102 – Energy Awareness I: (Glenn Hartelius, Ph.D.)

Awaken Your Untapped Mind

12 CEU’s possible for therapists, social workers, and yoga teachers. More about CEU’s

This class teaches you how to manage your own mind in new and powerful ways. If other approaches to quieting your mind have failed, this workshop is for you. You will learn simple techniques to accomplish the following in less than one minute:

• Quiet the mind to create inner peace and stillness
• Create a clear, focused state of mind for concentrating on work or projects
• Manage your attention so you can stay in the present moment
• Cultivate your personal presence

Learning to manage your mind also opens new skills for dealing with others. You will learn how to:

• Listen deeply and effectively to others
• Invite others into a state of comfortable connection
• Create personal intimacy with others
• Consciously maintain healthy personal boundaries
• Protect yourself from unwanted energy from other people

These self-management skills are also the gateway to the world of healing. You will learn how to:

• Enter into a deeply relaxed self-healing state
• Sense subtle energies as qualities of presence
• Bring powerful healing energy to yourself and others in a clean and clear way

Skills are more useful when they come with ideas that help you to think in new ways. You will learn the following concepts:

• What the body-mind connection is really like
• How to understand the anatomy of the mind
• How to understand mindfulness as a simple inner posture
• How to go beyond mindfulness into practical inner postures for daily life
• Why we need a new kind of psychology to support healing and transformation

This work teaches you how to master your mind by managing your attention: the essence of your consciousness. You can work, relax, and connect with yourself and others more deeply by understanding the anatomy and dynamics of the body and mind, just as athletes learn to excel through an understanding of the structure of the physical body. During the workshop, you will participate in group and partner exercises designed to lead you to direct, tangible experiences of the skills that are presented. This is the first workshop in a series of self-development courses that also leads to professional certification in energy healing techniques.

This workshop fulfills the Energy Awareness course requirement for the Sacred Centers Certification Program. This class grounds the principle of Energy Healing and the chakras with potent and advanced techniques of clearing, opening, and balancing chakras, as well as energy hygiene for self-protection and more.

• The hidden chakras: Three major chakras that regulate body, mind, and soul
• How to distinguish the “aura” from the deep energy field

Energy Awareness III: Clearing Energy (Glenn Hartelius, Ph.D.)

18 CEU’s possible for therapists, social workers, and yoga teachers. More about CEU’s

Many traditional healing methods work with subtle energy, and advances in the scientific study of the nervous system make it possible to suggest how these fields might work. This workshop offers one of the steps necessary in order to understand energy work clearly, namely, an explanation and an experience of two different levels of the energy field. In addition, step-by-step techniques will be taught for how to expand your presence in a way that sharpens your energy skills, how to bring in energy in a clean and clear way, how to clear both levels of the energy field, how to remove unwanted signatures from the energy field, as well as how to work with the energy dynamics of the common cold.

Creative & Healing States of Consciousness

14 CEU’s possible for therapists, social workers, and yoga teachers. More about CEU’s

This course is an opportunity to explore states of consciousness, touching deep parts of your self to integrate them more fully into your life.

202 – Guiding the Journey (Selene Vega, Ph.D.)

Facilitating Transformative Experiences

30 CEU’s possible for therapists, social workers, and yoga teachers. More about CEU’s

Awakening self-awareness and opening to new perspectives creates profound potential for transformation. Unblocking the unconscious conditioning that has limited us, we can move creatively into our full potential. For therapists and teachers, the art of creating a context in which this can occur is essential. Using the tools of trance, movement, and ritual, and a structured framework for creating sacred space, you will learn to work deeply with students and clients in a contained and safe way. A balance between inner work and interactive experience provides opportunities to deepen your own process while you practice using these tools for yourself and others. Explore your inner terrain, touching neglected parts of yourself, as you deepen your understanding and ability to guide others into their inner experience.

• Learn to work with group energy, balancing attention to individuals and to the group experience

• Develop your ability to guide group and individual movement journeys and rituals for healing, growth, and celebration

• Gain understanding of the ethical considerations involved in teaching and leading workshops, and in working with non-ordinary states of consciousness

• Learn to assist students and clients in creating a bridge between their experiences in a workshop or therapeutic setting and everyday life

Recommended but not pre-requisites: 306 – Exploring Psyche & Soma: Creative & Healing States of Consciousness; the 7 or 9 day 103 – Psychology of the Chakras: Chakra Awakening; or previous familiarity with trance and hypnosis.

Dr. Anodea Judith

Anodea Judith, Ph.D. is the founder and director of Sacred Centers, and a groundbreaking thinker, writer, and spiritual teacher. Her passion for the realization of untapped human potential matches her concern for humanity’s impending crises — her fervent wish is that we “wake up in time.” She holds Masters and Doctoral degrees in Psychology and Human Health, is a 500 hour registered yoga teacher, with lifelong studies of healing, mythology, history, sociology, systems theory, and mystic spirituality. She is considered one of the country’s foremost experts on the combination of chakras and therapeutic issues and on the interpretation of the Chakra System for the Western lifestyle. She teaches across the U.S., Canada, Europe and Central America.

She is best known for the chakra classic, Wheels of Life: A User’s Guide to the Chakra System, (Llewellyn, 1987, revised 1999), an illustrated 435 page manual that has come to be considered the definitive work on the subject. With approximately, 200,000 U.S. copies sold and additional printings in 12 languages. A second book, co-authored with Selene Vega:The Sevenfold Journey: Reclaiming Mind, Body, and Spirit through the Chakras (Crossing Press, 1993, 289 pp.) arose out of the popular Nine-Month Chakra Intensive, taught by Judith and Vega for over two decades. Eastern Body, Western Mind: Psychology and the Chakra System as a Path to the Self, released by Celestial Arts in February 1997 charts childhood development, related difficulties and techniques for healing them, all within the chakra model and is a popular text in healing schools across the country. In March of 2000, she released a six-tape audio course called: The Chakra System: A Complete Course in Self-Diagnosis and Healing through Sounds True, Inc., followed by the popular boxed kit: Chakra Balancing. Her artistic expression combines with her mystic passion in her award winning DVD, The Illuminated Chakras, a co-creation with her son, artist and animator, Alex Wayne.

Her most recent book won two literary awards in 2007. Waking the Global Heart: Humanity’s Rite of Passage from the Love of Power to the Power of Love charts the history of human development into our present crisis and necessary transformation, with an inspiring message of hope for our future.

Anodea conducted a private healing practice in California for over 20 years, but traveling has taken her healing efforts into the workshop mode.

And finally, on the more personal level, Anodea Judith is a dynamic individual with many talents: teacher, healer, priestess, musician, artist, yogini, and co-heart. She is well-loved for her integration of mind, body, and spirit. She feels deeply concerned about the state of our world, in terms of ecology, ethics, politics, and religion. Feeling that individual and cultural transformation are intrinsically related, Anodea supports a path to empowerment and balance through teaching of life-affirming paths of wisdom. This is achieved through a reclamation of our bodies and minds, the environment, and our connection to both Heaven and Earth. She is a dynamic and experienced speaker, workshop presenter, and visionary, dedicated to healing our world and evolving human consciousness.

Clicking on the Register button will take you to our new Event Registration. You will fill out a short application/registration form so we can determine your workshop, lodging, and meal needs. It will calculate your costs according to the workshop(s) chosen and the number of nights lodging at your preference level. After you fill out the registration form, you can either pay in full or you can select “Pay by Check” if you would prefer to set up a payment plan. Someone from our office will call you to set up a payment schedule and get your credit card info. Of course you can pay by check with that option as well. Meals are based on arrival and departure time at Institute of Noetic Sciences, since some people wish to come early or stay later to have a quiet day of retreat.
