I was inspired by a meditation to create a zendala in the garden this morning on a plate I bought from City Antiques. Come to my June 4th workshop to start your Zentangle journey.
Zentangle In The Garden!
Saturday, May 28, 2016 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM My House 1405 Spencer St NE, Grand Rapids, MI (edit map) Okay, I am trying something new and we will meet up in my backyard garden. Come and learn about Zentangle. Create Bijou tile zentangles inspired the garden! If you already have taken a class or learned Zentangle on your own come and share your art and experiences. If there is a Tangle giving you trouble come and we will work out how to draw it together. Bring your own supplies or supplies will be available for purchase. Please bring a $5 donation if you are able to offset hosting cost, if you can't please come anyway! The beginning of your Zentangle journey. Zentangle is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun mindful meditation that creates beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. Meditation and art have been paired together for a long time. Examples are the designs in sacred architecture, Chinese/ Japanese calligraphy, and Indian Mandalas. This is nothing new. Zentangle has just been able to translate this relationship into a simple easy method for all. Initially a Zentangle practice increases focus and creativity along with an increased sense of personal wellbeing. Then it becomes a tool to help gain greater control of the moment and moments of choice. This helps you respond intentionally rather than reactively. Finally this mindfulness is powerful, and an effective method of helping you enhance your productivity, empathy, compassion, inner peace, calm, positive emotion, and personal resilience in the face of change. Whether you are an artist or don’t think you have an artistic bone in your body, you can use the Zentangle process. Even if you don’t care about making art, you can use it to increase focus and creativity, connecting to your higher self or just for relaxation and fun. For many, the art itself is simply a side effect of the method. People all over this world, with a wide variety of skills and ages, enjoy and practice Zentangle. The creators of Zentangle believe that life is an art form and that the Zentangle Method is an elegant metaphor for deliberate artistry in life. 3 Hour Workshop: Learn the basic terms and techniques to start practicing this mindful meditation. Create three Zentangle tiles, and see how powerful they are for you and as group by creating tile mosaics. Learn how to see the tangles in everyday life. All Supplies Are Included Price: $35 per Person Date: June 4, 2016 Register at: http://starnations.org/star-nations-academy/ Place: Star Nations Academy, 12841 Hillcrest NE, Lowell MI Presented By: Dani Ehlenfeldt CZT, Awenydd The year at The Great Lakes Retreat, I will be presenting a week long workshop in Discovering your Geas (Guyis).

So Cyber Monday is here and I am offering a special on my Awenydd Oracle Cards now through Christmas they are $30 and if you order by Friday I am offering free shipping for cyber week. Just message me if you want to order. I have included some new photo of the oracle deck. Happy holidays to all!
So I had all these plans to do a blog and pictures of my trip to Tahquamenon Falls and post a card for last week, but low and behold the universe had other plans!. My sister and I arrived at our campsite at the lower falls, and no signal on the smart phones, no signals on the wifi anywhere in the state park. So instead I am posting the card for this week. So I star by giving thanks for me, and for the wonderful, restful, and inspiring trip to the falls. For me this week, this card is already helping me process all the wonderful elemental magic around me during my trip to Tahquamenon. I have spent this morning relaxing as I am listening to my guides, fairies, and new friend that came home with me. Already they are feeding me inspiration and encouragement. During one of the nature hikes I took at the falls there were these amazing fungus formations, the likes I have never seen before, and I am sure if we had been hiking at night, they would have glowed in the moonlight. No shocker, as I was relaxing ready the current issue of Witches & Pagans, and in the recommended resources, the book Plant and Fungus Totems by Lupa, jumped of the page. Obviously you now all know what my next book purchase will be, as my new fungus friends are cheering my on. When you take tike for your self and realize how powerful you are, you will start to hear and realize all the messages being sent your way.
This weeks card is the Passion Card. Think of where your passion lies and figure out how you can express it more fully in your life. For me this a continuation of the balance card from last week. I am stepping forward into my passion of art, sharing, and shamanism by jumping into teaching. I am working with the Star Nations Academy, to offer Zentangle Adventure Classes. I am also starting to work on putting together possible classes in The Heart of Being Awenydd, which will touch on different aspects of Celtic Shamanism. I also am seeing the threads connect, I love to garden and have an abundance of produce that I am canning. As I stir my tomato sauce, or my pickling juice, I notice that I am using the same stirring method use in Bio-Dynamics. Filling all my canned goods with the positive energy of the elemental kingdoms, can you say Yum! I also thought about the witches from MacBeth, as my sauce simmers and bubbles. And say a quite prayer of thanks to all those wise women, witches, and my mom for helping me continue to allow my cauldron to bubble and boil. I encourage everyone to take a step outside their comfort zone and live their passion.
