 Fire Ceremony
April 7th - 6:45 pm
~ led by Katy Koontz
In the interest of "Walking Gently" on our land;
Please DO NOT park or drive in the meadow.
~Thanks
The purpose of the FIRE CEREMONY is to heal and purify both the planet’s physical oceans and the oceans of cosmic thought.
At 7 pm local time, fire elders light ceremonial fires at each of the Peace Sound Chambers around the world. Those present watch the fire in silence until it burns out, giving to it what we want to transmute in our lives and staying open to the messages and teachings it brings.
All are welcome. We suggest you arrive by 6:45 pm.
Donations are appreciated.

Topic: How your spiritual growth can impact your everyday life
Saturday, April 11th
10am-11:30 am
“We came here with a plan. Each of us have something we came here to do. When we choose to grow spiritually, we release blocks and things that hold us back from growing, thus our abilities can't grow as they should. That results in not knowingly creating our existence.
The goal is to get us back in control of the things we were meant to have control over.......our dreams and aspirations."
~ David Arms
$25.00 presentation fee applies to individual session with David.
Individual sessions, $50, scheduled after, (sessions are 45-60 minutes.)
What is Holistic Wellness Alignment?
Trauma, emotional and mental stress, false belief systems and other blocks to our personal growth can be stored in the energy fields of our bodies, impacting our ability to function at our full potential and to lead happy, fulfilling lives.
HWA is a gentle and non-invasive method of healing. HWA treats the WHOLE PERSON. When the emotional causes that are behind most physical issues are cleared, the body starts to heal itself. Even injuries find improvements from getting rid of emotional trauma. Clients invariably report immediate feelings of change, lightness, well-being and relaxation, yet the healing effects can continue for several days as the energy integrates and toxins are released.

Work ExchangeEarn credit towards danceWant to dance?The work exchange rate is $15 per hour. You will need to work a minimum of 4 hours on a given day. Generally we work no more than 10 hours in a day. This will not include a lunch, so you will need to bring your own light lunch. Please contact the Dance Chief or Coordinator if you are interested in contributing towards your dance in this way. If you would like to use this work day as part of a Work Exchange there are two things to do. Contact the chief of the Dance if you have not already made arrangements with them to exchange work for the event. Contact Steve (865-300-4424) and let him know that you want this to count towards Work Exchange. In any case, if possible let us know that you plan to come so we can plan our work accordingly!

 Native Nurturing OvernightApril 18th -19th
starts at 1pm Saturday
~led by Nan Citty
Support Native Nurturing
with your Donation
#my_nn__scholarship#
This is an overnight, activity based workshop for those interested in learning The Old Way teachings of our Native American ancestors.
For information contact: Nan Citty: by email
or call: 865-405-6809
This is an overnight, activity based workshop for those interested in learning The Old Way teachings of our Native American ancestors.
It is created for children and youth to share with their parents. We will learn about Drumming, Dancing, Storytelling, and there will be a Children's Sweat Lodge. On Sunday morning there will be a Give Away and Feast
Each Spring we plant Hopi Rattle Gourd seeds in order to spread the concept of Seeds Of Peace which was given to us by Joseph Rael (Beautiful Painted Arrow).
We will be spending the night in the Peace Sound Chamber so we will be protected form the elements in case of rainy weather.
Mostly-----it is fun! Many parents who are drawn to know more about Native Ceremony often find this a good way to begin. For those who already follow and study this path, it is a way to share the community joy of tradition. I look forward to seeing you there.
Children must be accompanied by parent or guardian.
Cost: $25 per participant (including parents)
$100 four or more per family
**Nan Citty has studied and participated in this Native tradition given to us by Joseph Rael since 1994. This event was created as an extension of this work.
***Leslie Grace Moore will be assisting the NN Overnight this year. She has had numerous years of involvement in Native Ceremony and a back ground in working with children.

Drumming, Meditation and Channeling

 DRUMMING, MEDITATION, AND CHANNELING
Tuesday
7:30-9:30 pm
We will drum for a while, then drift into a silent meditation. The Guides, with which Perry works, will begin to speak.
All are invited to attend. Bring your favorite drum [we will have a few extras here, if you do not have one to play], an open mind, and a supportive heart. In the spirit of "my job is to show up", let's see what happens. You will know if you need to be here.
An opportunity will be given for other Guides to speak as well. Out of respect for time, let's come early to socialize, so we can start on time.

We are asking for sponsorship through monthly donations.
These donations do not need to be large but if those who love the Center for Peace could help by committing a few dollars on a monthly basis it could be the difference between always hoping that someday we will be able to build or provide those needed areas (i.e. showers, sleeping areas, restrooms) and actually making it happen.
If you have participated in any of the programs, offerings, and events that occur on an ongoing basis at the Center for Peace you have already felt the personal blessings from these activities. Our mission is to be a Spiritual Center for our community which extends to anyone open to this learning path.

It doesn’t take much — just a community.

Facebook Group
We have started a new "Group" on Facebook. It seems this is a better way to stay in touch interactively than the page format. We will keep up the page, but invite you to join our new group as well.
Simply "click" on the Facebook button above.

The Peace Sound Chamber is available for chanting, vision quests and ceremonies of many different types.
You are encouraged to come to the chamber and chant, drum, meditate or simply sit (the chamber Spirits love it); please check first that there is not something already scheduled.
Please call at least two weeks in advance to reserve our facilities as usage requires council approval.
