ANIMALS, THE PLANET, AND US:
                 Creating Spiritual Connections for Thriving
                                               with Sarah Bowen

    Most of us do not journey alone. Approximately 57% of households in the world include at least one animal
    family member, and in the United States, that number is approximately 68%. Our actions affect our pets, and
    they affect us. How can we strengthen the bond? How do we prepare for the joy of a new animal companion,
    the confusion of messy health decisions, and the devastation of death or loss? Beyond home, how do we extend
    compassion to the 8.7 million other species we share this interdependent planet with? As animal lovers, what
    does our sacred activism look like on behalf of those without a human voice?

    In this workshop, animal chaplain Sarah Bowen will give you the opportunity to

    •   Dig into what spiritual traditions teach about animals
    •   Explore your relationship with nonhuman beings
    •   Understand how theoethics impacts all beings and our planet
    •   Try interspecies spiritual practices that can strengthen the human/animal bond and bring healing benefits to both
    •   Learn about the field of animal chaplaincy
    •   Receive resources for working with animal adoption, illness, loss, grief, and advocacy
    •   Discover how to extend your professional practice/volunteer work/sacred activism/ministry beyond
        the two-leggeds

                                    Rev. Sarah Bowen has a special interest in the intersection of spiritual values with
                                    animal welfare and is a fierce advocate for all creatures. As an animal chaplain, she
                                    teaches interspecies mindfulness practices, works with humans around grief/loss of
                                    companion animals, loves up animals in shelters, and provides wildlife struck by cars
                                    a “sacred sendoff.” Her writing on animal/human relationships has been featured in
                                    Spirituality & Health magazine, Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, and Elephant Journal, and
                                    on a wide range of podcasts from The Doggy Diva Show to Vegan Spirituality. She is a
                                    member of the Association for Pet Loss & Bereavement, is an interfaith/interspiritual
                                    minister, and is author of two books on modern spirituality.

RECLAIMING SPIRITUAL YOU:
                        Writing Your Story of Liberation
                                     with Crystal Cheatham

When activist Crystal Cheatham came out as a lesbian, she suddenly needed to reframe her belief systems,
noting, “Everything was called into question, from my gender expression to my community to what I believed
in spiritually.” Are you living fully into your best spiritual self, unencumbered by old thoughts (or others'
opinions)? Are you struggling with any baggage of the past or how to make sense of the turmoil of our time
or aligning your reality with contradicting core beliefs?
Let’s focus on liberation as a life theology. Join Crystal on a freedom adventure of acceptance, self-love, and
finding divine connection in mysterious places. With the chorus of a diverse range of authors, Crystal will
gently guide you in a spiritual exploration to deconstruct systems of exclusion and oppression and reconstruct
the principles of social justice and compassion.
Read, write, and grow in this day-long workshop, during which you’ll be invited to
• Ask the hard questions
• Be vulnerable
• Take apart belief systems that no longer serve you while reclaiming what does

                               both of which provide resources for marginalized communities of faith. As an outspoken
                               activist she has written for The Huffington Post on the intersections of faith and sexual
                               identity, created a column for the Philadelphia Gay News, was a member of the steering
                               committee of the Human Rights Campaign as the faith and spirituality chair, and
                               partnered with Equality PA to influence clergy to support nondiscrimination legislation.
                               She is the host of Lord Have Mercy, a podcast about God, sex, and the Bible, and has been

     The world is at a tipping point, with climate breakdown, political and economic turmoil, and stubborn
     narratives of dominance and separation. It seems nearly impossible for humanity to keep living as it has. What
     the world needs now are people who are fully awake to the crisis we face on this planet and are following
     their unique callings to live in service to a hurting world. It needs people who are done with false hope and
     are willing and ready to bring themselves wholly to a path of radical personal and collective transformation.
     The world needs sacred activists.
     Discover and deepen your vocation and gain concrete tools for greater impact in the world through
     contemplative practice, self-inquiry, analysis of social movements, community building, and more.
     Together, we will learn
     • How to cultivate resilience in order to navigate this tremendous shift in human consciousness
     • A framework of sacred activism that is integrative and holistic
     • How to listen to our individual and collective callings and move into transformative action

                                    Rev. Chelsea MacMillan is a spiritual director, writer, facilitator, and climate organizer

CONTEMPORARY WICCA:
                    Ancestral Wisdom for Modern Times

Are you curious to delve into the essential wisdom and practices of contemporary Wicca, the fastest-growing
spirituality in the United States? Wicca is rooted in ancestral, shamanic Euro-Indigenous wisdom traditions.
Its revival has been, in large measure, midwifed and cultivated by women who have rebirthed the Great
Goddess(es).
Wicca provides deep personal and cultural healing to restore our connections to Mother Earth. Essentials
of Wiccan cosmology and basic practices reveal sacred dimensions and spirit realms. And magic – not the
traditionally patriarchal model of asserting supernatural control over Nature, but as the natural flow of divine
energy into the world and the practitioner, and through the practitioner into the world – embodies and reveals
the Divine.
Reserve your space to learn about
•   Simple methods of magic                                 •   Shamanic practice to alter consciousness and
•   Green breathing                                             perception
•   Grounding and centering                                 •   Ecstatic practice to receive, raise, and direct
•   Creating an altar                                           energy including chanting and dancing
•   Casting a circle/creating sacred space                  •   Divination to engage in dialogue with divinity
•   Honoring the 7 directions                               •   Ritual creation
•   Invoking divinity particularly the goddess(es)

                                wisdom as the “next big idea” in American culture.                                       15
DREAMS AS PORTALS

     Dream images are often complex and multilayered. They are, however, nothing less than the visual
     manifestation of our very souls. Arising directly from our deep psyche – our soul – they appear to us as sacred
     mystery, offering an opportunity to listen to the Divine within.
     During the day, when our consciousness is in charge, only a few of our inner energies have free expression.
     These are mostly socially sanctioned and conditioned parts, such as the ego and the persona. But every night,
     when the grip of consciousness loosens, our inner gods and goddesses (in both their positive and negative
     forms) share an elaborate sequence of dream images based on where our psyche stands at the moment and
     how we can best align our desires and aspirations with our inner divinity.
     This workshop offers attendees the opportunity to
     •   Learn the vocabulary and idiom of your dream maker      •   Build a basic tool set to work with dreams
     •   Become an active participant in the unfolding of        •   Observe how to circumambulate dreams
         your destiny                                            •   Take part in a dream group session
     •   Gain an appreciation for the power of dreams and        •   Experience sacred service wherein the dream
         “dreamwork”                                                 images serve as liturgy

                                    Rev. Darby Christopher is an interfaith minister and holds a Master of Social Work
                                    degree. She is a graduate of the Haden Institute’s Dream Group Leadership Training
                                    program. Author of the recently published book From Anxiety to Connection: A Path to
                                    Authentic Relating, Darby enjoys speaking, writing, presenting workshops, leading dream

                                    Rev. Dr. Sushmita Mukherjee is an ordained interspiritual minister and counselor.
                                    Trained as a biophysicist and cell biologist in India and in the United States, she works
                                    as an associate professor of research at Weill Cornell Medical College, New York City.
                                    Her scientific work focuses on high-resolution microscopy and image analysis, and their
                                    applications in cutting-edge biomedical research. She is thus very finely attuned to the
                                    nuances of images and the stories images can tell. Sushmita’s spiritual work is also
                                    deeply influenced by Jungian/archetypal thought. She thus sees images as carriers of
                                    potent psychospiritual symbols and as sources of mythopoesis. Sushmita loves to write,
                                    to visualize, to chant, and to create art that lives at the interface of science and soul.

WALKING ON THE PATH OF
             MARY MAGDALENE
                                          with Susie Verde

"Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world,
what she has done will also be told, in memory of her." - Mark 14:9

Who was Mary Magdalene really? Even though she had a vital role during the crucifixion, burial, and
resurrection of Jesus, very little was registered about her in the canonical gospels.
A woman well ahead of her time, Mary Magdalene stands as an important icon in the emergence of the
wisdom of the feminine soul. The message contained in the Gospel of Mary is a source of inspiration and
empowerment to women and men who are seeking balance in a world that suffers from a dysfunctional male
consciousness. More than that, hers is a path that can lead us to uncover aspects of our spiritual identity.
This workshop offers participants the opportunity to
• Gain a better understanding of her vital role in early Christianity
• Be introduced to a new way of experiencing Jesus’s teachings
• Explore what Leloup calls “The Nous,” or the eye of the heart
• Understand the concept of unity – being one with God

                               Susie Verde is a One Spirit graduate, an educator, a community builder, and a passionate
                               communicator of truth. Her academic background includes a degree in law from her
                               native country of Brazil and certifications as a life transformation coach, positive
                               psychology practitioner, and professional astrologer. Since 2014, Susie has been
                               immersed in the teachings of Mary Magdalene and the Divine Feminine, having taught
                               workshops in the USA and internationally. During uncountable visits to the South of
                               France, Susie has followed the steps of a remarkable woman ahead of her time whose
                               voice was almost erased from history. As a result of her personal journey, Susie founded
                               Le Chemin du Cercle, an international circle of women who feel called to embody the
                               message of Mary Magdalene and are inspired by the power of love.
                                                                                                                          19
CONSCIOUS COMMUNICATION:
          Intentional Connection With Self, Spirit, and Other
                                with Nura Hirmina and Laura Billings

     The word “communication” stems from the same root word as “community” and “communion.” Whether
     you feel challenged as a communicator or consider yourself adept, this workshop offers an opportunity to
     advance your communication skills in a supportive community. Conscious communication is not only a matter
     of speaking or listening, praying or contemplating/meditating, and reading or writing, it is the art of the dance
     with all of these.
     Across four evenings, we will explore nuances in communication – first with Self, then with Spirit, and finally
     with Others. We’ll read excerpts from classical texts about dialogue and utilize journal writing for personal
     reflection and spiritual practice.
     Bring your sense of wonder and your favorite words, and take advantage of this time, during which we will:
     • Practice conscious communication skills–discernment of word choice and listening with the whole self
     • Explore reading and writing for secular use and spiritual practice
     • Look at the effects of being more intentional in “dialogue” with self, becoming more authentic with Spirit,
         and deepening human connections with others

                                    Rev. Nura Hirmina was ordained by One Spirit Interfaith Seminary as an Interfaith/
                                    Interspiritual minister in 2014 and completed the Interspiritual Counseling program

                                    Global Management and a Doctor of Ministry (DMin) degree. Nura is a life-long
                                    student of the world’s faith and mystery traditions and embraces secular spirituality
                                    as her path. With over two decades of corporate experience, Nura strives to blend
                                    the secular and the spiritual in her daily life. She approaches every interaction as
                                    an opportunity to engage in kindness as a spiritual practice.

                                    Rev. Laura Billings holds a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of
                                    North Carolina Chapel Hill and was associate director of the National Paideia Center

                                    dialogue as a process for learning and building community. She is co-author of four books
                                    and several articles on the relationship between thinking and communication. Laura is

THE SHAMAN’S MIND:
                          Huna Wisdom to Change Your Life
                                         with Jonathan Hammond

     To think like a shaman is to align with a magical spectrum of possibilities that is available to all of us in
     any given moment. Huna, the ancient esoteric philosophy of Hawaii, teaches you how to connect with those
     possibilities. A spiritual system of ideas, hidden knowledge, and shamanic practices, Huna offers each of us an
     individual gateway into the shaman’s mind.
     Embedded in this rich shamanic tradition is the transformative practice of Ho’oponopono; a potent and
     multilayered healing modality that will open you to new ways of seeing and being. In this highly experiential
     and mind-expanding workshop, beginners and advanced practitioners alike merge with the psyche of the
     shaman and discover the innate, inner power that lies within each of us.
     When shamans like what’s happening, they make it better, and when they don’t, they change it. And, so can you.
     This workshop is based on Jonathan Hammond’s book of the same title.
     Through lecture, practices, meditations and other exercises we will explore the following topics
     in this workshop:
     • The Seven Principles of Huna
     • The Three Selves of Huna
     • Hawaiian Magic and Manifestation practices
     • The Four Levels of Reality of the shaman
     • Ho’oponopono

    and loving mindfulness

     We may not realize it, but every choice we make comes down to either fear or love. Because we are
     bombarded by fear-based messages every day, most of us have learned to listen more to fear than to love. We
     often see our lives and our world as problems that we must fix. This isn't our fault, it’s what we’ve been
     unwittingly trained to do. Listening to fear is an almost unconscious habit. But here’s the good news: Habits
     can be changed.
     By creating daily and deliberate, conscious and committed heart-centered practices, we begin to shift out of
     fear-based problem-solving into living love and “live as if” we are already our truest selves. We stop focusing
     on what we don’t have, and we remember who we already are. We begin to trust more in the power of love
     than in our problem-solving minds – and when we do, we invite the healing power of love into our lives.
     With Victoria’s help you will co-create your own heart-centered practices through

     •   Recognizing how fear gets our ear
     •   Identifying lack-based patterns and releasing them
     •   Welcoming what we don’t know to teach us what we need to hear
     •   Witnessing and weeding
     •   Incorporating go-to practices of joy, gratitude, and centering into our daily lives

                                     Rev. Victoria Price, an inspirational speaker, author, blogger, consultant, coach,
                                     and interspiritual minister, encourages each of us to co-create a legacy of love
                                     through heart-centered practice that can heal our planet. Along with writing her
                                     popular blog, Daily Practice of Joy, Victoria is the author of three books – her 2018
                                     inspirational memoir, The Way of Being Lost: A Road Trip to My Truest Self; the
                                     critically acclaimed Vincent Price: A Daughter’s Biography, and her latest book – Living
                                     Love: 12 Heart-Centered Practices to Transform Your Life. In 2016, after living in New
                                     Mexico for 25 years, Victoria began a nomadic life. Over four years later, she still
                                     chooses to remain “intentionally home-free” as her core heart-centered practice. She
                                     lives on the road with her beloved dog Allie.

Explore self-care through a social-justice lens. We’ll examine the various ways social justice is enacted and
how the influence of trauma and secondary traumatic stressors can potentially hinder the progress of advocacy
work when the Self is not given intentional holistic attention.
Through project-based learning and self-awareness exercises, you will
•   Begin to identify the signs and symptoms of trauma, secondary traumatic stress, and other mental health
    vulnerabilities
•   Learn how to resist retraumatizing yourself and others by being attentive to your own trauma reactions in
    order to effectively participate in the sacred work of social justice
•   Acquire an understanding of the impact of adverse childhood experiences on child development and its
    influence on the functionality of the adult self
•   Strengthen your awareness of and ability to set healthy boundaries
•   Learn how to enhance your communication skills in relationship to others
•   Deepen your awareness of the importance of self-care and how it propels the work of social justice in
    the world
•   Begin developing and/or expanding your skillset to engage more effectively within the systems of oppression
    that you seek to transform
•   Create a restorative self-care plan that is trauma-informed

     Never before has the need for sacred activism – active engagement to support world transformation for
     justice, equity, and peace, from a consciousness of unity and interconnection rather than separation and
     division – been greater. At the heart of sacred activism lies a profound commitment to remain, in Rumi’s
     words, a “true human being,” even in inhuman times. In this weekend with Andrew Harvey and Diane Berke,
     we will explore what it means to be a true human being as well as learn and engage in the essential practices
     we need to nourish and sustain our humanity through times of challenge and uncertainty.
     The practices we will explore in this weekend include
     •   Foundational practices to ground in our essential humanity and connect to the deepest levels of support
     •   Peace practices to cultivate clarity and calm
     •   Heart practices to deepen and extend loving kindness and compassion to others and ourselves
     •   Prayer practices to open to divine guidance and grace
     •   Body practices to anchor the archetypal process of transformation into our physical being

MINDFUL MATTERS:
               Cultivating Presence in a Chaotic World

In a world where our access to information and others is constant, it is easy to move through life on automatic
pilot, forgetting that our authentic, embodied presence can be a lifeline of peace and healing for ourselves
and others. When we are hurried, stressed, overworked, and overscheduled, we lose touch with our natural
compassion.
Across this day of retreat and renewal, we will
• Unpack the seven essential attitudes of mindfulness practice, common obstacles to practice and how to work
   with them, and the power of self care
• Use mindfulness practices to learn how to slow down and reconnect to our deepest values and desire to be of
   service
• Explore ways to be fully present to our life experiences and train our attention so we can bring the gift of our
   embodied presence of peace and compassion to a world in need
This class is appropriate for anyone, regardless of previous experience with mindfulness practice.

                               Rev. Eileen Fisher, co-director of One Spirit Interfaith Seminary, has been teaching

                               in the Nur Ashki Jerrahi Order, Eileen strives to walk the path of remembrance and
                               expresses her ministry by supporting the spiritual growth of others through officiating
                               life-cycle ceremonies and spiritual counseling. She believes we are all connected and
                               called to demonstrate the transformative power of love through expression of our own
                               divine wisdom in ways that will bless and heal the world.

SIKHISM:
         Demystifying the World’s Fifth-Largest Religion
                                    with Simram Jeep Singh

Sikhism is the fifth-largest organized religion in the world, yet many books on religion devote little space
to it. Who are the Sikhs, what do they believe, and how do they experience the Divine? Established in the
latter part of the 15th century by Guru Nanak, this relatively young religion is based in the love of a universal
God. Key values include social justice, human rights, and religious freedom for people of all religions. A core
tenet of Sikhism is seva (selfless service), and Sikhs across the world practice this in many forms, including
providing free meals and lending a helping hand as needed–testaments to a belief system that demonstrates
true dedication to its values.
This one-day workshop will offer participants the opportunity not only to add Sikhism to their knowledge of
world religions but also to
• Experience Sikh prayer/meditation
• Explore the importance of Sikh sacred scriptures, the Guru Granth Sahib
• Participate in performance of religious hymns (keertan)
• Learn about important contributions of Sikhs to the world
• Understand the social challenges Sikh communities are facing

     “When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on
     the horizon, I turn to Bhagavad-Gita and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile
     in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new
     meanings from it every day.” - Mahatma Gandhi

     Of all the sacred books of yoga wisdom, the Bhagavad-Gita is by far the most widely read and influential. Its
     impact radiates through all the traditions of Eastern spirituality. Illuminating how the conditioned mind is
     distracted and colored by attachment, fear, and anger, the Bhagavad-Gita provides a way of purifying the mind.
     Krishna speaks to Arjuna of a progression through five stages of spiritual evolution: duty, knowledge, wisdom,
     absorption, and love.
     In this workshop you will:
     • Learn to become a true mystic in the midst of worldly responsibilities
     • Deepen your knowledge and experience of yoga’s wisdom “off the mat”
     • Receive practical guidance for a steady, peaceful mind in our modern world of distraction
     • Penetrate vague approaches to Eastern thought through clear and practical mysticism
     • Reflect on the Gita’s wisdom in your daily life

"Even though we may forget our vows 10,000 times, come, come
whoever you are… begin again and again." – Rumi

Our human nature is to forget, to fall asleep, to fall off the wagon. How do we create meaningful pathways
of remembrance: of God, of our values and dreams, of intent and heart? In days of old, spiritual leaders were
known to travel with triptychs and other religious items that would anchor and remind them of what they
hold dear.
In the beloved container of the sangha, this creative, spiritual workshop will allow you to
•   Create your own sweet, portable altar small enough to carry in your backpack or purse, or to take on
    travel abroad
•   Design your altar in community as a lovely practice of deep inner listening as we weave in ritual, inner work,
    and creative processes

Suggested Offering: $20

In this highly experiential monthly gathering, we delve into the heart of shamanism with ancient shamanic
practices, journeys, teachings, sharing, and community. And we learn to apply this esoteric and ancient
wisdom for our own healing, empowerment, and sense of life purpose. This rich work will involve journeys into
ourselves, our pasts, and our futures. We will become acquainted with spirit allies and forces, navigate through
expanded landscapes designed to open the heart, begin to remove obstacles that are in the way of our greater
expression and potential, retrieve lost soul parts or vital essence, and merge with the loving interconnectivity
and healing properties of nature, the elements, psyche, and spirit. Come, explore, and meet like-minded
others.
The One Spirit Shamanic Circle is completely donation-based. Proceeds will go to One Spirit Learning
Alliance and The Olympic Mountain EarthWisdom Circle (OMEC). OMEC's mission is to encourage a sacred
and responsible relationship with the Earth and to preserve the ancient wisdom ways of indigenous shamanic
people.
