The USE of crystals are provided in the workshop fee for learning, for experiential activities, and for facilitating sessions. Crystals used for essence making are included with the workshop fee, as a well as a few small crystals that I gift participants to get them started on their crystal journey!

At the moment, no, since several crystal types can be used for each gridding and chakra point. Each person will be intuitively drawn to using different crystals for these points; therefore, it is best for people to assemble their own kits based on their financial resources and personal preferences.

It's not necessary. For all three workshops I provide all the crystals you need for learning, experiential activities, and for facilitating sessions. For CLH II & III, you can bring along a favourite pendulum or laser wand if you have one, but I supply them if you don’t.

You only need a small selection to get started and then can expand on this over time. Besides working with physical crystals, you also learn how to work with crystals etherically in the workshops.

CLH is an intuitive process rather than a prescriptive process, so the number and types of crystals that are used during a session is completely up to the Practitioner based on their own resources and intuition. INTENT is the key … not the number of crystals on your body!

Yes and no :-) It is my desire to work cooperatively with crystal dealers who are passionate about connecting people with their crystal allies, as I am more interested in teaching about crystals than selling them. If a crystal dealer hosts a workshop, then I will not personally sell them. If I host a workshop, I will likely sell a few types of crystals that are harder-to-find or are integral to CLH as a convenience to workshop participants. Otherwise, I recommend that you support your local crystal dealers or reputable online sellers for most of your crystal needs.

The CLH I workshop offers a strong experiential component that helps to deepen your understanding and personal connection with crystals and crystalline energies.

CLH I also helps to integrate book knowledge with personal experience. For example, no matter how many pictures of “Record Keepers” I'd seen in books, it did not come close to the excitement I felt when I saw my first Record Keeper in real life :) I have samples of nearly all the metaphysical formations and major healing crystals that we cover in the workshop in order for you to get a real life, hands-on introduction to these amazing crystals. No matter how great the photos are in books, they just can’t replace the real thing!

Also, Simone shares some fascinating information that I have never run across anywhere else. And, at times, she contradicts what’s out there in mainstream rather than just reguritating it, so it gives one additional perspectives to explore as you discover your own truths.

I don’t use any books in the workshops other than the CLH manuals. However, in CLH I, I will bring a variety of books on crystals for participants to browse through during the breaks and will quickly review in class which ones I like and why.

If you absolutely must read something about crystal healing before moving forward on this journey, then I would suggest the trilogy by Katrina Raphaell: Crystal Enlightenment (Vol 1), Crystal Healing (Vol 2), and Crystalline Transmission (Vol 3).

I am considering offering a CLH Intensive in the summer of 2011 in Saskatchewan, Canada to accommodate those who live out of province or country. The 7-day Intensive would offer all three CLH workshops back to back, with an extra day at the end to tie everything together and to offer tips and resources exclusive to registered CLH Practitioners.

If this is something you may be interested in attending (even those who live nearby), please let me know. If there is enough interest, I will proceed with planning this training event and keep you updated with details as they become available.

The number of participants is largely dependent upon the size of the workshop facility, as massage table work is required for CLH II & III and adequate space is needed. More participants can attend CLH I as massage tables are not required.

I have assembled enough crystals and supplies to accommodate 12 workshop participants for CLH II & III, but exactly who’s meant to be there will be there :)
