Donna Sica - Singing Bowl Meditations
|
Fourteen years ago, Donna Sica, experienced a Kundalini Awakening, through the "Reconnection". She embarked on a journey of working with and understanding her new gift of "Channeling." 3 months later, she was introduced to the "Chakra Crystal Bowls." Intuitively, she knew, that this chance invite was guiding her to the unfolding of her purpose.
She began offering a meditation in her home, once a week, to a community of twenty. "Our Community realized early on, as we expanded by leaps and bounds, the need for a gathering place whose purpose would be the nourishment of the Soul. September 2010, Soulful Awakenings came into fruition"... "Each time the bowls sing, I sense the opening of others, the joy of connection, and the magnificent expression of vibration and light." Love Is You... |

Ellie - Ceremoniolist ...Life is a Ceremony and Ceremony is Life
Ellie has been a student of Native American...1st Nation People,,, teachings, traditions and ceremonies for about 40 years. She began this journey with her first teacher, Hope McCormick (Mountain Song Woman) and worked with her for 10 years, following the traditions of the Picuris Pueblo tribe. She was introduced to Joseph Rael (Beautiful Painted Arrow) a Picuris Medicine Man through Hope and was honored to sit in circle with him, as well as participate in his visionary dances...The Long Dance and The Feather Dance. She was given her Medicine name ...Medicine Drum Dancer...by Hope. She also learned the ways of the Lakota People attending workshops and participating in ceremonies with 2 Lakota Medicine Women, Deioti and Oshuna. For the past 25 years,she has studied with her teacher, Brant Secunda, in the Huichol traditions. Although the traditions and teachings of all the 1st Nation People vary, they are all based on the teachings of the Medicine Wheel - The Sacred Hoop of Life. "We stand together on the rim of the Sacred Hoop with all of creation...all that walk on Mother Earth, fly in the sky, crawl on the Earth, swim in the waters...all that is above and all that is below. In the center, is the Creator...the Divine...the Source of All Life. There is no beginning and no end to the Circle...it is infinite. We are all connected on the rim and nothing and no one is greater or lesser. The thread of life connects us to each other and that thread connects to the center...many hearts become One." Ellie was given the gift of visioning and brings blessings to all using feathers and the sacred light of the fire. She shares her gifts and connections with all people and animals...honoring all of creation. Aho Mitakuye Oyasin...All My Relations |
