Guest guest Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Australian Song Flag Workshop Immerse yourself into the totems of Australia, connect with these amazing animals and paint their colourful symbols on your own Song Flags and call in healing. Sunday, July 6th. 10 am – 4 pm at: The Caritas Spiritist Center 3775 Iris Ave., Suite 3B, Boulder 303-449-3066 $90.00 - fee covers instruction and materials. Please bring food to share for lunch and morning & afternoon tea. Song Flags are the aboriginal equivalent to the wonderful Tibetan Prayer Flags. " Singing things up " is akin to praying, meditating, calling in your totem energies for guidance, protection or help. In this workshop we will explore the strengths and characteristics of these amazing Australian animals, connect to them and then one by one paint their symbols on our own flags. We have been given permission to use the uniquely Aboriginal style of painting to create our own beautiful Flags. Your completed flags are to be hung up outside to wave in the wind, to give life and energy to the symbols, to call in peace and harmony and to honour the elementals and the universe from which we all come. These flags will assist in your healing and that of your family, community and mother Earth. As they move in the flow of the breeze they energize and balance. Sue Ewart is a Celtic/Australian woman is honoured to bring the 'Song Flag Workshop' to Loveland.USA. In Australia Sue is a drum maker and drum making teacher, an alternative healer with stone massage, medicine wheel healing and journey work. She and her husband Don manufacture tipis and teach Straw Bale Building. Together they are very active with Spiritual Unity of the Tribes 'bringing the four coloured races together in a good way supporting Black Elk's vision' and have many strong bonds and friendships with Aboriginal Elders around Australia. Minmia is an Aboriginal senior woman, grandmother, educator, artist and healer. She is a custodian of women's lore/law of the Wirradjirri people (an Aboriginal nation in New South Wales stretching down to Dunedoo in Victoria). Minmia believes strongly that these powerful symbols need to be releasedand that they need people to connect to. They need to be honoured and energized for their own healing and to help heal mother earth. To support this evolution, Min has given her permission for Sue to teach this workshop and pass on the knowledge. You can read more about Minmia and her works and recently published book " Under the Quandong Tree " www.minmia.com.au <http://www.minmia.com.au/> PLEASE BRING: Newspaper to dry your flags on, an old t-shirt or apron, something to mix paints in if you have it (old ice cube tray or egg tray) your own brushes if you have favourites we will be using acrylic fabric paint.
