Beheading:A Celtic Ceremony of Service 
October 31, 2013
6:00-10:00 pm at Hidden Lake
Experience at a visceral level the true altruism of shamanic service.
We will embark on a celtic ceremony where we will be helping to alleviate suffering in the world. This ceremony was brought to us by Tom Cowan, Celtic Shaman/Poet, and is a powerful demonstration and embodiment of how the shaman puts her/him self on the line on behalf of helping the world.
All ceremonial participants must be able to be present and ready for ceremony by 6 pm, as there are several steps to this ceremony and all are needed to complete the initiation.
Suggested donation: $25.
Please RSVP to lauri@shamanicsoundhealing.com by Oct 28.
Hi Lauri,
I loved hearing about your discovery of the star-nations existing upon the earth as stone.
The power of healing you received in the time leading up to, during, and after your quest,
I find ‘quickens’ my spirit as well. I feel an awakening occurring in myself even as you share from your own experience.
My sense has always been that Stone, infused by the energy of the star-nations, has provided a profound source of juice upon the earth, even in solidified form. i.e. stone henge, the pyramids, etc. How exhilarating and expansive it must be for you to receive such an energy hit from this raw,natural,and primal formation.
Having been blessed to be in the presence of your own during Lodge Ceremonies, I am abundantly clear of your sacred tie with both stone and sound.
Standing on the edge of lava flowing into the sea, I have witnessed the creation of new earth. I have a clear picture of Pele revealing herself in that moment of time. Let me know if you ever would like to see it.
Walking across the caldera of Mt. Kilauea on the Big Island of Hawaii, the spirit of the fire element rushed beneath my feet, pulsing through my energy field, forever altering my state of being.
Sitting alone, at least not in the company of another human, at 3:00 A.M. before a fire-place made from a wall of stone in the Volcano House Lodge, resting upon the edge of an active volcano, I was transfixed. The fire-place has been continuously burning, never without flame, during the many decades since the lodge was first built.
My most intimate memory with the beautiful element of fire, was the journey allowing me into the heart of the grand-mother stones. These sacred stones which found their way from the shelf of Crater Lake into the sacred circle at Hidden Lake retreat to be used during Lodge Ceremony.
During the time of our last Summer Solstice, while standing in the circle outside, waiting to enter the womb, the fire shot an ember, as though with force and intention. It took a fast and direct path landing on the exposed skin of my heart. It was as though I was being initiated into the element of fire. More, I am sure, will be revealed.
On another note… I would like to be present for the Beheading Ceremony on the 31st if that is alright. If so….what is appropriate for me to bring. If not, I understand that it is not yet my time. Please let me know.
With expanding heart,
Tom
p.s. Please convey my greetings to Judith.
Again with Love,
Tom
