Find Your Voice! Inspirational Speaker, Presenter, & Story Teller with Barbara Gregson July 30 and August 6th, 2026 at 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
|
Participants will learn voice and body work techniques used by Orators, Bards, Actors, and Mimes of the past.
These techniques are critical to building your imagination, inspiration, and confidence when speaking in front of a live audience. You will also have time and guidance to write and perform an inspired reading, a true story, or funny story, rap, or poem, that you will develop and practice during the workshops and use in a final presentation at the August 8th SoulShine Summer Fest, at SUNY College Camp. Bring a piece that you choose, or have of your own in development! If you register, you may chat with Barbara about the ideas you are developing for a piece to present. Click button below for details!
Every workshop will begin with Body and Voice warm -ups and playing Voice and Movement Theater Games.
These exercises will stimulate your imagination, open up your creativity, and help to give you a more expressive body and voice. They are great to use in the future to help you become more relaxed, confident, and inspired before any presentations you may give in the future.

Living through Grief Circle- with Ron Zisa Weekly on Tuesdays, 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
|
Living Through Grief Circle:
Facilitated by Ron Zisa, this is an opportunity for participants to witness and share loss. We gather, we listen, we witness, we unburden our grief, we heal, and we live through grief. The circle is open to all, and meets every Tuesday at 1pm. Come to share or just to sit and listen. We find that grief comes from losses of many types.

Oracle Circle with Story Lucile Ducey July 8th, July 15th, July 22nd, July 29th, Aug 5th and Aug 12th. 1pm-3pm from 1pm-3pm. Please Join us.
|
This Wednesday Group is called an Oracle Group because we will be focusing first, on deep meditation for healing and renewal for ourselves as we attempt to reenter the world together.
Then, we will be seeking guidance, teachings and home work from Spirit together for all of us and our families as we move through this transition. This is experimental work with Spirit. We allow Spirit to direct us and present the teachings they want us to focus on.
We will record the messaging and seek the overall message as confirmed by the majority of the messaging.
The overall goal is to dissolve challenging personal and communal karma while we seek strength and guidance in creating a new chapter for ourselves as individuals and for our world.

Free Mediumship Practice Circle for All Levels Summer Sundays - in person only- 12:00 noon July 19, July 26, August 2, August 9
|
On July 26th, special guest Mediums, Judy Lynn and Essie Linke will be leading and give readings for members of our audience!! Scroll up for details. We are told our spirit loved ones are not so very far away, and yet why is it sometimes so hard to get a clear connection and convincing signs from the other side? How can I be open if Mom is trying to get through to me? How can I close if now is not the time, or there is an unwanted presence? In this practice circle, we will continue to develop our natural abilities to connect with departed loved ones, teachers and guides with ISD Psychic Mediums Story Lucile Ducey and Diana Friedell, and guest mediums. This practice circle is open to everyone at all levels of intuitive awareness- beginners to advanced. Come and be a "sitter" for mediums to practice with & receive messages, or come to practice and further develop your own abilities. The more we practice, the more accuracy & confidence we get in delivering meaningful messages to others. This Circle is free Love Donations to ISD appreciated
