She plans to expaned her Spiritual Healing events in the future with her new healing business People Who Knead People. She is involved with a group that are healing wounded healers that have been burnerd out in the Indiana Prison System. She said that working in a prison it detramental to ones mental health.

Friends of the Academy Announcentments: :

From Amy Barr:

I wanted to let everyone know about my Introduction
Qigong Workshop on February 23rd at Source Yoga in
Fishers. It is from 1-3pm. The fee is $20 for
non-members/walk-in's. It will be an introductory
course to what is Qigong, the history, benefits of,
and how exactly it works to keep people healthy and
happy. Qigong has been talked about on Oprah several
times in the past couple of months and is becoming
very popular in the west. To read more about Qigong
you can visit www.nqa.org which has several articles
as well as a link to Oprah's segments on Qigong.

My website is www.healingwithqi.com. I have a more
info. on the dates and times of my classes both in
Greenwood and in Fishers.

If you know of anything who would like to come to any
of the classes or would like to come yourself, please
do so! Qigong is extremely easy to practice and the
benefits will amaze you. Anyone can practice from
older adults to young children.

Thanks so much for all of your help!

Dances of Universal Peace

Dear Dancers,

Wow! We had a high-energy dance in February.
And there were 28 folks there, even though many
of our "regulars" were away.

We'll have a JUST US Dance in mid-February,
this time on Saturday:

SATURDAY FEB 16 DANCING 7:30 until 8:30 or
so 6506 Ralston Avenue

After that people can socialize. Musicians
will gather to prepare for the March Dance.

JUST US is informal -- no plan ahead, no long
introductions, minimal directions, whatever the
moment brings. And it has evolved into a sort of
"testilng ground" for future dances.

If you are newly on the list (esprit and
katharine), could you please email me to let me know
you received this? Otherwise, please let me know
only if you plan to come.

Thanks

FROM Laurelei:

I'm sending this to an interesting mix of folks who I think might be interested. I've just been able to upload the 2005 Goddess Ritual danced by the Jewels of the Temple at Indy's Pagan Pride Day. This a spiritual ceremony conducted entirely via dance. (Sorry for the repetition, for those of you who already know this.) I've separated the sections (except, somehow, the warrior and enchantress dances), because the entire ritual was nearly 30 minutes long. But feel free to watch the whole thing!!

Opening -- http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=Jl_WyT- 3AS4

Warriors and Enchantresses -- http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=x1yHhHC8lM4

Maiden Mother Crone -- http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=dIDRRSZBc- s

Isis -- http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=IIrkdnpTeks

Closing -- http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=FnCkhR52CSo

The Jewels are going to be dancing a new ritual this year at a few different events, and we are very excited. We hope we'll be seeing our friends there!
