Event Description: Join us for a soothing and restorative Full Moon Meditation, designed to help you release, reflect, and recharge. Paige Stewart will guide you through a calming journey to connect with the energy of the full moon, letting go of what no longer serves you and embracing new intentions.

Facilitators: Joe Bob & Amanda

Amanda Sage is a visionary visual artist whose immersive paintings and global community art projects explore transformation, interconnectedness, and the creative potential of collective imagination. She is the founder of the Vision Train, an international participatory art movement linking visions for a more beautiful future.

Joe Bob Merritt is a teacher, philosopher, and systems thinker who explores the deeper dimensions of human potential, creativity, and consciousness. Through symbolic storytelling and metaphysical frameworks — including the four dimensions and the parable of the seed — he invites audiences to see how intention becomes reality.

Event Description: Vision Training is an immersive creative ritual where art becomes prayer, intention becomes image, and collective vision becomes movement.

Guided by a short meditation, music, and intuitive drawing practices, participants create their own “Train Car” — a visual expression of hopes, gifts, and dreams for themselves, their communities, humanity, and Earth.

The experience includes a special talk by Joe Bob exploring the four dimensions of creation and the parable of the seed — how a single intention, when nurtured, grows into a living future.

Through drawing, writing, and group sharing, each participant contributes to an ever-expanding Train of Vision — a global art movement initiated by Amanda Sage in 2017 that has gathered thousands of visions from around the world, building a collective map toward a more beautiful and peaceful future.

No art experience necessary — just curiosity, heart, and imagination.

Event Description: Shamanic Journeying is a relationship with Spirit. The Celtic Cloaking Ceremony was taught to me by Tom Cowan. I will guide the ceremony, but the information will be given by your own Helping Spirits who willingly and graciously offer wisdom and insights. 

Each workshop covers topics like accessing spiritual worlds, ethical healing practices, how to ask questions, and interpreting the messages you receive. Each month has a theme. 

With each practice you'll enhance your spiritual toolkit to help ride through the challenging waves in life.

I was first trained by Michael Harner and his Foundation for Shamanic Studies, and have continued my studies with Sandra Ingerman ("Soul Retrieval," "Medicine for the Earth,") Tom Cowan ("Fire in the Head: Shamanism & the Celtic Spirit"), Imelda Almqvist ("Natural Born Shamans"), Gretchen McKay, Betsy Bergstrom, and Northern Ute elder Clifford Duncan.
