-----------add 2.5 hour seminar:
2A. Mystical Nature Shamanic JourneyPay attention to signs, symbols and helper spirits in this seminar in Nature. Shamanism is the worlds' oldest form of communion with Source and is based on a deep, living relation to Nature and inner pathway seer skills. Wild beings, trees, canyons, streams have an energy field--a kind of consciousness--that we can connect with for healing, guidance, new viality and to help ground spiritual awareness.
You will experience a series of inner journeys to connect with medicine animals, ancestral helper spirits, tree wisdom and more for personal insight. Sandra mentors you and offers intuitive insights based on decades of direct experience. Perhaps you will know a moment of "ecstatic union," a profound portal you carry with you always.
As time allows we will do nature practices such as divining walk, tree connection experiences and include advice on how to connect with spirit helpers in lucid dreaming. I will also offer some suggestions of ceremonies, and ways to connect with other places in the area you might want to do on your own.

Guest comments:
"Everyone on the tour really enjoyed themselves. .. We all left the tour feeling charged and we have you to thank for that. I feel very blessed to have had a chance to meet you and I feel that meeting you was not coincidental. You helped guide me to my purpose there in Sedona for this visit" April, 2004
"Not only was this journey informative, but I had a sense of stepping into a different world. Something seemed to be more alive in a different way. Just like Native Americans recognize sacred places that are doorways into the spirit world--this was essentially a doorway into myself. The place speaks and there's such a strong presence of not only the ancient history of the earth but the ancient peoples who lived here too. I began to be drawn to my own deeper ancestral connections."
M.B., Adelaid, Austrailia"We had an absolutely awesome trip and Sandra was phenomenal.
She took us places and gave us info and tips that made our pilgrimage even more spiritually beneficial."
Niki, Canada, May, 2008"The tour with you was a totally different experience - it was a connection to the land and the history - it was imprinted on us."
