WWTN #24 -- What it Means to BEE: Info, Updates and Healing

Hello beautiful souls,

I wanted to update you on Wolf Wisdom goings-on!

Spider Workshop will be coming up again at the end of the month--October 28th, in fact--and we have caught many things in our golden web that will lead up to that workshop.

First of all, the Grand Opening of the Life Force Arts Center is happening mid-month! We are very pleased that due to the spiritual inspiration and earthly diligence of shaman Joan Forest Mage and all her helpers, she has birthed Chicago's new shamanic center, to open October 15th. This is a center for Shamanic and Spiritual Art and Education, smack dab in the middle of the windy city, on Lincoln, near the corner of Lincoln, Ashland and Belmont. 3148 N. Lincoln, to be exact! Amazing events are being scheduled to celebrate the center's Grand Opening Week, October 18-24! Events TBA. I am on the literary arts committee for the center, and I will also be co-managing the center along with Joan Forest Mage and Kate Niklasson.

Another fabulous turn of events is that the beautiful Wild Tree Cafe in Evanston, where I have had the lovely opportunity to work a couple shifts a week for the past several months, is growing from just a beautiful cafe in to an amazing center where there will be workshops and creative events of many kinds, inspiring healing and growth, spontaneity and joy!

And starting Monday, October 13, I will be teaching a weekly workshop entitled:

Creating Your Healing Space

(Within You and Around You)

A weekly workshop at Wild Tree Cafe, 1100 Davis, Evanston, IL 60201

Mondays from 6:30pm-9pm (starting October 13th)

New topic each week!

$23

I will be sending out more info on that workshop as well.


For some time now, clients have been asking me when I will start teaching Healing Classes (for people interested in becoming healers). I have also received email inquiries regarding my practice to this effect. I listen, and take seriously what I hear. After an incubation period and a deepening of the concept, I am now offering:

Individual Star-Healing Classes:

To Awaken the Healer Within

$200

Series of 4 classes, 2 hours each

Location: Wolf Wisdom Studio

I will be working with my students on an individual basis, rather than in a setting where there are several students at a time. After looking in to it energetically and talking with my guides, I see that the people who come to me are all very different stylistically--yet most of them have in common the desire to awaken and work with their inner-healer, perhaps even at a professional level. I feel I can benefit my students most by working one-on-one with them to bring out their unique healing voice. This is not a certification course, but rather a course to learn how you personally heal yourself and others, and to be able to stand in the power of your healing-self. Email me for more information at wolfwisdomhealing@gmail.com


Spider, my teacher, has been working with me as we compile the Star-Awakening Doctrine. More to come on that!


Ah yes, and if you haven't already, please check out samples of my shamanic sound healing pieces here: www.myspace.com/starsoundhealing

The group is getting together to plan a format of how we will be offering Sound Healing as a service. More to come!


And so we come to the source of the thread, the wide golden web, woven to catch all these precious star droplets. As the stars nurture me, I send it back out in to the Universe. Fabulous, fabulous!

Spider Workshop

Tuesday October 28th, 7-9:30pm

Wolf Wisdom Studio

$45 for first time attendees

$20 for returning Spider Workshop attendees

I will be sending out individual notices too of each above-mentioned event--but there was so much in the web all at once, I first wanted to cast it as One.

Love and Peace,
Jen

...

BEE HEALING

Oh yes, and today, about 1 year after Bee first came to me to request a healing during last year's shamanic performance-art piece, Bee came requesting more healing and to spread the word--so if you would take a few moments to cast healings and blessings for the Bee community as they settle down for the fall, they will be able to process all of our love and energy while they sleep through the coming cold. Please pass this on to all you possibly can, so many may join in the Healing for the Bee community.

WWTN #20 -- How I Met Nessie the Alligator

Hello all, It has taken me some time to digest my amazing experience meeting Nessie the Alligator.

Many pieces have come together in my life because of our meeting. A part of me has returned.

My heart continues to heal.

So many people have asked about this meeting of the souls.

I needed to let it simmer and brew in to an informational article that I could post, literally, for all the world to see--including you!

And here it is: http://hubpages.com/hub/Animals-as-Healers

Please read, respond, enjoy; and thank you all so much for your overwhelming response to the pictures of me and Nessie hugging.

WWTN #16 -- Simplicity is Magical; Magic is Simple

I define magic as anything that is extraordinary.

Notice I did not say "out of the ordinary"--but Extra Ordinary. Magic is as simple as it gets. It is what existed before anything could exist.

Magic is the solid base on which all is founded. It is all around us--Extra Ordinary--so ordinary in fact, that it slips by the vision of many folks.

A lot of us are often looking for magic in places beyond the here and now--beyond every day existence. It is found there, of course.

But most importantly, earth-dwellers, wearers of bodies, Magic is found here. It is inside of us, around us, it supports us and drives us.

Plumbing is magic. How water comes out of that little spout and cleans our belongings and our earthly vessels.

How poetry comes out of the pens that those bodies empty enough to be channels can produce.

How feet move one in front of the other, how a spine keeps it all aligned.

How an eye sees the basket, and the ball goes whoosh. Magic.

And for those of you who want a proven example that magic is infiltrating our lives at the base of every subject, take a look at this little math problem:

111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321

Magic is not random, but, like numbers, it is a core part of our every day existence. Magic is no accident.

Simply put, magic is here to stay.

WWTN # 13 - Manifesting

Aha! The lucky 13th transformational newsletter! ...

I had/have/am finishing up a full-time job at Northwestern University Library.

I have worked in libraries all my life, because I love the people who work in libraries.

I have been working on and building on my healing abilities since 1996, and I have a healing practice.

I realized it was time to move on from the job and concentrate on my healing practice, but I was allowing other people's fears (the fears of people in my life that I am close to) to get in the way of me taking the "leap" out of the library, and just to trust that my practice plus my creative editing business will carry me and will bring in earnings that I can live on.

So, I went the "safer" route of moving out of my full-time job in to a part-time job that was more in my realm of talents--in a Behavioral Optometrist's office, where I was being trained to be a vision therapist for a variety of patients with different vision issues. Ah, I thought, now this is more like it.

I knew it wasn't going to be forever, and that it wasn't the exact right "forever" thing yet, however the training was helpful for me and I figured I would also be helping people--so good for now at least--right?

So, the doc let me go today. After only about 2 and a half weeks in to the job.

Huh!

He said my own vision problem was getting in the way of me being able to communicate with patients the way the I was supposed to, within the realm of this vision therapy training program.

And you know, I thoroughly agree with him. I do not have the style of communication needed to fit within the realm of that program. I have my own style.

So where does this leave me?

I looked at the situation, right away, with eyes wide open. What was this really all about?

Confidence.

I was using that job as a crutch while I slowly crept out of my secure full-time job which, little by little, was squishing my soul (no offense to the other beautiful souls that work there, who I do love dearly).

I did not, a few weeks ago, have the confidence to just say, You know, I really am a healer, I really have these gifts to offer, and clients are flocking to me in droves!

All of the things I do know about myself but had a hard time admitting (yes, the good things)....these are the things that I can no longer hide. It is not fair to any bosses, nor to myself, for me to hide behind their vision of what a business should be. I have my own vision and ample talents.

I manifest confidence, and that nothing will ever prevent me from admitting what I do well.
In the name of confidence, I move forward.

Thank you for reading!
