An Introduction to Seashell Divination with Michelle Hanson 
 
Author of  Ocean Oracle; What Seashells Reveal about Our 
True Nature 
 
What message do the shells have for you today? 
 
Come explore the fascinating language of seashells. 
 
 
 
From childhood, most of us are drawn to the whisperings of 
the ocean and captivated by the shapes and colors of its 
many treasures. Remember listening to seashells as a child? 
Instinct was telling you they had something to say. By 
studying with Michelle Hanson you can learn to listen 
again---- and understand. Using overhead images and actual 
shells, Michelle leads you on an ocean voyage of discovery 
as you witness mollusks, the animals who build and inhabit 
shells, in their natural habitats. You will meet vampires 
and heroes, encounter demonstrations of intelligence and 
compassion, and learn who contributes life-saving 
medicines. Your ocean journey will also show you which 
shells reflect the lessons of faith, inspiration, 
abundance, and unconditional love. While you may delight in 
the beauty of certain shells, if you listen closely, you 
can receive deeper wisdom. Over the past 20 years Michelle 
has learned to translate the language of the shells. The 
enlightenment she has gained has transformed her life and 
the lives of many others. By the end of this workshop, you 
too will be translating the language of the shells as they 
effortlessly impart their wisdom to you.  
In this workshop we will: 
 
Learn about the remarkable animals who build and inhabit 
shells and the vocabulary they have created. 
 
Experience hands-on interaction with many of the shells 
Michelle has collected from all over the world 
 
Discover how shells can support energy work with emphasis 
on the Abalone/chakra connection. 
 
Perform your own seashell readings using the Ocean Oracle 
system. 
 
Come share in a bit of the science and a lot of amazing 
revelations as you learn to listen to the language of the 
shells. It will be a deeply profound and joyful experience 
you'll not soon forget 
 
 
With a nickname of Shelley, Michelle is convinced that the 
hand of destiny pointed the way for her career choice. Her 
childhood fascination with shells grew into a lifelong 
study that did not stop after her biology degree. Convinced 
there was something more than just the science, she pursued 
a deeper understanding of the shells. What she found was 
that the shells possess their own unique language with each 
species contributing a pearl of wisdom. With seashells as 
her partners, she has spent 20 years learning to translate 
this vocabulary into a system that allows the shells to 
connect with our innermost thoughts and feelings. Through 
her seashell divination column in The Kaleidoscope Journal, 
and her book Ocean Oracle; What Seashells Reveal about Our 
True Nature, she is delighted to make the language of 
shells accessible to all. As she is fond of saying "I love 
my name because it makes me one of the shells…the Shell 
with the vocal cords. It is my pleasure to use them to 
introduce others to the rest of my seashell partners."
