In honor of the Fall Equinox and toward a better understanding of relationships between the masculine and the feminine - Project Butterfly, Eric Baumgartner of Urban Remedy and Andrea Brown of the Ojai Foundation Council Training Program will be hosting a Shamanic Acupuncture Dream Journey and Gender Council.

As we approach the change of seasons, the moment when the dark and light, the masculine and the feminine, are in perfect balance, we are blessed with a moment to reflect, to align, to deepen, and to come into right relationship.

The gathering will begin by diving into our own hearts, by way of a Shamanic Acupuncture Dream Journey led by Eric Baumgartner, to get to the core of what it is we are here to speak, to share, to shine, to hold.

From this place we will then step into a Gender Council facilitated by Eric Baumgartner and Andrea Brown. This Council is dedicated to the ongoing dance of the masculine and feminine energies in our lives.

The four intentions of Council are ::
* To speak from your heart
* To listen from your heart
* To be lean in your expression
* To be spontaneous
