new years visioning ceremonyNew Years Eve
Visioning Ceremony
and Celebration

Integrating 2016 and Calling in 2017

Saturday Evening
Dec. 31st - 6:30 to 9:30pm
An evening of Divination

New Years Eve Visioning Ceremony is here to assist you in celebrating the completion of 2016 and the birthing of 2017 in sacred community, ritual and fun. Katherine Skaggs will lead you in ceremony with Divination Mapping to understand more clearly the lessons and the gifts 2016 brought, as well as to release and compost what no longer serves you.

Divination Mapping is a term and process that Katherine learned from her dear soul sister Sage Holloway (author of the Mythical Goddess Tarot and Animal Healing and Vibrational Medicine.) The process incorporates ceremony, creativity, intuition, and a variety of divination tools to integrate the movement from one big annual cycle into the next. A map is created for the integration of 2016 as well as release of all you want to leave in the past, and a visioning map is created for the invocation of a beautiful 2017. In this process we ask for guides to show themselves and reveal who they are, as well as the wisdom to be reveals of the patterns we are working with, so we can gain support and clarity for the best outcomes in riding the energies at hand.

This will be an empowering and fun evening that guides you in harvesting all the juice from the year 2016, while setting intentions and gaining guidance for creating a fantastic new year in 2017. Join together with like minded community to set a clear and strong path for your New Year, invoking blessings and illumination.

What to Bring:

Bring your own divination tools such as oracle decks, tarot cards, runes, blessing cards, etc. Special colored pens or pencils if you have them.

Katherine will also provide an array of various oracle cards, tarot decks (including the Mythical Goddess Tarot), angel cards, and runes, etc. as well as the art supplies for the mapping process. You will also be served with hot tea, cider and holiday treats for the evening.

Be prepared to open the wisdom and knowledge of your own soul path. You are able to see more deeply into your life, and this process will assist you in finding more of your power, as well as understanding how you can create more intentionally a beautiful life.

Winter Solstice
Ceremony
Wednesday, Dec. 21st
6:30-9:30pm

with Katherine Skaggs

Join in a ceremonial wisdom circle on the Winter's Solstice, to move from the cycle of Autumn into Winter. This Solstice is a time of harvesting the fruits of our labors, a time to be thankful and celebrate what has come our way over the past cycles, and a time to die to the outer cycle of growth. It will be a time to honor the cyclical movement inward into rest and regeneration. We are here to honor the reflective time of moving inward as the Sun moves farther away from Mother Earth, and there is more darkness in the cycle of Winter.

To begin our time together, you will be energetically cleaned with sacred smudge, tobacco and flower water. We then gather around the altar in prayer and intention, calling in our allies of the directions, the elementals, our ancestors and spirit helpers.

We shall call upon the Gaelic Winter Solstice Goddess Cailleach Beira, the Dark Mother, the Harvest Goddess, Crone, Queen of Winter, who watches over the dark part of the year. 

This Crone, Wise Woman, Goddess Cailleach (from Scotland and parts of Ireland) will assist us in connecting to our inner wise woman. We will work with her through ceremony and ritual, as well as a shamanic drum journey. We call upon her ancient, elemental power of destruction to help release the low frequency energies within the old worn out ways and habits, so we may rest and regenerate. It is time to cast away the heavy, fearful ways that bind us and raise our frequency to that of compassion, and creation through unconditional self acceptance and love.

We also ask for individual and collective guidance from the Mythical Goddess Tarot to expand our vision and focus our clarity.

Cost $33

Email Katherine to RSVP if you would like to come and pay in person.

Shamanic Drum Making Playshop
Saturday, Dec. 3rd, 2016
9am - 1pm

Native Hand Drums

Learn to make your own 16" deer rawhide drum or 18" elk rawhide drum on a maple hoop frame, and drum beater, in sacred ceremony and ritual the way our ancestors did. Call in the spirit of your drum, and infuse your drum making with love and intention.

This playshop includes all materials to make your drum, within the practice of sacred shamanic ceremony. We will open a medicine wheel and call in the directions and all our allies, we will smudge and smoke ourselves and our drum materials while setting intention and sending prayers to Spirit.

The ancient style drum is a beautiful instrument of the heart. It is used often for personal pleasure, shamanic healing work, drum circle gatherings, and shamanic journey work. The melodic beat can help you enter into trance-like, meditative states to assist you in accessing wisdom, guidance, and the place of calm of the heart center.

In shamanic healing work the drum is known to bring in a vibration to clear blocks in the energy bodies as well as to open the spiritual heart center. A practitioner may assist another in journeying to meet their spirit guides and totem animals for wisdom and healing, or may journey for the them. Drumming can move one out of the linear, left brain, into the frequency of peace obtained in meditation, which is also associated with the right brain.

Making your own drum in a sacred, shamanic environment helps you to get in touch with the spirit of your drum, as well as the spirit animals associated with your drum hide of choice. There is ceremonial work to connect you to the essence of your drum as a heart instrument. This ceremonial playshop infuses prayers, blessings and gratitude energies into your drum.

You will leave with a completed drum and drum beater.

Deposits are due at the latest by November 20th  to insure your space in the workshop and to buy the materials for your drum. Limited to 12 participants.

All creative materials provided: rawhide drum head and lacing, maple hoop frame; alder stick, leather, padding and sinew for drum beater.

Class will be held at Katherine's Studio, 3148 Birmingham Drive in Fort Collins, CO

Power of the Divine Feminine
& The Mythical Goddess Tarot

The Power of the Divine Feminine is awakening and having a resurgence on Mother Earth. It is a time of restoring the power of our hearts, the power of compassion and cooperation, and the power of love beyond anything we have known for thousands of years.

Join Katherine Skaggs, visionary artist of the Mythical Goddess Tarot, shamanic practitioner and painter of souls for Awakening Your Divine Feminine. Come into a sacred circle to honor the Divine within yourself, and to embrace and awaken your Divine Feminine power.

For thousands of years we have demonized and disconnected from our Divine Mother, our Divine Feminine power that resides within each of us, whether we are male and female. We are now in a time where restoration is not only available, but is a must for reclaiming if we are find peace, balance, compassion and strength for transformation in a world that has become polarized and in many areas devoid of this sacred, loving, wise energy. We need our Divine Mother energy awakened within our consciousness to proceed forward in our wholeness and power if we want to be healthy in our bodies, our minds and our spirits.

Within this class we will open sacred space,where we will experientially learn about the Divine Feminine, the Mother Goddess, and how to activate it within our own selves for a more sacred experience of life. The morning session will bring us into sacred ceremony; teach us about the sacred, great cosmic womb container represented by the Sacred Feminine; shed light on the world of potential and possibility that lives within the womb/container spaces; assist you in expanding your havingness and pleasure for life; guide you in the importance of good boundaries to protect your dreams and manifest your life; illuminate sacred destruction as a vital part of creation; teach the role of the sacred feminine in balance with the sacred masculine; show you how to call in our allies and energies of the Divine Feminine and her many faces, and much more.

In the afternoon we will work with the 22 Goddess archetypes of the Mythical Goddess Tarot. Each Goddess brings her own story, face and energy of the Divine Feminine into form, and teaches us how to invoke this into our lives. To reclaim these parts of ourselves, we must learn Her-Story, as History has left out the depth and breadth of the Goddess and Divine Mother that has been reflected to us for many thousands of years prior to the current patriarchal model. This reclamation will activate your own healing and potentiation of great love, and expanded sense of self.

To join this day of Awakening the Divine Feminine will be to join in a day of restoration and healing; it will be a time of letting go of the old, worn out stories of disconnection and disempowerment to allow and awaken your true sense of Self, of fullness, deserving, and havingness.

Things you will need for class:

Water for the day
Snacks
Notebook and pen
Anything you might like to put onto the altar for blessing (jewelry, written prayers, a stone, sacred items

Highly Recommended (but you can get away without it)

A a slide show, talk and meet and greet with Katherine Skaggs.
6564 E 51st St, Tulsa, OK 74145

Meet Katherine Skaggs - visionary artist, soul painter, channel, intuitive and shamanic practitioner to learn more about the Healing Power of Art, both in the viewing and in the making of it.

Whether you are an artist, a craftsperson, or a viewer of art, every time you engage your creativity and the beauty of art, you engage healing and restoration of your spiritual, physical, mental and emotional self.

Katherine Skaggs has been an artist her whole life. In her late teens and early 20s she became interested in metaphysics and spirituality. As life progressed she became interested in the intersection of her art and her spiritual path. This journey has been an amazing path of healing, revelation and connection to the Divine.

Katherine now works as a full time visionary artist, intuitive, writer, spiritual teacher and healer. She has discovered the healing power of art both through creating it and through engaging it. In ancient times the shamans, priests and priestesses in the community would make art as gateways and portals to the Divine. They would make art as healing tools for individuals and for their community. They were the visionaries and the healers, they were the messengers of the Gods and Goddesses.

Art is no different today when it is created with intention. Within each one of us is an innate ability to use creativity as a healing experience. Quantum physics is now validating what has been taught about art and created through art in Spiritual communities for 1,000s of years. There's art therapy as well as intuitive creativity as healing and awakening modalities widely accepted and making the scene in our modern world.

Within this talk Katherine will share her experiences of revelation in healing through creating art, as well as her knowledge and wisdom of others healing through viewing sacred art. She'll discuss the spiritual, metaphysical and quantum physics components. She'll also give you guidance in how to bring this healing modality into your life, through beautiful imagery, as well as through the Intuitive Creative Process. Katherine will also discuss and show you samples of sacred symbology used in art to restore, renew and heal, as well as to help awaken your consciousness.

Katherine will also share the Healing Power of Soul Portraits, a process brought to Katherine through her guides, to assist in healing and awakening the awareness of essence, or soul, rather than just identification with the human self.

To learn more about Soul Portraits, click here.

Katherine Skaggs has painted more than several thousand soul portraits and spirit guide paintings to date, channeling imagery, words, frequency and guidance for each individual, for a greater activation of their soul self and divine awareness.

Katherine Skaggs is the artist of the Mythical Goddess Tarot, the Pocket-full of Goddesses: A Blessing Oracle, as well as more than 50 altar cards. She is also the artist and author of the Pocket Blessings Cards.

Art prints, decks and altar cards will be available at the event.

Summer Solstice
Shamanic Healing Circle
Monday, June 20th
6:30-9:30pm

with shamanic practitioner Katherine Skaggs

Held at Katherine's Studio at 3148 Birmingham Drive in Fort Collins, CO

Join in sacred community for the Full Moon in Sagittarius and the Summer Solstice. We will welcome the beginning of Summer on the longest day of the year. It is a time to honor the fire in the sky, the summer sun, and the place of the South in the medicine wheel. The South is a place of illumination, the container of the heart, community and support, as well as the place to grow your dreams.

Every full moon is a time of manifestation, realizations, culminations, resolutions and energetic fullness. It may be a time for a breakthrough in consciousness and transformation.

The Full Moon in Sagittarius comes with the inner adventure of the mind, heart and soul. This moon illuminates your longing for higher ideals and knowledge, giving birth to vision, and leadership with your own life.

With these influences will will align through ceremony and ritual to raise our frequencies, clean off the dust of the ego mind, clearing our energy bodies and our heart spaces, so we can access more of our essence light and consciousness. This is a great process to let go of any old patterns and energies that no longer serve. We will offer gratitude for our havingness and what we have received in this cycle.

This is a gathering for sacred ceremony of blessing and healing within the Shamanic Healing Circle. As you enter into this evening, you will be cleared with sacred tobacco and agua de florida water. We will then open a medicine wheel circle in ceremonial style, honoring our allies and the directions, calling in support and protection, creating a safe and sacred space for the evening. Short shamanic clearings/healings and blessings will be offered individually within the group setting.

We will also enjoy a ceremonial fire ritual to clean and to infuse light into our bodies.

The collective group setting and individual clearings assist in clearing patterns of limitation, and opening to the wholeness of each individual, supporting self empowerment and wellness on mental, emotional, spiritual and physical levels. This also supports one to better navigate their lives in balance and personal power.

Shamanism and shamanic energy healing is known to be as old as 50,000 years according to modern day archeology. Katherine Skaggs has trained internationally with Amazonian Shipibo Indian shamans from the jungles of Peru, the Q'ero from the Andes of Peru and the Huichols from Mexico, in addition to multi-cultural shamanic teachers within the U.S. The practices offered within this ceremonial circle are handed down from these traditions and offered with the intention of personal and community healing and blessing.

Please come early so we can begin at 6:30pm sharp. Thank you so much!

Email Katherine to RSVP if you would like to come and pay in person.

These ancient principles and practices are often considered the foundational wisdom of many religious practices and truths.

Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice that dates as old as 50,000 years. Shamanism is found globally, in various indigenous peoples around the world, with common, universal teachings for living a life in balance, power and grace.

Fundamental concepts of shamanism:

  1. Everything is alive.
  2. Everything has spirit and awareness.
  3. Energy and matter are the same.

  5. Everything that exists is an energy system within a greater energy system.

In this full-day intensive play shop, you will work within a safe and sacred container to access your intuition and inner creative intelligence, and to bring it into your conscious playful, creative expression. We'll use drum journey, guided meditation, prayerful intention, and intuitive painting as expressive tools to move your inner brilliance into color, light and form, expressing more freely through your mind/heart/body connection.

We will work with the grand symbol system of life, along with the use of intentionality and curiosity. You will have the opportunity to explore soul symbols, and their use to open the potential of your greater self being fully realized.

Even if you have never painted or drawn in your life, this class will take you beyond your limitations and open you to your powerfully creative Self. We speak in symbol and metaphor every day whether we know it or not. This class will deepen you into the journey of being the story teller and creator of your life.

Intuitive painting is a painting process to free you from limited perception and stuck ideas about... well, anything. I have used it to heal what is stuck in my personality, emotions, beliefs and body issues. Many years ago it got me out of my state of perfection, which was always an illusion, and put me into the flow and intelligence of my Spirit.

I'll provide the safe environment and all the supplies, you supply your curiosity, your courage and your desire to be more creative... to Wake UP! ... to heal... to en-JOY yourself. Come with an open mind and be prepared to open the rest of yourself into greater authenticity.
