2013 Events at a Glance:


Shamanic Visions, Drumming and Meditation

Facilitated by Kate Bee Moon

SUMMER SOLSTICE ~
Saturday, June 8, 2013
at the newly restored fire pit / medicine wheel 

6 pm - 8 pm
(If you don't wish to sit directly on the ground we suggest you bring a blanket or pad).

Our Journey Circle of June is meeting earlier than usual, in the month... June 8th!
Let's Drum in that Summertime Feel and Set intentions for the upcoming Solstice energies. What do you desire to clear away & weed out, to be able to grow & SHINE FORTH more brilliantly?
We'll convene near the Yoga Loft and gravitate our circle ...& drum around the newly created and sacredly designed FIREPIT.

Connecting with Totem Animals and Guiding Spirits...
... Through the Rhythm of the Drum, our Native American land ancestors have taught us that we find our peace within, align with graceful and most high visions, delve into deep mind & connect to spiritual healing for the Self & the collective during Shamanic Journey work, Drumming & Meditation ...

The Journey Circle brings the Community aspect, offering support, sharing and inspiration with each other about our visions within our Journey ..... we ask questions, we share insights about and for the visions which reveal in Journey work ...

Please bring a Drum, a percussive object, Sacred Instrument, or Rattle, if you have one!
(No professional drumming skills nor a drum are required to participate, just come along and bring a friend to build community!)

Robin O'Hagan

has had a lifetime of Spirits  trying to connect with her. About 3 years ago she decided to learn how to  connect back with the other side. This is where Robin found her true  calling.  Spirit Whispers for your Souls Journey  was then created.

During Robin's readings, any of her abilities can  come into play. Robin possesses Clairvoyance (seeing Spirit), Clairsentience  (feeling emotional or physical symptoms of Spirit),   Clairaudience (hearing Spirit), Claircognizance (seeing an event or chain  of events before they happen). 

Robin shares all that is shown to her, all that  she sees and feels. She makes you feel as you are experiencing the same things  she is.

If you have a drum or rattle, please bring along to the circle, as we will all participate, in the rhythm making!

2011 Past Events

Picture
Jim Wilson (Left), Stonehedge board member and Watershed Specialist for Northampton County led three rain barrel workshops with the help of the Saucon Creek Watershed Association on May 14, 2011 in the Summer House at the gardens. Yuengling Brewery generously donated 21 barrels for the workshop - perfect for rain barrels. The instructors helped participants install the plumbing fittings to make the barrels ready for rain water collection. The total cost of the workshop was just $35 which included instruction, hardware and even snacks of juice, fruit and yogart. Plus each participant walked away with their very own rain barrel ready for use. If you are interested in participating in our next work shop (date to be determined).

(Top Right) Stonehedge Board members shown with Saucon Creek Watershed Assoc members and participants at the last of three workshops.
