ENCAUSTICS, MONO-PRINTS + SACRED SYMBOLS:
I will have new encaustic works, poetry and two slide presentations running; The Shaman’s Drum and Sacred Bundles . You can view my collection of shamanic tools, ceremonial pieces from around the world and my Sacred Symbols, (from the Sangoma tradition of Southern Africa), which I use in my Intuitive Readings and Shamanic Energy Sessions.
My readings have evolved from training with colleague and mentor, Gogo Gretchen Krilly McKay. Her initiation as a sangoma came through many years of mentorship with TD P.H. Mtshali and the Sangoma tradition of Southern Africa. You can learn more about this ancestral healing work at http://www.ancestralwisdom.com/about.html.
The shamanic world view reminds us that everything is alive, consciously connected and inter-dependent. You can call 312.437.4325 or email: desiree@desireedemars.com for more information on the grand opening or my new studio.
