SUMMARY:Patterns from the Past + Present Awareness Can Predict Our Future – with Pamela Cucinell\, Astrologer
DESCRIPTION:For thousands of years\, observation and interpretation of the solar system and its relation to points on Earth has informed the language and art of astrology. However\, a reverence for human reason banished the spiritual from science during the Age of Enlightenment. \nOne could argue the extremes with which we now grapple – between religious fervor and science – are the direct result of separation between spiritual evolution and technical achievement. \nIs it possible that the salve for our technological emphasis may be in found in a quest for the mystical? \nAstrologer Pamela Cucinell will provide insight into how science and the mystical arts can share households\, once again. She’ll explain how astrology offers avenues to self-awareness\, community and individual growth. During the experiential portion of the evening\, Pamela will ground us in a guided meditation\, guiding a dialogue with the mystical to transcend our seemingly impossible challenges. \nIt is suggested that attendees have a copy of their birth horoscope before the presentation – and registrants are encouraged to go to Astro.com to generate a free horoscope. The symbolic resonance will come alive and inform\, validate and provide guidance during the presentation. \n\nThis event is FREE\, but you must register.\nA confirmation and Zoom link will be sent to you upon registration. \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0td-ipqT8rHtee_a1pyr6aHbgO6tQRCS25 \n*****Please consider making a voluntary contribution of $10-$15-$25 or more – via our donation form so that we may continue bringing you quality KSG events free of charge.****** \n\nPamela Cucinell graduated from Syracuse University with a BFA in painting and spent her twenties coming to the realization the NYC Art World wasn’t her world. By her first Saturn Return (happens around 29 years old) she was in a full throttle search for purpose\, which brought studies of yoga\, meditation\, tarot\, reiki and astrology. She studied at the CS Jung Center and is a “graduate” of Jungian analysis. She holds the National Council for Geocosmic Research NCGR professional certification for astrological consulting. Pamela considers astrology a symbolic language she deciphers with the expertise of an artist and storyteller. \nIn addition to her work as an astrologer\, Pamela obtained Reiki Mastery\, and was the proud owner of the beloved metaphysical and wellness store in Mount Kisco\, Sunburst Oasis. She served as the Legal Information Chair for the Association for Astrological Networking (AFAN) as well as an active lecturer for the National Council for Geocosmic Research in NYC. She is co-director of WHN Westchester Holistic Network\, (WestchesterHolisticNetwork.org) and hosts monthly meetings to build community\, and writes the monthly Planet Watch column in Natural Awakenings. \nPamela\, her husband and her mother-in-law moved from New York to Chapala\, Mexico in 2019\, where she continues to serve clients in many time zones. \n\nPhone: 917-796-6026\nEmail Address: pamela@insightoasis.com\nWebsite: https://insightoasis.com/\nActive Spirituality Podcast: https://insightnow.podbean.com\n\n  \n\nThis event is FREE\, but you must register.\nA confirmation and Zoom link will be sent to you upon registration. \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0td-ipqT8rHtee_a1pyr6aHbgO6tQRCS25 \n*****Please consider making a voluntary contribution of $10-$15-$25 or more – via our donation form so that we may continue bringing you quality KSG events free of charge.******

So many men and women experience bowel/bladder and sexual dysfunction as a result of life events\, surgeries\, babies\, cancer or aging and changing hormones… Some don’t even know that they have pelvic floor dysfunction\, but have been putting up with urinary frequency\, constipation\, pain with sex\, or urinary incontinence\, thinking “this is just the way things are now.”  But Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is a first line\, evidence-based treatment that may help ease many of these conditions. \nIn this presentation Ronit will talk about what the Pelvic Floor is\, why it is important\, and the symptoms and conditions addressed in pelvic floor physical therapy.

SUMMARY:Horse Wisdom - with Carrie Brady\, JD\, MA\, Certified Equine-Assisted Learning Practitioner\, and Patient-Centered Care Expert
DESCRIPTION:Why use horses as sources of wisdom? \nHorses rely on collaboration to survive in the wild\, and have developed sophisticated systems for maintaining their own health as well as preserving the well-being of the whole herd. They are constantly vigilant for danger\, yet able to return immediately to a peaceful state of grazing when the danger has passed. They know precisely how to rebalance their energy and bodies. Horses also have insights to offer healthcare practitioners about how to partner effectively with their patients/clients\, as horses will not simply cooperate with recommended treatment; they must be effectively engaged in any treatment plan for it to succeed.  \nWhat practical knowledge can we learn from Carrie and her herd of horses?  \nWe’ll learn techniques to promote optimal health and well-being\, including strategies to release stress and “return to grazing.” Carrie will explore ways we can rely on our senses to integrate delight in every day\, and recognize and expand our “herds” of support. In addition\, health professionals and holistic medicine practitioners will be able to identify new ways to engage their patients/clients and develop effective partnerships across the continuum of care.  \nHow does this presentation match the KSG goal?  \nThe presentation relates directly to KSG’s goal of bringing together conventional health professionals and holistic medicine practitioners in exploring wellbeing and health. Experiential learning with horses is an emerging field that has demonstrated powerful results in both traditional medicine and holistic health. Stanford University\, for example\, developed a curriculum on Medicine and Horsemanship that pairs medical students with horses to learn how to create effective doctor-patient relationships\, the University of Kentucky has studied the effect of equine-assisted learning on developing emotional intelligence competencies in nurses\, and HeartMath and others have published research on the positive effects being with a horse has on participants’ heart rhythm and cortisol levels. As Winston Churchill said\, “there is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man” and research is proving he was correct. \nWhat will attendees experience?   \nThis program will be highly interactive and include a combination of presentation\, discussion\, and shared experiences\, including a guided meditation and creative activities designed to heighten participants’ senses and provide new perspectives. In addition\, the virtual gathering format will provide an opportunity to observe and interact with the horses as Carrie presents from the barn.  \n  \n\nView Carrie’s slides here\n \nView the video\, available until July 23\, 2021\, here  \nYou must use passcode  y73tboA@ to view the video \n\nAbout Carrie…  \nCarrie Brady\, JD\, MA is the Principal of CBrady Consulting and Executive Director of Possibilities Farm LLC\, where she partners with horses in innovative wellness and personal development programs. \nShe is passionate about helping clients recognize their strengths and achieve their personal and professional goals. She began envisioning the farm when she was a young girl and consciously created it to retain all of the magic and wonder of childhood\, combined with the most powerful transformational tools gained in her professional roles as an attorney\, executive\, healthcare consultant\, and teaching artist. \nCarrie has two decades of experience working with hospitals and is well-known for her engaging and experiential workshops\, presentations and publications\, as well as her creative approaches to support learning and problem-solving. She has served as a Vice President at the Connecticut Hospital Association and Planetree\, and has led national and international efforts to improve healthcare\, including a 26-state workshop series focused on. patient-centered care. \nShe is the author of the book HCAHPS Basics and several other widely used healthcare resources. Carrie’s diverse experiences as a teaching artist in programs for students with special needs\, a therapeutic equine care instructor\, and a reiki master blend seamlessly with her corporate work to create a unique perspective. Carrie’s educational background includes a JD from Northwestern University where she was an editor of the Law Review\, an MA and BA in Sociology\, and a Patient Safety Leadership Fellowship. She is certified by the Equine Experiential Education Association (E3A) and currently serves as Vice President of the E3A Board of Directors.

DESCRIPTION:  \nLearn to Integrate Healing Visualizations Into Your Clinical Practice \nWith Dr Jackie D.

SUMMARY:Relationships During Quarantine: How Has It Been? A discussion with Mark Banschick\, MD
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to a special\, free of charge event – a conversation about how COVID-19 and quarantine has affected our important relationships. \nIt’s been 100 years since the last pandemic. And\, as we emerge\, we are learning things about ourselves and the ones we love. Are these relationships working? Perhaps better than we thought? Or perhaps worse? \nIt’s time we process what we are going through. Join Dr. Mark Banschick\, an expert on marriage\, divorce and children\, to dialogue about what has been happening. There are lessons for us all to learn. For some\, things are looking brighter. For others\, it’s a confrontation with something that isn’t working\, and needs to change. \nWhile Dr. Banschick can’t fix a marriage or a relationship\, he can provide general advice to help folks move forward\, and discuss the experience of clinicians working under these new conditions. \nRead Dr. Banschick’s recent article for some talking points: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-intelligent-divorce/202004/how-covid-19-affects-marriage-and-how-adapt \nPLEASE NOTE: The information provided in this free webinar does not constitute medical\, counseling or legal advice. And\, it is an open forum. If anyone wishes to join the forum but wants to protect their identity\, they may disconnect their video and/or audio and change their username. \n\nMark Banschick\, MD is the co-founder of The Katonah Study Group. He is a psychiatrist working with both adults and children\, and the co-author of The Intelligent Divorce: Taking Care of Your Children by Mark R. Banschick and David Tabatsky. These books can be found on Amazon and also on Goodreads. \nDr. Banschick completed his residency in General Psychiatry at Georgetown University Hospital and a Child Fellowship at New York-Presbyterian Medical Center.  Dr. Banschick is also a contributor to Psychology Today with 40\,000 readers a week.

Our panel will discuss what we have learned and address several of these causes – including our food\, exposure to toxins\, and sleep and breathing issues. \nLearn more at sharpagain.org \n\n\n\n\nAll attendees must reserve in advance.\nAdmission to individual presentations is only $20 per meetings for non-members.\nPLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD VIRTUALLY\, USING ZOOM.\nWE WILL NOTIFY ALL REGISTRANTS HOW TO LOG ON. \n\n\n\n\n\nAlready a Member?

SUMMARY:Rebirth\, Emergence & Play – Introduction to Celtic Shamanism with Rachel Jesien\, Celtic Shamanic Practitioner\, Priestess of Goddess
DESCRIPTION:In Celtic lore\, Early February or Imbolc\, is the time where the old woman of winter passes her icy walking staff to the Maiden Goddess Brigid. As the young girl takes the staff with childlike awe and curiosity\, she strikes the earth and sparks the first rumblings of spring\, deep below the Earth’s surface. Marking the time of year known as The Quickening. During this auspicious time of year\, it is possible for us to shake off the sludge of winter and ignite our own fresh\, creative spark within.  In this 90 minute offering\, we will explore the earth based healing modalities of Celtic shamanism: Song\, Circle\, and Shamanic drum journeying. This workshop is open to all! \n\nRachel Jesien is a Seeress\, Celtic Shamanic Priestess and Yogini  dedicated to the healing of the Earth and all of Her inhabitants. Her spiritual transformation began with a 45 degree scoliotic curvature of her spine\, which left her with a broken dance career and paralyzed with pain. Her suffering became a catalyst for transformation as she began studying the physical body in depth\, and became an expert in the world of Yoga for Backcare & Scoliosis. \nAs her physical body became more aligned\, her psychic abilities opened up exponentially; a gift that had been long suppressed since childhood. She began studying Shamanism with Yukiko Amaya\, long time apprentice of Don Miguel Ruiz\, and was called in vision to visit Sacred sites across South America\, Australia and Europe. In 2017\, Rachel began her Priestess of  Goddess training in the Glastonbury Goddess spiralage. Rachel has since been guided to steward a piece of land in the Hudson River Valley\, where she leads retreats\, seasonal circles\, and healing seminars each year. \nHer vision for reconnecting diverse groups of people to the cycles of the moon and heartbeat of the Earth is of utmost importance. She now guides a global community in aligning body\, mind and soul through spiritual mentoring and leading Goddess Centered healing ceremonies in the Avalonian tradition. \nTo learn more contact:\nRachel Jesien\ninfo@racheljesien.com\nwww.mysacredspine.com\nIG: @mysacredspine\nFB www.facebook.com/mysacredspine/ \n  \n\n\n\n\nAll attendees must reserve in advance.\nAdmission to individual presentations is only $20 per meetings for non-members.\n\n\n\n\nMembers pay only $75 per year.\nThat’s a $125 savings if you attend all ten great KSG presentations!\nPurchase an annual membership (Sept – June)\n\nAlready a Member?

SUMMARY:Self-Love Through the Sacred Feminine in All of Us - With Jo Jayson
DESCRIPTION:Jo Jayson has channeled and painted thirteen beautiful representations and expressions of Sacred Feminine archetypes\, prophetesses and women of strength\, heralding the way to a unique path back towards self-love. This is a path that is laden with compassion\, forgiveness and courage. \nIn her award winning book\, Self-Love Through the Sacred Feminine\, Jo Jayson gives these thirteen energies and archetypes a voice\, explaining through channeled prayers\, meditations\, and healing lessons\, how to reconnect back with your own soul\, tap into your own innate wisdom and navigate your way through life’s challenges. Jo will explain how we are the expressions and reflections of the Sacred Masculine and Feminine and that we are ‘cups full of Source’™. \nThere is nothing more Divine than our own souls. We don’t get to reach more perfection than the stuff we are made of. Connecting back to this perfection is key to reaching acceptance and love for ourselves. Understanding that both men and women are swimming in a potent wave now of feminine energies that have been coming through for some time and are here to help balance and repair our unbalanced and damaged world. We can help this along by healing ourselves individually. Both men and women are in a time now of rebalancing and integrating these energies within themselves. Embracing the feminine automatically heals the masculine. \nThrough the channeled images and wisdom Jo has received from the spiritual realm that she will share with you\, we can learn a new way back towards ourselves. Through the paintings and teachings of Guinevere\, The Magdalene\, Brighid of Ireland\, Isis\, Mary the Mother\, Jeanne d’Arc\, Miriam\, Guan Yin\, Morgan le Fey\, Artemis\, Kali Ma\, Inanna\, and Grandmother Spider\, we learn how to love ourselves\, take back our power\, gain courage\, embrace our sensuality\, and weave the web of our own lives. \nAbout Jo Jayson\nBritish born and bred\, Jo Jayson is a self-taught painter. She began her career as a muralist in London\, Sydney\, and New York. In 2008\, she began expressing Divine Feminine energies into her own paintings\, completing her much-loved “Goddess Chakra” series. In 2011\, she unveiled the beginning of her “Sacred Feminine” series of paintings\, unfolding a body of work that contained thirteen channeled feminine energies. Jo has emerged as an internationally acclaimed intuitive artist and spiritual teacher\, helping women all over the world find empowerment\, healing\, and inspiration. She is the author of the award-winning book Self-Love Through the Sacred Feminine and sells her paintings\, prints\, guidance cards\, and meditation tools worldwide. Jo Jayson continues to channel the Divine into her paintings and regularly teaches self-healing workshops online and around the United States. \n\n\n\n\nAll attendees must reserve in advance.\nAdmission to individual presentations is only $20 per meetings for non-members.\n\n\n\n\nAlready a Member?
