"Spiritual & Practical Preparation for 2012”
with Mary Lou Christianson
Getting Ready for the Transformation
In this time of transition, we
ask ourselves what we really need to do to prepare for the
transformation that is upon us. Thoughts of what we should learn
and practice, what we should change, what we should store, where
we should go and how we should cope with what might be coming
are common as we confront the obvious signs of
inevitable change on our planet. Though there are varied
opinions on these things, some very strong common directions are
coming through which support the energies of living in LOVE
rather than FEAR. This is an opportunity to hear and share what
Spirit is speaking about the different aspects of life, and to
further develop within a joy for the things which are passing to
make room for the new paradigm.
Full Group Event on Saturday Afternoon (3:00 - 3:45 PM)
“Have You Ever Asked
What Spirit Is Needing Of You?”
A Spiritual Group Healing with Tony Gyenis & Susanne Shields
Everything in the Universe is energy. Different cultures have
used different names for this natural energy of the universe:
chi, qi, life force, prana and the Holy Spirit are just a few.
Energy healing balances the energy fields of the body to promote
physical, emotional and spiritual health. When we become distant
from the needs of our bodies, the ability for our body to heal
and empower our spirit is weakened. This resulting in signals
being given by the body in the form of pain or illness. We all
have the capability to heal ourselves under the right intention
and spiritual awareness. Some seek to achieve this on their own.
For those that seek our help, we work with your spiritual guides
hearing their guidance on how to raise your vibration and most
importantly, how to remain at this vibration to enable your
energy fields to reach their optimal performance. so to heal
yourself and reach complete happiness.
During this healing session once we receive your permission, we
will listen and communicate to the energies around you and
communicate these messages back to you; with the intention to
enable you to pursue your life path. Using tuning forks, angelic
meditation music and spiritual coaching, your inner messages
will surface giving you the guidance you need to take your next
steps. Your spiritual guides will connect with you and we will
channel messages specific for you. By sessions end, you will
achieve a clearer vision of yourself of where you are, where you
want to go and how to get there to experience a deeper
relationship with yourself and others giving you the opportunity
to connect freely to more creative ideas and feelings of joy.
Full Group on Saturday
Afternoon (4:00 - 5:00 PM)

Retreat Practitioner Offerings:
Crystal Quantum Energy
Sound & Light Therapy with Mary Lou Christianson:
Flowing in the crystal presence of Christ, MARY LOU and MARIO
(M&M) have developed a very intense and unique therapy using SACRED
FREQUENCIES and MUSIC combined with BREATHING. With their special
SoundVibrationTable (SVT), SoundVibrationChair (SVC) and
SoundVibrationPad (SVP), the whole body with its fine energies gets
tuned to optimal vibration again. Through this effective therapy,
human programs and addictions are easily, gently and quickly
deleted. Tuning into the harmony of our inner universe brings
transformation, so many clients have stepped into very deep
experiences through their sessions to receive healing and clearing,
awakening the Divine Inner Child, leaving the drama and stress
behind, and stepping into inner peace where conscious LOVE is able
to flow freely again. Sessions can be followed up with quantum
analyzation and remote frequency support for continued intense
transformation.
Relaxing Foot Massage

body. All parts of the body are found in the feet. Enjoy

Therapy with Angelic & Intuitive Healing with Tony Gyenis:

work he does; Certified Feng Shui Consultant; Licensed Spiritual
Healer; Tuning Fork Practitioner & Master Teacher for SomaEnergetics
(1st and only one in Canada); Angel Therapy Practitioner, Medium,
Long Distance Healer and Intuitive Healer. As an author and lecturer
he connects people to their spiritual side and to the energies
surrounding the bodies to attain the wisdom and clarity needed;
translating to helping you pursue your life’s mission. Tony's
training has been with the best spiritual instructors in the world:
Doreen Virtue; Nancy SantoPietro; and David Hulse. With the wide
variety of approaches that Tony uses he has incorporated Solfeggio
Tuning Forks with Angel Therapy accelerating the life force and
inherent power of his clients to enable their bodies to heal a the
cellular level creating a natural flow in your body. Your body then
recognizes this energy as free and making one feel in harmony.
Tony’s intuitive ability can sense what your body and spirit need to
connect together and matches the two to achieve this. By connecting
you to your natural state of being where you can sense and feel what
you need to do to attain your life purpose he says, “Your spirit
knows how to heal you and bring you to a state of well being. It is
a matter of being sensitive to what your spirit is demonstrating to
you so you can find your talents and gifts that lay under your
skin”. You will feel an immediate change in your energy and thought
patterns after just one session with him.
Channeling to
the Voice of the Higher Realms with Susanne Shields: Susanne is
a spiritual motivator, life coach and medium. Before working in the
arena of energy, Susanne obtained her Master Of Science in
Biostatistics and was working as a researcher in the areas of Cancer
and HIV/AIDS research. Combining this experience with her spiritual
side, she works with the energetic world with the same philosophy;
to seek the answers that are practical for those that seek her
guidance. Susanne's spiritual gifts enables her to communicate to
the energies of those she works with to understand the direction
they wish to head and once connected she seeks their advise on how
to guide her client toward that direction. Susanne’s approach of
delivering what you need and not what you want enables you to break
out of the old patterns that have limited your progress toward the
growth you want. Susanne's goal for you is to be in touch
with your boundaries, approach all relationships in your life with
unconditional love and move through life with no judgment or
assumptions. Susanne’s clients say that the channelings they get
from her is what they needed to hear to spark a positive thought
pattern that helped them move forward with clarity and confidence.
Together both Tony Gyenis and Susanne Shields are the ultimate
choice in attaining clarity and happiness in your life. In your
healing session we are both in attendance thereby accelerating your
energies to vibrate at a higher rate resulting in a feeling of
empowerment and surefooted on your spiritual journey.

and Susanne work together, you will need to purchase 2 practitioner
tickets for a session with them.

Intuitive Prayer
Counsel & Solfeggio Frequencies with Carla Reed:
After working with people in tuning sessions, I've come to
realize that many need and desire a deeper spiritual experience once
they have received balancing thru' the technique. I would like to
see and facilitate healing by establishing and extending it beyond
the table through the use of intuitive & healing prayer. However, it
is not necessary to have had a tuning to schedule a session for
personal prayer and intuitive counsel, along with my promise of
confidentiality, and a free music CD. 30 and 60 Min sessions
available

She and her Beloved Mario have established the Pilion Sungate
Center, named after their sacred place in the Pilion Mountains of
Greece where the centaurs brought healing to the ancient people and
the gods came to play in the summer. On 100 acres of amazing beauty,
this angelic portal in the eastern-most tip of Tennessee, in the
Cherokee National Forest, is home for those who want to transform
all energies into conscious LOVE. Here, they share the healing
energies and wisdom of Christ as they flow daily with the elementals
and angels who reside in this mystical place with them. M&M's years
together in Germany and Greece prepared them for this bringing
together of heaven and earth, combining ancient wisdom with the
quantum field knowledge that opens the excellerating gates of
frequency and vibration to facilitate clearing and healing for
transformation. Their experiences in the sacred places of Greece
with Pallas Athena and the other ancients who founded the spiritual
principles we embrace today will inspire and encourage you to live
fully the LOVE you are as the god/goddess you have always been. Mary
Lou continues to record profound, channeled healing and meditation
CDs as well as personal BIRTHSONGS in her studio and M&M offer life
transformation to those who come with open hearts to the Pilion

Tony
Gyenis has been operating a Natural Health
Centre in Ottawa, Ontario CANADA for 3 years with the approach that
the body “knows” how to heal, with the right balance of spiritual
“food” to survive and thrive. He began his spiritual journey in 1999
when his home-based moving business was having financial problems
and was working harder with less return. He then discovered Feng
Shui. After reading a few books he began to implement the principles
of this Chinese art to his own home. Within 30 days he started
seeing positive results in his clients and the number of referrals
that was being passed to him. He went from a $1,500 per month
business to $50,000 per month when he sold it 8 years later. In his
words, “I couldn’t keep up with the growth, so I had to sell the
business.” Tony knows about energetic flow and what intentions are
needed so energy flows and will manifest in the direction you want.
After the sale of his business he decided he needed a more formal
education in Feng Shui for his new focus on his clients, so he
choose a World-Renowned Feng Shui consultant and teacher from New
York, Nancy SantoPietro to continue his training. He was determined
to follow his path which lead him to Solfeggio Tuning Forks. At the
time Tony didn’t know much about the energy world and so when he had
to choose from a number modalities such as colour therapy,
aromatherapy, etc., none of them appealed to him but when he saw the
tuning forks with the tool belt, he was hooked. It was only after he
learned more about the forks that he excelled so quickly to bring a
new style to sound healing. Tony’s energy is infectious and it shows
that he loves what he does and has fun doing it.
He has paired up with Susanne Shields, a
very talented Channeler and healer, to conduct group sessions with
tuning forks; an industry first. With the voice of the higher realms
to guide them they are truly a healer of healers.
Lauren Lane Powell -
“I have been teaching people how to sing since 1989, first in
private vocal lessons, and now, full time, for the last 5 years in
workshops across the country. As I continue to study and grow, so
does my work! “Harmonies of Healing” came from my inner knowledge
that vocalizing is not some mysterious gift given to a chosen few!
It is for everybody! Singing makes me happy and keeps me young and
healthy! Let me remind you how good it feels to Sing!” Lauren earned
a degree in Voice and Music Education from Indiana University. Since
then, through her own vocal adventures and further studies, she has
rediscovered her own true authentic voice. It is Lauren’s mission to
help other people rediscover the healing powers their voice.

Health School of Massage in 1984 and received her Medical Massage
Therapist license in the state of Ohio that same year. Betty has
trained in many modalities including Medical Qi Gong in China,

Kathryn Mushinski is a Certified Sound Therapy
Practitioner (CSTP) and a Licensed Spiritual Healer. A
therapeutic effect comes about by disrupting the brain with
sound (forks, bowls, etc.). We are energy, and this therapy
uses sound to move and change energy patterns that may be
blocked in every chakra / energy center of our being. This
technique brings peace, change, healing, wholeness, and
brings energy from a survival level to a creative level.
With the use of SomaEnergetics Tuners, which are calibrated
to ancient frequencies that had been lost for several
centuries, we all have the potential within our grasp to
create positive changes within our body, mind, emotion and
spirit at a cellular level. Kathryn had a Divine
encounter in 1989 which began a transition in to a knowing
that living a healthy, prosperous life is intended for each
of us. She is a single mom of two, and is known as “Mama K”
by numerous young people.
Carla Reed:
Carla Reed is an ordained minister and musician who has
traveled literally
from "Sea to Shining Sea" across America. As a musician, she
desires to facilitate
an atmosphere of peace with beautiful melodies. She
has recorded several keyboard and piano instrumental CD's of
original music. Many have been touched and healed through
the "sound that heals" that comes from her heart and through
her fingertips. Music is available at
www.soundthatheals.com
or www.carlareed.com.
In 2000, she
began a mysterious journey to bless and gather the waters of
America, a journey that has led her to drive to 48 states,
and every corner of the nation. She has written a book, An
Adventure Into The Unknown, that contains stories & nuggets
of wisdom of her personal quest to know the "Voice of Many
Waters". Recent water studies by Masaro Emoto have validated
that she moved far beyond her logic and followed her heart
as the "Voice of Many Waters" called her name. So far, over
200 collective waters have been combined in that synergistic
voice.
In 2009, after
several years of interest in sound, tuning forks, and the
Solfeggio frequencies as a musician, she was drawn across
the country by the Spirit to meet David Hulse and Tim Leach,
who were hosting a SomaShare in Dayton. This resulted in a
surprising spiritual encounter for those attending, and led
her into the wonderful world of healing frequencies. Carla
is a Certified Sound Therapy Practitioner and Teacher with
SomaEnergetics and has introduced this marvelous technique
to many in the Northwest.
On a personal
note, she is the mother of four children, three of them
married with families and 14 natural grandchildren! Her
youngest son, Joshua, was recently discharged from the army
after six year of service and two deployments She is
delighted to have him home, employed, and enjoying his mom's
cooking. Carla resides in beautiful Liberty Lake, WA,
located on I-90 between Spokane and Coeur d Alene, ID.
Susanne Shields
has been working at the Natural Health Centre in Ottawa,
Ontario CANADA for 2 years.
Susanne was spiritually
connected her whole life but always wondered how her talents
could help people. She chose not to practice her talents as
all she could do was just read the energies around people
and what was the point of knowing the difficulties of their
life; she wondered how was that helpful? As Susanne moved
through life expanding her career and starting a family she
knew that there was energy that could be tapped into and
signal change in one's life. She believed that everyone has
the ability to change tomorrow based on their actions of
today. She wanted the ability to help people to tap into
energies that could help them in their situation and either
understand it, change it or move toward another experience.
As time passed and with the help of Tony Gyenis, Susanne was
able to receive greater guidance on being able to move past
the medium skills of merely reading the energies to her
present skills of being able to work with the energies
around people to give them messages on how to reach their
goals. She works solely with permission and does not read or
work with anyone's energy without being asked to. Feedback
from clients confirms that she comes from pure intent and
her goal is to help those that seek her guidance. Susanne
has been told she is a shining star in her client's life
that has illuminated their path toward success.
Barbara Symons is the wife of Lyle 34 years, Mother of three, Grandmother of 4.5,
Minister, Speaker, Teacher, Lay Counselor, and Writer.
"For as long as I can
remember even as a little tiny girl I have been interested in
spiritual phenomena. At age 6 I had a white light experience that
enhanced my desire even more. I walked, talked, lived, breathed and
was captivated by spiritual things. As a Child and adolescent I was
involved in mainline Christianity through my traditional Lutheran
Church, numerous home church meetings for youth and adult, Full
Gospel Businessmen’s Association, Jesus People, and retreats with
numerous evangelists.
As a young adult I
became disillusioned with all of it and stopped attending church and
meetings. I was re-immersed in church culture in my early 30’s and
my involvement in Christianity could be classified as
hyper-committed, hyper involved in anything fundamentalist. I was on
the Administrative Council of Elders at my church, Chairman of
Women’s Ministries, Deliverance Ministries and Intercession. In 1999
my world was turned upside down when I could no longer access my
religious dogma - like a computer that had been erased, my departure
from mainline Christianity was sudden and dramatic. I now consider myself
a recovering Charismatic Christian having had a spiritual
breakdown/through out of fundamentalism. My story provides a unique
view to the transition we experience when we are apprehended by the
Spirit and all of our religious palaces come tumbling down."
Pam Yount is the author of the book; "Wismatic"
is about a mother's oracle of the loss of her son to the AIDS virus.
A multidimensional chronicle of a uniquely personal experience
encountered along a journey awakening from a finite physical life
and crossing over to an infinite universe of spiritual creation.
