With Brad and Kate Silberberg. Suggested donation: $10 Mar 7: Introduction to Send Back Technique™. Friday, 7-10pm. Your unconscious internal beliefs are the basis of your "internal operating system". They run your physical body systems and rule your behavior, thoughts, perceptions, and emotions. If negative in nature, they will bring you pain and negative life outcomes without you ever knowing why. Some beliefs have been taught to you or have come through your own life experience, but others have been passed down to you through your ancestry, nestled in your DNA. Born right at The Mesa Healing Center, Send Back Technique™ is a method of finding and releasing life-limiting beliefs held on the mind/body level that cause us to live in fear, uncertainty, and resistance to the flow of Life while replacing them, one for one, with life-affirming ones that are in alignment with the wisdom and knowing of our Soul. This is done by healing with, for, and through your entire ancestral line— all the way back through your first caveman ancestors. It literally sends healing to the Souls of your ancestors, no matter where they may reside. This healing then comes forward to you through the tiny physical bits of your ancestors that you carry with you every day-- your DNA! Swap negative patterns and beliefs for positive ones with the love and help of your ancestors. With Brad and Kate Silberberg. Fee: $30. Included in this workshop:

Mar 22: Make a Mobile. Saturday, 1-4pm. Moving mobiles are one way to bring the energy of movement to any room, improving the flow of Life Force. They’re also fun to watch and easy to make.

We’ll even help you with drawing the shapes you want to use. With Brad and Kate Silberberg. Fee: $45 Mar 25: Drawing and Forgiving. Tuesday, 7-9:30pm. One big reason people have trouble learning to draw is because they are unable to forgive themselves for making "mistakes". Once they draw that first line that looks out of place to them, they begin to criticize themselves and stop drawing. Some people are so "gun shy" about making a mistake that they would rather stifle their creative energy than risk one little "oops!". In this workshop we’ll talk about whether or not we are actually forgiving ourselves and why we might not be. Then we’ll learn to draw! With Kate and Brad Silberberg. Fee: $25 Mar 26: Mediation Circle. Every Wednesday, 7-8:30pm. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. Relax, de-stress, and experience healing and expansion through guided meditation. Raise your vibrational level and expand your awareness of your awareness.

Mar 27: The Humpty Dumpty Syndrome: Picking Up the Pieces and Putting Yourself Back Together Again. Thursday, 7-9:30pm. The story of Humpty Dumpty offers a beautiful metaphor for us to learn about self-knowledge and the importance of being present. When Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall, he broke into pieces and (as often happens to us in life) no one could put him back together again, as the power to put ourselves together again rests only in our own hands. This class explores our perceptions, the meanings we give to events and people’s actions, and how sometimes we feel we are in pieces and desperately need to look for help from the outside. We will learn a powerful meditation to connect with our Inner Healer and allow love and forgiveness to materialize, finding pathways that lead us to our inner power to heal and make ourselves whole again. With Rosa M. Gamarra-Thomson, M.Ed., M.A. Cost: $30. Must RSVP 724-947-3097 or email.

We will be learning traditional songs, listening to stories and just spending time together. Donations appreciated.
The Peace Shield Bundle was opened in early 1996 in a special ceremony in Taos, New Mexico to begin the sacred mission of the Peace Shield. Contained within the bundle is a sacred prayer pipe and a large elk hide upon which the Peace Shield is drawn. The "Seven Fire Prophecy" of the Anishinabe (Ojibwa) tribe foretold of this time to the ancient people. Seven prophets spoke of seven Fires, spiritual chapters or ages, and described things which would happen to the people during these times. In the 1970's we entered into the Seventh Fire. The Seventh Prophet said, among other things, that native ways would be honored and the elders would once again speak. Also, the light skinned race would be given a choice between two roads, to continue traveling the road of destruction or to choose the road leading to the lighting of the Eighth and final fire, an age of peace, love, joy and oneness. Now that the Seventh Fire of the Anishinabe/Ojibwa traditions has been lit, Rainbow Eagle is responsible for teaching the traditions of the peace shield. At this time, all of the traditional wisdom and truths which he has been given are to be placed into this Peace Shield to increase its power and restore peace on our Mother Earth..

Great teachers have inspired him to travel and teach, his "thing" being to work with the planet as he provides details for Earth work and worship from the perspective of the mystic and seer of inner worlds. Ken has led ceremonies around the world, at places as diverse as Easter Island, Peru, Ireland, Egypt, England, Hawaii, and across the United States.

May 29: Introduction to Send Back Technique™. Friday, 7-10pm. Your unconscious internal beliefs are the basis of your "internal operating system". They run your physical body systems and rule your behavior, thoughts, perceptions, and emotions. If negative in nature, they will bring you pain and negative life outcomes without you ever knowing why. Some beliefs have been taught to you or have come through your own life experience, but others have been passed down to you through your ancestry, nestled in your DNA. Born right at The Mesa Healing Center, Send Back Technique™ is a method of finding and releasing life-limiting beliefs held on the mind/body level that cause us to live in fear, uncertainty, and resistance to the flow of Life while replacing them, one for one, with life-affirming ones that are in alignment with the wisdom and knowing of our Soul. This is done by healing with, for, and through your entire ancestral line— all the way back through your first caveman ancestors. It literally sends healing to the Souls of your ancestors, no matter where they may reside. This healing then comes forward to you through the tiny physical bits of your ancestors that you carry with you every day-- your DNA! Swap negative patterns and beliefs for positive ones with the love and help of your ancestors. With Brad and Kate Silberberg. Fee: $30. Included in this workshop:
