Level One Series: SHAMANIC WISDOM AND BEYOND 

The Level One series is a year-long journey around the four earthly directions of The Medicine Wheel. During days and evenings spent with your small group of classmates, you are introduced to your own unique spiritual and energetic, sacred lineage and the infinite supporting cast of beings that share in and support your path and intention (as well as those that do not). You are invited to enter into, explore and maintain respectful, reciprocal, empowered relationship with each fragmented portion of your Original Being.

As the year progresses you remap your spiritual landscape. Perceived boundaries and ingrained limitations are eliminated as you become fluent in the inter-dimensional travel skills of both the traditional and contemporary shamanic practitioner. Through multiple journeys, exercises and encounters with the myriad energetic forms and flows that shape our infinite universe, you come to fully recognize and comfortably inhabit your natural state as a multi-dimensional being. You then learn how to gracefully integrate your enhanced, refined capacities and awareness into your day to day life as a being of infinite existence, dwelling in a physical body. 

 

 

Level Two Series:  THE INFINITE WITHIN

The skills, explorations and endurance gained during Level One form the launch pad and trajectory of your Level Two year. You no longer define reality and possibility through attachment to the stories of your previous experience. You live from a place of choice and deliberate design sourced from within, rather than continuing to shape your life through unconscious reactivity, compulsion, habit, assumption, or fear.  Any external identification with power is gone. Now what?

You now own your spiritual inheritance as a completely whole being. You become familiar with and fluent in your own, individual gifts of perception. Experience the roles of both practitioner and client as you familiarize yourself with the formerly invisible terrain of the energetic and subtle bodies that support life in the human form.   Month by month, expand your energetic toolkit of awareness and practices with traditional and contemporary shamanic techniques such as soul retrieval, extraction and vibrational attunement – all the while creating a few of your own. Through this exploration of the Infinite within, you become your own ceremony. You realize that you are the Keeper of your own reciprocal relationship with the Divine. When you fully step into the role as your own Master, Teacher, and Guru, you are truly Home, and now Home can be as big as you want it to be.

 


RITES & RITUALS

We will explore the definitions of rites of passage. The events and markers inside and outside of time that they commemorate. Their structure and the inner knowledge they contain.

The re-enactment of ritual taking us into the context of the sacred, becoming a mythical re-enactment of power. We’ll look at the construction and practice of ritual in order to more fully interweave the sacred into our every day lives.
