A Soaring-Year as Galactic Shaman

Posted on July 24, 2015 by Denise

A forest-walk morning in Mt. Shasta with so much fun faery energy

Just as once I shimmied onto the skinny branches of love and relating,  now I do so in my Cosmic Galactic Shaman Sky Dance. Last August, Tim Glenn offered me a solar return reading (these are a great way to look at emerging themes each year around birthdays). In my reading, Tim said that this would be my year of coming into BEing as Galactic Shaman.

That sounds really cool, but what the heck is a Galactic Shaman?

Tim explained how my shamanic tradition and practices helped me to connect with the Earth in new ways. Now I would be free to open my consciousness to the stars.

Several Deer visited me during morning walk, and this one circled back around to see me one more time. I also had several visits from Hummingbird and one from Fox.

What is a Galactic Shaman?

I found this definition on-line:

A Galactic Shaman is one who experiences Earth, the Solar System and the Galaxy, as All existing within. This is a state of awareness that allows one to feel and live in an expanded (galactic) reality.  This reality permeates and interpenetrates this dimension and encompasses the dimensional realms where matter exists in a state of (sub-atomic) potential. The Galactic Shaman is an archetype for ‘Consciousness’ made manifest, or ‘Consciousness’ transforming from “form” back to energy.  Their purpose is to provide an alchemical anchor…assisting and enabling humanity and the Universe in the evolutionary process of constant transformation of Soul Consciousness in the physical/non-physical realms.

Is it just me, or does this imply some mighty big boots? In a metaphor that Tim Glenn uses often, I felt like the new little strawberry, green and trembling on the vine, wondering how on earth I would ever figure out how to turn red. But that little strawberry doesn’t need to know. It just happens. It’s evolutionary!

So I trusted. I opened up to guidance. And I lucked out. Continue reading →

Sage Spirit Community Open House: A Celebration of Life, Love, Joy & our Dance with Spirit

Posted on July 17, 2015 by Denise

salt bath

The tipi project evolves at its own divine pace, with much muscle-work from Beloved Dana. Hopefully we will be gathered there by the end of August to enjoy Sacred Circle. My vision for the tipi involves “love in concentric circles,” with all the yumminess of our gatherings flowing outward into the world and contributing to the healing of All-That-Is. I am so ready to share with you… to sing, dance, drum, bless, laugh, embrace joy and tears, learn, smoke the people’s prayers with the Sacred Lakota Pipe that was gifted to me, and so much more.

With the new office space, I’m dreaming and visioning all kinds of new ways to gather in community, and to strengthen and support ourselves and one another as we continue to evolve in consciousness. I went back through my blog to look at a couple of posts that I remember as providing a framework for my vision on what community means for me and how to show up. As you know, my desire is to foster community where we are all leaders and wisdomkeepers, rather than having me BE sage-on-the-stage.

You may click here to revisit, “Beyond ‘Woundology’ and into the Hero’s Journey, in Community.”

You may click here to revisit, “Community and Evolution.”

And now… for a special invitation to those in the Reno/Sparks/Tahoe area.

Sage Spirit Community Open House: A Celebration of Life, Love, Joy & our Dance with Spirit

Join us on Wednesday, August 12 from 5:30 to 7:30 to celebrate our expanding Sage Spirit Community. We have so many wonder-filled angels who grace our gatherings and events, plus we have a beautiful new space to gather, our “treehouse” at 888 West Second Street, Suite 307, in Reno, Nevada.

We will offer snacks, beverages, music, ceremony, and drawings for gifts, all amongst a gathering of earth angels. The grand prize in our drawing will be a six-session package of “Conscious Evolution Coaching with Shamanic Reiki Sessions for Life Change,” valued at $900. Our drawing will be held at 7:00pm. Please be present to win and to meet our contributors.

I welcome members of our community to show up as wisdomkeepers, leaders and givers. Please contact me if you would like to offer:

  • A drawing prize (service certificate, gift bag, etc.) that represents your business (you would have a couple of minutes to share about yourself as you offer your prize)
  • A musical offering (acoustic guitar, singing bowls, or other gentle sounds that allow for conversation)
  • Snacks, desserts or beverages
  • Other ideas?

Please RSVP by August 7. If you have any questions, contact me at denise@sagespiritcoaching.com, through facebook private message, or by cell phone (775.240.0814).

Sage Spirit Community – Space Sharing

Spiritual Shopping Muse, Life Coach & Reiki Practitioner, Coral Wilcox, and me enjoying a purple rug of divine texture and whimsical spirit that she found out and about.

Much of June became dominated by office seeking, leasing, and furnishing. I have to say that the process felt so divinely guided, even though there were stressful moments and more than a wee sense of urgency much of the time. I am so delighted by how it unfolded and what I created there, with much help from others who showed up in such supportive ways. I can hardly believe that I have the equivalent of the top-floor, corner office to inhabit and to share. Plus the space feels like a tree-house with the energies of the river nearby. We still have some final touches and art to place, but here are a few pictures for you to enjoy: Continue reading →

All or Nothing

Posted on June 4, 2015 by Denise

Wisdom is knowing I am nothing. Love is knowing I am everything.

And in between the two my life moves. ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj

The divergence and/or integration of soul-path and personality has been a theme that’s been really potent and prevalent lately in client sessions and in my life as well. Sometimes we call these the higher- or enlightened-self and the survival- or ego-self. More often than not, when we bring in the word “ego,” things get ugly. I mean, we go all ugly on ourselves when we think we’re in ego-mode. One friend articulated it as a war raging within as ego and higher-self battle for dominion. Continue reading →

Reiki Levels I & II Certification – Sacred Reiki Weekend Retreat

Posted on June 4, 2015 by Denise

Will you let your light expand? Showing up for your own healing and offering
healing energies to others contributes to the healing of all-that-is.

What do I love most about summer? Warmth, sunshine, nature, camping, hiking, reading, relaxing… so many things! When I can build all or most of these things into a day or weekend, I am a most happy camper. We’re now planning our second annual Sacred Reiki Weekend Retreat for Professional Certification in Levels I & II on July 24-26, 2015. We’re gathering at our Beautiful OdaBe Acres, which we adore sharing in community. We’ll have time in nature, plenty of ceremony, yummy- healthy cuisine, special healing tools in our gift package and so much more as you can see below. If all goes well, we’ll also have a wonder-filled, ceremonial tipi hideout! We can accommodate out-of-town guests with our extra camping gear, but let us know as our gear and training space is somewhat limited. If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to ask. We hope you join us!

Six Magickal Years!

Posted on June 1, 2015 by Denise

SageSpiritLOGO[1]

Today we celebrate six magickal years of Sage Spirit Coaching & Reiki. It began with a subtle intuition way back in 2007 that my career would end, that my life would change. I thought:

What would I want to create that would be more fitting with my becoming?

I attended coach certification training to add to my Reiki training. I began spontaneously to dream and vision components of my business. I wrote. I planned. I prepared. I healed myself and my life, bit by bit.

Six years ago yesterday, I was laid-off from a federal program we ran through the University when it became unfunded. Six years ago today, Sage Spirit was birthed into BEing. Each day of my life since has been more magickal than the day before. There have been many moments of fear, questioning and scarcity along with the wonder, joy and love. At the end of the day, was it worth it? Heck ya!

I celebrate today, but more importantly, I wish to express a deep appreciation for all of you who bring your sageness and spirit into this blessed community. Some of you are students, some clients, some collaborative partners, some teachers, some voyeurs and all beloved friends. Regardless of your path, the light all of you bring to my world truly fills my joyful fountain each and every day.

Our community has grown stronger, more beautiful and more bountiful through the years. The way that this community has come together has surpassed all of my expectations from those early days. In fact, you all surprise me so much, in so many ways. What I love is being witness to so much transformation for all of us. I know our energies spread into the world in concentric circles that enlighten all-that-is. My heart is so full in this moment that I am literally bursting. I love you all soo soo soo much.

What is your dream? Your vision?

What soul-expression longs to be birthed through you?

I shower you with blessings and love.

Power Animals

Posted on May 25, 2015 by Denise

Today’s blog topic is “power animals,” but before we journey there, I will share a little update on our community events (or you can scroll down to get to the part about animals). For those who don’t know, our Sacred Reiki Healing Circles offer opportunities to wrap ourselves in community love and wisdom, sharing a mini-workshop on a topic of interest, a Reiki/prayer blessing circle, potluck, and shamanic fire ceremony to empower our dreams and goals, while shedding any patterns that no longer serve our spirits. If you haven’t already joined us for one of these at OdaBe (north of Reno), we welcome you to this beautiful expression of mind, body and spirit-nurturing. Our next one will be on Sunday, June 14. If all goes well, we will be integrating our tipi into the Spirit of Sages who join us. The poles haven’t shipped, though we’ve had the actual tipi and liner for a couple of weeks now.

Please Please Please Poles! Come and BE with us!

We have Reiki II on Saturday, June 6 and again on Monday, June 8. If you’re ready to take your Reiki practice to the next level or come for a refresher, we welcome you to join us! We’ll also have summer Reiki I & II workshops in the tipi, so stay tuned for dates for that.

And, of course, there’s this, and then onto our power animals…

 

Wedding Bells & Bliss

 

Power Animals

Retrieving a power animal will connect you to your natural, unspoiled state – without these resources, it’s easy to overintellectualize the journeying process. Your animal will ground you in your instinctual self, and you can embody its teachings by communicating with it and learning its rhythms, movements, and way of perceiving the world. ~ Alberto Villoldo

In May’s Sacred Reiki Healing Circle, we included the theme of “power animals,” sharing so many wonderful stories. Collectively, we’ve enjoyed such varied and powerful experiences with the help of our power animals. One thing really stood out for me as remarkable. As we explored our expectations for our discovery that day, so many themes emerged offering pathways to the depths of the human soul-path and psyche. No matter the intentions stated, the journey I shared to help everyone to meet their power animals matched perfectly those intentions. It felt so magical, and I’m grateful to all those who joined us that afternoon and evening. We began by asking these questions: Continue reading →

White Star Manna Reiki

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Denise

Samarah and the Masters Invite You to Experience

White Star Manna Reiki

Reno, Nevada

This workshop will be rescheduled for fall 2015 or the beginning of 2016

Harmony Visions Sacred Circle

What new glory might we each embody if we activate our Soul Star Chakra and invite the Star Energies to Transform and Transmute our cells?

Sage Spirit is delighted and honored to sponsor this White Star Manna Reiki Workshop offered by Samarah, traveling all the way from Arizona just to share this very special Reiki wisdom that she’s channeled through the years with the help of Ascended Masters and Archangels. This is completely different from the Reiki Certification Workshops that I offer, and it’s an oh-so-magical, delightful gift to the spirit. Whether you are a Reiki Practitioner or Master or someone very committed to your spiritual journey and curious about the inner workings of our Ascended Masters and Angels, this will be a treat for your soul. You will positively float away in a sea of bliss by the end of the weekend, or at least, that was truly my experience after Manna Reiki last year. You will see the same reflected in a testimonial at the bottom of this post. Not only that, but so much of what I and others set into motion last year in Samarah’s workshop has dreamed-into-being in physical form so much more quickly than I would have imagined. I am finally getting out of my own way! I am truly excited to experience this magic once more and to move my manifestation and creation to the next level… with ease and grace of course!

See below for more information if this sounds awesome to you.

***

White Star Manna Reiki is the latest offering given to Samarah by the Ascended Masters and Star Beings. Building on the foundation of Usui Reiki which activates the light body and allows for the transmission of light; Manna Reiki deepens the alignment of your head, heart and hands, through the energies of Mother Mary and Archangels Michael and Metatron.  Until now, the Star Body alignment has only been offered as a 1-1 experience.  This new workshop allows for the Star Connection to be made, infusing the Reiki filled light body with the Star Energies as the Soul Star Chakra is opened.

Lynx and Secrets, Lies & Shadow

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Denise

Our shadows hold the essence of who we are. They hold our most treasured gifts. By facing these aspects of ourselves, we become free to experience our glorious totality: the good and the bad, the dark and the light. It is by embracing all of who we are that we earn the freedom to choose what we do in this world. As long as we keep hiding, masquerading, and projecting what is inside us, we have no freedom to be and no freedom to choose… [Shadows] are only harmful when they are repressed: then they can pop up at the least opportune times. Their sneak attacks will handicap you in the areas of your life that mean the most. ~ Debbie Ford

From Jamie Sams & David Carson's Medicine Cards

From Jamie Sams & David Carson’s Medicine Cards

Shadow work requires enduring courage and a willingness to see. Lynx medicine shares the gift of seeing deeply into the secrets, lies and shadows present in our experience. At times, we may feel cast out to a sea of uncertainty when we and/or others we love engage in the shadow-discovery (or shadow denial) dance. Fears fears fears lie on the sea bed, stirred up and eager to swallow us like the hungry tide.  I see all this fear-awareness as a gift for further excavation and release. What we courageously embrace for our own shadow-healing serves the wholeness of us All. It’s such a gift to be on this path of consciousness, even if the highs and lows feel tumultuous at times.

More news! More change! More transformation!

Posted on April 28, 2015 by Denise

Harmony Visions Sacred Circle

Once upon a time, I resisted or slowed the pace of change in my life in order to preserve what little sense of grounding I tend to have. I think I’m getting better at maintaining my center even as I allow my life’s currents to have their way with me. By letting go of my illusion of control (though I am nowhere near “cured”), I am finding that manifestation is occurring more powerfully and more quickly. I celebrate many things, feeling freer than ever from my humble little fear-programs. Yay! Continue reading →
