Our New Home and Retreat Center

The past few months have been a very busy and exciting time for us.  Jill and I have moved into our dream home, which is also our Retreat Center.  In recent years, we've held our Lakehouse Retreats at our family lake house, but it was just too small.  Our new home has five+ bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths, and two full kitchens.  It's on three acres of land with a one-acre fish pond.  We look forward to sharing it with others through our quarterly retreats and other events.  Our retreats are the best way to learn my work, eat great, and have a lot of fun in the process.  All meals and lodging are included for less than $200 per day!  Our next retreat will be:

I'll also be speaking and teaching in Sarasota, Florida, in Waynesboro, Virginia, and other events are in the works. For the first time, I'll be speaking and conducting workshops in Denmark.  One of our recent retreat participants came from Denmark and is bringing me there to teach for her Feng Shui organization.  I'll also be speaking at the dowsing conferences at Sugarbush Resort in Vermont this August and in Flagstaff, Arizona in the October.  For more details, click on the link to go to my Workshops & Events page. 

I've long felt that strong ties exist between Gregg Braden's work and my own. Each book I read of his confirms this for me.  But in his new book, The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles and Belief, Gregg seems to be talking about my work.  Science has proven that a matrix of energies  exists that connects us with everything in the universe, but they can't "find" this matrix because "we don't have sensitive enough equipment to find these subtle energies."  I'm certain I've found what part of the Divine Matrix, and I teach people to find and work with it.  I call it the Universal Matrix.  These subtle energies are easy to find with a pair of dowsing rods (L-rods.)  Gregg will be speaking and conducting a workshop in October at the Southwest Dowsing Conference in Flagstaff, AZ.  I highly recommend this book, and the conference, for that matter.  I'll be there.

Another book I'm really enjoying is Rabbi Gershon Winkler's Magic of the Ordinary: Recovering the Shamanic in Judaism.  My first reaction when I saw the title was, "Jewish shamans? What's shamanic about Judaism?"  But I was pleasantly surprised to find that Judaism (and therefore Christianity) has a strong shamanic heritage.  Magic of the Ordinary explains why shamanism is no longer in modern Judaism for the most part and he gives many examples of our rich shamanic heritage.  Rabbi Winkler also details specific shamanic rituals for self-healing, healing others, and other spiritual purposes.  "From sorcery to animal totems, buzzard feathers to hawk spirits, sacred circles to healing rituals, this book offers us a rare and generous encounter with a rich body of wisdom that has long been neglected and even longer misunderstood. ...Ancient Jewish tradition teaches prolifically about the Four Directions and the medicinal attributes of animals, plants, and minerals." (from the cover) If the above description intrigues you, you will love this book.

We now carry Kyocera Ceramic Salt, Pepper, and Flax Seed Mills.  These grinders work great with Celtic Sea Salt.  Metal grinders will rust and plastic grinders don't last long.  For many years, we carried William Bounds grinders, but they're no longer available.  We're planning to carry other Kyocera ceramic kitchen products soon. 

We're also running a special on Flower of the Ocean, the highest grade of Celtic Sea Salt.  For a limited time, we are offering Flower of the Ocean in shaker jars for the same price as 1/2 pound bags. 

If you haven't tried unrefined Celtic Sea Salt, you don't know what you're missing.  It's loaded with natural minerals and tastes much better than refined salt.  Nothing is added to it and nothing is taken out of it.  Once you've tried Celtic Sea Salt, you won't go back to regular salt.
