Event Description:
Shamanic Mediation is an ancient practice that we
can utilize to create positive change in our lives
and
relaxation provides our body the opportunity to
revitalize itself. I have combined these to provide
you the opportunity to travel deep into your body
and expand and melt with the oneness of the
universe. In doing so, you are able to participate in
the evolution of consciousness towards peace, love
and light.
In these sessions I utilize ancient Native American
and modern energy building traditions to allow
you
to move into this new awareness. Imagine, you are
lying down on your back; your neck and head are
supported by your favorite pillow. The session
begins with the soothing sounds of the Ugandan
harp; in a couple minutes the Shamanic drumming
begins. You hear a Native American ceremonial
drum blended with the soft drones of the
didgeridoos, flutes, ceremonial shakers and bells.
As the drumming begins you are guided through a
complete 20-minute relaxation of every part of
your body. You are then ready for the meditation.
The music continues for 25 minutes and then
blends back into the soothing sounds of the
Ugandan harp. You will walk away feeling aware,
awake and inspired! All music is played by
professional musicians on authentic indigenous
instruments made from natural materials.

Event Description:
Special Collections at the University Libraries
announces its newest
exhibit, Writings Out of Time: The University of
Arizona’s Cuneiform
Collection. Curated by Beth Alpert Nakhai,
professor of Judaic Studies
at the Arizona Center for Judaic Studies, Writings
Out of Time
showcases the Arizona State Museum’s
extraordinary holdings in
Near Eastern antiquities. The exhibit and a fall
lecture series will
illuminate some of the world’s first methods of
writing. The
cuneiform tablets on display – primarily records of
business
transactions – are from half a dozen sites in
southern Iraq. The
tablets date from 2100-1800 BCE and are
unquestionably the oldest
archive of literary materials in the State of Arizona.
Other objects in Writings Out of Time include
engraved cylinder and
stamp seals from Iraq and Egypt, a piece of
papyrus with demotic
writing, and Imperial Roman-era Egyptian lamps
signed by their
makers. One piece, a unique stone slab with a
bas-relief carving,
comes from the palace of the great Assyrian king
Ashurbanipal
(668-627 BCE) in Nineveh, northern Iraq.
All these artifacts and more were purchased by –
or donated to – the
Arizona State Museum in the first half of the 20th
century, by
luminaries including the renowned collector and
adventurer J. Edgar
Banks, The University of Arizona founder Selim M.
Franklin, and
Arizona State Museum and Department of
Anthropology founder,
Byron Cummings. A special series of lectures
focused on the theme
“The Roots of Literacy in the Ancient Near East” will
be held
throughout the fall. Lecturers will include faculty
from The University
of Arizona and scholars from around the country.
