Victoria Marina | bio

She has been a student of the Michael teachings since 1980, when she first met the channel known as "Jessica" in the books by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro. In 1996 she co-founded The Gateway Associates with Sarah Chambers, the original Michael medium, and Paul Avellar. Since then she has presented at the three Association for Michael conferences, and taught yearly Michael workshops and classes in Half Moon Bay. In March of 2002, The Gateway Associates hosted the first West Coast Michael Retreat with rave reviews followed by a second retreat in Nov. 2003. Having worked with the original Michael mediums, she is well versed in the fundamental Universal truth, "All is chosen" which the Michael entity offers us as a reminder for our daily lives. She is known for her compassionate nature and ability to communicate the Michael information clearly and without interference, offering information on life task, past lives, agreements, karma, pesky stumbling blocks that keep up trapped in false personality, and individual essence goals.
Victoria is also the director of Flight of the Hawk Center for Contemporary Shamanism in Half Moon Bay California where she has been teaching cross cultural shamanism since 1987. She has facilitated vision quests, long term intensive programs, monthly drumming circles, and has a private practice in shamanic counseling and soul retrieval.

She is a professional violinist having played in the San Francisco Bay Area for many years. She has also been featured in national magazines, television and radio for her groundbreaking work with women and was the founding president of the Women's Exchange, a non-profit women's networking organization.
At the current time Victoria is a full time channel and spiritual consultant living on the northern California coast 20 miles south of San Francisco. She is the mother of one son, Brendan, and the loving guardian of two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Rosie and Jazz, and Luna the cat.

2004 CLASSES:
Michael Speaks: An introduction to the Michael Teachings
(Keynote Address)
The Michael Entity offers a wise, compassionate, and pragmatic view of the world with amazing insight into the human experience. Their perspective is also refreshingly neutral which lends a broader viewpoint, helping us to see the bigger picture and reconnect with the essence of who we are on a soul level. We are reminded that we have the ability to choose in every moment and to take full responsibility in our lives and our experiences which is ultimately liberating.
The Michael entity was first channeled in 1973 in the San Francisco Bay Area by a small group of friends as they sat playing with the Ouija board. They soon learned that the messages they were receiving were from a group of 1050 souls who had completed their physical plane incarnations and now "resided" on the Causal plane. Michael, named for the last fragment (or soul) of this entity to cycle off the earth, began the teachings with a basic personality system called the Overleaves: Soul Age, Mode, Goal, Attitude, Centering, Body Type, and Chief Features or Obstacles. This system explained very well the differences between people's basic perceptions of the world, and also introduced the seven Roles in Essence: Slave, Artisan, Warrior, Scholar, Sage, Priest, and King.
During the past 25 years, the teachings have grown. The Ouija board was replaced by the human voice, and the Internet has begun to allow us to reach a far wider range of students worldwide. The Core Teachings have expanded to include the Seven Pillars, information about past lives and current agreements, kingdoms and working groups, support circles and working configurations, aspects of the roles in essence, the nine human needs, casting and overall structure, and the internal and external monads. Michael has continued to speak to us about the very real concerns of living life on the physical plane and at the same time reminds us gently that "All is chosen.".
Join Victoria Marina as she presents an introduction to The Michael Teachings as our opening keynote address.
Michael Workshop: The Seven Pillars of Vitality; True rest, play, study, work, home, health, and spirit
The seven pillars of vitality are chosen by each person based on positive past life experiences, and it is through these pillars that we can identify specific ways to rejuvenate, ground, inspire, and focus our energies, enabling us to do our life work in a more positive and beneficial manner. This workshop will include basic information about how to identify the pillars in your life, meditations to explore the past lives during which you enjoyed the current "trues", and will give each participant practical information which they can take home to include in their lives. Please be prepared to enjoy meditations which might include either sitting or lying, and a small cloth to cover your eyes. There will be a 15 minute break midway.
