Saturday April 26 - Sunday April 27, 2008

We have lined up 7 extraordinary speakers for a jam-packed weekend on healing modalities that you can do as self-help exercises in your own home, to heal your stress, and re-energize your life.

We will offer a wide variety of techniques from ancient cultures of Asia and American Indian traditions, to newly discovered techniques from today’s leading edge healers and scientists, as well as some super-easy recommendations for rejuvenating your body.

Each of our speakers will give you the basics of their particular teaching and its principles, then have you practice the techniques in class, and send you home with plenty of practical things you can do for yourself and your family to enhance your health and well-being. This is a weekend you won’t want to miss!

Presentation Outlines and Speaker Bios:

June Haeme is a graduate of the Donna Eden Energy Medicine Certification Program. Her motto is “My health in my own hands,” so she dedicates herself to learning and practicing various healing techniques to keep herself healthy, happy and full of energy. She likes to share the knowledge she has gained because everyone can benefit from the techniques she teaches to promote health, healing and happiness in their own lives.

Donna Eden Energy Medicine teaches nine primary but interrelated energy systems: meridians, chakras, triple warmer, radiant circuits, celtic weave, the five rhythms, the aura, the electrics, and the basic grid. In this class, June will focus on basic energy testing for and performance of the Daily Energy Routine.

Our bodies are designed to heal themselves. When energy is flowing and in balance and harmony, our bodies maintain their health and can overcome illness. Stress, muscle constrictions, toxins and interfering energies inhibit or block the flow of energy. We can restore and maintain energetic flow by tapping, massaging, pinching, twisting or connecting specific energy points on the skin or tracing the hand along specific pathways. You will learn some great self-help techniques in this class. June can be reached at 815-253-6216.

1:00 - 3:00 Thought Field Therapy, offered by Patricia Murphy Carlson, MSW, LCSW

Patricia received her master’s degree in clinical social work from the University of Chicago and has trained in a number of modalities since, including Imago Relationship Therapy, Inner Child work, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), TFT (Thought Field Therapy), Psych-K and the Journey work of Brandon Bays. She is also a certified Parent Effectiveness and Teacher Effectiveness Training instructor. She has practiced counseling and therapy for over 25 years, working with individuals, groups, couples, children and families, and gives workshops for couples, teachers and counselors. She is currently in private practice which includes telephone counseling, and can be reached at 815-256-2257.

In this class, you will learn about some of the newer short-term therapies, how they were discovered, and how they can be used for emotional “first-aid” and the quick relief of longstanding emotional pain. As time and volunteers permit, I will demonstrate TFT, (tapping on meridian points for the collapse of perturbations in the thought-field), EMDR, (an eye movement therapy that integrates the right and left brain for quicker access and clearing of past trauma) and Dialogue for Healing and Growth, as well as touching on Psych-K and The Journey.

Renee says of herself, “I am not satisfied until I understand the “Principles of Things.” In my mid-20's I had some life experiences and healing situations that proved to me that reality has many layers of components under the apparent visible ones, that actually create the outcomes we experience. I seek to truly understand life and the causes of reality, as well as live life to the fullest that I am capable of.

Renee is currently writing a book on her extensive experience of The Healing Codes, and the principles that they represent. She has already completed an E-Book on the Easiest Way ever to quit smoking cigarettes. Many more writing projects will be forthcoming in the next year. Renee can be reached at 815-256-2273.

The purpose of the Healing Codes is to relieve stress in the body's nervous system. What makes this technique different than other teachings is that it not only gets static energy moving again, but it actually heals the 'pictures' or 'images' that are stressful to us. From earliest childhood, we have taken pictures of things around us with our mind’s eye, and those images have taken root in our nervous system and in the cells of our bodies. There are few, if any, other resources that can heal the meaning and distress of the images we are carrying with us. This is the final key to “Letting Go” of our built-up stress.

The program will give you the complete background on how The Healing Codes work. You will learn how all 9 systems within our bodies are affected by the Codes. You will experience giving yourself 2 Healing Code treatments. In addition, you will have materials to take home and use later.

Gina Allen is a Certified Trance Dance Facilitator and a licensed Massage Therapist. She lives in Stelle where she raises her two children, maintains a private practice, and of course, dances! Gina can be reached at 815-256-2312

For thousands of years spiritual dancing remained an integral part of how we maintained and enhanced our relationship to the earth. Dance was synonymous with what we would call prayer, a demonstration of reverence. To dance regularly promotes spiritual and physical health and vitality.

During Trance Dance we have the opportunity to enter direct experience. Using the aids of the rhythm, our breath, a blindfold, and our movement, not only do we dance ... we become the dance.

9:00 - 11:00 Energy Healing, offered by Argena Marie

1. AURA CLEANSING:
The clearing of your own electro-magnetic field can be valuable to assist you in trusting your own perceptions, making good choices, and identifying your energy as separate from others. Several options are given so that one’s energy can be maintained at a more optimal level.

2. ENERGY BATH:
This is a hands-off technique that is useful to help another person cleanse and lift their energy field.

3. LAYING ON OF HANDS:
This simple method gives a way to pass on “Universal” energy to another person to assist them in healing themselves.

11:15 - 1:30 Asian Healing Methods, offered by Bill Land

Alternative health techniques taught by ancient Buddhist and Taoist Masters have engaged Bill since 1994, when he was trained as a Chinese Feng Shui teacher. His early graduate training in Asian Studies led to a personal mentorship from the Dali Lama’s older brother at the Tibetan Cultural Center in Bloomington, In. With this background, Bill brings Asian health lessons that will work with other healing modalities to create a more balanced plan for wellness.

Some of the topics Bill Land will cover in his session include the Chinese Five Element theory and energy meridians, the Asian healing diet, and lessons from the Taoist approach to longevity. Some of the class work will involve hands on pressure points and breathing meditations to enhance a person’s internal Chi’ force and energy flow.

Dr. William Hammond, a multi-talented health professional, is a licensed chiropractor, teacher, and counselor. He has been a highly valued health resource here in Stelle for many years. Dr. Hammond can be reached at 815-715-3265.

In this class, Dr. Hammond will demonstrate the many uses of Kinesology. This built-in “Truth finder” is often called “Muscle Testing” and is the body’s reaction system to things that are good for it. The topic of kinesiology has become very popular with the publishing of Dr. David Hawkin’s book, Power vs. Force. Dr. Hammond has been using kinesiology in his practice for years, and will show us how to use it at home to test all of the elements that affect our lives, such as our environment, the food and vitamins we eat, our allergies, and even the decisions we make. You will find this a fascinating and most useful tool for your health and well-being.

You have the option of attending the full weekend workshop or your choice of either day.

Overnight lodging is available in the homes of Stelle residents at the rate of $45 single occupancy, or $55 double occupancy for Saturday night, or you can contact the Greenhouse Bed and Breakfast at 815-253-9020 or online at www.greenhousebed.com.
