Nov 4, 2021 7 - 8:30pm	Drum Circle at Open Doors	Braintree, MA
Drum Circle Drumming is truly a call to Spirit. In its simplest form, drumming is a great stress reliever and method for relaxation but did you know this mediator of time and space also cleanses the aura and balances the chakras? The pulsing beat of the drum anchors the body and connects you deeply to your own internal rhythms, stilling the mind as it gets you out of your head and into your own sacred space. It beckons you to listen as it brings you down to earth and then transports you from the mundane into the non-ordinary. We begin by creating a sacred circle and invite in all the good medicine reflections of the group. The drumming becomes a powerful tool to assist on our healing journeys as these sound currents help dislodge any stuck energies, patterns or emotions - both personal and collective. When we set intentions and gather in a sacred circle to drum, we create a powerful cohesive spiritual community whose possibilities for healing and change move well beyond the scope of ordinary. There are perhaps as many different drum circles as there are drummers and drums. My guidance on how to present this offering came to me in a vision. So regardless of whether you are a first timer or experienced drummer, come on out and join us tonight as we step into these healing harmonies. Feel free to bring your own drums, rattles, bowls, or bells as we embrace the rhythm that connects us all within this ancient healing practice. We will have a few extra drums and rattles on hand. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated! The gathering begins at 6:45 so we can begin drumming at 7pm. Pre-registration is recommended as space is limited to 12 seekers. Energy exchange is $20 in advance of 5 days/$35 day of. Call 781 843 8224 or visit online www.opendoors7.com to register.

Did you know that drumming is a great stress reliever and even cleanses the aura and balances the chakras?! The pulsing beat of the drum anchors the body and connects you deeply to your own internal rhythms, stilling the mind as it gets you out of your head and into your own sacred space.

This 12 week session delivered in your email begins September 20, 2021 in the WEST quadrant of the Medicine Wheel which signals the start of Autumn and is home of the BEAR who reminds us the importance of going within. Each Monday I’ll send you an email with the weekly practice that is full of ancient wisdom, shamanic teachings, personal insight, “spirit food for thought”, music and book suggestions as well as a distantly guided shamanic journey option/suggestion. Each season offers a different power animal to assist and guide us through the next 12 weeks.

2021 - Happy New Year~!! January offers us a doorway into the new year, one that opens to all the possibility your intentions and dreams can possibly muster. We'd love to have you join us as we continue on our "Journey Around the Medicine Wheel" where we are guided by the metaphysical wisdom of the Snowy Owl as we traverse non-ordinary and extra-ordinary realities to meet guides, receive healing and insight to assist us on our earthly journey. Today we start Week 3 in the NORTH, or Winter on the Medicine Wheel. You may step in at any time, and it's not too late to catch up and experience this wisdom from the comfort of your own home! There are no zoom meetings, no homework to turn in, only you and your journal and the bridge of imagination that leads you to these extraordinary places designed unique unto you. I'll send a weekly practice full of insight, teachings and journey options to your email, all you need do is look for the spiritual reflections calling to you now. We offer Gratitude to BEAR for his guidance and journeys through the WEST and to SNOWY OWL who continues to guide us and inspire in the journeys ahead. *~~ Journey Around the Medicine Wheel A Year long Shamanic Journey done via email You may try it out for four weeks or sign up for all 12 as we Journey with SNOWY OWL through the NORTH quadrant of the Medicine Wheel. ~~* The Winter Solstice marks a turning of the Great Medicine Wheel of Life which will soon position us in the NORTH, place of the SNOWY OWL and a reminder that it is time to look to the stars; home of our Ancestors, Star Nations and Dream time! It is here that we go deeper into the shamanic journey seeking wisdom and guidance from our guides and power animals. This One Year Shamanic Journey Around the Medicine Wheel began on September 28, when the Western Gate doors opened and welcomed us back into the CAVE of the BEAR. There are 12 weeks or 3 months in each Season or Direction. You may sign up for one month or all 3, you may step in or out at anytime. Once registered and beginning on Monday, December 21, I will send you the practice for the week, which is geared to assisting you on your journey. The trail is long and our journeys vary, so no matter where you are at this moment in time, either physically or spiritually, you may step in and progress in your own time and space. There is no "homework" to be turned in, as your process and your deep inner work is for your eyes only. At the end of each month, you will have an opportunity to connect and share your experiences thus far. My investment is to offer you a reflection of spiritual teachings and lessons that I have gathered along the way in the hopes they may assist you with your journey as well. Each week you will receive new Spirit Food for Thought, Shamanic practices and Journey and Music suggestions as well as a plethora of Wisdom and spiritual reflection gleaned from many sources. Though we have all been in our caves for months, now is the time to Harvest and Sow what is working and carry that forward; leaving behind all that does not serve for transformation and healing.

Sep 17, 2020 10am-4pm	Intro to Shamanism, Power Animals and the Shamanic Journey	395 Washington St Braintree, MA
Intro to Shamanism, Power Animals and the Shamanic Journey This one day experiential offering introduces the seeker to a journey of their soul by way of the shamanic journey; a drug free altered state of awareness that adds powerful “good medicine” to our spiritual toolbox. If you are hearing the ‘calling’, come on out and join us today as we walk through the shaman’s door where healing, self - awareness and authentic spiritual guidance is found. During the course of the day, we will come to understand the “story” of Shamanism and how this shift in consciousness is a practice that anyone can learn. I drum for you, as you learn to “ride the vibrations” of the drum in a meditative like state where you experience firsthand, this non-ordinary reality that connects (or re-connects) you with your power animals and spirit guides. Imagination is the bridge that connects us as we dare to explore and seek the deeper meanings of messages and shamanic healing from these alternate realms. *When we “acknowledge” our helping spirits, we “access their knowledge”* The Hopi elders say “WE are the Ones we’ve been waiting for” – so what are you waiting for? Now more than ever the year 2020 is calling us to discern a more “perfect vision”. As we intentionally step onto our Sacred Path, we awaken our higher self who instinctively trusts this inner knowing, gleaned in the sacred dreams and visions of walking in both worlds. “The reason we need spiritual teachers is because the eye cannot see itself, it needs a reflection” By the end of the day you will have experienced three journeys and have the understanding of how to navigate these non-ordinary realities on your own. Detailed instructional handouts are included. If you are searching for what is next or looking for reflections of what your soul's purpose may be, then this introductory shamanic offering is for you! No experience necessary. Class size is limited to 4 seekers to allow for social distancing, so please register soon if interested! Fee $150 ~*~ Please register online at Open Doors website by scrolling down to October 17 date or by calling them at 781 843 8224. https://www.opendoors7.com/class-calendar
May 17, 2020 8am - 12noon	Nantasket Beach Hotel Resort	45 Hull Shore Drive Hull, MA
Sunday Morning Wellness Series *~~ Join us for this inaugural monthly event at Hull's newly renovated Nantasket Beach Hotel!** Facilitated by two local women Grace Walsh (Earthen Spirit) & Deb Ogden (Laughing Water Designs) ~~ Now more than ever the importance of “self-care” is on all our minds yet many don’t know quite where to begin or realize we have the ability to practice wellness techniques on our own. We are what we think! Did you know that our conscious focus has the ability to transform every negative influence into a higher manifestion? Whether you are seeking a new inspirational practice or ready to infuse your daily routine, this Sunday morning Wellness Series is geared to help you clear what no longer serves you and powerfully set and move your intentions into manifest mode. This four hour wellness gathering* presents an opportunity to come unplugged from the "ordinary reality" that we live in; in doing so, we naturally experience a fresh perspective as we view our world through a more "non-ordinary" lens. In these changing times, we too much recognize a time to change up our practices. This wellness workshop assists us in finding new ways to transform negative energy influences in a positive, safe environment as we tap into the wisdom of higher vibrational frequencies. When we come together as a group, we also raise this vibration collectively. Some of the morning's heart centered offerings include intention setting, sound and guided meditations and a nature walk/experiential practice. Wisdom is weaved from a variety of reflections as we culminate the day with a tangible art journaling exercise designed to ground those intentions and take a step forward to manifesting our highest dreams. The Hopi elders say "WE are the ones we've been waiting for"; so what are you waiting for? Take advantage of this non-ordinary offering to come unplugged for a few hours on the beautiful shores of Nantasket Beach and re-fill your cup with some timely spirit food for thought. Perhaps you may even wish to book a room and stay the night! Options may be available to block rooms if reserved early enough. ... Energy Exchange $95 Pre-registration is required. Please contact Deb or Grace by May 1^st to reserve your spot. ... Contact info: Grace Walsh gpwalsh@comcast.net 781 608 8020 *~~ Deb Ogden oggci@yahoo.com 781 405 1076 ~~*
May 9, 2020 10am-4pm	Mattapoisett Wellness Center	76 County Road Mattapoisett, MA
Intro to Shamanism, Power Animals and the Shamanic Journey This one day experiential offering introduces the seeker to a journey of their soul by way of the shamanic journey; a drug free altered state of awareness that is a powerful tool used for healing, self-awareness and spiritual guidance in our daily lives. If you are searching for what is next or looking for reflections of what your soul's purpose may be, then this introductory shamanic offering is for you! Shamanic Journeying is not a religion, rather a spiritual out of body experience that opens the doorway to non-ordinary realities where spiritual teachers and power (totem) animals can be found. The experience paints a spiritual landscape that is not only unique to us, but has been traveled and shared collectively by shaman and medicine people around the world for thousands of years. During the course of the day, we will come to understand the "what, when, where, who's and how's" of Shamanism and how this shift in consciousness is a practice that anyone can learn. You will "journey" three times as I drum for you, while learning to 'ride the vibrations of the drum' in a meditative like state where you experience firsthand, this non-ordinary reality that connects (or re-connects) you with your power animals and spirit guides as well as receive a healing from the higher realms. All one really needs to do is “acknowledge” these shamanic helpers, to “access their knowledge”. The Hopi elders say “WE are the ones we’ve been waiting for” – so what are we waiting for?? If you ponder that our physical body is just a temporary experience, and our spiritual essence (soul energy) continues to live on long after we drop our fleshly clothes, then perhaps the time has come to shift our awareness to what these pathways of our spiritual journey really means. Location: Mattapoisett Wellness Center What to bring: Please bring your journal or notebook, light snack, lunch (or option to buy), water bottle and a pair of warm socks!!

The Soul's Journey and Journal Workshop My friend and colleague Deb Ogden (Laughing Water Designs) and I are excited to announce a new monthly offering called "The Soul's Journey and Journal Workshop". This monthly spirit oriented workshop is designed to help you gather insight and guidance from a myriad of cosmic support including tarot cards, the calendar, numbers, moons, zodiac, the medicine wheel and more.

Oct 5, 2019 9am-6pm	"Shamanic Helpers" Workshop
"Shamanic Helpers" Workshop Those of us who view the world through shamanic eyes know that everything in nature has a SPIRIT. This workshop introduces (or re-introduces) you to the many shamanic helpers who are ready to assist us on our Earthly Journey. This day long program invites us to ponder the deeper meanings of life around us…when we “acknowledge” these shamanic helpers, we can “access their knowledge”. Created and derived from my own ceremonial practice over the years, included are teachings from: The Winged Ones – our feathered friends The Stone People – rock divination Plant People/Standing Ones – sacred herbs and smudge/tree wisdom Power Animals – our totem helpers Rattles and Drums – the power of vibration Medicine Wheel – the power of direction Creating Sacred Space and Ceremony - Bringing it all together into your spiritual toolbox to create every day sacred space as well as personal and/or group ceremony We close with a group gratitude ceremony that we create together, by integrating this practical knowledge from our newly refreshed spiritual toolbox thereby creating a collective, sacred space. *~~ No Experience Necessary! Please bring a baseball/grapefruit sized rock, one that can be returned to nature when the class is finished. Do not bring a favorite, household item or stone that already has meaning to you. The best way to 'find' your rock is to take a walk outside, anywhere in nature. While you are walking, imagine there is a rock waiting somewhere just for you. As you walk, offer a little gratitude for this rock to show itself to you. When you approach anything of this nature in a 'good' way, it will appear. As you pick it up, hold it in your hands for a few moments, asking if this rock is meant for you. See if you can notice any sensations in your mind or hands as you do this. Do not examine it or think too much about if it 'looks' right, only that it 'feels' right. Feel free to bring your drum and/or rattle if you have one. Bring a water bottle and a notebook or journal to write in. (Catered Lunch/beverages is included) .......

The pulsing beat of the drum anchors the body and connects you deeply to your own internal rhythms, stilling the mind as it gets you out of your head and into your own sacred space. It beckons you to listen as it brings you down to earth and then transports you from the mundane into the non-ordinary. We begin by creating a sacred circle and invite in all the good medicine reflections of the group. The drumming becomes a powerful tool to assist on our healing journeys as these sound currents help dislodge any stuck energies, patterns or emotions - both personal and collective. When we set intentions and gather in a sacred circle to drum, we create a powerful cohesive spiritual community whose possibilities for healing and change move well beyond the scope of ordinary. There are perhaps as many different drum circles as there are drummers and drums. My guidance on how to present this offering came to me in a vision. So regardless of whether you are a first timer or experienced drummer, come on out and join us tonight as we step into these healing harmonies. Feel free to bring your own drums, rattles, bowls, or bells as we embrace the rhythm that connects us all within this ancient healing practice. We will have a few extra drums and rattles on hand. Warm socks suggested and a water bottle to stay hydrated! The gathering begins at 6:30 so we can begin drumming at 7pm. $15 when you pre-register (highly recommended as space is limited to 12 seekers) - $25 the day of Call 781 843 8224 or visit online www.opendoors7.com Location: Open Doors Metaphysical Learning Center 395 Washington Street Braintree, MA ~*~
Mar 30, 2019 10am-4pm	Shamanic Journeying Level II	395 Washington Street Braintree, MA
Shamanic Journeying Level II Pre-req Intro to Shamanism, Power Animals and the Shamanic Journey This intermediate workshop is being offered to those who are already comfortable with shamanic journeying and ready to go deeper into these non-ordinary experiences where we will expand on techniques learned in the Level I class (which is a pre-requisite for this program! If you are new to shamanic journeying, please see the Intro class/April 20 offering!) During the course of the day we will journey for each other to retrieve power animals and gain insight from the many shamanic helpers of the plant and stone spirit kingdoms as well. Intuition and divination go hand in hand in non-ordinary reality. When we interpret the symbolism found in our shared journeys, we assist others with reflective knowledge from our many helping spirits, and we have many! Thankfully we do not have to navigate this earthly realm alone, but we must first ‘acknowledge’ these helpers so we can better ‘access their knowledge’. We close the day with a “spirit canoe” group journey that brings all of our helping spirit energies together as one unified group on a collective mission with a single healing intention. Please bring your lunch, a light snack, water bottle, a pair of warm socks, blanket and pillow, bandana or eye cover and a notebook or journal to record your experiences - as well as an open mind and willingness to learn and share! Workshop fee $125 Location - Open Doors Metaphysical Book and Learning Store 395 Washington St., Braintree, MA Please call Open Doors to pre-register at 781 843 8224 or online at www.opendoors7.com ~*~

Oct 12, 2018 7 - 9 pm	The Medicine Wheel Workshop and Tarot Spread	66 Wharf St Salem, MA
The Medicine Wheel Workshop and Tarot card spread Space is limited to 8 seekers, please click here to register! http://www.circleofstitches.com/classes/medicinewheel There is no time like the present to seek the deeper meanings of situations and events happening in our lives; and yet there is a voice within each of us that already knows the correct answers and speaks them. Join us tonight for this fun workshop which combines two ancient divination traditions. ~~ The Medicine Wheel can be viewed as an ancient cosmic template or evolutionary blueprint; also known as the Sacred Hoop, it brings to our spiritual toolbox the Power of Direction. The tarot cards offer us a reflection of life’s karmic and spiritual lessons. The imagery and symbolism offer a mirror to the meaningful soul lessons that we have come here to learn. When combined, a medicine wheel spread becomes a powerful tool to assist us on our spiritual journey simply because the eye cannot see itself; it needs a reflection. Based on the Native American Medicine Wheel, we use this template to tap into the energies of the Four Directions to help guide and assist with healing, harmony and wholeness. Whether you have a specific question in mind or just searching for a new perspective on life, this spirit minded reading will offer insight and assist you in tapping into the truth that already lives inside you. In the circle of life, there are many lessons on the path to knowledge, self- knowledge. The Medicine Wheel is a path to help awaken this knowledge. Once we recognize that life has a pattern and that we are not separate from it, yet an integral part of it, we can align with these seasonal energies as such. This is what working with the Medicine Wheel is all about. When we tune in, our spirit becomes inspired and this opens the way for our higher truths to unveil. Why is this important? When we anchor ourselves in our highest truth we can step aside from the craziness of everyday life. Only when we are willing to break out of old patterns and habits can we make way for new energies to come pouring in. Please bring a notebook or journal and your favorite tarot or oracle deck. Extra decks may be available for those who may not yet have one. ~~ Location: Circle of Stitches, 66 Wharf St, Salem MA Workshop fee $45
Sep 29, 2018 10am-4pm	Shamanic Helpers Workshop Intensive	Salem, MA
"Shamanic Helpers" Workshop Intensive This one day workshop is limited to 6 seekers and is being hosted in Salem MA at the home of Ana Campos, owner of Circle of Stitches - to register please follow this link: http://www.ana-campos.com/readings/shamanic-helpers-intensive-workshop-with-grace-walsh Those of us who view the world through shamanic eyes know that everything in nature has a SPIRIT. This workshop introduces (or re-introduces) you to the many shamanic helpers who are ready to assist us on our Earthly Journey. This day long program invites us to ponder the deeper meanings of life around us…when we “acknowledge” these shamanic helpers, we can “access their knowledge”. Created and derived from my own ceremonial practice over the years, included are teachings from: The Winged Ones – our feathered friends The Stone People – rock divination Plant People/Standing Ones – sacred herbs and smudge/tree wisdom Power Animals – our totem helpers Rattles and Drums – the power of vibration Medicine Wheel – the power of direction Creating Sacred Space and Ceremony We close with a group gratitude ceremony created together as we integrate this practical knowledge from our newly refreshed spiritual toolbox thereby creating a collective, sacred space. ~~ * Please bring a baseball/grapefruit sized rock, one that can be returned to nature when the class is finished. Do not bring a favorite, household item or stone that already has meaning to you. The best way to 'find' your rock is to take a walk outside, anywhere in nature. While you are walking, imagine there is a rock waiting somewhere just for you. As you walk, offer a little gratitude for this rock to show itself to you. When you approach anything of this nature in a 'good' way, it will appear. As you pick it up, hold it in your hands for a few moments, asking if this rock is meant for you. See if you can notice any sensations in your mind or hands as you do this. Do not examine it or think too much about if it 'looks' right, only that it 'feels' right. Feel free to bring your drum and/or rattle if you have one. Bring your lunch, a water bottle and a notebook or journal to write in. ~*~ Specific address location in Salem MA is given upon registration Workshop Fee $120 Shamanic Helpers Certificate is given upon completion
Aug 1, 2018 1 - 5pm	Chakra Intensive Workshop Series - "Solar Plexus"
A seven part study of looking deeply within our own energy bodies "Throat Chakra" There are basically seven major chakras or power points in the human body that each carry their own vibration, color and energetic imprint. By learning about these basic energy centers, we can understand more fully the intricate workings of our human bodies and ultimately learn to heal and harmonize those experiences of our mind, body and spirit (past, present and future!) which may have previously held sway over us. We began this series with the Heart Chakra – because “There is only one great power on earth and that is Love” (Marianne Uhl) This second workshop dove deeply into the Solar Plexus chakra, combining meditation, sound, color, crystals and self-questioning as we worked to harmonize our mind, body and spirit. This seven part program is a powerful tool to assist you on your souls’ journey as you gather insight and understanding by looking deeper into your own unique energy body. Join us today for the "Throat Chakra" class! Classes may be taken out of order as we will repeat from the start once this series finishes. Please contact if interested. ~~ Please bring a snack, notebook or journal, bandana or eye cover and a water bottle. Chakra handouts are included. Energy exchange $41 ~~ Location - Cohasset Pre-registration is suggested; exact location will be given upon sign up.
