Shepherd Hoodwin (shepherdhoodwin.com)

Saturday 10:45 - 12  Understanding Michael Charts 
Shepherd will be explaining the Michael Reading chart of an attendee who is new to the teachings, using it as a springboard into the teachings as a whole. We'll be looking at how the various chart elements interact with each other, and how they show up in our attendee's life. There will be insights for advanced students as well as beginners.

Saturday 2:30 - 4   Discerning Roles
Michael students often jump to conclusions about people's roles based on "circumstantial evidence". Learning to discern the "flavor" of each role, its feel and energy, and how it tends to manifest through the eyes and facial expressions, is a great tool for self-validation. I ask that everyone read beforehand "Channeling Michael Information More Than Once," a chapter from my book Journey of Your Soul that is available free here.

Friday 2:30 - 4 Four Types and Four Phases of Relationships:
In every interaction there are stages which deepen or minimize intimacy. The type of relationship may reduce what and how you relate to another. They are Acquaintance, Camaraderie, Friend, and Lover. Stephen will discuss how knowing each of these relationships can assist you in placing trust and conferring energy with someone more appropriately.

Sunday 9:30 - 11  Michael on Politics:
Michael will be discussing not only this election but 2018 and the interim energy that may drive the Senate to appoint Merritt Garland to the Supreme Court, or have the Democrats win the Senate in 2016 only to lose it again in 2018, how the upcoming recession will pivot the political process and more. These are Michael's opinions, not those of the channel.

Susannah Redelfs (councilofone.org)
Saturday 4:15 - 5:30  Being the Eye of the Storm: Tools for Navigating an Accelerated World:
The Council of One will coach us in tools and techniques for maintaining our balance and health when things seem chaotic, frightening and strange. The Council of One is a causal (5th Dimensional) "ad hoc" entity comprised of all the fragments of causal plane oversouls who are healing specialists. Susannah Redelfs is a healing practitioner and merged channel of the Council of One, who unconditionally share energy and teaching on matters concerning the health of all energy bodies and the evolution of all intelligence and consciousness.

Phyllis Magal
Friday 10:45 - 12  Cetacean Wisdom

Peter Winchell (MediationCorps5D.net)
Friday 4:15 - 5:30  Arica Zhikr

Zhikr -- Gateway to Divine Ecstasy.
Zhikr is a Sufi practice of breathing, mantram, and movement that creates a state of fana, or absorption in the Divine. Good exercise, deep breathing; wonderful complement to long periods of sitting. I was initiated into this practice by Oscar Ichazo of the Arica School in 1975. This exercise was joyfully received last year.

Other sessions on the schedule: 

Friday and Saturday 7-7:30 AM: Gentle Morning Yoga Stretch with Andrea Knuth:

Andrea has been a Bodyworker since 1990 and a Certified Yoga Teacher since 2007. Her love and passion is the slow and precise asana practice, focused on body awareness, alignment, relaxation and the joy of feeling connected to the body. This gentle 30 minute Yoga morning session will be designed in a way that anybody can participate, no matter what Yoga experience you might have or what “shape”  you are in.

Saturday 9:30 - 10:30 Introduction to Body and Spirit Workers:

The attendees at this Gathering are a very gifted group of people, many working as healers and channels of various kinds, with much they can offer to us all. At this session Rebekah Fairlight will introduce you to several of these individuals, who will then each give a short description of what the do and how you can arrange a group or private session, either at the Gathering or in the future. 

Saturday 7:30 - 8:30 PM -- Roundtable Discussion
Presented by Lenn Keller, Rebecca Silverstein, Cheryl Varner and Ruth Williams. We are four longtime Michael students, two old Priests, one old Warrior and one old Scholar. We are all women; three of us are African American, one is Jewish, and two of us are lesbians. We bring diverse backgrounds, identities, unique perspectives and queries of the Michael Teachings, which have not previously found expression. We will facilitate a roundtable discussion on how we Michael students can use the teachings as a pragmatic tool to assist with the transformation of the world and the ushering in of a mature soul level. 

Friday 7:30 - 8:30 PM  Steve Cocconi, MC. Past Lives Matter:
Which previous incarnations have had an effect on you in this one? What Sub-personalities have a past life remnant that is still prominent in your life? Or, knowing what you know now, what kind of incarnation will you be planning for the future to address some of the issue you have now? Round-robin sharing.
