerve, inducing relaxation and calm. Allowing yourself the freedom to hum or sing along increases your internal vibration and makes you an active participant in your healing journey.

Please bring your own nest and dress for warmth and comfort. Feel free to bring anything that may enhance this relaxation and connection experience like stuffies, crystals, cards, journals, etc.

Sound & Shadow Collective share the belief and understanding that deeply connecting to ourselves and each other from the heart promotes healing that reverberates throughout our communities, creating a better life experience for all. It starts with knowing and loving ourselves through heart-brain coherence. We offer private sessions on a sliding scale.

In Person Event! Through the "Shining Black Veil": A Jungian Approach to Emanuel Swedenborg's Dream Diary

Brandon James O'Neil, PhD, Sunday, August 31, 3:30-4:30PM, $25

 

Swedish scientist and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) has been called the Buddha of the North; he might also be called the first modern dreamer. Beginning in 1743, Swedenborg earnestly searched his vivid dreams for psychological and spiritual meaning, leading to his initiation into "heavenly secrets" in 1745. This lecture explores Swedenborg's dream diary through Jungian analytical psychology, tracing archetypal structures through what scholars identify as the longest and oldest series of dreams prior to the birth of modern psychology. Drawing from O'Neil's extensive experience in dream work, attendees will also gain useful insight into their own sometimes puzzling dreams, lifting what Swedenborg called the "shining black veil" that separates us from deeper levels of consciousness.

Brandon James O'Neil, PhD studied at The University of Iowa and is currently pursuing Dream Work Certification through The Haden Institute. He is a member of the C. G. Jung Foundation of New York, and his work has appeared in Psychological Perspectives, Image, and Quadrant: Journal Of The C. G. Jung Foundation.

In Person Event! Ayurvedic Secrets to Nurturing Resilience During Postpartum Recovery

Jaynie Farnsworth, Saturday, September 6, 11:30-1:30PM, $25
 
For expecting parents, new parents, postpartum caregivers (including grandparents), and birth workers.
The postpartum period can be overwhelming for women, who often serve as the emotional center of the home and, in some cases, the primary breadwinners. This pressure sends unconscious messages of "Get back at it; you can't afford to rest." However, we can’t afford not to rest. Evidence shows that intentional care and rituals honoring the significance of birth can reduce postpartum anxiety and depression.

Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to recovery, emphasizing nourishment for the body/mind and spirit. Key components include a diet of warm, easily digestible foods, prioritizing rest and warmth, and herbal remedies for hormonal balance. Practices like Abhyanga (self-oil massage), yoga, and meditation promote relaxation and stress relief.

Honoring the 40-day postpartum window allows for profound healing and transformation, setting a foundation for longevity. Participants will gain essential tools for a resilient postpartum recovery.

Jaynie Farnsworth, MA is a certified Ayurvedic Practitioner and Kundalini Yoga instructor. Her expertise consists of over 15 years of professional study in Yoga and Ayurveda. Jaynie’s passion for the healing arts brought her to Asia and Latin America. Being a swimmer, she brings an awareness of the body's healing abilities to her work.
