Queen of the Distant Essential
Oils, Lands Forgotten, Unearthed, Brought Back to Life by Daria Romaniello
According to the translation of
ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians were using extracted oils from plants for
healing thousands of years before Christ. This makes essential oils the earliest known medicine. Highly revered, the Pharaohs
of ancient Egypt routinely exchanged Blue Lotus Oil with the kings of India for slaves, gold and other precious goods. And
so it is, essential oils were at one time in history considered more valuable than gold. The Egyptians created fragrances
for personal use as well as for ritualistic and ceremonial use in temples and pyramids. According to the earliest historical
records available, they used balsamic substances with aromatic properties for medicine. Egyptian high priests used fragrances
for opening the subconscious mind and increasing their ability to communicate with the spirit world. SATURDAY 4:00pm - 6:00pm

Creating Prayer Flags with Patricia
Kambitsch
For thousands of years,
humans have been painting colorful cloths decorated with sacred symbols and hoisting them high in the air. In the Tibetan
tradition, prayers are blown by the wind, spreading good will to all in the surrounding space. In this session, we will
create prayer flags by decorating colorful fabric panels with painted personal symbols of good fortune, health, compassion,
and strength for ourselves, the land, and for our island community. A ritual flag raising, intended to bless the land,
air, water and living things on the island, will close the session. Participants will leave with a prayer flag of their
own creation.SUNDAY: 12:00pm - 2:00pm

A Tool for Transformation
and Healing |
Mandala: A Tool for Transformation & Healing by Linda Kaban
Mandala means sacred circle. The
Tibetans and Navajo Indians create mandalas out of sand which are used in spiritual rituals and then swept away to honor the
impermanence of life. It is an ancient tool used by cultures the world over to aid in quieting our 'monkey' minds
and help focus our attention on the here and now. In our workshop we will create a mandala using colored pencils, black ink,
or sand, as intricate or as simple as your spirit moves you. Afterwards we can participate in a circle where everyone will
be given a chance to share their experience of creating a physical expression of their inner journey. SUNDAY 4:00PM - 6:00PM
