Jay Thomas is a health coach, workshop leader, and eclectic shamanic practitioner. He uses ancient and modern techniques for problem-solving, self-discovery, personal growth, and healing. Jay facilitates workshops and retreats throughout New England, including Easton Mountain, Boston Living Soulfully and Camp Destiny for the Radical Faeries. At Easton Mountain, Jay leads An Introduction to Shamanism retreat each spring and the Annual GBTQ Men’s Shamanic Retreateach fall.
Gather in the woods around a sacred circle to connect with Spirit, our community and the land. We’ll bond through the elements—Fire, Water, Earth, and Air—as guideposts to how we inspire hope and shine light on our life journeys. Through drumming, ritual, and story, we’ll honor and explore how we nurture ourselves and each other. We’ll craft intentions and release what no longer serves us while invoking energies to help create the lives we desire.
1969 was the year of Stonewall. It was a year of revelation, revolution and hope. It was also a year of great dance music. Scour your local thrift shop for outfits. Think Madmen and Hippies, Rayon and big prints. Psychedelic patterns and bell bottoms. Soupy Sales and Joanne Worley. 

Ferry Beach Retreat and Conference Center is about 30 minutes from both Portland and Ogunquit, and 2 hours from Boston. Overnight accommodations and additional meals may be available after July 1.
