2 or 3 Day "Soul Journeys" Workshop

SOUL JOURNEYS-THE ART OF SOUL TRAVEL & INNER COMMUNICATION
Soul Journeys is the ability of our spirit to travel other aspects of reality. It is the mystical path of the Masters and Shamans, as old as time and natural as breathing. Rest assured that most people are "sensing" rather than "visual," so consider this a course in Inner Listening Skills to hone direct transmission experiences from your Inner Council without the need to see in a visual way. Spirit Messenger, Ellie Drew, will share with you how to enter into the Inner Realms, yet avoid the Mental Realms of fantasy and delusion. Soul Journeys gives you the skills to make contact with your Inner Council for guidance in your day-to-day life, and even speak with loved ones who have crossed over. You will learn the specific techniques the Spirits taught her through this same direct transmission, and then implored her to share with others. You can read about her journey in the book, "Partnering with Spirit: Homer's Journey."

In April of 2003, Ellie Drew was unexpectedly contacted by Master water-dowser Homer Hefty, whom she never knew, twelve days after he left the physical world. Her life was turned upside down as Homer and others he 'networked with on the other side' began calling her a Spirit Messenger insisting she share their messages to help facilitate spiritual healing in this world. Homer told her that everyone has an Inner Council and then taught her easy ways to journey the Inner Realms to receive guidance from them. Ellie has been asked by Homer to teach the specific methods they use to communicate with her so that others can have conscious contact with their Inner Council without having to go through another person.

This is a fully experiential workshop in terms of immersion in the Spirit World. Ellie has been instructed not to plan these sessions, but rather allow them to be guided and unfold, so who knows what will really happen! Please come with a sense of innocence and wonder and a willingness to explore the Inner Realms. Know that you will leave with very down to earth, practical life tools you can take home with you. Bring a blanket or mat, journal and water bottle. Wear comfortable clothes and eat light to avoid sleepiness. These things will support you on your Soul Journeys.

Soul Journeys Workshop Additional Information

Hi, This is Ellie Drew, the teacher for the Soul Journeys workshop (actually I'm more of a spirit-led guide!). I was asked by workshop coordinators to share with you more about the Journey you would undertake if you took the Soul Journeys workshop, specifically what we would be doing in the workshop, so here is some additional information.

In this workshop you will be taught the path of the Masters-the path of walking in true partnership with spirit, listening to the quiet inner voices wishing to guide and bless your journey in this plane. You will learn about the necessary spiritual discipline that is needed to accomplish this, with specific tools to work with. In order to do this the world of the mind and its outer world focus must be left behind to move into deeper places within yourself, accessing your deepest wisdom and teachers.

We will begin the workshop on time, entering the room in silence. Silence is the beginning of leaving the "monkey mind" at the door and allowing other senses to awaken, so come 15-20 minutes early to get settled, go to the bathroom, and get the fidgets out of your system . . . because for the duration of the workshop we will flow as the spirits guide me to guide YOU! For this to happen a "sacred circle" must be created woven from our collective energetic fields and intentions. We will be doing Rainbow Sun Qigong to ground and center you, further settling the "monkey mind," and melding the energy of the group into one cohesive, fluid whole. This cohesive energy field is held and maintained throughout the workshop by the Spirits, me, and the energetic integrity of your collective field. This collective energetic field is like creating the finest string instrument made, so that the spirits can flow through the sound currents of this opening to work with you.

I have been told by the spirits not to plan these workshops and was given a vision to explain this edict. I was shown puzzles. Each puzzle was different; representing that each group that came together had different energetic qualities and needs. They showed me how each group was "called" together by an inner longing/wisdom/ knowing. They showed me how each puzzle piece (individual) affected or "touched" the puzzle pieces (people) IT touched. Your shared energy is beneficial for others in the group, and they for you, a sacred bond, a complimentary sharing of energy, creating the quality of the cohesive energetic opening we work within. They showed me that if I were to "plan" the Soul Journeys workshops, then only some of the needs of the group would be met, but not all the needs because I would be "too much in my head" and not "hearing" their subtle guidance from the heart.

No two Soul Journeys workshops have ever been the same. People who have taken them more than once have completely different experiences. The spirits guide each Blue Light Tunnel meditation on the spot! I am only the Spirit Messenger, the conduit through which the spirits speak. Truly, for two or three days you immerse yourselves with the spirit world, guided into the teachings the spirits wish for you, sometimes with personal messages. The more innocent and open you come, the further you will grow. It is that simple. I literally come into two or three day workshops without ANY idea how they will unfold from the opening to the closing of the sacred circle. You will often times experience me sitting there with my eyes closed doing what looks to be nothing, however, in that silence I'm "listening" for the next impulse and guidance of the spirits so I know how to guide you. This will happen too when you have questions. "I" don't answer your question; I go "within" to receive your answer, or guidance in how to give you the answer to your question.

The goal of the Soul Journeys workshop is to hone your skills for direct contact with your inner guidance; To ask questions and receive guidance about your personal energetic body; To learn a specific method to ground and center, and how to open your energetic body to receive clearer spirit messages; To learn what the Path of the Masters is, and finally; To make a commitment to yourself during the workshop to begin to walk that Path. The workshop has the potential to liberate you into being more of who you really are; heal and free you from the burdens of emotional turbulence that tie up your energy and power; and allow you to drop away the illusions of outdated metaphysical teachings, or fill in missing pieces.

FAQ

Q: As a result of taking the Soul Journeys workshop and because of your communications with Homer, can you tell me if we will we be able to possibly communicate with those we love who have left and are now on the other side?

A: I know you want an unequivocal YES to your answer, but I'll give you a fuller and clearer answer to your question.
The spirit world is unpredictable, as is each individual and their working relationship with the spirit world. What I CAN tell you is that there are certain qualities a person will need to cultivate for an ability to communicate clearly with the spirit world. Each person's energy and abilities develops differently. According to my Qigong Masters, each person's energy and abilities will be based on what they have learned/accomplished in OTHER lives, and in THIS life. You are developing a SKILL, and like all skills, there are certain skill sets that are needed in order to be a MASTER of this CRAFT.

My "gift" is that I see/sense/feel/am able to be guided into what is necessary for each individual to develop. I have taken people who have not experience anything onto a path of awakening their spirit communication. I have had people in workshops that are "too much in their heads" with "literal thinking" and "immersed in the outer-world realities" so that they are closed to inner communication. Each person is unique. Some are not meant to do this work in this life and so will not be called to do this workshop. And communicating with the spirit world requires a certain lifestyle discipline that is difficult for many to achieve because it means making change in their life-in general people wish not to make changes in their lives.

My goal is for people to know what is necessary for them to communicate so when they NEED to do it, they have the skill TO do it, or at least know what is entailed in the endeavor. For each person to BELIEVE they are communicating, however, is sometimes nearly impossible! Especially in western culture, other cultures know that the spirits work with them all the time! For each person to learn the SUBLTE language and metaphorical language of the spirits is an art not easily learned unless one has already done work with metaphorical teachings. (Sometimes those high school English classes on poetry and prose and songs were thee most beneficial teachings to humanity, because in truth, they taught one how to "listen" for the metaphorical teachings in what was being said or written.)

Q: I found out about your book soon after the death of a man we regarded as the grandfather of our group. This was a main reason I was interested in your book at the time. It had more meaning for our group. And another one of our 'inner circle' died November 9th of this year. Many people are hoping to be able to hear from him as a result of your visit. Is this realistic? And Might I be able to communicate with my parents who have passed on? Or make more progress in that direction?

A: Of course. Often times when I guide people through the Blue Light Tunnel meditation during the introductory talk, they meet up with loved ones. It happens all the time. People cry openly because they've been touched by their experience of communicating with a loved one. But I've found that if people don't know this can happen, or don't expect it, it is easier for the "mind" not to get in the way of a possible contact.
