Description: In this class, we will step light to journey deep as we embody the ancient mantra practices from across faith traditions. Using simple circle movements, we'll join together to unite body and mind and create the conditions to experience the simple joy of the soul. Rumi perhaps said it best: Dance, and make joyous the Love around you. Dance, and your veils which hide the Light will swirl in a heap at your feet.

Description: Come and walk in the footsteps of Jesus and experience the full embodiment of the Christ. Using my book, Living the Prayer of Jesus: A Study of the Lord's Prayer in Aramaic, you will learn and chant a line of the prayer each week in Aramaic, embody the line in simple circle movements, and reflect upon the expanded meanings through the lens of the Aramaic language. You'll be encouraged to take the prayer, line by line, into a daily practice in order to experience the full impact and transformational essence of the Aramaic language itself. By the end of the course, you'll be able to recite the prayer in Aramaic and, as a culminating activity of the study, be invited to write your own version of the prayer reflective of the deeper meanings and as a result of having chanted the prayer in Aramaic in daily practice. Disclaimer! This study will not leave you where you began! As a lovely nun said to me after just a day-long workshop on the prayer in Aramaic, "I've been saying this prayer everyday for over 35 years. I will never say it in the same way again." Ummmmmmm…

Audience: All are welcomed
Description: At the heart of our yearning, our Beloved waits to join us in mystical unity. In this class, we'll explore the "how to," concrete processes, for creating the conditions to invite what grace may reveal—those sweet, unforeseen, moments of mystical unity with our Beloved—those moments that leave us, still, silent, not where we began. The culmination will be the revised and updated edition of the current Doorway to the Sacred: Transform Your Life with Mantra Prayer, under new title, Lovers in the Wilderness: Discover Your Path to Mystical Unity with Mantra Prayer, due to my publisher in June. Each week, we'll reference sections from Doorway to the Sacred and explore the new excerpts and sections I'm including. Along the way, you'll be invited to share your own stories and be invited to include them in the final draft should you be so inclined. This is a key element of our study: to engage and describe, through the sharing of our unique stories, how our ordinary life experiences have revealed to us—the Holy.
*For those of you who've read The Call of the Mourning Dove: How Sacred Sound Awakens Mystical Unity, this new book could be seen as the "how to" companion as we bring the Sonic Trilogy of Life into our daily walk with the divine.

Instructor: Rev. Susanna Stefanachi Macomb
Meetings: One on one session
Date: By Appointment from February 1st, 2020 through March 31st, 2020
Time: One Hour
Format: On Demand
Audience: World Wide
Description: One on One Energy Attunement Sessions for Healing, Transformation and Manifestation
In a gentle and compassionate atmosphere, we attune to your energy body. Attuned to your energy, I guide you every step of the way. We begin with a prayer invocation that the session be for your deepest and greatest good. We ask that we become pure vessels of the Divine. Your intentions are then made to the Universe. Your Soul, the part of you that is One with Source, leads the way. Energy blocks and congestions will reveal themselves. These blocks may be the result of trauma, fear, unproductive emotional or mental blocks. Your Soul brings them up to be acknowledged and cleared. Physical ailments need to be addressed by medical professionals. However, there is a spiritual component of disease that can be released energetically. Once your energy is flowing unobstructed, you become a shaft of light --- your true self. From this place, vibrancy, creativity and love flow freely. From this place we align to new more productive energy patterns --- more nurturing relationships, more fulfilling work, a more peaceful existence, greater health. As you raise your spiritual vibration you come more fully into the path of your being. A commitment to living life from who you really are creates the life that is authentically you, the life you are meant to live. Mystical experiences and ascension to higher dimensions of consciousness may occur.
Rev. Susanna Stefanachi Macomb has been teaching meditation and guiding energy sessions for 35 years. She serves as a bridge in times of change, loss, grief and illness. She has been instrumental in helping others experience mystical levels of consciousness. It is this inner work that led her to leave our corporate life thus transforming her life. She also credits this attunement in guiding her to create her own medical protocol to complete healing of Crohn's Disease and Cancer --- and transforming sickness into blessing.
Needed: All you need is a cell phone and earphones! I ask that you lay down in a comfortable quiet place in your home with your eyes closed, and I will do the same. We will speak first so that your intentions are best served. My cell number is 917-856-0422. My email is revsusannamacomb@gmail.com Feel free to call or email me if you have any questions.

Instructor: Rev. Dr. Stephanie Rutt
Meetings: 8 1st and 3rd Monday Meetings

Time: 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm EST
Format: On Site
Audience: All are welcomed
Description: In this class, we will journey on the Shaman's Drum to make contact with archetypes within representing our blessed Spirit Animal Helpers and Spirit Guides. Similar to dream work, Shamanic journeying has been called "conscious" dreaming. In the Shamanic practice of engaging the ecstatic body postures, we will embody ancient hieroglyphics to discover how they may inform our lives today. Shamanic practice awakens us to our unity with all of life – both the life we know through our senses as well as the life just beyond the veil. It is a profound practice, beautiful beyond measure.
We will engage the Shamanic practice as handed down through the lineage of Michael Harner and Sandra Ingerman. For the ecstatic postures, we will draw on the work of anthropologist Felicitas Goodman that was later documented for practice by long-time student Belinda Gore.
Required reading – especially if you are new to Shamanic journeying:
Shamanic Journeying: A Beginner's Guide by Sandra Ingerman
Ecstatic Body Posture: An Alternative Reality Workbook by Belinda Gore

Description: Learn about and discuss practical and spiritual wisdom to calm anxiety and find inner peace during stress, crisis, and chaos.
When going through challenging times, it's difficult to stay calm – it may even seem impossible. Anxiety, fear, worry, and overwhelm can get the best of us. But there is a way to thrive in spite of it.
While we can't change everything happening in the world, we can change how we respond to it. Rev. Connie will share accessible practices for calming stress and anxiety, yoga philosophy, and universal spiritual principles to sustain inner peace and calm – even thrive – in the midst of challenging times.

Description: Along with attention to the development and refinement of pastoral skills through an action-reflection educational model, trainees will be immersed in exploring issues related to their particular ministry setting and focus. Along with standard CPE learning tools of case-study analysis, group and individual supervision, as well as required readings. Clinical Pastoral Education Training (CPE/T) is an experience in process education that has been honed over several decades and remains responsive to cultural developments that facilitate pastoral growth. The heart of CPE/T is ministry with the sick, injured, and dying, and learning from that ministry. CPE/T trainees learn through reflection, discussion, and evaluation, and are able to apply their learning in future ministry experiences. This type of adult learning is accomplished with other CPE/T trainees and a CPE/T supervisor in a dynamic, small group setting.
The focus of learning in CPE /T is gaining new skills and tools for ministry while identifying particular gifts and goals for ministry. Along with attention to the development and refinement of pastoral skills through an action-reflection educational model, trainees will be immersed in exploring issues related to their particular ministry setting and focus. Along with standard CPE /T learning tools of case-study analysis, group and individual supervision, as well as required readings. CPE / T trainees work in collaboration with their peer group, their CPE supervisor and other staff to achieve their training goals.
