REWILD YOUR MIND
The Supernatural Power of Your True Nature
Jonathan Hammond Course 2102-892/Tuition $450/400/300 ($360 Members) SS
Quantum physics tells us that “our thoughts create reality.” This means that our current social, political, and ecological crisis, as well as the negative dynamics in our own personal lives, are all first born of our thoughts.
But there is an ancient and magical mind that we can learn to adopt for ourselves that creates new thoughts and new realities.
In this provocative and experiential workshop, you learn a nature-based psychology of the shamans and the natural alchemists—a specific way of seeing the world that opens you to personal power, supernatural connection, energetic attunement, sensual embodiment, and a re-enchantment with natural world.
We weave Indigenous wisdom, magical practice, modern psychology, ecological knowledge, Goddess spirituality, and sexual polarity to usher in a new and wild consciousness that can change the world.
This workshop may not be appropriate for minors or anyone with unresolved sexual trauma.
Jonathan Hammond is a Maui-based author, spiritual teacher and counselor, and mystic. He has taught shamanism, spirituality, energy healing, psychology, and Huna and has worked alongside shamans on three continents. jonathanhammond.com

JUNE 13–15 STORYTELLING FOR LGBTQ PRIDE
Owning Your Self-Worth & Sharing Your Experience
Kevin Allison
Course 2102-981/Tuition $430/380/280 ($340 Members)
Sharing our stories can be a creative form of self-care, a way to meditate back on our most meaningful life experiences. It is a moving and memorable way for the LGBTQ community to connect with one another and be heard and esteemed by others. Personal storytelling is also a fun, feel-good way to make new friends and celebrate our uniqueness.
Throughout the weekend, we work on at least two di erent stories. The first touches on any sort of experience that brings to mind the term “coming out.” The second explores the surprising elements within our individual experience of queerness. Together, we engage in icebreakers to get our stories started, learn practical tips for bringing stories to life, share in pairs and small groups, and o er and receive supportive feedback.
All levels of experience are welcome. No prior public speaking or storycrafting is required.
