Listening Workshop: You Talk and the Circle Listens
Noon-1pm, By: IllumIKnation Station Staff
In the self-obsessed digital age of blogs and selfies, the technology of communication has never been stronger; however, such ease of dispersing information means that few of us are prepared to so readily receive it – we rarely take the time to stop and listen to one another. Learn through practice what it means to listen attentively without judgement, preconceptions or recording. Salem is an experienced summer camp counsellor as well as a former teaching assistant for relevant courses at the university level.
Word Power: Classical Sources of English Vocabulary
1:00-2:00pm, By: Matt Wyzykowski with IllumIKnation Station

The goal of this workshop is to introduce attendees to basic Latin- and Greek-derived roots and affixes in common modern English usage as well as to provide an overview of the complex history of this language which has asserted its influence around the globe. This workshop’s presenter has a Bachelor’s degree in History and Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies from Penn State University.
History of Expanded Consciousness in the West
2:00-3:00pm, By: Professor Chrispy with IllumIKnation Station
Expanding your consciousness is opening the gateway to obtaining a new perspective on your reality. It is the process of altering our minds for the better, of evolving ourselves through conscious effort and divine inspiration. Westerners today rarely think about expanded consciousness. Though it has gained some traction with the influx of Eastern thought during the 1960s and 1970s, most still consider expanding their consciousness to be unimportant. However this is not true! For centuries westerners have altered their minds through fasting, mind-altering chemicals, isolation in nature, meditation, and more. Come learn about how westerns have historically attempted to expand their consciousness, and why.
Tarot Reading Workshop
3:00-4:00pm, By: Conor Fairbanks with IllumIKnation Station
Tarot, as well as being a deck of cards, is a complex form of divination. Using 78 cards, the tarot reader decodes the message presented; be it the future, the past, or life choices. There are many ways to interpret Tarot cards, and many interconnections and related pieces of symbology that are up for interpretation. As well as this, there are many spreads (ways to lay the cards), which can deal with all sorts of different situations. Tarot is both an eclectic and deep system of divination. Join Coner for a general discussion of Tarot including how to do simple readings.
Biological Kundalini: Reality Explained
4:00-5:00pm, By: Naomi J. Hennes with IllumIKnation Station

In this workshop, Heather and other OmBase personnel will share different practices of self- massage, self- healing, and energetic protection, including the use of massage tools and techniques of self-care. Sometimes it is nice to have someone else do the work for you- OmBase offers Massage Therapy, Thai Massage, Relaxation massage, shamanic healing, reiki, and more at our booth!
