Meditation Classes and Workshops:
These classes and workshops are designed to cover the practice of meditation within a persons life. These are not separate classes but are designed to be hooked together to make meditation as a full practice within your life.
What is the difference between Empty mind and full mind meditation practices?
Well in an empty mind practice you work to clear your mind of daily distractions. Some practices call this state of mind distractions the monkey mind. These are the worries of the day: did I turn off the stove, lock the house, this conversation I had with my boss did it go well, did I lose my job, etc. The point of empty mind practice is attempting to achieve the stillness between breaths, a point where there is no thought just simple existence.
With a full mind meditation you are concentrating on a concept or sound to the exclusion of everything else. Could be a drum, a singing bowl, spoken word, etc. you concentrate on that until you achieve the same stillness that is sought after in empty mind meditation.
So the goals are the same but the practice can be unique to you. It's got to work for you, and not everyone is cut out for every possible type of meditation out there. I for one find listening to a guided meditation to be the most irritating experience. I lead them for others, but I myself can't find the stillness or purpose when participating. I do recommend the introduction class and at least one of the intermediates prior to the advanced class, for intermediate classes I recommend taking the intro first just so you have the building blocks.

Meditation and Everyday life (mindful practice)
Advanced:

For martial artists, a breath or two and you enter a state of awareness and focus that allows more situational awareness.

Using Oracles Classes and Workshops
This series of Workshops and classes was created first to give people and intro to all types of oracles and how they have been used through the ages, as well as basic uses through more advanced courses teach the skills behind some of the more popular types. I have over 50 different decks, some I just have for the artwork but many I use to read from.
Introduction to oracles in a magical life:
This class is the general two-three hour class that introduces you to all the oracle types I have studied while providing you a hands on experience with some of them and an overview of the rest.
We will discuss everything from Fire/water/smoke/etc scrying, oracles with less prep like sticks/stones/i Ching/bones/palmistry as well as tarot/medicine/oracle cards. You will also learn a couple basic and more commonly used spreads for tarot cards.
There are many oracles I personally do not have in depthexperience with. For Those that I do, I offer more advanced follow-up classes. This class focuses on the concept that it is not the tool but the ability for the reader to connect with what they see as their divine connection.
