EXCITING NEWS!! ************
To read about research on Medicine for
the Earth please see
Sandra Ingerman 's July and August 2011 Transmutation News
http://www.sandraingerman.com/tnaugust2011.html
In 2004 Sandra Ingerman co-partnered
with the University of Michigan School of Integrative Medicine to do a pilot
research on how Medicine for the Earth practices could help people who have
suffered a heart attack and Kate assisted her with both the study as well
as presenting the four day residential MFE Healing the Heart training!
The results of the study are now
published in August 2011 "Explore: Journal of Science and
Healing" edited by Dr. Larry Dossey & Bonnie
Horrigan. This
is such an exciting study as we were able to show the benefit of practicing
Medicine for the Earth
work for people who have suffered heart attacks.
The manuscript of the Healing the Heart study can be downloaded for a fee by

Kate Durda, M.A. & Stephanie Tighe, MSW, are shamanic practitioners who have
offered shamanic healing as well as training for the past 15 years. For their own use, as well as for their students and others in the shamanic
community, Stephanie and Kate began handcrafting tools for use in spiritual
practice. They create drums, rattles, personal “Spirit Bags”, and more.

with totems and power objects attached and placed inside bag.

WORKSHOPS: Drum-making and Rattle-making
Drums and rattles are very important shamanic tools, used for ceremony, calling
the Spirits, healing work and journeying. Making your own tools for spiritual
practice is very powerful, and a wonderful way to strengthen your connection to
the Spirit World.
