The Shapeshifting Shaman: Healing in Times of Crisis

John Perkins & Lyn Roberts-Herrick
May 10-12

This planet is our true mother. From her we get air, water, earth, food, clothing, fire, and love. Throughout the world, master teachers are telling us the next ten years will determine the course of this entire century. This workshop is about opening to our powers and fulfilling our mission to serve the earth through self-awareness and self-realization. It is for people who want to shapeshift themselves, for professional healers and health workers whose job is to heal clients, and for those determined to foster social, environmental, and economic balance. To change our reality, we must begin dreaming a new dream, for the world is as we dream it.

The heart of many mystical and shamanic traditions is healing. A shaman journeys to other worlds and uses subconscious and waking reality to effect change. Learn techniques for diagnosing and healing physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual diseases. Develop your abilities to read energy fields and auras, use a variety of prognostic methods, and apply plants, huacas (sacred objects), the elements, and shapeshifting spirit medicine to the healing process. Learn about the use of candles, pendulums, eggs, herbs and flowers, animals, tsentsak (invisible darts), chanting and music, the elements, and entities from the nonphysical and star worlds.

In this experiential and intensive workshop, John and Lyn will teach approaches that combine wisdom and rituals from the Amazon, Andes, Himalayas, Asian Steppes, Siberia, Mongolia, Guatemalan Highlands, Persia, Pacific Islands, and North America. You will have the opportunity to practice techniques that have been successfully used to heal many physical, emotional, and psychological afflictions. In addition to relieving individual sufferers, healing also teaches larger lessons about balance, the need to listen to the voices of the universe, communicate with those who have left the material plane, and commit to our life missions. Delve deep to foster balance and connection that can lead to a life of ecstasy -- the true goal of all healing.
