Chet Snow, PhD and Kalista Snow – Energy Healing through Crop Circle Symbols and Crystal Consciousness (three hours 9:00 – 12:00 p.m.)

In 1991 Chet Snow met with Hopi spiritual elders to learn their celebrated Hopi Prophecy. This meeting led him into a decade of research on the healing symbols of Native Peoples, comparing them with English crop circles. In this workshop he will combine simple dowsing techniques with exposure to some of the most-powerful crop circle symbols of recent years for energy healing, based on the human chakra energy system.

Our transition into the next World Age also involves the re-appearance of ancient knowledge of crystal healing techniques and crystal skulls. The human skull has long represented special spiritual power. Native shamans sculpt skulls from quartz because quartz can store, amplify and transmit pure energy, making crystal skulls powerful energy healing tools. An ancient prophecy foretells that their coming together now will help humanity make a quantum leap in consciousness. In 1999 Chet and his wife Kallista were honored to receive Gaia-Luz, a modern Citrine crystal skull, hand carved in Brazil by native artisans. Gaia-Luz will participate in Chet & Kallista Snow’s Energy Healing workshop. Bring your own crystals for “charging” with her unique energies or buy a specially-charged crystal skull at the workshop.

Chet Snow, Ph.D., is an internationally-acclaimed author, lecturer and regression therapist with degrees from Columbia University and the Sorbonne in Paris. His wife, Kallista Snow, from France, has studied yoga, reflexology, therapeutic massage and mediation. Having met initially in Paris in 1985, they were brought together as a couple in December 1991 by Mother Meera, their spiritual mentor, a master (Avatar) now living near Frankfurt. Since 1994 they have lived in Sedona, Arizona, long recognized as sacred land by Native Americans. Their Sedona house, built by members of the White [Healing] Lodge of England, was once home to the Hopi spiritual leader, White Bear.
