Shaman Eileen O’Hare is offering a new intensive workshop, Unwinding the Mind, Healing the Soul, that combines current neuroscience and indigenous spiritual techniques to help people rid themselves and others of self-defeating patterns that prevent positive change.
            “If you’re called to do deep healing work on yourself or others, this training is invaluable,” O’Hare says. “Nature and neuroscience are powerful collaborators. We create deep and meaningful alliances with the world of living energies around and within us to fuel our moving forward in life.”
    Through this course, participants will become aware of thoughts, feelings and actions that hold them hostage to destructive patterns, and then call on spiritual energies to help them shift. They will work with the five elements, the four directions and the three worlds; journeying; ritual; ceremony; deep personal work; chanting, drumming and dancing; trips to local sacred sites; excursions to local river and mountain spirits; and “processing with lots of love, support and laughter,” O’Hare says. 
    The intensive will be offered twice: October 26 and 27, and again November 9 and 10. All sessions run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. This course is a prerequisite for an upcoming yearlong course that will be held the third Saturday of every month, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., from January through December 2020. Introductory course participants who pay in full by October 1 will receive a 10 percent discount.
