Howdy Folks!

Seemore Bones here, for another bones report!

AFH 101 pm

Yeppers, its Summer. Well, it aint summer, its still spring, but it
might as well be summer, the weathers nice, heck its hot! I waited all
winter for the chill in my bones (that's all I got) to go away, and
now… its gone! Heehaw!

Its warm! I want to dance! And sing! And play in the sun! I want to
travel the globe and join a coalition! I want to wear a bikini and put
on sun lotion… oh wait… um… I mean…

I mean, I want to go to class! This Tuesday!

Tuesday Evening we will reconvene the "Anatomy for the Healer: A4H
101" pm class. We took a little break in there, due to scheduling
mishaps and Jade's departure for Californ-i-a. But its time to get our
ASIS(es) back to class! So to rock things of we will be having our
"Simi-Annual (first time ever) don't blast off to never never land
Pizza Party! (SADBOTNNLPP)"

So we'll see you in class Tuesday Evening for Pop, Pizza, and the
muscular system.

Not enrolled in the Tuesday evening class, yet? There is no time like
the present to join. Come on in this Tuesday, no RSVP necessary, and
we'll take care of the enrolement over pizza. A4H 101 is a part of a
year long training in eastern, western, and energetic anatomy. More
info at www.pinh.org


NEW LOCATION

As you probably know, we got the space! We have a new space in
Florence, MA. It is big, bright, and totally swank! Or it will be once
it's painted, fixed up, and we are moved in! You can help! We have the
plans, the supplies are being researched and purchased ASAP, and we
need hands to help. So if you would like to volunteer, this is your
opportunity to help Pangaea take this necessary step forward.

Rescheduled classes:

Yep, we rescheduled some classes. Not a move we like to make, but its
better than canceling. So next month there will be one more workshop,
and we will be meeting TOMORROW (Sunday) and NEXT SUNDAY as well.

All other workshops and classes are As Scheduled. There is a nasty
rumor going around that workshops are every-other-weekend. While this
is often the case, it is not always so. There are at least one
workshop per month, two most months, and if and when a workshop is
moved, it will be placed in the following month (when ever possible)
this doe not change the rest of the schedule. Please download your own
copy of the schedule. It has not changed since it was published. It is
the most accurate and reliable way of knowing when class is. Teachers
and fellow students can make misstatements about the next class date,
but the schedule does not lye.

Speaking of that: My apologies for the Muscle Workshop

As you know, the muscle workshop had to be moved. It will be moved to
MAY. Next month, if there is a weekend you would prefer the muscle
class NOT to fall on, let us know ASAP. Otherwise it will be scheduled
at Stephen's convenience.


Apprentices Needed

Diggin' the program? Want it to be even more fun and exciting? We'll
lets get the word out! Students can start the Healing Arts
Apprenticeship at any time! The best time for them to start, is now!
We are looking for 3 – 5 new students who wish to develop their skills
as a bodyworker, who are looking to expand their horizons with the
theory and advanced technique that is only available here, if you know
someone who wants to learn reflexology, medical massage, hydrotherapy,
aromatherapy, or integrative Taoist and Ayurvedic theory, bring them
to class. Their first Tuesday evening is free, or they can drop in for
a short segment of a workshop. Consider yourself and your friends invited!

Summer Immersion

We are doing a summer immersion version, (say that nine times fast
"immersion version, immersion version…" of the program this summer. It
is a 12 week program, which meets 3 days a week, 5 hours a day. If you
know someone interested in the program but can't make the year
commitment, this might be for them!

The Immersion also includes, get this, guest lecturers, Biodynamic
Cranio-Sacral and 5-element acupressure! Apprentices can sign up for
these extras at no additional charge!

Bodywork BODYWORK BODYWORK!

Apprentices get 2 free sessions a month with Stephen. Schedule yours
today!

Well, I do reckon that about RAPs it up!

Hey everybody!
So just wanted to give a reminder about the upcoming class I'll be
teaching: "Herbs for the Spirit, Heart, and Mind"
Wednesday Feb 6, 7- 8:30 at my home in Northampton. Class is open to
all, with a suggested donation of $5-$15 (free to pangaea apprentices)
for those who feel compelled!

The "spirit" or "shen" has long been regarded as the connection
between the heart and mind...and we can work with spiritual and
heart-strengthening herbs in our lives to strengthen this connection.

We'll play with roses and cardamom, discuss the use of certain
essential oils and herbs, and cover some categories of herbs that
relate to this broad and important subject!

Call 413-585-0692 for directions and to register

Hope to see you there!

Peace,
Jade

Howdy Y'all

Classes will be held at our home until further notice. All classes are
as scheduled, times and dates have not changed. Call for directions.

Be Well,

Stephen

Hey! It's Andrew! I want to start doing some trades SOON! I need to
practice some massage stuff!

Anatomy for the Healer:

Tonight begins the Tuesday night portion of the A4H series. 6:30 –
9:30 pm at Indigo.
Hope to see you there!

This weekend is the first medical massage workshop of the year! The
Extremities! Class will be from 10:30 – 4:30 Saturday and Sunday!
We'll see you there!

Admin report:

I went through and changed people's settings. A lot of people where on
`individual emails' which in my experience is quite annoying to
receive all those emails. So, if I made this correction in error,
please feel free to change your settings back or email me to change
them back. Otherwise, if you where receiving tons of annoying emails
form the group… they should calm down now.

peace

Howdy Folks,

Seemore Bones here with another BONES REPORT.

I'll keep it short and sweet today…
 

PANGAEA RADIO!!!

Well, sort of. Stephen is going to be on the radio TODAYNovember 30^th at 3pm! Andwouldn't you know it, but he'll be talkin' about this here institute!

Michelle McCarthy is the host of the show "It's all abouthealing." Some of you may have met Michelle in the foot reflexology class thisyear. Well, guess she liked class so much she wanted to interview Stephen forher show.

So please check it out at 1250 AM on your dial or if youcan't get it try www.realoldies1250.comand click "listen live".

So please listen and send your energy… and if you have afriend who is thinking about bodywork training listen with them, ok?

2008 Schedule has arrived!

Yep, its true. Just go to www.pinh.organd check it out! There are also some exciting changes to the apprenticeshipand some amazing new classes as well. You can download the new class catalogand check out all the new classes in there.

… and now a message from Stephen…

Ok, I made some significant changes to the schedule and someof the programs. I have added some really important classes that I hope youwill all take advantage of.

Quarters

The school year is now divided into quarters. Within thesequarters can be seen an obvious and predictable pattern. For instance Anatomyworkshops always acure on the same weekend of each month within each quarter.This will help you to plan and prepair for classes more easily.

The Anatomy for the Healer

I have re-evaluated this program and have decided to add aweekly component. I have re-organized the series with this weekly component inmind. Unlike the Exploring Reiki series which people sort of drop in from timeto time… Attendance is expected for all classes within the series forapprentices and others taking the series. Of course if your sick, dying, orabducted by aliens for the evening… well just call and let me know you'll beabsent and get the notes from a fellow student.

Clinical Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is the use of water in its three forms solid,liquid, and vapor to elicit healing. I have taught hydrotherapy in massageschools for a number of years and have added it to the curriculum at Pangaeabecause it is highly effective as a form of treatment and is complimentary tomost other forms of therapy.

Clinical Aromatherapy

Many people have been asking me to teach some workshops onaromatherapy. So, I have put together quite the program. Aromatherapy studentsare expected to take the hydrotherapy and anatomy for the healer's series asthose components are necessary for the student to fully comprehendaromatherapy.

I have divided the apprenticeship into several differentpaths for those who may be interested in some subjects but not others. Allapprentices are expected to choose a path. Those interested in all comingclasses may choose "Somatic & Energetic Medicine Path" as that is the fullapprenticeship.

Sessions

Some people aren't cashing in on their sessions… soundfamiliar? Well, this is just a friendly reminder that in order to receive thebenefit of the 2 free sessions (apprentices only) you must schedule themthrough indigo.

Jade will be offering one free herbal consult per season toall apprentices. Jade will sit down with you; discuss your health and wellnessconcerns and then design a formula specific for you. From there, you can haveyour formula filled at Goldthread Herbal Apothecary. The consultation is freeand the herbs are affordable. So, don't miss out on this opportunity.

…back to you Seemore…

Ok, well thanks y'all, check out the updated information onthe webpage for sure! Download the new class catalog as it has fulldescriptions of everything Stephen is talking about.

LAST CLASS OF THE YEAR!!!

MEDICAL MASSAGE for the internal organs
DECEMBER 8th & 9th
Discount if payment in full by December 5th

Be Well,

Seemore Bones

Hey Dan,

Thanks for the research. I don't know this guy's work at all. I
watched the lymph technique, can't say fore sure but it is different
from what I learned. I'll keep watching. Nice video though. Anyone got
a cam? Wanna help me make videos for correspondence and study guides?

Workshop postponed:

The Electric Body: Organ Systems East & West

I am postponing this workshop. I apologize for the inconvenience. A
lot of people who realy wanted to take this workshop couldn't make it
due to my mistake of scheduling it on thanksgiving weekend.

I don't know the date I will reschedule it for at this exact moment.
So sorry for the mishap! The good news is that out of an entire year
of classes (the first year Pangaea has been in New England) this is
only the second workshop to be postponed.

Be Well, happy holy days, eat your veggies, etc.

Stephen

dearest pinheads:

While recovering from the flu I immediately succumbed
to following our workshop last weekend, I came across
an interesting website on medical massage.  Go to
www.medicalmassage-edu.com and check out clips from a
12 volume "DVD encyclopedia" on the subject (with many
lengthier clips available for free viewing on
youtube.com).  Of particular interest to me was the
material on lymphatic drainage.  If you check out DVD
#5 there is a quick clip covering the "pumping"
technique for opening lynphatic ducts that I know some
of us were curious about from the previous workshop.

Stephen, are you familiar with this guy?  I like his
philosophies and teaching style but personally, I
wouldn't know good technique from bad technique. If
this guy's info and methods are solid and these DVDs
were a good reference, I could see maybe investing in
one or more of them some day.  Any thoughts or
opinions on this guy, or any other video massage
reference materials, would be welcome (on or off the
Pinh list).

pieceout,

-D

Letter to work-trade-work-study-apprentices

Howdy Folks,

First off, I want to say, you are doing a kickass job! And that I honestly, and completely appreciate your efforts in making Pangaea possible for yet another month of workshops.

You may hear me speak in terms of month to month, and that may bring up questions in your mind. Let me clarify. I have been soul(y) running Pangaea in one form or another for several years now. It started way back when when I only taught and practiced reiki. As I have grown and studied other modalities, I have added them in. When I was in Austin, Pangaea was a part time gig, I only taught once – twice a week, and the hours where much more like the ongoing classes we have now. That was then…

Now that I am here in the valley, I am taking this opportunity to truly manifest what I believe in. As all regions have an energetic archetype, I believe the valley is all about manifesting what we truly believe in. so, that is what I am doing. This is the full moon vibration of bringing things into fullness and fruition. As we do this (yeah, I said we) we must work together to smother out the knots in the muscle tissues of Pangaea.

I speak in terms of month to month, because each month Pangaea evolves a little bit more. No two months are the same (thank god) and as problems arise they are quickly dealt with. This is an evolutionary process. How Pangaea is today is not how it will be in 6 months. So let us create what we wish to see in 6 months today!

One of the biggest challenges in any organization is communication. Clear delivery! Clear reception! In the past month, having a small army of us together has been really helping me understand where I can improve on this.

So I have put together some RAP Sheets. Not familiar with the term Rap sheet? Well, basically it is usually a one page description of a project, job title, etc. Raps are for self motivated, creative individuals (like yourselves) to provide a skeleton of a framework so that you can spend your creative juices on more important pieces of the projects you are working on. You will find them in the documents section of the yahoo group. I would like them to be read ASAP. Preferably within the next 24-48 hours.

Rap sheets are living documents. That means they are always evolving and feedback is appreciated. I want you to be happy with your job and with your training. I want you to feel both that you have given enough and received enough.

If I may digress for a moment… Usui Sensei, founder of reiki believed not only that there must be compensation for training, but that it must be equal. That both the teacher and the student must feel they have given an adequate amount for their training. By giving an adequate amount, we value our training. By working for something we are more likely to utilize it to its fullest extent. That being said… I want you to believe in your contribution to Pangaea and honor your work here.

So, I have uploaded some RAP SHEETS which should help clarify any place where I may have been aloof, vague, unclear, or you just forgot what was said. These duties as described are to be followed until they are changed. That means that I am totally open to feedback and input. But until the rap sheet is changed, you will want to go ahead and do at least what is described and any additional work is always appreciated. I just want to be very clear on this… I want your feedback. I need your feedback. But as time is always ticking away, go ahead and do it as described or better and then we can adjust things later.

Now I would like to take a moment to thank you individually…

In alphabetical order as to not play favorites.

Dan – thank you for firing away at the flyers. I have heard rumor of there presence at various places around town. I haven't seen them myself, but I haven't been out much. So thank you. Keep up the good work! I hear Amherst needs a smack down.

Jade – thank you so much! Your flyering job has been most impressive. I aint seen flyring like that since the 60s.

Jenn – thank you for calling everyone. I hope they have all gotten back to you by now, and are all going to be in every class every day. but… that's their work. Yours is being that friendly receptive voice on the other end. Calling people, being a human voice, informing them without selling anything – that is awesome! Thank you.

Maddie – what can I say? That flyer is kick ass! I really enjoy the down home style, sort of radical-rebellious meets training… just what I like to see :) On those regards, I have a few more projects for you. So call me and I'll call you, one of us will get the other.

Selena – I am really excited you are taking over exploring reiki. Your talents as a teacher will be best used teaching people their highest state, meditation. I look forward to working with you on the sacred secrete super hero project. Shh…

One last thing | then I will leave you be

Absolutely need from everybody a list of flyering routes both what you have done and what you plan on doing, ideas for places, etc. I need this list so I can share it with everyone else. No secrete lists or what ever. We need a team effort, ok? We can divide up cities if you like, territories within cities, etc. but I need to know where these puppies are going. In the mean time though, be patient, keep flyering, if there is a flyer already there how is it? Does it need updating, are tabs pulled? Is it buried under a stupid cell phone flyer or is it up front and personal? Adjust, rethink, enjoy.

Rowdy Blessings,

Stephen

THE BONES REPORT: The Official Newsletter for the Pangaea Institute of Natural Healing
SEEMORE BONES, Chief Editor for the bones report

Howdy folks!

Seemore Bones here kickin' it to you live from the Hay Market! Oh wait, I'm a skeleton… so I can't be live… nor could I be at the Hey Market. So, I am meditating and was visualizing this cup of dark roast coffee with soymilk and raw sugar… yumm om. but you know… it sounded good… anyways! Got some details for ya and here goes:

THE ELECTIC BODY

Class was freagin awesome! Oh wait, Stephen didn't bring me.Can you imagion? An anatomy class without the skeleton? What was he thinking?But I hear it went well. There is a good quality audio recording from it. Whichshould be available soon. Anyone know how to put a powerpoint presentationtogether with an audio recording online? I'd like to get that together for asample class on the webpage.

THE RADIO!!!

Stephen is gunna be on the Radio on Friday October 5^th from3 – 4 pm. Michelle McCarthy whom you may remember from Reflexology class hostsan awesome show called "It's all about healing" each Friday. She interviews adifferent healer each week! So check out her show and totally check out herinterview with Stephen!

Real Oldies 1250 AM Friday October 5^th 3pm

If you don't get AM Radio or are out of the area, you can hear it same timesame channel at http://www.realoldies1250.com/

CLASS TIMES / DATES /ETC

So, we had to change some class dates and times in the newFALL – WINTER schedule. So make sure you check on your class dates if you wantto not show up on the wrong day, or to the wrong class. "Um,sternocleadomastoid? Is that a new knitting stitch?"

Basically, the weekend workshops have realigned themselvesin a more logical fashion. There will now be less confusion (hopefully) overwhat class is when. There WILL BE A CLASS on the second and last weekend ofeach month, holidays excluded. This will be consistent throughout the fall andspring (for the most part).

The ongoing classes (meditation, reiki, and biz) are goingto consolidate. They are now going to be in one month series format. So youwill sign up for a month of Exploring Reiki, a Month of Business of Healing, ora month of oinaeotonaEOihth, etc. These dates have not been posted as of yet soyou will have to check back with the schedule on that one.

ANATOMY STUDY GROUPS

These are going to be held outside the walls of Indigo. Wewill be going over the meat and potatoes stuff, but feel free to bring your esotericquestions as well. These study groups are open to anyone regardless ofbackground. They will require homework on your part, a text book, andcommitment. It is looking like we will cover a system a month, meeting once aweek, over tea. The text book will be The Anatomy Coloring Book and studentsneed to find there own means of acquiring this. I can't speak for Indigo but Iwould guess they would be delighted to order some books for us as long as weknow how many to order in advance. If not we can make a bulk order online.Studygroups will be held at my house (on a trial bases) and will be aconsistent weekday and time.

So… now is the time to register for the studygroups!

THAT's IT! That's all Igot, all she wrote, signing off, over and out!

Be Well,

Seemore

s'up y'all?

I'm going to go on another flyer run in the next
couple days.  If there are any new flyers for upcoming
classes, please get me the designs as soon as possible
so I can get 'em out there.  At the moment, the only
flyers I have for PINH is for the ongoing business
class.

I need to know of good flyering spots in greenfield
and amherst areas.  Northampton, florence and
easthampton I think I have covered but if people had
suggestions for those towns please send them along
anyway.  If you know of a good bulletin board spot
that I may have missed I will be sure to hit next time
around.

thanks a bunch.

pieceout,

-Daniel

Greetings! Salutations! Shalom! Peace! On behalf of divine
intervention and un-fold-ment of great things, I would like to
personally welcome you to my personal coffee buzz at the hey market!
Oh no, I mean…

I would like to call a meeting for the Pangaea Team, the first in a
very long time. Bring your ideas, this will be a simi-democratic
get-together.

My personal agenda is to talk about how We can help Pangaea. I feel my
role in Pangaea is a co-creator. That means that while this is my
`business' I feel that it is Our School. I am the teacher, you are the
students, we together co-create Our School. We mold it and shape it
how we wish. This is my lively hood, which means it must be
sustainable for Us to have the program continue, and so far, it is
sustaining itself! So, the improvements which need be made are
subtitle, and can be done with a small team effort.

Pangaea needs: flyers (designed, printed, cut, and posted!),
cyberspace liaison(s) website (spellchecked, edited, and updated) -
yahoo group monitor - news letter (written, edited, and posted) –
email checker – Pangaea voice mail responder, recordings (class
recordings need to be more consistent, transferred to mp3, and
transcribed to word .doc), and more!

As the teacher I have found many times when I get worktraders they
need more work from me to do their work. understandable. This time I
have chosen people who are of a special caliber, based mostly on
intuition… but I believe that you all have a very special gift of self
motivation. Don't escape from those words. I don't mean it like that!
I mean, that you are powerful beings who can create your reality! You
can already see improvements to be made, you have ideas, you are a
special bread and can help without needing (much) help to help! That's
why you are here, didn't you know? So… let that sink in, and when you
come to the meeting, come as a powerful individual who is willing to
co-create this next season of classes, flyers, meetings,
get-togethers, and help this Pangaea Movie continue!

The Mr. Bone's Report

News letter of the Pangaea Institute of Natural Healing

Howdy Y'all,

Seemore Bone's here, to update you on stuff goin' down at the ol' institute. If you are getting' this message in error, just click here and we'll take you off the list, dig? Cool. So on with it then!

Somatic & Energetic Medicine - Apprenticeship Program

Yep, it's up and running. Hey apprentices, did you know you get 2 free half hour sessions with the teacher? It's true! Those interested in this benefit need to prescheduled these sessions (indigo clinics aren't included).

Tea Times

In the program, it is important to get together with your teacher and give feedback on how the program is meeting your needs, and where we can improve. It's about time for people to check in so we can see where you are and where you would like to get to from here. So, it's your responsibility to check in soon.

Tuition

Some times we get behind on things, tuition being one that we often overlook. Please remember that the program is sustained by tuition payments and make them in a timely fashion. Students are responsible for tuition payments, which are due on the date you began the program. For example, if you started on the 28^th in a weekend workshop, the 28^th is when your tuition is due (or the weekend workshop near that time is fine as well). If you need to check-out, please remember that a thirty days notice is a part of the agreement. So don't just drop of the face of the earth, it could significantly impact everyone.

Inclusions

Please remember that EXPLORING REIKI, THIS BUSINESS OF HEALING, & All weekend workshops are covered by your tuition. So try to make the best of your money and our time together!

Tell your friends about the apprenticeship program

Exploring Reiki is going strong. We have had a class just about every Wednesday, which is just about amazing! So far we have explored Gassho, Reiji-ho, 5-element breath, Scanning, and the reiki principles in depth. There is much more to come! We will be building energy shields for the next few weeks… So we'll see you next Wednesday!

REIKI ONE: Traditional Japanese Reiki

Next class date: Aug 11^th & 12^th

NEW CLASS!!!

THIS BUSINESS OF HEALING

I'm really excited about this class, I hope you are too. It's going to be a fun, hands on kind of class, where we re-investigate our concept about business, healing, sustainability, etc.

I said we are gunna be manifesting abundance, burning candles, doing art projects, etc!

Tuesdays from 6-8pm    RSVP!!!

ANATOMY FOR THE HEALER is going well as well.  We have covered the musculoskeletal system and overviewed the entire body. Next class will cover the human energetic system. You don't want to miss this class!

ANATOMY LABS: Need more tactile and experiential learning? How about some anatomy labs which will be just the fun stuff like drawing muscles, bones, etc. So email if interested.

ANATOMY OVER TEA: If anyone is interested in anatomy study groups let me know your availability. Having a hard time? Need an excuse to study? To crack the notes? To get away from the house so you can study? Each week will have a different agenda, say muscles of the arm, bones of the feet, etc. These will be informal fun-shops over coffee/tea, etc. So email if you are interested. These will be free (donations always accepted).

Next class date: September 8^th & 9^th

The Electric Body

WHOLE BODY REFLEXOLOGY ONE: The group was outstanding, we covered tons of material in a very short period of time, and everyone really seemed to `get it.' For those interested Stephen is offering a reflex-refresh clinic day. This will be about 3 hours of nothing but technique and is ONLY open to people who have taken REFLEXOLOGY ONE. The workshop is free (donations always accepted). So if you are interested email stephen@... with days and times you may be available, he'll collect this info and come up with a time that matches as many people as possible. Remember, this is NOT required, and is only for those who want a little more time with the instructor on technique, sequence, depth of pressure, etc.

Next class date:

WHOLE BODY REFLEXOLOGY: Point location and technique for the hands
