The spiritual aspects of Snakes and Fire have been intertwined in many ancient cultures around the world. We see in the bible that Jesus advises his disciples to be as wise as snakes as they walk amongst the deceptive wolves in sheep clothing. In ancient teachings from India, Egypt and Meso-America, the snake symbolizes the energy of divinity and enlightenment. In India, Shiva the divine aspect of Consciousness is depicted as garlanded with snakes, Buddha as well is depicted as being overshadowed and protected by serpents. In both disciplines, the Goddess Kundalini is depicted as a fiery snake, she represents the incarnated divine force of enlightenment and trans...

How to Write a Press Release

How to Write a Press Release? So, how to write a press release? That's a million dollar question. If done right, it can indeed bring you a million dollars in revenue. Let's get started by answering what a press release is. "A press release is simply a statement prepared for distribution to the news media announcing something claimed as having news value with the intent of gaining media coverage." A press release consists of following elements: Headline The headline is the first single line of text in the press release and tells what the press release is about. It can be a very effective tool to grab the attention of the journalists, so writing it from a journalists perspective is very important. Think what headlines catch your eyes in the newspaper. The headline should be descriptive but not too long. For the later reason, PRLog limits it to 100 characters. The headline should be formatted in title case, that is, each word in the sentence should have first letter capi...

SAC Shamans Camp Project August 2024 Update

After getting positive feedback on past Shamans Camps we at the Shamanic Arts Center are satisfied that a camp gathering is an effective preservation method for shamanic culture, how dependence on the fairgrounds in Hotchkiss for the Camps has proven to be problematic. The major problem is the fairground's rules against fires (no matter how small) while we feel that fires are essential to a ceremonial gathering.  We have decided to restructure the camp into a smaller more intimate gatherings of elders & wisdom teachers with an emphasis on ceremonies and talking story around a sacred fire (see schedule @ https://tockify.com/traveling.shamans.camp/pinboard .) Traveling Shamans Camp 2024 will be hosted on the SAC grounds (with a fire) but entrance is limited to only 20 per day. We have decided to move public fundraising efforts such as vendors away from the Traveling Shamans Camp and into the Barter Exchange Project. With this change vendor tickets have been withdrawn for this yea...

Shamanic Arts Center founders Julia and Mike Widdop arrived at Rangely for the Canyon Pintado Sa re cd Witness Project field trip on June 21, 2024 about noon.  This is their report. After lunch at Rangely's charming Main Street Cafe, we conducted a little reconnaissance to locate petroglyph sites and determine how difficult it would be to hike into them. Afternoon thunderstorms set in as we headed down Dragon Trail, A dirt road west of the highway where several sites were located. We wanted to see the Carrot Men site, especially. The road was well graded but as the rain continued the surface became slippery and we went as far as the turnoff to the Carrot Men site and decided we had better head back. We knew the majority of sites off the highway had good access to parking areas because we passed them on the way north from Fruita. The sites are well-marked and the trails are obvious. No problem getting to the rock art.  We ended up camping at the Rangely Campground. a beautiful ...
