The Spiritual Challenge of "Honor One Another"

Money, sexuality and choice in relationships are powerful entities in the energetic center we will be exploring in this session.

This is the origin of our strongest creative energies, the force behind art, music, self-expression, and our need to manifest or contribute to the world as artists.

Blame and guilt reside here, as well as the amazing healing energy of forgiveness, for ourselves and others. Many of our "wounds" are felt and held here because this chakra resonates with the charge of partners, marriage, friendship, and professional relationships.

We will be working on finding our power through releasing attachments to painful associations to primal relationships (mother/father, husband/wife, son/daughter), recognizing that everyone in your life plays an essential role in your development, and examining boundaries about who we are in relationship to others.

Exploring and Experiencing "Who We Are in Partnership with Others"

Day 2

Morning session:
In guided meditation, making prayer bundles and prayer flags, and personal sharing, we will begin the process of exploring the "power of relationships" through direct experience with the memories and energies expressed in our second chakra, or navel energy center.

Afternoon session:
We will be guided through a dance/movement session to directly experience the boundaries we have about interacting with others, forming relationships and the power of choice.

We will work with the Medicine Wheel and choose a medicine animal for the South direction to explore and work with as a focus for personal choices we have made and are in the process of forming now.

Receiving the Blessing of Becoming Partners

Evening session:
This session culminates in a sacred ritual of Communion as we acknowledge our emergence as partners in creating a vibrant, creative and wholistic universe. The act of "breaking bread" together allows us to symbolically acknowledge that we are all part of one cosmic and spiritual family, and that EVERYONE WE KNOW is there by Divine design!

Positive Effects

Vitality, sexuality.

Negative Effects

Lust, base emotions, addictions.
