Kathy "Tiger Heart " Paxson, is a Usui Reiki Master and teacher, Shamanic Breathwork ™ Reiki Master, Shamanic Breathwork ™ Master Facilitator, Dreamer, Round Circle Group Organizer, Buddhist Educated Transpersonal Guide and Life Consultant, Ordained Shamanic Minister, a passionate horsewoman and author of the workbooks for the ANRC: The American Forward Riding System. Her goal is to demonstrate a way of being in the midst of the environment that originally limited her beliefs and to have this difference witnessed and recorded in the collective pattern. Her mission is to open doors which offer back a reflection to individuals of who they really are; to provide assistance to each unique individual in reaching their highest potential and uncovering what they came to do on this earth walk. Living consistently in connection in the Reiki energy is a lesson the four leggeds and all of nature exemplifies for us humans. How to be attuned to and resonate with what is natural rather than what is normal creates a shift in perception that allows us to embody our inherent wholeness. This shamanic perspective is the base for stabilizing emotions and to remembering and relearning how to use our feelings as telepathic radar and foresight. From this window’s view our awareness expands exponentially and the possibility of living in the higher levels of consciousness allowing life to flow through us moves from being an imagined dream to a manifested possibility in our day to day waking reality.

Sybill G. Vaughn (Owl Woman) Is certified with Venus Rising as a Pastoral Counselor, and Shamanic Breathwork™ Facilitator. She is also a Voyager Tarot Certified Consultant and practices from the Suncentre in Spokane, WA. Sybill offers individual sessions in Reiki, Sound Healing, Soul Return and Extraction. Shamanic Breathworks are offered on a regular basis at Suncentre. A variety of other workshops take place throughout the year at Suncentre, as well as groups and courses on Sound Healing and Spiritual awareness. Her training includes study and/or certification with Venus Rising; Eupsychia Institute; Tom Kenyon and Kripalu Centre for Yoga & Health. Sybill has been in private practice for 30 years and has a strong background in Psycho-Spiritual Counseling, Group and Workshop Facilitation. In addition to the Seneca name Owl Woman, her Sanskrit spirit name is Vrusha.

Sybill says: "Venus Rising training helped to bring all of this prior work together, resulting in the developed ability to work with people on whatever is the next step of their journey. Extraction & Soul Return is what is up for most people at this time, since the planet is rapidly moving ahead, and we people are running to keep up. Time is shrinking, as our sensitivity is increasing. Most of us want to be whole (united with our fragmented parts), and be able to release from our auric fields those energies we have become habitually attached to, and which hold us back from the next right step on our journey. The time is now to complete old unresolved issues. "

Mentoring: Individual & Small group mentoring. Think of this as "Time Out From Daily Life" to focus exclusively on self. Like a workshop exclusively for you. Requires from 2 - 4 days commitment. Menu available upon request, tailored to individual needs. This is especially valuable for "caretakers" who have difficulty letting someone else care for them. (Nothing to do but focus on self for this period).
