You will be guided into a state of deep relaxation and then into deeper levels of consciousness where you have an opportunity to explore new potentials in thought and action, as your total self becomes your personal gateway into profound forms of perception, the jumping off place for self healing, remote viewing, shamanic experiences, lucid dreaming, out of body experiences and more.

Some of the exercises we will do over the weekend include:

Learn to be fully awake and asleep at the same time
Learn to access non ordinary states of reality for personal growth
Self Healing - letting go of old patterns and beliefs and fears
Problem Solving - getting answers to any question from your Higher Self
Memory - use this simple technique for remembering dreams or anything else
Creating protective energy around your body
Color Breathing -using color to assist in creating balance and health

Light lunch and snacks will be provided both days.

Participants need to wear comfortable clothes, bring water and if you wish, a reclining lawn chair and blanket and pillows because you will be listening to taped exercises for most of the workshop through headphones, which will be provided, so please bring whatever you need to bring to be comfortable.

Dream Analysis Class - NEW!

Presented by Angela Celi

November 18, at 3 PM
2-2 1/2 hours $20 per person
Location - Pipestem Spa, Pipestem, WV
(304) 466-1767

To Register - please contact Anna at 304-466-1767, or AWhite777@aol.com

Bring any dream that you would like to work with, and you will learn to analyze it from 4 different perspectives, including the two most famous dream analysts, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, (Freud wrote “The Interpretation of Dreams” and Jung was his protégé). Also presented will be the unique approaches of Louise Hay and Edgar Cayce, who both taught that your pathway to healing is from within, and available to all who will search inside.
Angela Celi suggests 'incubating' a dream for the several nights before the class. Before you go to bed, write down a question you have in your life, for example, “Am I following the right path?”, or “What do I need to do to improve my current situation?”, or more specific questions such as “Am I making the right choice with a new job?”, then go to sleep. In the morning, immediately upon awakening, write down as much as you can remember about any dream activity. Bring your dreams to class and be ready to learn how to use your dreams to help you understand your life and create your future.
Angelica Celi is a recent graduate from Florida State University and has been interested in dream analysis for many years. She has learned to use dream analysis to help with many types of life issues and problems and is delighted to share her expertise in this class. Angela currently lives in Virginia Beach, VA where she is enrolled in the Edgar Cayce School of Massage and is a member of the Association for Research and Enlightenment (the ARE), an advanced school for learning to apply spirituality and holistic healing to help with practical issues.


Raindrop Therapy Class
See pictures of our last class!

Presented by Anna White Ferraraccio

Thursday, March 14, from 5-9 PM
$55 per person
Location - Pipestem, West Virginia
(304) 466-1767


To Register - please contact Anna at 304-466-1767, or AWhite777@aol.com

This is a hands-on class, designed to give participants the basic knowledge to perform and experience a Raindrop Therapy treatment. During this class, participants will learn about the essentials oils used during the treatment, observe a demonstration, and then both give and receive a full Raindrop Therapy treatment. All essential oils necessary are included in the class and a take home-kit will be available for purchase, if desired.

In Raindrop Therapy, pure essential oils (herbal plant extracts) are dropped "raindrop fashion" along the spine and gently massaged in. When hot, moist towels are applied, the oils penetrate into the muscles to help them relax. The spinal nerves affect all the muscles and organs of the body. While this treatment is very relaxing, people often report having a sense of emotional calmness, feeling more grounded and centered, and sometimes report more cognitive focus and mental clarity afterwards.

To receive the best results from your personal Raindrop Therapy treatment, it is best if you don't schedule anything too strenuous and can relax and rest. During your Raindrop Therapy treatment, your back will be exposed in a warm room, t-shirt and shorts/sweat pants or similar attire suggested.

All materials will be supplied, including tea and snacks. You can expect a very relaxing experience, and may enjoy changes in your mood, physical body (especially your back, neck and hips) and your mental and cognitive abilities for a few days after the class.

Anna Ferraraccio holds advanced degrees in Psychology and Education and currently combines her work as a Spiritual Healer with psychotherapy and bodywork. Anna is an Accredited Outreach Trainer for The Monroe Institute; graduated from the Edgar Cayce School of Massage (ARE) in Virginia Beach, and a graduate the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, 4-year college level program for professional healers.
