Psychodrama for Spiritual Activists
When: Saturday June 28 from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Cost: $70.00 including a vegetarian lunch.
Humanity
faces transformation, from the cocoon, to the
butterfly. Psychodrama has historically been used for healing and
therapy, but in fact was designed for a spiritual global transformation
by its founder. The time for psychodrama to "come out spiritually" is
here. This workshop will offer tools to open a transformational
vortex, for personal and social healing, as global warming unfolds.
Edward
Schreiber, TEP, is a protégé of Zerka T. Moreno, with
whom he has been trained. He teaches internationally and has
dedicated his work to the unfinished task of Moreno. He is
co-editor of The Quintessential Zerka: Writings by Zerka T. Moreno
on Psychodrama, Sociometry and Group Psychotherapy. He is an
adjunct professor at Lesley University and is the Director of the
Moreno Institute East.

EarthConnect
Renew your sacred connection with the Earth at Starseed.
In
our fast paced technological world we have become increasingly
disconnected from the natural world that sustains our body and
spirit. To bridge this gap, our EarthConnect program and events
offer opportunities for you to connect more deeply with the
rejuvenating and healing powers of nature.
The energy of the
land and Sanctuary at Starseed is potent. Whether it is spring,
summer, fall, or winter, the beauty of the land calls us home. We
invite you to come on your own or come for an event and spend time
connecting with the land and the spirits of the land. Please stay
tuned for EarthConnect events in the coming months.
SpiritConnect
Starseed
is a place for deepening into Spirit, a place where people of all
faiths can come to renew their connection with the sacred and the
divine.
As a healing Sanctuary, we hold sacred space and
ground energy here so that when people enter into this environment they
might more readily connect with Spirit. The heightened energy of
the land and sanctuary provides a supportive environment for connecting
within and with Spirit.
We host many events
throughout the year which are intended to help people of all faiths
connect with Spirit/Source/God. On the first Sunday of every
month we hold an interfaith prayers ceremony – Prayers for the
Earth and the People of the Earth. We also hold ceremonies on the
equinoxes and solstices to tap into the heightened energy. For
more information about these events, please visit the Ceremonies page
of our website. We also host sweat lodge or inipi ceremonies a
number of times per year, as well as ceremonies from a number of
traditions to assist people in connecting with Spirit.
Connection
with Spirit is the primary starting point for much of the
transformation work we do here, and thus is incorporated into many of
the programs and workshops we hold here. Please check our
calendar for special SpiritConnect events or join us for one of our
regularly scheduled prayer ceremonies.
SelfConnect
Starseed
is a place where we can all come home to ourselves. A lot of the
transformation work that happens here relies on people going within and
finding their true self, their inner self, their inner voice and
learning to embrace, trust, and listen to it. Much of the healing
that happens here is self-healing and thus relies on people working on
their own selves and taking personal responsibility for returning to
wholeness. Through guided retreats, programs and workshops,
people are assisted in the process of reconnecting with their own true
Self.
Many people come to Starseed during major life
transitions when they are seeking direction and clarity of
purpose. Some of our guided retreats, programs, workshops and
ceremonies are designed to help people tune in to their own inner
guidance and find the clarity needed to move forward with their lives
with strength and vitality. Starseed is a wonderful place where
one can be in a supportive environment and community and undergo
powerful personal transformation work. From a weekend guided
retreat, to a year of live-in stewardship, Starseed offers many
opportunities for people seeking to reconnect with their own self.
Starseed is a wonderful place for getting in touch with yourself.
ArtConnect
Many
artists have found themselves at home at Starseed and have worked in
concert with the spirits of the land to co-create many wonderful works
of art. One artist in residence created numerous nature spirits
out of earthen materials. Many have captured the vital essence of
the land and sanctuary in photographs. Last summer, a group of
international artists visited Starseed for 10 days and created numerous
environmental art installations on the land including a snake which was
carved out of a birch tree, a 10 pointed fire-pit, a breathing room, an
alter for leaving offerings for animals. Numerous photographs and
videos were taken and are being made into a short film.. We will
be hosting another environmental art event at Starseed in the
fall. Please stay tuned for details.

KindredSpiritConnect
Starseed
is a place where kindred spirits can come together and meet and hang
out with each other! We offer numerous events throughout the year
which offer opportunities to meet, greet and socialize with new and old
friends. At every solstice and equinox ceremony and every Prayers
for the Earth and the People of the Earth, we always share a vegetarian
potluck meal and lots of good conversation and laughter. We also
host numerous bon fires, drumming circles, concerts and other events
which are wonderful opportunities to connect with others and share of
ourselves. We hope you will join us for an event soon.
