April 14, 2024 Shield Making Retreat,
Mountain Light Retreat, Crozet, VA
The circle represents Wholeness, Unity, Eternity, and Spiritual Perfection. We experience perfect symmetry, integrity, unity, and completeness in a circle--the visual equivalent of eternity. It is universally endless.
The circle also represents the womb and nurturing the sun and moon centering, and completion. It has movement and is mobile. The circle is the perfect shape for a shield that represents one's entire being.
Spirit urges us to "Never stop learning. The hoops of life are the journey." Schedule a Shield Making Retreat to create your sacred hoop.
In guided meditation with Louise, experience your unique personal vision for spiritual healing and growth, interpret the vision, and assemble a shield that is inspired and energized with its accompanying messages and wisdom.
At your retreat, you may hear the sounds of self-discovery
that I have heard:
"Unbelievable!"
"Wow!"
"Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!"
"You are connected to the Universe and empowered to bring in the shields."
"An adult male's East Shield. He has freed himself from darkness and now soars in the light with protection from above."
"Transmute all energy that is not gentle. Hold the gentleness of deer at the center of your actions."
A woman's East Shield received with open eyes under a full moon at a mountain lake. Spirit handed down three visions: a peace pipe with a wolf (totem of teachers), an eagle, and a bear, representing her three paths to enlightenment.
A woman's shield. Sunshine above her, Earth below her feet. The light within, discovered and uncovered. The light within is rendered with pieces of mica collected on hiking trails.
I made this shield on a vacation/retreat with a girlfriend. We spent a magical day in a high mountain meadow. The sky was full of messages and visions. No one else seemed to notice them. My friend remarked, "Did you see the Tee shirt on that backpacker? It said, "When all is said and done, all there is, is one."
I hopped up and down. "That's it! That's my shield message!"
