Soul Companions
A Gathering of Contemporary Wisdom-Keepers from Europe and the Americas
November 21 - 23, 2008
Clarion Hotel, Northampton, Massachusetts
A Weekend of Wisdom
Friday evening we open at 7pm with a blessing ceremony, followed by an address by Karen Sawyer, the author of the book, Soul Companions. After these, there will be a panel discussion, during which the weekend's presenters will share inspirational accounts about the ways that their direct encounters with Spirit have guided the direction of their lives. The evening will finish with a session of participatory Sacred Circle Dance led by Rowan (Janet Scott), a wonderful, gentle way to conclude, moving out of our heads and opening to our own connection with Spirit.
Saturday is a full day of classes, ceremonies and workshops with our Wisdom Keepers. We will offer five sessions during the day, beginning at 9:00 am after an early morning yoga class for those who are interested. There will be 2 workshops in the morning with two or three choices during each time slot, a break for lunch, and three more sessions in the afternoon. After another break, those who choose may attend our on-site banquet, where each table will be hosted by one of our presenters. Dinner will be followed by a concert by local recording artist Sarah Stockwell Arthen, who will entertain and entrance us, ushering us once again into the world of dreams.
Sunday we will begin at 9:30 am with two more workshop sessions with the Wisdom Keepers, and at 1:00pm we will close with a final blessing ceremony.
