Pyradym^TM uses the combined healing modalities of low frequency sound, colored light, physioacoustic vibration, as well as Sacred Geometry and crystals, to produce an altered state of awareness and connection to Source.

August Worley uses his abilities as a Reiki Master and intuitive counselor along with his patented and FDA-approved Pyradym^TM Technology to channel a personal sound and vibrational healing Experience. Working with your guides and your intention, August uses Pyradym^TM to promote emotional and spiritual growth, to provide an energetic clearing and shifting, and to assist you with your desired manifestation.

Pyradym^TM:

• Clears blockages in chakras,
• Boosts the immune system,
• Promotes deep tension relief,
• Alleviates or greatly lessens pain,
• Promotes emotional/spiritual healing and growth, and
• Helps you achieve a deep meditative awareness .

Systemic Family Constellations is a cutting edge group process which allows each participant to recover aspects of themselves while assisting others to resolve deeply seated family and ancestral enmeshments. At birth and out of unconditional love, we take on the unresolved suffering and dysfunction of our family matrix which cannot be seen, felt or articulated until we do a family constellation. The constellation process reveals all that was hidden and unspoken within the family matrix and allows resolution to happen through protocols of the soul. The whole process is both amazing and in Divine Order. The presence of the ancestors is tangible and grows deeper throughout the day.

Michael Young facilitates personal healing through hands on work within the human energy field, the Tree of Life, shamanism and now with groups through Systemic Family Constellations. Included in his private practice is a bioenergetic medicine component utilizing nutraceuticals, herbs and homeopathics to facilitate the body's healing process on the cellular level. He is a graduate of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, A Society of Souls School of Integrated Kabbalistic Healing, the Center for Intentional Living, and The New England School of Acupuncture.

A typical session lasts 20, 40 or 60 minutes. The first few minutes are spent with the client speaking about whatever is coming up for her/him. Through reading the client's aura, observing the body, and receiving spiritual intuition, Jeremy works to identify the underlying issues behind the symptoms presented. From here you move to the massage table where through specific hand placement and transmission of energy, Jeremy works with the body's Auric energy field to address the present issues. Additional information and clarity is found through the body work.

Jeremy Poore is an Energy Healer and Spiritual Counselor currently practicing in Asheville. He provides hands-on work with the body's energy field combined with intuitive counseling to restore balance. The energy field is our most basic tool, one that pre-exists the physical body. When we address issues from this core level, we can more easily go about the process of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing.

Jeremy is a graduate and currently an Assistant Teacher at the Circle of the Heart School of Wholeness, a three-year school directed by Michael Young. He brings counseling experience from four years working with At Risk Adolescents in 24 hour therapeutic wilderness care. He has traveled and studied philosophy, religion and healing in Japan, Venezuela, and Ecuador. Jeremy uses Auric Energy Work, Kabbalistic Healing, Shamanism, and Spiritual Counseling to work through patterns, physical ailment, trauma, ancestry, emotional stagnation and the general issue of feeling stuck.

Diotima is an eclectic Witch, astrologer, tarot reader, and avid gardener. She has been blessed by Bast with four wonderful cats, and lives with them in the Asheville, NC area.
Born and raised in New York City, she planned from an early age to flee the city for the farm, and so majored in Agronomy (the study of crops and soils) in college and grad school. But her life was guided in unexpected directions, and after leaving school she went on to work in fields far from any farm, including a 7-year stint as the owner of a Pagan bookstore.
She now has a business that has allowed her to fulfill her childhood dreams, working out of her home as a virtual assistant, marketing consultant and freelance writer. She lives on two acres in Western North Carolina where she puts both her scientific and magickal knowledge to work caring for a small piece of our beautiful planet.
Fascinated by the dialogue between science and religion, a conversation fueled by discoveries in quantum physics that stretch the boundaries of belief, she feels that the Pagan worldview, especially our view of magick, will become more and more instrumental in shaping that dialog as our religion (s) mature. She sees the dawn of a new paradigm, where science and metaphysics become allies instead of adversaries.

7:00 pm

Advanced Reiki Training includes advanced Reiki Techniques as well as any needed review from Reiki 1&2.  It is a prerequisite for the Reiki Master Class.

Pam and Don McMahon use manuals and teaching guidelines from the International Center for Reiki Training where they received their Mastership from William L. Rand, Laurelle Shanti Gaia, and Michael Baird.

Reiki (Ray-kee) is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

Reiki increases the flow of “life force energy”.

Raise your vitality, intuition and vibration with easy to learn, easy to use soul skills. Restore deep peace and feed your soul, as you jump start or renew your growth on your own spiritual path.

Our Soul-Spirit can be forgotten in the every day rush. When we lose connection with our souls, we become dispirited and may feel dis-ease. As symbols for the spiritual currents in our life, the Serpent represents our soul which sheds its skin and is reborn in higher knowledge, while the swan represents Divine Grace and our spiritual gifts. Using simple tools we can connect deeply within and weave a joyful, ensouled life.

In this half day retreat you will be introduced to self-healing and ways of self-remembrance using sound, light, color, laughter, and Nature’s grace--aura healing, Serpentfire Songs, and Swanstar Essences from flowers and sacred sites. Take-home practices strengthen your connection to the Divine within. Free your voice, your mind, your heart, and your hands to be One.

And when Carol and Ellen work together, there is always a surprise or two from Spirit.

Ellen Wachs, author, chantress, anthropologist, has worked as a professional vibrational healer, intuitive guide and teacher for over twenty years. Her lifelong investigation of conscious evolution has convinced her that we can develop abilities that were once thought to be limited to the Divine. She has taught thousands to use her practical empowerment methods to remember the Divine within. Internationally known as the guardian of Swanstar and Lightwater Essences, Ellen is the founder of All One Peace, Nature’s Wisdom School in Naples, FL. See more at www.AllOnePeace.com
