Incarnated Spiritual Beings:
How You Are Bridging the Heavens with the Earth
According to shaman wisdom and the celestial hierarchy, there are three different spiritual realms (earth, nature, celestial) with different spiritual beings that reside in each of these realms. We will discuss why spiritual beings from each of these realms choose earthly lives, how this is tied to human and spiritual evolutionary progress, and why many lightworkers/earth angels identify with more than one realm. Participants will take a unique vision journey to sense their guides and help them determine which realm they are from - if they are incarnated angels, incarnated nature spirits, incarnated star beings, or wise ones.

Britt Nesheim is a clairvoyant spiritual teacher who works with angels and spiritual guides to give people spiritual understanding and direction. Britt teaches in-person and correspondence classes for sensitive healers and healing with the angel, fairy and goddess realms. She offers Angel Readings, intuitive spiritual counseling inspired by angels. Since 1995, Britt has helped hundreds of people across the world connect with their angels and spiritual guides.

Orion Foxwood
Orion Foxwood
The Faery Paradise
Traditional lore describes Faeryland (the land of the Faery people) as a paradise filled with rivers of honey and mead where all is beautiful and the land is composed of living light. Other times it speaks of a place of haunting enchantments where the rivers are filled with blood and tears. It is described as beautiful, yet terrifying; welcoming yet frightening; ancient, yet ever young. It is said that this enchanted realm is always with us, yet just beyond the grasp of the five senses. It appears and disappears like an enchanted islandalways just before us, yet just beyond us, for it is neither here nor there. It is betwixt and between, a realm of infinite paradox.

In this workshop, Orion will discuss some of the traditional images of the Faery realms as the daunting underworld, the Garden of Eden, the land of the ever-becoming. He will also discuss some of the spiritual implications of these images and lead participants in a journey into this land of dreaming people with the intent of supporting and assisting our spiritual cousins in regenerating our world through fusion with the balanced, healing forces of paradise representing the original/ paradisiacal vision of the earth. This vision is timeless, ageless and still unfolding in the underworld of our planet and selves. Contact with the Faery Realms, our Faery cousins, the Dreamer in the Land and our enchanted selves creates a bridge between the Sacred Land and our surface world thus vivifying and regenerating it. This bridge-work is the true destiny of the human species. In this workshop, Orion will teach simple visionary and energetic techniques for attuning to, and opening out the Sacred Land and experiencing the power of place.


Breathing for the Land
One of the old Celtic names for a person skilled in the magical arts is Utterer. This name alludes to the practitioner's ability to attune to the Dreamer in the Land or Voice in the Cave and move its essence from the Faery Realms through their breath and into the surface world using sound or the spirit tongue. This ability was used by the Sybils (Mediterranean Seeress) of old who would speak from the mouth of a cave thus uttering the prophetic voice (or breath) of the land. Likewise, the concept of a spelle is the ability to speak forth creation. In this workshop, Orion will discuss the spirit tongue and lead participants through visionary work that attunes them to the cave of voices and the dreamer in the land. This work will conclude with each person uttering forth the breath of the land into this world for healing, transformation and the consecration of humanity place upon the sacred land.

Orion Foxwood is an Elder in the Celtic and Romano Celtic Traditional Craft, a High Priest in Alexandrian tradition and is the Founding Elder of the Foxwood Temple of the Old Religion. He is co-director of the Moonridge Center, a land based nature sanctuary and mystical educational center located in Maryland. He holds a Master of Human Services degree and is a Licensed Professional Counselor. He is a traditional Faery Seer and has taught these ractices as well as psychic development, American Southern folk magic and traditional Craft for nearly 20 years.

Peter Berry
Peter Berry
Bright Vision; Faerie Beings in Irish Story, Song & Poetry
Bright Vision is the translation of the title of a Gaelic song "Aisling Ghael", in which a Faerie woman appears to a man and they have a dialogue. Using imagery from Irish bardic sources accompanied by Celtic harp, we'll explore and experience the living tradition of human and Faerie interactions and communications. Part performance of Irish music, song & poetry, this workshop also has a component of empowered communion and communication with beings from the Faerie Realm in which interaction and interchange occur.

Peter Berry was enchanted by the sound of the Celtic harp when he was a teenager, and longed to get his hands on one. That didn't happen until he was 30 and moved from North Carolina to Seattle. Since then his passion for the harp and its music has led him on a journey of discovery. This has included an exploration of the lore and spiritual insight associated with the Celtic harp, its place in ancient Gaelic society and its relevance for our times. He has traveled to Ireland numerous times to commune with the muse and to research tunes, as well as to perform and to hear the Irish harp played in its native land by Irish musicians. A long-time student of RJ Stewart, he is devoted to the vitality of the Threefold Alliance between humanity, the Faerie Realm, and the living beings of the Earth with whom we share the planet.

Build Your Own Energy Sculptures
Randy has a system for building simple energy sculptures that he loves to share. Bring your own materials, Randy suggests 3 sticks from 6 inches to 6 feet, decorative wire, crystals, feathers, 3 to 5 or more metal rings (available in various sizes at craft stores or tandy leather), and anything else you would like to try to incorporate in your sculpture. They have a proven ability to attract Orbs, Fairies and other light beings, and do a great job of conditioning the energy and raising the vibration of a building or piece of property.

Randy Mead is a musician, producer, and film maker who is deeply involved with the healing properties of vibration. He wrote his master's thesis on Tuning and Psycho-Acoustics which launched him on this lifetime quest to understand the connection between vibration and consciousness. Randy has worked with Reiki, Shamanism, and quantum healing machines as synergistic compliments to sound healing. His newest CD, Ascending Spiral, incorporates scalar waves with the audio program for a multi- dimensional healing experience.

Hope Mead is an artist who expresses herself in many forms. She is a professional photographer, film-maker, songwriter, healing arts practitioner and mother.

While studying photography at California Institute of the Arts, in her early twenties, Hope traveled to a village in Liberia, West Africa with her Shamanism professor. It was there she had her mind expanded not only culturally by living in a polygamous society, but also through contracting malaria and having a near death experience.

In the Fall of 1973, two months after returning from W. Africa, Hope was introduced to Dr. John Lilly and began experimenting with his isolation tanks (sensory deprivation tanks). The first time Hope floated in the dark tank, she returned to the same place she had discovered in her near death experience, and was validated at a deep level about something she had known since childhood . . . we are aware of a very limited reality and we live side-by-side with other dimensions that are always available to us.

Hope and Randy are delighted to share these other dimensions through their photography and the Orb experience.

Corby Ingold
Corby Ingold
Faery Doctors and Indian Doctors -
A Cross Cultural Perspective
An examination/comparison of traditional spiritual workers in the Celtic lands and in Native North America. The workshop is based on an unpublished manuscript of Corby's investigating the notion of "Celtic Shamanism". There will be at least one traditional song/story about human/Faery relationships and a short practical working if time allows.

Corby Ingold first became interested in magic, Celtic and Faery traditions, and folk music as an adolescent. Spending whole days as a boy roaming alone in the woods of the Pacific Northwest he came to sense and experience a living, luminous world of spiritual potential within the green realms of nature. Discovering the Irish poet Yeats at 14, he became inspired to make pigrimage to Ireland and Scotland, seeking places connected with the poet and with the Faery faith. This he did after graduating from High School. Returning to the states he served an eleven year apprenticeship with a Native Salish healer and ceremonialist. Today he writes, leads workshops, and performs traditional Scottish music with the award winning ensemble Oran nan Car.

During a Dolphin Healing, Anne steps aside and receives visions and messages from the Dolphins and many other sea creatures and often times the Fairies come through in her sessions.

The Dolphins tell Anne that Fairies are like mermaids of the land. Often the coastal Fairies and Dolphins celebrate together in the moonlight and etheral dolphins come to Fairy gatherings to play and dance with the Fairies. Fairies help guide the whales when they get lost and if whale and dolphin babies become separated from their mothers the Fairies help guide them to reconnect. Each Dolphin has a Fairy helper.

At the Fairy & Human Relations Congress, we honor everyone's contribution. Each human, fairy and deva who attends brings their own special magic and knowledge to share. We are all students and we are all teachers and co-creators

We would like to be clear that every single person who attends the Fairy & Human Relations Congress adds to our group energy. Every one of us brings our Divine Essence to the congress and every one of us brings our spiritual allies. Every one of our presenters and every other single person brings something valuable to share. It is wonderful that we have well-known presenters who are among the world's leaders on fairy-related matters such as RJ Stewart and Orion Foxwood. But every one of our other presenters also has incredible things to share. And every single person and every child has things to share.

The congress is like an incredible symphony and each person is an integral part of the whole. We do make beautiful music together! The fairies, devas and other beings who attend all add to this grand symphony.

Knowledge, wisdom and friendship are available everywhere throughout the congress; in the kitchen, during the meals, in the parking lot, at the crafts booth, in the childen's area, etc. Not just at the formal workshops and not just by sitting at the feet of the more famous presenters. Everyone who attends deserves our love and respect. We are all co-creators at the event.

The Fairy & Human Relations Congress offers a wide diversity of workshops and presenters for several reasons. It is more likely that everyone can find something they are excited about attending in each workshop session. A wider amount of knowledge and insights are spoken about and offered to our community as a whole. Each individual can only attend so much, but as a whole, there is more knowledge shared by having more presenters. If you are having a problem choosing between presenters, use your heart to determine which workshop will be best suited for your spiritual growth at this particular time. Be in the now.

Consider the viewpoint that the more illuminated beings you get together in one place, the better off everyone is;
1) each one of us individually benefits from the energy field that we set up,
2) and we can do more good for the planet as a whole. When we do our circles, ceremonies and meditations, our united energies help the greater world.

Our goal is to get as many of the best fairy people as we can find to attend and participate. You can be one of them.

Blessings!
