"Being in the soul, the body makes the senses thresholds of soul.  When your senses are open out to the world, the first presence they encounter is the presence of your soul.  To be sensual or sensuous is to be in the presence of your own soul....Your senses link you intimately with the divine within you and around you.  Attunement to the senses can limber up the stiffened belief and gentle the hardened outlook.  It can warm and heal the atrophied feelings that are the barriers exiling us from ourselves and separating us from each other.  Then we are no longer in exile from the wonderful harvest of divinity that is always secretly gathering within us."

-John O-Donohue, from Anam Cara

 Awakening the Creative Fire: Expressing the Dream of the Soul



Our beautiful Earth is going through a rebirth process.  The soul of the world, which is a reflection of our individual souls, is in transition.  As part of this process we are being called to liberate the beauty, power, passion, and grace that is within us.  The dreams of our individual souls, when liberated, are an infinite wellspring of energy that nourishes first ourselves, then overflows to nourish the soul of the world. 


In this five-day immersion in the energies of the Big Island of Hawaii we will nourish and revitalize the dreams of our hearts and souls through receiving, relaxing, surrendering, and simply allowing the natural expression of our beautiful hearts and souls to emerge.  The land will help us remember our inherent gifts, beauty, and creative power.  She will help us remember the peace that comes from letting go and being our true selves.  As facilitator I will assist through the use of shamanic practices and sound transmission. 


Each of us is a wellspring of beauty, creativity, joy, love, and bliss.  It is simply the nature of the soul.  Hawaii will help us remember and experience this.  And how beautiful is it that the best way to be of service in these times of change is to simply experience what our hearts have wanted all along?  We are here to realize the dreams of our hearts.  When we do, we change the world. 


The energies that will join us for this journey are powerful, beautiful, and so full of joy and grace my heart overflows whenever I tap into it.  I can't wait to share it with all of you!


If you are interested in Hawaii and want a place to start sooner, I highly recommend joining the Shamanic Sound Sessions: Dreaming in the New World Soul for those living in the Seattle area: Classes and Workshops.


I can do personalized recorded sessions for long-distant clients: Recorded Sound Sessions. 


In deep love and gratitude,

Melissa
