"Christmas carols probably account for some of our most familiar melodies.  If folk songs are generally "songs sung by the folk", then Christmas carols are certainly folk songs.  Some tunes are so old that they are thought to pre-date Christianity.  Some stem from dark and tangled histories.  One Christmas song surely every American knows has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas and was in fact created by a Connecticut Yankee who wrote battle songs for the Confederacy during the Civil War." Bill Schustik

About Bill:

He is known nationwide as the American Troubadour. In his day, he has traveled all over the USA, gathering songs, stories and sowing legends. His magnificent baritone voice, his keen sense of drama, his vast knowledge of history, his colorful array of folk instruments, and deep abiding love for traditional lore are his trademarks.

His repertoire includes, singing the National Anthem at the 7th game of the 1979 World Series, performing before three U.S. presidents. He has appeared on and off Broadway  and has authored two full-length ballets and a show about the American Civil War, “Shiloh Hill,” produced by Ford’s Theatre. He has entertained in countless school classrooms, dramatizing  and enlivening American History for students throughout this country.

Bill continues to share his love of music and history through his recent projects, including Tom Paine, a genuine Salt Sea Pirate Cabaret, Many Thousand Gone, a continuing evolution of “Shiloh Hill”, and most recently, he is back in the realm of his tall ships, sailing, singing chanties, and spinning the lore of bombastic privateering of the American Heroic Age.

REIKI is an ancient form of hands-on healing whose roots go back to Siddharta Buddha and the India-Nepal border in 620BC. Modern day REIKI was brought to the western world by Dr. Mikado Usui, in 1922.

The word REIKI is two Japanese words, REI which means "Divine Source or Higher Power" and KI which means "Life Force Energy."

Reiki is a spiritual journey of breath, sound, meditation and intent to help overcome the pragmatic "Ego Mind's" limitations. It can be a powerful path of initiation into this ancient, broad and expansive art form for healing.

The planet needs a many Reiki Masters as possible at this time in our evolution.

TESTIMONALS

I had the wonderful opportunity to take Reiki I, II, and III classes with Rev. Zan earlier this year. They were awesome! Rev. Zan is a remarkable and inspirational teacher! Each class was filled with well-presented lessons, beautiful prayers, uplifting meditations and special Reiki sharing with classmates. Receiving each of the Reiki attunements from Rev. Zan was a very moving, sacred, ritual experience for me. I am very happy and proud to know Rev. Zan and be a part of her Reiki lineage.
In Peace, Love and Light, John Sorbo

Zan has made Reiki her life's healing work. Her passion and commitment to this eastern practice is without peer. Her Reiki Training sessions are filled with useful tools and experiential practices for the student to master. There are many Reiki Masters offering this training but from the course I took with her there are few that meet her dedication or the spiritual content that she imparts to students. Her classes last several months with each session giving the student time to practice what was taught. The final initiation is one of ritual, ceremony and a spiritual tone that imparts the wisdom and mastery of this ancient technique. Jo Mooy

Zan’s Reiki training was a wonderful experience and the attunement filled with palpable energy. Her knowledge of Reiki is extensive and her natural ability to share her healing gift is truly amazing. Ben Tucker
