Her workshop will be on the magic of circular breathing to clear down through the layers of emotional density. When we do this we unleash huge amounts of energy that opens us to the wisdom, connection and passion for life that has been waiting for us. You are not your wounds! They are the echo of the past! Free yourself and let your SOUL come forth. That’s where your passion and power lives! Bring a sleeping bag or a quilt/blanket of some kind, a pillow and a towel.

Verl Ferguson (Morning Star) Cree/Beaver, Reflexologist and Grandmother Extraordinaire

Verl is from Northern Alberta, the eldest of nine children. She has 2 children of her own and two adopted and is grandmother to many more. She moved to BC in 1979 to find a different setting to become clean and sober. Her children became the focus of her life and she did all she could to create a better life for them. She went back to school, got her GED, then went back to school where she received a Certificate in Substance Abuse Counselling. She started burning out in this field then got a dream of a Spirit touching her hands. She decided to work as a Traditional Healer and chose Reflexology. She thought this would combine her interest in healing as well as help pay the bills. This she felt gets people on their feet and they also get a healing. She attended Touchpoint Institute for Reflexology and Kinesthetics in Bel Carra, BC and loved the work. She feels honoured to work on people’s feet and she looks forward to teaching all her relations at the conference about the benefits of Reflexology.

Merle Williams, Haida, Traditional Healer & Cranial Sacral Therapy; Channeler

Merle originally got a teaching degree but life has a way of straightening you around so you get back on your path. From the time she was little she could see ‘other people’ but during those years her gifts were not acknowledged. In the mid-1990’s Merle felt a real pull to do more with her gifts. She wanted to find out if her skills were needed by the larger public. She also learned about the healing power of crystals and stones.  She left teaching and works part-time with handicapped children while working with clients the rest of the time.  She is able to hear the guides and angels of other people and does a healing by the laying on of hands.

Dr. Ann McMurtry, The Healing Power of Stones & Crystals and Reiki Teacher

Ann is a natural born teacher. She graduated with a doctorate in Comparative Religions and taught at UBC for a number of years. She also felt drawn to different healing modalities and learned more on the power of crystals and stones. She continued her development in learning about her connection with her Higher Self and eventually started working full time with people who wanted to heal themselves in a more natural and supportive way. Ann offers channelled sessions for people looking for answers beyond the physical. Ann will present a basic course on the healing power of crystals. She believes all healing results from the reawakened memory of the connection between body, mind and soul which er work with crystals and Reiki strengthens. Ann’s academic background with a PhD in Comparative Religions and her skills as a Channeller, Reiki Master, Crystal Healer and Counsellor provide a unique approach. She lives the spiritual precepts of Reiki: Just for today, I will let go of anger. Just for today, I will let go of worry. I honour my parents, teachers and elders. I earn my living honestly. I show gratitude to all living things.
