Fall 2008 - Family & Personal Development

A SHAMANIC JOURNEY
**NEW**
Over tens of thousands of years, our ancient ancestors all over the world discovered how to maximize human abilities of mind and spirit for healing and problem-solving. The remarkable system of methods they developed is today known as "shamanism," a term that comes from a Siberian tribal word for its practitioners: "shaman" (pronounced SHAH-mahn). Shamans are a type of medicine man or woman especially distinguished by the use of journeys to hidden worlds otherwise mainly known through myth, dream, and near-death experiences. Begin to learn bites and pieces of the Shamanic Ways as we explore the rites of Passage, Vision Quest, , Totem Animals, Feng Shui and the Medicine Wheel. Learn to connect with your soul and explore this ancient theory of life and happiness.

TRUE COLORS - PERSONALITY STYLES
Discovering your colors will be fun and exciting, and once you recognize the "True Colors" in yourself and in others, that awareness will become the key to success in your personal, professional and social activities.
