Costs:

Energy Exchange for workshop:  Our intent is to use a process of exchange by which all our needs are met, we all feel cared for and our gifts to each other are honored and received.  We call this process “working with the blue pot”.  In the Blue Pot, money is alchemically transformed into “golden water” which flows to heal through sharing, caring, loving, giving and receiving.  (For more about the background of this concept see www.yescarefirst.com.) We invite you to join the circle of sharing by caring for us with your financial (and/or other gifts).

Information on the Presenters:

Gabriella Kapfer:

Gabriella is a sound healer who has developed her own style of sound vibrational healing with cello, voice and hand-crafted singing bowls.  She has lived on Iona for extended periods and travels extensively through Europe and the US, bringing her healing music and work to different parts of the planet.  Gabriella calls forth and co-creates with the elements, the nature-spirits and the angelic realms weaving a tapestry of sound from different dimensions, the consciousness of all present and the Earth – leading listeners into a deep transformative experience and connectedness with nature, life and Source.  She also teaches and works with sacred stone setting, and has a background in psychotherapy and co-creative gardening.  Her background includes co-running a small retreat and healing center in Scotland based on a ‘care-first’ economic model where she developed her sound-healing work, inspired by the mystery school of nature, which surrounded

her.  

Terry Frank:

Terry is a healer and spiritual transformation guide whose primary work is to create a bridge of understanding and partnership between humans and the elemental world of nature spirits, so that we may work together again to bring healing to each other and the Earth.  Terry is a Senior Facilitator for the International Institute for Transformation (founded by Tanis Helliwell, author of Summer With the Leprechauns, Decoding Destiny and Take Your Soul to Work), and a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner who combines 20 years of experience in career transition, life coaching and human resources with energy work and knowledge of the spiritual laws to help people heal and evolve.  She has been given the gift of entering the Elemental Kingdom on the etheric and taking others on the journey to gather the ancient stories of the fairy tribes for today, as well as information for individuals on their relationship to that realm.  Terry is in the process of writing a book called, “Voice of the Fairy Tribes”. 

Margaretta McIlvaine:

Margaretta is an intuitive healer and clairvoyant who assists one to connect with all aspects of their multidimensional selves so that life can be lived and experienced from a larger perspective and a higher frequency. She has learned how to access wisdom directly from the higher planes. Her approach to transformational work combines her formal training at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, The Virginia School of Massage, studies in acupressure, shiatsu, guided imagery, numerous Buddhist retreats, and all levels of Reiki training with her own unique experiences of self-healing and self-transcendence. She is also certified to teach Integral Hatha Yoga. Her love and appreciation of nature inspired her to create Bridge Between The Worlds, a healing retreat center whose mission is to assist others to reconnect with the essence of spirit and intelligence in nature and to recognize the healing power of the elements in the natural world.
