Autumn News 2019

October has arrived and suddenly , it seems, the air has taken on the autumn chill. My roses, however, which have given me endless joy all summer, are still blooming. Frost has not yet hit. The photograph above was taken on Prince Edward Island, the beach of red rock near where I stayed last summer. It reminds me of New Mexico, and I have similar feelings about both places. They call forward wild nature, vast silence, and an infinite peace.

This fall, my Wednesday and Thursday Authentic Movement classes are underway. They will run through the Solstice and then will start back up again in January. I am offering a Beginning Authentic Movement Series this fall which will begin on Wednesday evening October 30 and run for seven weeks from 6:30-8:30. This is a wonderful opportunity to try out this form if you have ever wondered about it. A great group formed already but there is room room for 2-3 more people. The cost is $140.00 for the seven week series. Contact me if you are interested.

In November, I am offering a Family Constellation workshop. This will happen on Saturday , November 16 from 1:00-5:00. You can find details in the calendar section of my website by clicking on that date. This is really important work that cuts through entanglements in the energetic field of the family or system and allows healing and flow to begin or to restore. It is powerful and it is real. Often, we are carrying burdens that we cannot resolve because they do not belong to us. This work deals with identifying and helping to resolve that. There is currently room for two people to present their constellation and have the group work with it and there are several spots open for representatives. Contact me at jansandman@comcast.net to register. Spread the word if you know others who would be interested.

I have recently been asked to go to Asheville NC and to Minnesota to offer Constellation workshops and Authentic Movement workshops, so that may be coming up this winter.

I am always available for individual sessions. These times are enormously open to change. The energy is potent and very available. I am in service to kindness and consciousness prevailing.

May our paths cross.

Summer Newsletter 2019

June , 2019

As we approach the Summer Solstice, I realize that I have not posted a newsletter yet this year and am surprised by that. The year has been full. Authentic Movement classes have been powerful and full. I offered a Beginning class on Wednesday nights during the winter. It was well attended and a beautiful beginning into the depth of this form. If any of you are interested in practicing, please drop me a line and let me know. It is through interest that the classes and workshops develop.

Kelley Hunter, astromythologist and I offered a workshop combining Authentic Movement and the Astrology of Moving through the Eclipse Portal in the early part of the year. We are currently planning another offering and the details will be formed soon.

I have offered several Family Constellation Workshops this year and will continue to do so. These are usually offered on a Saturday afternoon in Montpelier, but not always. If you have done this work, you know about its effectiveness and mystery in releasing inherited patterns and entanglements in ancestral and family systems. If you haven’t yet tried it but want to or just want to know more, please give me a call and I am happy to talk about it with you. I am planning to make some short videos to post that will address certain aspects. I will post them on my website and on my Facebook page–Jan Sandman: Listening into the Center. Constellation work can be done in a group and can also be done privately and over Skype or FaceTime.

In August, I will again be teaching at the New England Women’s Herbal Conference. I will lead three workshops, one regarding Authentic Movement and Moving with the Plants, a Constellation workshop creating a Prayer for the Earth and the third, a Sound Healing Ceremony. If you plan to go to the New England Women’s Herbal Conference this year, perhaps I will see you there. https://www.newomensherbal.com

Since March, I have been working in a new painting studio and loving it. I just created a website for my art work and will be adding to it over time. Here is the link in case you are interested. https://www.jansandmanart.com

And as always, you can contact me for private sessions.

I wish you all a glorious Summer Solstice.

Autumn Newsletter

Dear Friends ,

As summer winds down, today is warm, sunny, humid. In a couple of days, the weather will shift: cooler days and nights.

I recently returned from the NE Women’s Herbal Conference where I offered an Authentic Movement workshop, beautifully attended in a gorgeous space. It was an honor to be part of this event and to help its beginning to happen through movement.I recognize Helen Ward, Melanie Carpenter and Laura Julie Krouse and their co-joined effort and success to create a very deep and powerful gathering.

My Authentic Movement classes will begin mid September after I return from the beauty of Prince Edward Island. I have room for one or two people in the Thursday class. (9-11:00 every Thursday until mid December) Contact me if you are interested or know someone who may be. The description is on my website.

October 20th, from 1:00-5:00 marks the date for the next Family Constellation workshop. This is beautiful, effective and powerful work. I highly recommend trying it as either a representative or a person presenting a constellation. Again, I am free to answer any questions that you may have. jansandman@comcast.net or 802 522-5032 You will find the description on my website. I hope that the summer has been restorative for you all. It has truly been active and very alive for me. I have a passion for growing roses and waking to them each morning. I will miss them as the weather turns.

I look forward to the many opportunities for connecting this autumn.

all the very best,

Jan

November News

Dear Friends,

I am excited to say that I will be soon going to the beautiful Lake District of England to offer workshops on Authentic Movement, a deep practice of embodiment. This year, the 3 day conference, created by Rumi’s Circle, is entitled “Sacred Pattern: Balancing the Feminine and the Masculine. Elizabeth Hin will be the keynote speaker and Kabir Helminski is expected to speak along with several others who will speak and offer in various capacities. I expect the event to be very rich and am honored to be a part of it.

At the Winter Solstice, I will be offering a Sacred Sound Ceremony, an opportunity to focus prayers and intentions for the coming year, while being immersed in the deep resonance of the Gong, crystal singing bowls and other instruments. I will be sending out details for registering in late November or early December. Space is limited to 30 and fills to capacity each year.

The recent Family Constellation workshops have been very rewarding and rich. I will be offering more in the way of Constellation work in the new year.

This year has been one full of deep opportunity for centering, expanding one’s heart and deepening one’s roots. The leaves are nearly gone from our precious trees, and yet just yesterday, I picked a perfectly blooming rose from a newly planted bush. The unexpected is with us right along side the day to day rhythms. It keeps us awake, aware, alive.

SEPTEMBER

The abundant harvest, the chilly nights, the crickets, the amazing light of the fading sun. This sunset was taken in August on Prince Edward Island, a respite of profound peace and quiet , a resetting of an inner domain.

I bring that resetting forward into the autumn. My Authentic Movement classes are beginning soon and extending into December. They are essentially full at this point but do let me know if you are interested, as I will be offering a 5 hour workshop format on a weekend sometime this fall. The date will be determined soon. Stay tuned for that.

International Conference, Kendal England The Sacred in the Feminine and Masculine November 10-12 I will be offering a workshop in Authentic Movement as part of this conference. Beth Hin of the White Rose Foundation will be the keynote speaker. Let me know if you would like more information.

Family Constellations are resuming again with the first gathering on Saturday September 23, 2017 from 1:00-5:00. There is still space available. This is powerful work that reaches deeply into inherited patterns, traumas and strengths to bring an alignment of love, honor and acceptance. A full description of the work is on my website http://www.jansandman.com

I am in the planning stages of offering a Sacred Sound healing experience this autumn, in October around the time of Halloween. More to come.

Family Constellation Workshop, Authentic Movement Classes

Dear Friends,

It feels so good to greet the Spring at last. I will very soon be traveling to the Southwest, Four Corners area, a journey I have looked forward to for many years. To be immersed in that sacred landscape, I am certain will bring many gifts. I look forward to sharing them upon my return. The Authentic Movement classes have mostly filled and will be beginning in May. There may be some room in the Thursday class. You can check with me if you are interested. If you are interested in learning or participating in this form in the future, let me know and I will inform you when the next round begins. My book, White Stones, Bones, and Mist: Authentic Movement and Living Prayer is on sale through Amazon.com or Createspace. For local people I also have some copies available here. On May 20, I will be offering a Family Constellation workshop from 1:00-5:00. If you have ever thought about trying this work, it is a powerful and dynamic way of reconnecting, revealing and repairing inherited family dynamics. The description can be found in the calendar events section of my website.

I will write again after traveling and hope to see some of you at the Family Constellation workshop.

Enjoy the approaching awakening!
