Adventures in Mystery

Welcome to the POWER of Mystery!

I facilitate mystery retreats and adventures. I help people throw off their limits and live the life they were born to live. My life's purpose is to help you further your life's purpose. The most powerful way that I've found to do that is by helping you to let go of your old story, dive deep within yourself to find your true calling, and surface to share and study your discoveries in sacred circle so that you can return home to transform your life.

                    

The mystery retreats and adventures are like the Chartres Labyrinth. They ease the journey for you and help you keep your focus on your NEW STORY path.

I have a Bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan and 25 years of experience designing, creating, and facilitating transformative workshops and circles. Jean Houston calls me a leader and evocateur. Soleira Green calls me a new visionary. Some of my students call me a shaman, but I think of myself as a midwife to your process. I help you to birth your inner shaman, so that you can take charge of your life and live the life you were born to live in partnership with the Universe.

In 2002, I created Seattle Wisdom School. In 2003, I created a gifting community in Whatcom County called Whatcom Potlatch. Now, at the urging of my mentor, Jean Houston, I am creating Experiencing Mystery Retreats and the yearly European Mystery Adventure.

You don't need me. You can do it on your own with the help of the Universe. All I am is a catalyst to help you keep your focus on what is most important to you, on YOUR joy, on YOUR excitement, onYOUR path. I can help you discover what you want and help you to manifest that in your life.

Mystery Retreats and Adventures

• Transformative Experiencing Mystery Retreats to help you discover, create, and live a new life story by tapping into the power of mystery. These are weekend or six-day retreats in a comfortable rural retreat center such as Peaceful Mountain Retreat Center (www.peacefulmountain.net/gallery.htm). I customize the adventure for you and limit it to 10 participants to maximize individual attention.



• Magical 21-day European Mystery Adventures in September to Western European places of power, wonder, and awe. These are limited to only 4 participants and myself. The small group experience helps everyone feel supported in the container of the circle while we are still free to go anywhere. The 2008 European Mystery Adventure will include these magical places: Damanhur, Glastonbury, the Goetheanum, Chartres, Paris, London, Stonehenge, Avebury, and the Emma Kuntz Grotto.



• Customized Innovative Collaboration Trainings for business teams to help teams tap into the power of mystery through creative activities, circles, song, and dance. We all know that we need to collaborate more effectively, but nobody teaches us how. Instead, while growing up, we're taught how to compete effectively. I address this missing education by providing mystery retreats that help adults learn the power of collaboration experientially in a safe class environment.



• Personalized One-to-One Educational Coaching that includes email conversations and/or one-person or two-person custom workshops that we do at your house. If this is an option you'd like to explore, contact me (kay@dayss.com).



• Facilitated Healing Workshops for people who want to learn easy and fun ways to help their friends, family members, and other loved ones heal their bodies, minds, spirits, and emotions in combination with whatever medical help they are currently getting. All healing is self healing, but you can help by facilitating the self healing process with the permission of the person you're helping. Facilitated healing works because of your love for the person and your intention to help. It is that simple. It is easy to learn, and fun to do. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. Your love will guide you. You don't need to touch the person to do it, and you can even do it from thousands of miles away or in different times because time and space really don't exist. There is only NOW and HERE. We are ONE being exploring many different stories through our local human lives. You can even use these simple healing facilitation techniques with your child self. My approach is an application of Andes Inka energy healing techniques, Mexican Toltec energy healing techniques, and Native American energy healing techniques combined. Facilitated healing is never meant to replace any kind of healing techniques that anyone is using now. Facilitated healing techniques are "in addition to" not "instead of" techniques. If you would like my help in learning how to facilitate the self-healing process for yourself and for others whom you love (including Mother Earth), contact me (kay@dayss.com). Anyone can do this kind of energy healing facilitation, and like everything, the more you do it, the better you get at it. Everyone is a natural born healer. If you weren't, you would have died from the first cough you ever got, and you wouldn't be here today. If you're reading this, you ARE a healer.
