WORKSHOPS WITH ANNELINDE IN 2012
This year, I will be offering monthly workshops in some very beautiful locations!
Here is some info on my June workshop, "Lady of Ten Thousand Names."

| Venus by Botticelli |
Allow your whole being to be suffused with beautiful, mysterious and unforgettable songs of praise and joy in the Divine Feminine! These luscious songs will haunt your dreams, and become an enriching and enlivening part of your life.
Annelinde Metzner has an unusual gift. She can evoke joyous musical expression from individuals or groups of people, regardless of musical experience.
Annelinde will be teaching, singing and playing songs from “Lady of Ten Thousand Names,” her brand new songbook of original praise songs of the Goddesses of Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Experience some of the songs at Annelinde's Youtube channel.
The workshop will include guided visualization, altar building, movement and breathing, plus quiet time close to Nature. The workshops are held on Saturdays, 10 AM to 4 PM, with a sliding scale fee of $40 to $60 which includes a songbook.
