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. To change our reality, we must begin dreaming a new dream, for the world is as we dream it.
This workshop is about getting in touch with our abilities to serve the earth through selfawareness and selfreali-zation. It is for people who want to shapeshift theamselves, for healers and health workers, and for those determined to foster social, environmental, and economic balance.
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, learn how to use plants, flowers, huacas (sacred objects), the elements, and shapeshifting spirit medicine. Learn about the power 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 suffering, healing also teaches us 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 the balance and connection that can lead to a life of ecstasy the true goal of all healing.
