ABOUT THE SACRED DRUM
The ‘sacred drum’ can be found in most tribal cultures, with Egyptian, Native American, Celtic, African, and Islander cultures well known for using their drums in many sacred ways.
This beautiful and powerful instrument is used to bring 'spirit medicine' into a space, in a sacred way: for ceremony, for celebration with spirit guides and tribe, to journey with the elements, with your animal and plant spirits and guides, and to facilitate or support a healing space.
The teachings in these workshops are not specifically aligned with, nor attempt to replicate, one specific culture, though they are influenced by a number of shamanic cultures. The knowledge taught has primarily come from my own experience of having a drum as a companion on my journey as a teacher of shamanic wisdom ways for almost fourteen years, and as a practitioner of shamanic healing since 1997, of which the drum has accompanied and assisted me for the past fourteen years.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
I have designed a full day workshop to introduce the concept of the beauty and bounty of High Love, using your Sacred Drum with more awareness of it being an instrument that will open gateways to this way of being in the world. You will come to know your drum and its spirit more intimately, and to learn how to treat it with respect, marvelling at its capacity to support you in a myriad of ways on your journey of High Love and loving, conscious connections. The bonus of this workshop is that you will have some wonderful insights into the Shamanic Way.
Your drum may be animal, or plant/fibre-skin in nature. While most people will most likely be using what is traditionally known as a ‘medicine drum’, with a beater, the teachings can be adapted and applied to any type of drum if you are using it in a sacred way. All levels of drummers welcome.
The lessons I have learned along the way to help me understand my drum(s) have come from both internal and external guides, however, ultimately the Drum Spirit itself has been my primary teacher. I have been called to share what I know to assist you to feel more connected to your own Drum Spirit, and to feel confident in journeying alongside of with great joy and respect.
During this workshop we will be discussing how you can journey with your drum on this path of awakening to the medicines of your authentic True-heart through self-facilitation. This workshop offers four powerful ways you can fully immerse into this journey with your Sacred Drum. Please bring your own drum along to share the experience of a conscious drum circle. If you don't have a drum, please contact me HERE for more information.
There are three parts to the Sacred Drum Workshop:
- ♥️Ceremony & the Elements with your Drum
- ♥️Awakening & Celebrating High Love with your Drum
- ♥️Journeying to Heal with your Drum
CEREMONY:
Playing your sacred drum in ceremony from your heart with the Spirit of you Drum, connecting with the elements of fire, earth, water and air, and with your spirit guides to celebrate your experiences and free your own spirit in many creative ways.
This concept is based on teaching you how to call in assistance for all parts of you, from all directions, with your drum in a ceremonial way. You will be introduced to some foundational elements of each of the 8 Sacred Directions (Within, Without, Above, Below, East, North, West and South) that I teach. There will be some discussion about where you are now, and where would like to be, using the drum and drum beats to greet each direction and call in what you need on this journey at this time to live a fulfilling and conscious life. I will use the elements of fire, earth, water and air to guide you on this journey, and will be doing my best to do this in a way so you can adapt the directions to your own map of the ‘medicine wheel’ or sacred circle.
You will have a chance to get to know a little of the history of sacred drums, often referred to as 'medicine drums', and how to care for and celebrate the Spirit of Your Drum.
The Quest:'
- Build your confidence in caring for and creating ceremony with your drum.
- Have a greater understanding of sacred directions and elements within a shamanic ceremony circle.
- Feel connected to and guided by the spirit and power of your drum.
- Experience a ceremonial journey meditation guided with the sacred drum
- Increase your drumming skills.
- An opportunity to create authentic connections with sacred space.
AWAKENING AND CELEBRATING 'HIGH LOVE' WITH YOUR SACRED DRUM:
In this part of the workshop you are introduced to the Nature's elements and archetypes that support you on your journey, discovering which ones you relate most easily with. You will be encouraged to find, create, and bring back you own personal drum beats, songs and sounds from the ‘worlds’ that reflect your True Nature, and support you on your journey. You will join with others to create sacred, healing, and playful sounds together to raise the vibrational energies in your own field, and the field of the whole group, the city, and beyond.
- Expand your self-knowing in archetypal terms, the shamanic way.
- Have a greater understanding of sacred directions and the natural elements that can support you at this time.
- Become more familiar with the drum beats that resonate with your personal journey at this time.
- Learn to express your personal sounds and songs to the Great Spirit who guides you, calling in your dreaming and visions for this time.
- Increase your drumming skills.
- An opportunity to create authentic connections and celebrate what it is to come from a place of High Love with tribe within sacred space.
HEALING JOURNEYS AND SELF-HEALING WITH YOUR SACRED DRUM:
Your drum has the capacity to hold and create a vibrational healing space. You will be shown how to journey with your drum in a number of different ways for this purpose, turning to the Sacred Circle Map and four cardinal directions and your inner spirit guides to assist you in this. Again, you are reminded that this process is to assist you in your own healing, and unless you are a trained practitioner and facilitator in shamanic practice, these processes are not recommended to be used for others. Rather, you are learning one step at a time. However, you can journey with the drum into your own dreaming spaces when you know how to prepare and guide yourself into and safely out of altered states of consciousness induced by drumming. This is also a time to connect and celebrate with others in the workshop.
The Quest:
- Create a deeper connection to the spirit of your drum.
- Understand the healing potential of your drum.
- Juxtapose the directions of a sacred circle map over your drum to guide you to specifically directs healing energy into your body where it needs it.
- Journey more deeply into the sacred worlds of healing and transformation.
- Allow your sacred drum to guide you, learning to surrender to and trust in the spirit of your drum, and its connection to inner healers, the elements, your spirit and animal guides, and archetypal landscapes.
- Learn to play your drum to assist you to relax and restore your energy, and to assist you to creatively visualise your dreams and quests.
- Become more in tune with the rhythms of your drum, and its power to disperse and harmonise energies.
- Experience authentic connections within a confidential, shamanic sharing circle.
- Grounding safely.
ENDORSEMENTS
"Spirit can come at you with a great force when your spirit is ready to do the work which is why I appreciate the great loving, nurturing and passive presence that Heather brings to her ceremony and workshop space.
Do not underestimate this as soft for only someone that has worked with great spirit and understands the balance of this great work can bring this loving presence as well as strong will to the space.
Heather is a wonderful teacher and story teller. Her words hold the magic of the cosmos and bring light to the path ahead.
I highly recommend Heather and her drum teachings to those that are on the shamanic path and seek the guidance with ease and grace." Kassandra Scardino, Practitioner and Trainer in Point of Light Therapy.
“Ever since attending Heather’s Sacred Drum workshop I have carried my drum around with me most places. It has really come alive and keeps me company, even when I don’t play it. It has helped me heal and I feel more at peace when I play it. I loved how, during the Sacred Drum teachings, a Siamese Cat actually showed up at the door when I called in the energies of the Heart in the West and imagined myself connecting with Cat-spirit energy. I love the magic of Heather’s teachings and especially her work with the Sacred Drum, and her Mandala Co-creation circles”. Bill Burbon (Musician and past Trainee of Sacred Drum Workshop, 2017).

HEATHER'S JOURNEY WITH SACRED DRUM
Heather has been playing sacred drums for twenty years, since she first heard the call of the drum through the night in 1998. She knew at once she had to make her own drum and within a week she had her own drum in her hands. Her first drum was made with deer skin, however, over time Heather has chosen to play a drum made from plant fibre skin. Soon after making her first drum, Heather was holding full moon circles for her local tribe. She then took a journey with her drums, discovering many things they had to offer. The Drum Spirits taught her their capacities along the way.
Heather now plays her drum for her own personal spirit journey, and to support people in multiple settings, including ceremonial, workshops, healing circles, as a healing practitioner, and her latest is playing for to Labyrinth walkers at Woodford Folk Festival where she is a guest presenter in the 2018-19 gathering.

Gratitude Feedback:
"Wow, what an amazing evening...This is my second time being apart of this circle, and it keeps getting better each time. It gave me a chance to switch off the monkey mind, and flow into sacred space quite quickly & deeply.....I love how beautifully intimate this circle is. It's a safe place to explore the inner you deeply. The drum journey always takes me to somewhere magical, and the drum energy is such a beautiful guide. Looking forward to see what comes up in the next circle.Thank you so much for your beautiful guidance Heather."
Keiren Paul Lowy 03.06.17 Sacred Mandala at The Temple, Surry Hills
“Filled with the deepest insights and wisdom…Thank you for such a gift I am continuing to work with. Your sacred work is such a blessing. Lynette Gordon, January 2016.”
More about Mandala Creation and the Sacred Circle:
The Sacred Circle represents the map of whole-soul, true-heart self, in body, heart, mind and spirit. You will be guided to look at what you are calling into your life right now from one or more of these areas, and assist to make a decision about what you are ready to let go of and put more energy into in order for your visions to be more concrete and possible.
The journey of creation is a partnership between you and your soul, and the Divine Plan for humanity. It will be influenced by your past in this and other lives, by your ancestors journey, and by the collective consciousness. The mandala we co-create together assists the energies you are attracting to be amplified and clearer so you can feel more confident in moving forward. The drum journeys take you to your rich Inner World to call in the assistances from light beings and nature spirits to assist you on your journey. This process takes place in ceremony to allow you to experience the power of sacredness.
I share stories and an exciting co-creation formula with you to assist you to understand the power of self-responsibility and commitment to daily co-creation practice, while fully trusting in your soul's journey. These teachings are supported by The 8 Ways, shamanic guidelines for walking and co-creating confidently and consciously on your journey.

Sacred Circle of Transformation

Venue: The Awareness Institute, Level 2/ 28 Chandos Street,
St Leonards.
One minute walk from the train station.
FOR BOOKINGS CLICK HERE
ABOUT THIS CIRCLE:
Explore the journey of energetic expansion and manifestation through having a mindful presence, with yourself, the energy around you, and with time.
It is not always easy to inform people about what they will receive when they invest time and energy to gather in sacred circle. Or in any creative gathering.
Much of the magic is spontaneous and depends a great deal on who comes along to join us on cocreation as we drop into deep, authentic, joyful, healing, raw and vulnerable spaces together.
And a great deal of wisdom is gleaned from our inner worlds and beings of light.
However, you can be sure your experience has the possibility of being transformative, and for some, life-changing.
There will be storytelling, mindful reflection, opportunities to face and breakthrough resistance, and creative, ritualised spaces to dream and manifest.
Heather's drum will guide you to your Dreaming Tree and Spirit of Giraffe will assist you to stretch and reach for the best fruit on the top branches.
Whatever happens, planned and unplanned, know that when you connect and create with Josie and Heather, and others in the circle, that there will be the potential to rise and radiate to a high vibration of Extraordinary Love, Higher Love. This is the power of CoCreation.
It will be a delight to share this Sacred Circle of Transformation with you, if you live in or near Sydney and hear the call.

Developing and expanding on your relationship with your drum, for ceremony and celebration, for journeying and co-creating, and for healing, the Shamanic Way.
Venue and Time to be Confirmed
Thank you for your interest in The Sacred Drum workshops - PLEASE EMAIL HEATHER HERE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SACRED DRUM WORKSHOPS
ABOUT:
The 'sacred drum' can be found in most tribal cultures, where the drum is used to bring 'spirit medicine' into a space, usually in a sacred way: for ceremony, celebration, to journey with spirits, or to facilitate or support a healing space.
I have designed this workshop to assist you to get to know your drum and its spirit more closely, and to learn how to treat it with respect and to marvel at its capacity to support you in a myriad of ways on your journey.
CEREMONY AND CELEBRATION:
Get to know and celebrate with the Spirit of Your Drum. You will be introduced to each of the 8 Sacred Directions that I teach, and have a chance to celebrate where you are at in each of these, using the drum and drum beats to guide you. Drumming ceremoniously from the heart to and with Spirit allows you to celebrate your experiences and free your own spirit in many creative ways.
The Quest:'
- Build your confidence in creating ceremony with your drum.
- Have a greater understanding of sacred directions and elements within a shamanic ceremony circle.
- Feel connected to and guided by the spirit of your drum.
- Experience a ceremonial journey meditation guided by the sacred drum
- Increase your drumming skills.
- An opportunity to create authentic connections with sacred space.
SACRED DRUM JOURNEYS:
You will be guided on a number of drum journeys to meet your animal spirt guides, and the spirit of landscapes that can support your healing. You are will practice how to hold space for your own exploration of this when at home. This is not training you as a facilitator to hold space for others, though if you are already trained as a facilitator, you may learn from the experience.
The Quest:

Heather's Experience with The Sacred Drum
"The lessons I have learned along the way to help me understand my drum(s) have come from both internal and external guides, however, ultimately the Drum Spirit itself has been my primary teacher. I have been called to share what I know to assist you to feel more connected to your own Drum Spirit, and to feel confident in journeying alongside of this with great joy and respect."
Heather has been playing drums for personal and client healing and as a tool to facilitate inner guidance since 2004, after been called by the Spirit of The Drum in her dreams. Every night she would hear the drum calling to her and soon realized she had to make one. Within a few days of her decision to make a drum, a teacher of drum making showed up literally at the door of her practice, handing out fliers for making drums. She made her first drum and felt its sacredness immediately. Since then Heather has been guided, from within, in ways to connect with and play her drums, for ceremonial purposes, for taking inner journeys, for healing, and for celebrating.
Sacred drums can be found across cultures, and are made out of a variety of animal and plant materials. While having experienced teachings from a small number of teachers of sacred wisdom around the globe in the physical world, Heather does not claim to be a teacher of any particular branch of shamanism or sacred drum teachings, rather she has co-created her Sacred Drum teachings with the drums that have kept her company on her journey, and with her inner guides and teachers who have guided her since 1997. Any drum and drummer is welcome to come to the Sacred Drum workshops, however the one requirement is that the student is ready to drop into and be guided by the Way of the Sacred, and The Spirit of their Drum.

Developing and expanding on your relationship with your drum, for ceremony and celebration, for journeying and co-creating, and for healing, the Shamanic Way.
Thank you for your interest in The Sacred Drum workshops - PLEASE EMAIL HEATHER HERE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FURTHER SACRED DRUM WORKSHOPS
ABOUT: The 'sacred drum' can be found in most tribal cultures, where the drum is used to bring 'spirit medicine' into a space, usually in a sacred way: for ceremony, celebration, to journey with spirits, or to facilitate or support a healing space.
I have designed a series of independent workshops to assist you to get to know your drum and its spirit more closely, and to learn how to treat it with respect and to marvel at its capacity to support you in a myriad of ways on your journey.
There are three gatherings at three hours long each and can be taken individually, or you can attend all three. There is a slight discount for attending all three.
CEREMONY AND CELEBRATION:
Get to know and celebrate with the Spirit of Your Drum. You will be introduced to each of the 8 Sacred Directions that I teach, and have a chance to celebrate where you are at in each of these, using the drum and drum beats to guide you. Drumming ceremoniously from the heart to and with Spirit allows you to celebrate your experiences and free your own spirit in many creative ways.
The Quest:'
- Build your confidence in creating ceremony with your drum.
- Have a greater understanding of sacred directions and elements within a shamanic ceremony circle.
- Feel connected to and guided by the spirit of your drum.
- Experience a ceremonial journey meditation guided by the sacred drum
- Increase your drumming skills.
- An opportunity to create authentic connections with sacred space.
SACRED DRUM JOURNEYS:
You will be guided on a number of drum journeys to meet your animal spirt guides, and the spirit of landscapes that can support your healing. You are will practice how to hold space for your own exploration of this when at home. This is not training you as a facilitator to hold space for others, though if you are already trained as a facilitator, you may learn from the experience.
The Quest:
- Create a deeper connection to the spirit of your drum.
- Explore the worlds and landscapes within you, meeting and travelling with your spirit guides, animal spirits.
- Learn to play your drum to assist you to relax and restore your energy, and to assist you to creatively visualise your dreams and quests.

Come and experience ceremony and learn how to create a Dreaming Mandala and receive a Shamanic Drum journey to energise you and bring you more into a space of conscious awareness, self-responsibility through personal empowerment and co-creation.
The Sacred Circle represents the map of whole-soul, true-heart self, in body, heart, mind and spirit. You will be guided to look at what you are calling into your life right now from one or more of these areas, and assist to make a decision about what you are ready to let go of and put more energy into in order for your visions to be more concrete and possible. The journey of creation is a partnership between you and your soul, and the Divine Plan for humanity. It will be influenced by your past, by your ancestors journey, and by the collective consciousness. The mandala we co-create together assists the energies you are attracting to be amplified and clearer so you can feel more confident in moving forward. The drum journeys take you to your rich Inner World to call in the assistances from light beings and nature spirits to assist you on your journey. This process takes place in ceremony to allow you to experience the power of sacredness.
I share stories and an exciting co-creation formula with you to assist you to understand the power of self-responsibility and commitment to daily co-creation practice, while fully trusting in your soul's journey. These teachings are supported by The 8 Ways, shamanic guidelines for walking and co-creating confidently and consciously on your journey.

Sunday 29.05.16. 8.30 - 1pm-ish
Meet 8.30 at Sustainability Centre Waverton.
A Shamanic Earth Walk at Waverton - for Sacred, Authentic Connection with Nature, Your True Self, and within the Spaces you live, love and lead.
A morning in Nature to explore and discover more about how to be the person you are born to be and to live the life of your dreams through strengthening your inner connectedness to yourself, all beings, and all things. These walks assist you to take your place, to feel like you belong in the spaces you inhabit each day, in your own skin, and on the planet. This is your time to live, love and lead soulfully and meaningfully.
We begin with a sacred circle and drum journey and then take our enquiries into Nature.
THEME FOR THIS WALK: Courage to be the person you are born to be!
MORE ABOUT THESE SACRED EARTH WALKS:
The Shamanic Walk gatherings are run regularly as a means of establishing a deeper relationship with the elements of the earth and unseen dimensions that guide each person in both a conscious and unconscious way. They are aimed to heighten each participant's awareness of how they can choose to relate more deeply to the elements of nature to inspire, expand, and heal the many important aspects of their life and/or business. We also discuss The 8 Ways ~ Shamanic Guidelines for Walking Consciously and Confidently in Your True Nature, at these walk, and how these, along with an awareness of Nature’s Laws, support us into spirited living and leading.
These walks hope to convey the message that while each one of walks this path to enlightenment and truth alone, we are never alone and are deeply connected and part of everything and everyone on this planet. This is the Law of Oneness. There are signs everywhere that can show us the way and give us messages to guide us.
Each walk has a theme that we take into Nature to explore and learn from.

FEBRUARY IN SYDNEY
Spirit River Dreaming - Creative Creation by the Hawkesbury
with Heather Price and supported by Beata Kuchcinska
Dates: Sunday 28.02.16
Where: Hawkesbury River - at the home of Beata Kuchcinska who will assist me with the Drumming and other activities.
Time: An early start and late afternoon finish - times are in process of being confirmed and will be given at time of registration or soon after.
Cost: Varied over time. See the box below for discounted prices during earlybird phase.
The Story and Intention:
Since I began travelling regularly to Sydney, from northern NSW, at the age of eleven (some time ago now!) I have crossed the Hawkesbury River bridge hundreds of times, and each time my heart has burst open at the beauty of this place. I have said to myself many times on such occasions: "One day I will come and spend some time in this beautiful place".
Early in 2014, shortly before moving to Sydney from Brisbane to live, I spent some time in intensive meditation and asked some questions of Spirit. One of these was "Where will I take people on sacred earth walks and share dreaming time?". The answer came early the next morning in a waking dream. I heard the words "Kurungai" and at the time it was a familiar word but I couldn't place it. Later I discovered the Kurungai mob are one of about four major tribes who inhabited the Hawkesbury river lands before the white man came.
Recently I met fellow Earthwoman Beata Kuchcinska and we immediately became firm friends. Soon after we met, Beata invited me to her river home - yes to beloved home of the Kurungai - the Hawkesbury. The Spirit of this River had called me for such a long time, I cried when I woke early and saw it in all its glory in the East outside my bedroom window. I was incredibly excited as it all fell into place, as it always eventually does. One more inspiring dream that has come into fruition in my magical life.
Beata and I had spent the weekend eating nurturing home made food, some of it home grown, and had boiled up some of the left over vegetable skins to dye balls of cotton string that Beata had on hand. We went for a walk and asked for some Dreaming Sticks, and brought these home to craft our dreams into. We played our drums and journeyed to other worlds to make our visions clear and set our intentions. Together we created Dreaming sticks, using the string, sticks gifted on our walk, and lots of feathers, crystals, and beads that we both had with us. We took pictures of our happy creations as we went.
It was a wonderful weekend. As Beata and I sat on the deck of her lovely river home, we talked about how wonderful it would be to share our experience and spread the love and joy that we felt in our hearts as we connected deeply with this great River Spirit.
Over the next few days, we brainstormed the logistics as this place is only accessible by boat and river taxi, the latter not being a cheap alternative but much more affordable with a group. We decided if we had between 6 - 10 people we could make it happen. Beata kindly offered to prepare lunch, which means we have to take all the ingredients over on the Mail Boat (a third resident-only access option) beforehand and carry them up the steep stairs! But it will be worth it! We decided to ask you, if you are fortunate enough to be taking part in this fabulous adventure, to help out and bring some snacks to share. And your own materials - as you will have no doubt saved things up for this occasion! Most people have broken necklaces, feathers, beads, leather strips and string lying around don't they? If you are reading this you surely do! We can call in the dreaming sticks to be gifted by Mother Nature early and you can bring your own, or you can use the ones we will have picked up beforehand. I have also hand picked some lovely crystals for you to purchase, and we will show you how to make a little cotton basket to hang them in, You can hang these from your dreaming stick, or as a necklace. We can't wait to share our other dreaming stories with you and to hear yours!
The Invitation:
You are invited to a day of ‘whole self’ connection and creation through River Spirit Dreaming where you will be held in a dedicated space to create your dreams for your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. You will be guided through processes by the gentle beat of a medicine drum and you will be taken greet the ancestors of the land, and to meet the Spirit of the River and animals spirits who will come to hold your Dreaming. You will be guided in how you Creative Creation Space operates, and will choose one dream to craft to capture and hold the vibration of your dream in a Dreaming Stick. Alternatively, you may prefer to make a piece of jewellery. Some basic materials will be provided, however you will be asked to bring other materials and given a list when you book in.
A light vegetarian lunch will be provided. You are asked to bring snacks for morning and afternoon tea. Access to this dreaming place is by Water Taxi only. There are no shops nearby.

About Meditation:
Meditation is an ancient practice, long known in some parts of the world for its transformative and healing powers.
Heather has developed shamanic technologies, including mindfulness processes and creative visioning for tracking, observing, and transforming stored emotional and physical energy, to assist you to be resourceful in managing stress at all times, and to sustain a more peaceful and loving existence. Studies reveal that when practiced consistently, meditation can result in an increase in immune response, with greater optimism and clarity becoming apparent[1]. Mindfulness meditation has been shown to have positive effects on mind-body-emotional awareness and synergy, and positive transformation of self-perspective (or one’s spirit): “Cultivation of mindfulness, the nonjudgmental awareness of experiences in the present moment, produces beneficial effects on well-being and ameliorates (improves) psychiatric and stress-related symptoms” 2
On Shamanism: “Both shamanism and Jungian psychology acknowledge the importance of the sacred in healing processes. Both recognize how the sacred is manifest in wild nature and through the realm of the imaginal, areas where modern man has fallen out of consistent connection with wholeness’’

A wonderful morning of discovery.
Reflection from participants:
Wonderful Sunday morning surrounded by the wonder of nature and all energies moving around. It was much more of being aware, living in the present moment unmoved by any comments, sound, just to BE with an open heart and loving mind. The words which best could describe the experience up to me was connection, sharing. It was like an invitation to enter into the sacredness of the whole place. We may use the word “initiation” or entering into a new space where symbols, mysteries, legends, tales could be sensed.
By Jocelyne Larghi 07.01.13
You just need to stop & feel the energy of this place, it is palpable.
Wherever you are in nature’s temples, observe & trust whatever comes up: ideas; thoughts; feelings. Observe the animals & other signs of spirit. It might not make sense immediately but will fall into place. Welcome to spirit.

Now more than ever, shamanic technologies are finding their place to assist people to walk more strongly in th
Recently I have been guided to share some sacred aspects of my personal journey by revealing how I have managed the many changes and challenges in my life. While training some shamanic practitioner students, I realised I kept the best ‘bits’ for them, and for me, and it seems time now to share them with you.
As the events of world seem to continue to turn personal worlds upside down more often than not these days, with technology alerting you to almost everything that occurs everywhere, it can be overwhelming at times to manage the energy around and within you.
It is time to create a daily practice that will keep you strong and resilient, focused and confident, trusting and spirited. Now more than ever, shamanic technologies are finding their place to assist people to walk more strongly in their True Heart Nature.
And so – I have designed a workshop for you to help you in anyway I can to do all of this. Please come along, and if you bring a companion, you will be delighted to
receive a fabulous discount.
About the Workshop
Crystals have long been acknowledged for their healing capacity as well as their beauty when used as gems of adornment. Shamanic healing practitioners used crystals in many ways - as stones of protection, for divination and scrying, as healing tools for such things as balancing chakras and the energy field, amplifying and focusing healing energy for a client, as well as for removing implants and trapped entities. Of course, they also asked for their help to cleanse and energise living and working spaces, and to bring healing energies to the land, using crystals to amplify energy from one point to another to create energetic boundaries and songlines. All of this work is still done today.
This is a creative workshop to assist you for professional development as a healing practitioner, or personal and spiritual development as a lover of crystals to understand, and apply the vast qualities and technologies of these beautiful stones in enriching and powerful ways. This is also an opportunity to experience SPP shamanic technologies, and this workshop has credits if you decide to train in Shamanic Path and Practice at some later date.
The emphasis in this workshop is to build your confidence in naturally connecting with crystals, and intuitively applying crystal processes to your daily practice.
· Connect with the spirit of a crystal, learn how to care for and communicate with it.
· Observation of crystals to understand their qualities and function - for example- you will
be taught how to use crystals as a focusing and guiding medium for meditation, or to
ground you and provide focus at times of stress and anxiety, and which crystals to use
to absorb, direct, or amplify energy during hands on or remote healing.
· Scrying and intuitive guidance with crystals through observation and intuition combined.
· Crystal layouts and gridding techniques.
· Crystals, the elements, and animal spirits combined in shamanic healing
· Crystals and ceremony, with a guided shamanic drum journey

Create Your Personal Manifesto
A Professional and Personal Development Workshop
When: Sunday 26 October (CE)
Venue: The Loft - Upstairs at Kempsey Bulk Health Foods 30 Smith St, Kempsey
PLEASE REGISTER YOUR INTEREST HERE TO GO ON THE MAILING LIST FOR THIS WORKSHOP
/registration-form.html
A day of Dreaming, Visioning, Planning, and Manifesting the life you want and deserve.
Intention: To create a Manifesto for Spirited Living, Loving and Leading. Create a powerful and creative vision plan to live a spirited life in body, mind, heart and spirit.
WHAT IS A MANIFESTO?
The word manifest means to bring into awareness. It is associated with the Latin word appareo - which means to appear. A Manifesto, for the purpose of this workshop, is a set of principles, a personal policy or proposal for your life or venture that you are prepared to commit to in order to create a magical and magnificent journey. When you become clear about your personal Manifesto, life gets much easier as you now have a map to help navigate you through the challenges you may be facing. Your personal Manifesto will assist you to:
• know yourself well,
• be impeccable and disciplined in your thinking and creating,
• feel loved and supported.
• be confident and grounded in your environment,
• and be clear in your visions and set powerful goals and quests for now and in the future,
knowing that taking action ensures success.
Live your life consciously and confidently by creating a personal Manifesto of laws, guidelines, archetypal symbols, drivers, and boundaries to keep you focused, empowered, & lovingly aware - ready to take immediate action. With this empowering and powerful took, you will feel strong on your path of co-creation and set out to manifest your dreams with a sense of purpose, and with ease and grace.
Feedback from a similar workshop
'I have been needing to clarify my vision for some time now and Heather's manifesto process was just what I needed for doing this. Thinking about and setting down the rules and guidelines for how I live helped me to ground my vision in day to day reality, and strengthen my commitment to living in alignment with my values and needs. I feel stronger and clearer in who I am and what I came to live in this life, and am excited to see where my journey takes me from here. Thank you Heather for sharing this empowering work with us.'

Exploring, Experiencing, Expressing, and Expanding Your True-Heart Self
~ The Shamanic Way
A Day of Self-discovery and healing with Heather Price
9.15 am arrive for 9.30am start until 5pm
During this day we will:
- Create a sacred space to explore your True Heart Self, that is, who you are underneath the masks your wear, and look at some shamanic concepts to understand where the obstacles in your way may come from.
- Look at where you are at right now in 2014. We will also explore where you have come from and look at who walked before you – your ancestors. There will be time to look at where you are heading, in archetypal terms, by discerning the roles you are ready to step more into.
- On this day, you will be supported into Self exploration with story talk, drum journeys into 'other' worlds, and the opportunity to meet your spirit and animal guides. There will be some time for record keeping of what you discover and a short amount of time made for more visual creativity.
- We will touch on the Laws of Nature, creating symbols to guide you and connect you with your daily intentions and greater visions, new decisions, and steps to guide you into the future.
All workshops are guided by the teachings of the Sacred Circle and The 8 Ways, as gifted by Spirit through my journey as healing practitioner, founder, and trainer of Shamanic Path and Practice.
This is an experiential workshop, and as I am travelling interstate, you will be required to bring some materials. You will also be sent some written material before and after the workshop to support you.
Please book NOW to take advantage of the Super Early Bird Price and reward for dual booking – which is only on for a few weeks.
I would also appreciate it if you could pass this onto your networks to share the good news. Thank you.
Morning tea and a delicious lunch is included.

We will have a little time as well to look at where you are heading in archetypal terms and by discerning the roles you are ready to step more into.
