Wendy Warnimont & Antar Shanti
Chanting, Sacred Sound Meditation & Original Music
Wendy, also known as Antar Shanti (Sanskrit for inner peace)
is excited to present a new way of experiencing kirtan and mantra that
is not limited by boundaries of call and response, or the role of
musician and audience. Rather, it evolves as an organic group experience
where each person can be an individual voice within a group voice.
Shanti facilitates standing and dancing while playing the accordion as a
harmonium-like sound to encourage others to move, clap and feel energy
in their feet and hands. Vedic seed syllables, Sanskrit mantras,
original sacred songs, toning, silence and instruction are also added to
create an atmosphere for meditation.
8:30-10:00 Music of Antar Shanti
Original
music, ritual theater and stories as an expression of devotion to open
the heart and voice channels for creating a sense of expansion, freedom
and playfulness. Wendy produces Antar Shanti with Eastern, ambient,
folk, world influences that are informed by study of Vedic bijas and
mantras, Buddhist meditation, shamanic ritual, kirtan, and invocations
to ascended masters and the Ghandarva. Guitar, flute, layered harmonies,
ambient soundscapes from nature combine to create a soulful and
meditational atmosphere. Visit http://www.antarshanti.com,

Celebrate Nature as the greatest artist, and view artistic collaboration between humans and the plant world at Bridge to Eden: The Green World as Artist. For
centuries, the Green World of plants has been the model of beauty and
aesthetic form that humans in cultures worldwide have imitated in
countless drawings, paintings,
sculptures and photographs. In addition, there are arts such as
landscaping and flower arranging that utilize plants themselves as the
artistic medium.
"An actual rose is the most perfect artwork," says
Joan Forest Mage, Life Force Arts Center's Executive Director, who
along with Artists Steven Blaine Adams and Judy Demchuk created the
concept of the exhibit. "In Bridge to Eden, we honor the Green World as a conscious, artistic creator and colleague. This raises thought-provoking
issues about what is art, what is creation and who is Creator. We asked
participating human artists to work from a consciousness of co-creating
art together with the Green World by incorporating live plants into
their artwork in safe and respectful ways. The exhibit also highlights
artwork made from natural plant material: wood carving, oil on canvas,
sumi ink on rice paper."
Featured human artists in Bridge to Eden include Steven Blaine Adams, Sharon Bechtold,
Fred Casselman
, Judy Demchuk
, Elisa Rose Mountain
Britt Posmer
and Joan Riise.

Read Steve's article about crystals in Transcendent Journeys ezine
The art of
healing with gemstones is thousands of years old. Shamans and medicine
men knew the power of crystals and passed it down to the present day.
Stones possess energies, memories, vibrations and ancient knowledge.
Stones are gifts from the Earth and the Spirit World. We humans are made
of the same minerals as the stones and crystals.
This workshop is designed to give you essential principles and tools to
build your relationship with crystals, and to understand and utilize
their magical and healing properties. You will learn how to:
-
work with crystals for healing and empowering mind, body and spirit
-
"program" stones: put an intention into a crystal to accomplish a goal
-
learn color theory as a simple, effective key to the energies of stones
-
cleanse stones of negative energy
-
build relationships with your crystals so you can receive their messages, healing and positive energy
Each student
will apply what they have learned by working hands-on with the crystals
to create a pendant or earrings as a charm for their own or another's
healing. You will receive valuable handouts about planetary and chakra
correspondences, gemstone folklore, color theory, crystals for aura
protection, gem remedies for healing, and how to do a divination reading
with stones.
Steven Blaine Adams is an artist and designer who
works with natural materials like stones and crystals to create symbols
with spiritual resonance. He is LFAC's store designer, and is on the
curatorial committee for LFAC's art exhibits. Steve creates spirit-based
jewelry, and has been a Tarot reader for 30 years.

Understanding Astrological
Interceptions 2
with Lin Ewing
Thursday, May 17, 2012
7 - 9 PM
$35
Accurately interpreting interceptions of
signs and planets in an individual’s horoscope can provide great
insights, yet little information about this topic has been available. In
response, Astrologer Lin Ewing has developed this series of classes
based on her years of investigating this fascinating subject.
Continuing the exploration begun in Understanding Astrological Interceptions 1, this second class focuses on aspects
to planets that are intercepted—particularly, the rulers of the
intercepted signs, which are defined as energies that need development
in order to bring forth the qualities of the intercepted sign. By
examining the rulers’ house placements and aspects, we can determine how
one can best work with and bring to fruition the energies of the
interceptions. The
classes in this series on Interceptions are self-standing; you need not
attend Class 1 to understand the content of Class 2. What to bring:
your natal chart or any chart you’d like to investigate.

Read Edward's article about Himalayan singing bowls in Transcendent Journeys ezine.
Edward's performance features overlapping layers of sound healing
modalities, including Himalayan singing bowls, ganta bells, ting shaws
(cymbals), gong, and mantra. Both as a method of healing and as
meditation instruments, the bowls, gantas bells, and ting shaws are made
by Tibetan monks as part of a highly symbolic spiritual process using
an alloy of at least seven metals, including pure steel from asteroids
that hit the world's rooftop in the Himalayas. They are formulated by
the monks to work on many planes of our multidimensional being and can
facilitate emotional catharsis, the release of blocked energies, and
healing from the physical to spiritual. They sound beautiful
with primary notes and layers of overtones. Mantras are words of power
that use the primal creative force of sound as primal emanations for
affecting any facet of our universal experience. Together the
instruments and mantra can function on many levels for profound effect.
Edward Farnhamhas studied numerous spiritual and
healing techniques, including Himalayan bowls and sound healing with
Richard Rudis, and mantra with Thomas Ashley-Farrand and his wife,
Margalo or Satyabhama, two of the world's foremost experts on Hindu
mantra. Edward is a singer with the Chicago Gay Men's Chorus (www.cgmc.org
),and a painter who attempts to use the creative force as a vehicle to the divine.
