bridges the gap between the conscious and subconscious

minds. At the root of every symptom, stress and disease

demonstrate the subconscious emotional pattern of reaction.

When activated, this pattern of reaction will cause both

behavioral and biological stressors. The cornerstone of the

LifeLine Technique is its view of symptoms, stress and disease.

Instead of thinking that there is something wrong with a

person, the LifeLine Technique looks at symptoms, stress and

disease as the language your body and life uses to awaken

you to your authentic power of transformation and your

ability to create change. The LifeLine Technique® enables a

person to activate their subconscious mind and thus have a

direct impact on genetic expressions affecting the health of

their bodies and the relationships in their lives.

We focus on the Five Basics for Optimal Health - the quantity,

quality, and frequency of water, food, rest, exercise and

owning your own power. Anyone who is passionate about

taking responsibility for their life and consciously bringing out

their best can be trained to be a Certified LifeLine

Practitioner.

4:30 to 6:30 pm- Community Supper

6:30 to 8 pm- Journaling - Justine Marple - Come

experience the beauty of pen and paper with Justine.

8 to 9:30 pm- Prayer Beads - Doe Hart - Using

Prayer Beads is a practice found in many of the world's

religions. In this class you can create your own strand of

beads infused with the energies of your prayers and

intentions. Paper beads can be made and incorporated so

that you can actually include your written prayers in your

creation. These beads can become a powerful tool for

meditation and manifestation.

10 to 11:30 am - Oneness Blessing - Crystalla The

Oneness Blessing (Deeksha) is an energy transfer that promotes a neurobiological change in the brain that reduces the power of the ego and connects us with Spirit. It results in a growth in consciousness by creating a shift in the perception and experience of life. It is a non-denominational experience that awakens our connection with the Oneness in everything, allowing each of us to deepen our relationship with those we love, with ourselves, and with all that is. The blessing is transmitted by those who have received an initiation from a Oneness University certified trainer, and is free of charge. (Love donations are accepted).

11:30 am to 1 pm - Community Lunch - As a result

of the 2013 Town Meeting, we will alternate between Community Lunches and Suppers. This allows time to visit - and shop - within our sister cities, Orange Beach and Gulf Shores.

1 to 2:30 pm - Animal Totems Part I - Mark

“Thunderbird” Henry - Totems: What are they? Why important? Do I have them? Have you ever felt drawn to one animal or another (including birds and insects) without being able to explain why? First of the series we will discuss what totems are and what it may mean to us as human beings.

her from bad dreams. They consist of a hoop containing a handcrafted web design with a hole in the center. The hoop may contain several feathers dangling. When hung above the dreamers, the web filters dreams from the night air allowing only good dreams or important messages to come through. By weaving your own, you can infuse the web with your energy. Medicine Wheels are another representation of Native American traditions. Small class charge covers cost of materials - metal hoop, sinew, and any beads or feathers you may wish to add.

is a medicine wheel? What does it mean and what can it be used for? Experience the power of the medicine wheel, a Native American tradition that has been used for thousands of years as a healing tool.

Learn how to create and use a medicine wheel for healing on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. You will learn to connect with plants, crystals, angels, animals and guides to release negative emotions and thoughts to allow space for new energies and ideas to manifest a new way of being.

"From time to time, to remind ourselves to relax

and be peaceful,

we may wish to set aside some time for a retreat,

a day of mindfulness, when we can walk slowly,

smile, drink tea with a friend, enjoy being

together as if we are the happiest people on

Earth."

In 1991, Joe and Dottie were walking the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama. They talked about how nice it would be to bring some friends to this beautiful setting to exchange knowledge and talents – to learn more about T’ai Chi, meditation, yoga, reiki, massage, diet and all modalities would help keep them healthy and happy.

The first retreat started with a Native American earth blessing led by life-long friend Kristy McElwee, which has become a tradition over the years. Fifty-six friends attended what was thought to be a one-time event. By the end of the week, friends started talking about next year when “we come back”.

After that first year, Dottie and Joe decided that they wanted to continue their dream of creating an environment in which people from all walks of life would come to enjoy a new-found togetherness, or to be enlightened about issues important to their well being.

Watching people learn, grow and be happy has been their greatest reward. More than anything else, they wanted to create a way to inspire people to find peace and balance between their work, personal and spiritual lives. They also wanted to build a sense of community, and so the idea of Sand Sea and Spirit was born.

Over the years they have made friends from all over the world who have traveled to the white beaches of Alabama’s gulf shore to share in a week of discovery. All guests have become part of Sand Sea and Spirit extended family.

We are so grateful and blessed to share this week with Dottie as we celebrate the

24th Year of Sand Sea and Spirit. We celebrate Joe’s life as well this year

during our Memorial Service.

I enjoyed my early years of life being a typical boy in a small southeastern Ohio town. We rode our bikes everywhere until dark, played baseball, basketball and football, and listened to the great music of the 60’s on the radio. After four years in the Air Force as an airborne Russian voice processor, I attended Ohio University to earn several degrees (BA, BS, MBA).

The film : "Bringing It Home" is 52 minutes long and often inspires those who view it to explore the hemp movement further to help those they love and care about.

Sand Sea and Spirit

Celebrating 25 years

September 12 to 22, 2015

Sunday Only:

Amanae with Sam2Hawks

I am Sam2Hawks. I am a Creek Indian Medicine Woman and a member of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians. I am an Amanae practitioner and maker of custom, intuited Prayer Sticks. Amanae is multi-dimensional, heart centered emotional release body work. There are only a handful of practitioners in the world. This work is powerful and can move stuck emotions and pain quickly. The breath is in and out through the mouth, which holds us in our body and allows us to feel and release stuck energy. Amanae is not for everyone, but EVERYONE can benefit from Amanae. Are you really ready to let go of the stories, the pain, the trauma of the past? Come to it. Bring your full production. It's all welcome in Amanae. Free sessions for this retreat only.

3:30 to 5 pm - Exploring Light Language - Dr.

KaRa Kelley

Ancient teachings of the Mayan-Aztec Curanderos Light Language is an ancient secret teaching passed down from generation to generation through an oral tradition by a long and known lineage of Mayan-Aztec Curanderos or Master Healers and is still practiced by a small tribe in central Mexico.

It combines the sciences of Sacred Geometry and Color Healing – each shape and color with its own unique vibrational frequency, to produce clear messages in the form of energy emanations. These colored shapes can be emanated individually or in groups for various purposes such as healing, protection, raising the energy in a room for a specific intent (teaching, meditation, master-minding, healing, etc.), manifesting, clarity, trust, life purpose, selling a property, attracting a partner or prosperity, self-esteem, self mastery and so forth.

Light Language is practical, powerful and useful in every area and level of life. It structures everything – your home, health, workplace, environment, relationships, what you attract and manifest and anything that your aura and thoughts touch. The principles of Light Language embrace the Universal Laws such as "As Above, So Below" and "What You Focus On - You Create."

In this mini introductory class, you will learn the meanings of the seven basic shapes and colors and how to combine them for a specific intent or outcome. For example, a cone shape directs energy easily and gently and blue represents communication. Hence, if you are speaking and not being heard, use a blue cone in your throat area to direct the communication.

10 to 11:30 am - Preparation for Shaman's

Journey, then Shamanic Journey Mark

“Thunderbird” Henry - As with many sacred ceremonies,

understanding the purpose and intention brings a greater

depth of understanding. To participate in the Shamanic

Journey, we ask that you prepare for this opportunity to

journey.

By now, you have experienced something this week that has

helped you release the fears, limitations, destructiveness and

imprisonment of some facet of your life. This is the essence of

the Sacred Path: to find, develop and use the gifts of the

heart.

As I understand it, from the Elder Teachings, it is time to trust

that you matter and that you are needed to complete the

Divine Plan. Seeing the Whole of Humanity, without

Judgment, is the first step to Oneness.

As always, we will see you if your heart tells you, or perhaps,

the Turtle may be calling you. The session will end with the

Shaman's Rattle.

Perhaps the Turtle will take you to find some answers.

I appreciate those of you who have chosen to share your

journey.

This, of course, is sacred, and not required.

Nya'weh Skennio, thank you for being.

Please note - this is a time of Sacred Space and Sacred

Ceremony. The Meeting Room will be closed once this

session begins.

Technique, or EFT, is a technique using the same energy meridians used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine. Enhance your body's natural healing and balance - and "tap" to remove negative emotions and implement positive goals. Simple tapping with the fingertips is used to input kinetic energy while you think about your specific problem -- and voice positive affirmations.

"This combination of tapping the energy meridians and voicing positive affirmation works to clear the "short-circuit" - the emotional block -- from your body's bioenergy system, thus restoring your mind and body's balance, which is essential for optimal health and the healing of physical disease." Dr. Mercola.

Diana has used EFT in empowering others to live a full and joyful life.

A pipe ceremony is a Native American way of sending our prayers to Creator. Normally this consists of seven rounds in which different prayers are offered.

Prayers can be personal prayers stated silently within each participant and well as prayers for the world etc. offered by the pipe carrier. This ceremony comes from the teaching of White Buffalo Calf Woman and originally the Lakota Sioux. Other tribes then adopted the teachings and pipe ceremony.

Jack Fowler

Jack's passion and talent for music were evident even at the early age of 3, when he had his first experiences playing piano. With his mom and dad both being ministers, he honed his craft playing in church, as well as being classically trained.

He began writing songs as a teenager and was signed to a major songwriting contract at 19. During this time, Jack began writing and performing with well-known contemporary Christian artist, Kathy Troccoli. This collaboration produced a Top Ten hit in the Christian market, which landed Jack a tune on Kathy's debut pop album, produced by Ric Wake; best known for his work with Celine Dion and Mariah Carey.

During the Summer of 2003, Spanish pop superstar, Naim Thomas, recorded Jack's song 'Caliente', which became a Number One song and video in Europe and Mexico.

In February of 2004, one of his songs, 'God Will Take Care Of You', was released on a CD by David Phelps, best-selling, Dove Award winning, lead vocalist of the Gaither Vocal Band.

Jack recently performed in Ukraine with Neale Donald Walsch, best-selling author of the 'Conversations With God' series.

'In The Silence', one of Jack's most requested songs, was nominated in 2008 for a New Thought Posi Music Award.

His mission is for this music to be a healing agent to inspire, challenge, and spark changes in those who listen.

His first full length New Thought project, 'Picture This', was released in the Summer of 2002, on Seventh Wave Records, and he has since released five more CD's of extraordinary songs and instrumental music.

Through this music, Jack is honored to have been chosen, for the past eight years, to serve on the core music staff of The Centers for Spiritual Living's international conferences, both held each Summer at Asilomar State Park, in Pacific Grove, CA.

Jack's pop background, as well as his church influence, can be heard throughout the music, making his CD's enjoyable to a wide range of listeners. Using progressive sounds and mature songwriting, Jack Fowler helps to lead the New Thought spiritual movement into the 21st century.

Dave Marple - I enjoyed my early years

of life being a typical boy in a small southeastern Ohio town. We rode our bikes everywhere until dark, played baseball, basketball and football, and listened to the great music of the 60’s on the radio. After four years in the Air Force as an airborne Russian voice processor, I attended Ohio University to earn several degrees (BA, BS, MBA). The last 35 years, I have spent in the Columbus, Ohio area making a living as a mainframe programmer.

One my favorite authors is Thich Nhat Hanh, and I firmly believe in the “Law of Attraction”. My favorite song is John Lennon’s “Imagine”. Favorite band is “America”. Favorite team is The Ohio State Buckeyes. I feel a strong connection to Mother Earth, and many of my friends refer to me as “Tree Hugger” or “Old Hippie”. These are monikers that I am proud of.

Like many of us, I’ve been changing and seeking spiritual enlightenment. Searching for answers. Who am I? Why am I here? What can I do to promote positive change in the world? As I approach retirement, I’m looking forward to the next phase in my life.

Eilis Snavely - My name is Eilis and I am Cherokee,

Blackfoot and Irish. My grandfather was a medicine man and pipe carrier. I was given my pipe by him in my early 20's and learned the prayers and traditions of being a pipe carrier. I have spent many years working to honor my role as a pipe carrier with many lessons and life challenges along the way. It is has be in the last few years that I have been able to truly understand the role and responsibility of being a pipe carrier. It is my honor to carry my pipe now and I feel truly blessed to do so.
