Hi Everyone

Guess what? Animal Dreaming has relocated! That's right, Scott and Trudy have packed up home and office and moved north to beautiful Mullumbimby (approximately 20 minutes from Byron Bay). 'It's beautiful - sunny, warm and enticing', they say. 'It reminds us of the Yarra Valley here - our home for the past 8 years, but instead of the ever familiar oak trees, mountain ash and tree ferns, we have jacarandas, frangipanis and palm trees! It's been a real sea-change for us all'.

Since moving up a few weeks ago, Scott has presented at the Mind Body Spirit Festival in Brisbane (welcome to all of you who added your names to the mailing list), returned to Melbourne for the Winter Spiritual Retreat in Warburton and offered a boutique seminar at the Byron Bay Services Club in Byron Bay. A special 'thank you' must be offered to Catherine from THE ART OF HEALING MAGAZINE for organising this wonderful event.

Despite the move up north, the ANIMAL DREAMING post office box address for all postal correspondences will remain the same until further notice. It will remain as follows:

PO Box 33

Warburton VICTORIA 3799

The reason for this is that until Scott and Trudy have decided where they would like to settle on a permanent basis, they feel it would be easier for you not to keep changing their contact details. The '1300' number will also remain the same, making the move that much easier all round.

Okay - here are the up and coming events scheduled for July:

Weave your own DREAM CATCHER

With Scott Alexander King


According to Native American folklore, it was Grandmother Spiderwoman who sang the Universe into being by weaving the Web of Life. Grandmother Spider wove the first Dreamcatcher, a beautiful and protective web woven within a ring of willow wood. In the centre she placed a single turquoise stone, a symbol of connection to the Creative Force, clarity, peace, communication and protection.

It is said that, with the aid of the Dreamcatcher, all our dreams can be harnessed and fruitfully brought to fruition. It reminds us of the sacred role we all play as vital strands in the Web of Life. We all yearn to be in control of our lives and to make a difference to the world. We all yearn to believe in ourselves, to have faith in our abilities, to heal and realise our true potential.

Don't wait any longer - come along and weave your own Dreamcatcher and, in doing so, initiate the reweaving of your very life.

During this workshop you will:

  -  Weave your very own Dreamcatcher and decorate it with crystals and feathers
  -  Hear the legend of the Dreamcatcher and how it was brought to the people
  -  Discover the sacred connection between the Dreamcatcher and the Universal Tapestry that is life itself

The 'KIDS! Indigo Children and Cheeky Monkeys' Workshop

- a four hour workshop at the MYSTICAL DRAGON, Carrum, VIC

with Scott Alexander King

NB: before participating in the INDIGO Warrior Camp, it's a requirement that the parents of the attendees first attend a pre-requisite, informative 'KIDS! Indigo Children and Cheeky Monkeys' Workshop . One such workshop is offered below.

The 'KIDS! Indigo Children and Cheeky Monkeys' Workshop is designed with parents, teachers and carers of children in mind. Children 15 years and over are also welcome to attend.

Introduction:

There are five kinds of people, each governed by their own Monkey and individual set of corresponding energies / totems / elemental influences.

- We all have a Monkey Archetype.
- Which ones describe your child[ren]?
- Which one describes you?

Are you an Indigo Warrior, a Nature Child, a Peacekeeper, a Winter Child or a Golden Child? Come along to this exciting workshop and find out for yourself.

By focusing on our our strengths, we effectively eliminate our weaknesses. By unearthing our fears, we will ultimately realise our dreams and aspirations. This is something we all yearn for. This is something all parents want for their children.

Venue:

THE MYSTICAL DRAGON
634 Nepean Highway, Carrum, Victoria, 3197

When: Sunday July 27

Time: 12 pm - 4 pm

Cost: $110 (GST incl.) p/p

What to bring:
-  a note pad and pen
-  a bottle of water
-  tissues

Not sure if you are an INDIGO Warrior? Not sure if your child is one? Well, come along anyway, because during this seminar information regarding the 'other children' (four other kinds, in total) will be revealed - information guaranteed to offer clarity, peace and understanding to all who attend.

The INDIGO Warrior Child often demonstrates the following abilities:

  -  They are often powerfully intuitive and psychically aware
  -  They are sensitive and at one with animals and nature as a whole
  -  They are quite often telepathic and assume that others can hear their thoughts (so do not assume your child is being rude just because he or she doesn't respond to questions or directions in an audible way)
  -  They are usually acutely artistic, observant, academically advanced and socially adept … but most have difficulty demonstrating these skills in a manner acceptable to' the system'
  -  They are not 'ADD' (Attention Deficit Disorder) or 'ADHD' (Attention Deficit Hyper Disorder) and should NOT be treated or medicated as such

I mean, would you give your child a line of cocaine each morning before school? The medication prescribed to 'sufferers' of ADD and ADHD is classed by the U.S. FDTA alongside Heroin and Cocaine. Yet, there are classrooms in America where every child is medicated every morning with this drug.


  -  They should be nurtured, inspired and encouraged but not treated as different as or better than any one else. Being a Warrior does not afford any excuse to act up or intentionally buck the system
  -  They need, want and respect boundaries that are consistent and fair
  -  They look to their parents as role models and they expect them to act as such
  -  They are incredibly intolerant of those who display hypocrisy, ignorance and arrogance
  -  They do not respond to fear based control or disciplinary techniques
  -  They carry the Capuchin Monkey as their Power Aspect, Animal Spirit Ally and Totem

Based entirely on Scott's new book, 'KIDS! Indigo Children and Cheeky Monkeys; a guide for the modern parent ', during this workshop you will:

  -  Be reintroduced to your child for the warrior that they are, instead of seeing them labeled as a nuisance and trouble maker
  -  For the first time, have your child's behavior explained (and celebrated) in a practical, tangible and positive way
  -  See your child as an aware, enlightened being, destined to become one of tomorrow's spiritual warriors
  -  Meet other Indigo Warrior Children; individuals who have survived childhood despite being diagnosed and labeled as ADD or ADHD
  -  Learn what determines a Indigo Warrior Child, while learning more about the four other children outlined in Scott's book including the Nature Children, Golden Children, Peacekeeper Children and Winter Children
  -  Hear what the drugs used to 'treat' today's children have been compared to, how they dramatically hinder the healthy development of your child and what the long term affects may be
  -  Learn how to support your child, how to encourage them to achieve their best and how to adapt their diet and home environment so as to avoid the problems faced in the past
  -  By participating in this seminar, I offer you the chance to take the time to get to know your child better by first getting to know yourself.

You've heard of the CARAVAN OF COURAGE, right? Well, I bet you've never heard of the ANIMAL RESCUE CAMEL CARAVAN have you? Let me tell you - it's amazing, as are the people involved. Not to mention the animals that travel with them!

Check it out by clicking HERE

Its been three years since Gill and Kye left Alice Springs and traveled south, following the old Ghan line and the Oodnadatta track. Since then they've continued onto the Strezlecki Track where they stayed in an outstation for almost a year, resting up and renewing their funds for their continuing adventure to find a home for themselves and all the rescued and previously abused animals that travel with them.

The Tiger

'I am Courageous'

The Tiger's stripes offer perfect camouflage as it prowls the tall grass and brushwood of India. Its colouration disrupts the outline of its body as it lies in wait for passing prey such as Deer, Wild Pigs and Buffalo. Tigers are occasionally known to take domestic stock in areas where natural prey is limited.

While man-eating Tigers are rare, the rubber-harvesters that work the thick forests often wear realistic human-like masks on the back of their heads as protection. The belief is that Tigers only take their prey from behind, and while this may not necessarily be a proven fact - the people figure it's better to be safe than sorry. They figure that the Tiger, confused by the two sets of eyes, will think it is unable to strike from the rear and leave them alone. You could say that to attack your prey from behind is a good idea; stalking your prey silently without being seen, making the crucial ambush triumphant. Well, guess what? It's estimated that Tigers go hungry about 80% of the time using this technique. However, if the truth be told, it's probably not so much the technique that lets the Tiger down, but rather a lack of confidence. Despite its physical power, stunning appearance and wild nature, the Tiger is nervous and hesitant. It's afraid to look its prey dead in the eye; instead its looks for an easier, less confronting way to take it down. But even when it has its prey set in its sight, the Tiger often loses confidence at the last minute and bungles its assault.

To have the Tiger skulk its way into your life today is to be told to face your issues front on instead of looking for an easy way out. Look at what you fear the most - dead in the eye - and defiantly vow to take it on. Don't beat around the bush, or ignore your problems in the vain hope that they will go away. The Tiger is reminding you of your inherent beauty, Personal Power and inner strength. Celebrate your potential as your personal truth and see yourself worthy of greatness. If you have issues or suspicions regarding a friend, family member or associate, for example, speak to them openly about it instead of holding it in or talking about them behind their back. If you suspect that others have concerns about you, confront them and encourage them to talk openly with you about it. Or, if there are things you have done or issues that make you feel shameful, and you are worried they will be revealed by someone other than you, speak up now and get everything off your chest. Be the one that controls your destiny, look your shadow-self dead in the eye, and take command of your potential. Reject the negative aspects of Tiger - those parts of yourself that imply you're a coward. Instead, be the proud, powerful Tiger that integrates its favourite prey - the impeccable Peacock - into its way of life. In doing so, you will always walk your talk and face your fears and limitations head on with courage and fortitude.

SEVEN GENERATIONS

With Lynn Jones

(Graduate of the 2007 Animal Dreaming Certified Course)

Lynn Jones is the founder of Seven Generations. The vision of Seven Generations came to Lynn while he was questing in the high desert mountains and canyons of Death Valley, California. The vision impelled Lynn to follow his passion to support men and women who choose to mentor a life that reflects their inner truth and who wish to share their gifts with their people – creating a ripple effect which reaches out in ever-widening circles to all people.
The thread of Lynns’ journey runs through the corporate and sporting world to running his own business.
Lynn deeply respects the ‘old ways’ – The ways that worked for hundreds of years. The ways that were based on cooperation and community. The ways that will lead to the survival of our seventh generation.

Email Lynn here to find out more.




Lauren Burns is proud to announce the release of her new Zip Bag: a gorgeous compact and stylish carry bag that neatly folds into a zip wallet small enough to fit in any handbag.

This bag comes at a time when we are trying to curb our use of plastic bags. We all know how useful the green bags are, but they are certainly not first choice for the catwalk!

The Zip Bag is the perfect alternative…and beautiful too.
