Sad News...Gone but never forgotten...

Our trusted friend, companion and Spirit Dog, Kalu died today.

Kalu was 15 years old and has been with us since he was born. He was and always will be remembered for his kindness and love for all who knew him and were "in need."

When we got him, I had asked Great Spirit for a special dog to help me with the new work that Smiling Bear and I were beginning here on the land. We needed something special to add to our ceremonies and events. Thus came our Kalu. He was named after Jesse Kalu, a flute player and singer whom we met in Sedona, AZ.

Our hearts are heavy with sadness but his spirit will live on for many, including us, in the years to come. Kalu was known for his "style and dignity" right up until the end. He was assisted in his transition by our home vet, Dr. Carin Rennings. Both Smiling Bear and I were with him till his soul went soaring off. He is buried here on the land beside his favorite tree.

We trust and believe he is, indeed, Journeying Well.

Reiki II class – January 8, 2012. Two openings. Call 301 854-0220 for info and a space.

Loki is now offering Quantum Touch with her regular Reiki Treatments. No increase in fees. Still $70 a session.
Stained Glass Classes: Loki is officially leaving the Columbia Art Center effective December 2011.

Loki is actively trying to get the Shop/aka Glass Studio, up and running at Sanctuary. Private daytime lessons are being offered.

Beginner Level classes have been on-going for two semesters now and all students have been totally satisfied. The weather will be a factor but Loki is optimistic that all is well and unfolding…..

A seven week course is being offered after Thanksgiving. Fee for seven weeks is $175. All supplies to do the work are on hand but the students will need to buy their own solder (about $13 per pound roll) and some may want to get a new personal glass cutter. Scrap glass is available in limited quantities for the small fee of $3 per pound.

Continuing students (those who have the basics of working in stained glass) is now called Open Studio Nite. There is space for 4 students plus a visit from Loki. Prior registration each nite is required so we don't end up with too many people at one time. Open Studio is not a class with steps of instruction, rather it is a friendly, open space to work with others of similar interest and "advice and hands on help" from Loki if needed and requested. This Open Studio is on a "love offering" basis. Usually $20 per nite per person will cover it. Studio is open on Mondays from 6:30 PM till 9 PM.
