StarHouse Full Moon Meditation Full Moons at The StarHouse provide quiet time to listen and feel the energies of Sun, Moon and Earth in their full moon alignment. We take this quiet time to open, receive, reflect and explore this conversation and its meaning for us personally and as a community globally. We begin each time with an acknowledgment of the “voices” of the sun, moon and earth. Each individual in their own way(walking, sitting or laying) has quiet time to “be” present in the energy of the full moon and held by our beautiful temple StarHouse. You are invited to come and be present in this sacred space. Minister, Candice Knight Cost: $10 or Free to StarHouse members  |

DEEP IMAGERY INTENSIVE Guides: Mary Marsden and Sheila Belanger As human beings, we have four distinct ways of knowing — four ways we’re able to receive information about our world and ourselves. We have the capacity to learn through thinking, feeling, sensing, and imagining. These four functions, however, are rarely developed in a balanced way. Western culture promotes thinking and sensing almost exclusively. But if we are to uncover the mysteries of our souls, we must strengthen and deepen our imagination (as well as our capacity for feeling). Depth psychologists say that the substance of the soul is image, and that deep imagery (imagery that comes to us unbidden from the unconscious, from our core human nature) is one of the most direct and potent means for accessing soul. Through our deep imagery experiences, we can discover soul powers, resources concealed in the Shadow, sacred wounds, and archetypal potentials, and thereby cultivate our psychological wholeness. On imagery journeys, we meet inner guides who possess the wisdom and capacities to assist us on the descent to soul. There are many methods for cultivating deep imagery, but among the most effective are those that involve power animals — inner guides to healing, individuation, and soul work. We will explore our relationships with power animals through deep imagery journeys assisted by rhythmic drumming and spoken word. We’ll deepen what we discover in the imaginal world by grounding it in the body through somatic exercises and movement and expressing it creatively through various art forms in order to fully take in and honor the gifts we receive. We’ll also use nature-based practices and self-designed ceremony to further integrate our deep imagery experiences. July 17-21, 2013 Cost: $990 (includes meals) To register, go to animas.org or call (800) 451-6327
