Ceremonies, wisdom with Native American spiritual emissary

In this union with timeless wisdom,
you evoke change that can have profound effects on your life.

What might happen in your life if you began really listening to the voice of your soul that is whispered on the wind, infusing your dreams, radiating from the stars, speaking from your own body's responses in your daily life?

You can be a luminous mirror to others right here and now in your everyday life as you bring actions into greater alignment with your soul's guidance in this time of rapid evolution. With each heart-centered moment of awareness, you open doors that opens more doors to a vastness you only guessed at before.

Choose to evoke change and movement, to create a new mythology, as you free limiting patterns with loving kindness to yourself and expand your sense of your soul's evolution. Practice deep communion with the energies of nature and develop skills with direct insight through guided shamanic experiences. Rebalance with Medicine Wheel Ceremony, sound vibration and shamanic healing. We develop lucid dream skills as a source of soul knowledge and energetic rebalancing. Universal earth medicine, east-west emotional healing ways, tracking-reclaiming energies, releasing that which no longer serves, and meditation are also tools we use.

These group retreats offer an intense setting for personal shifts. Available energies are magnified within the shared focus. We encourage you to develop awareness practices to carry back into the rest of your life. Resource booklet, reading list included.

Sandra and retreat group at Cathedral Rock vortex site           Shapeshift into a larger expression of who you really are       Come into greater alignment with our evolving solar system

"Creator gifted me with the ability to hold space for people, to see and reflect back their soul's gifts in an honoring, supportive way. I resonate with the energies of this land and the Holy Ones who are her spiritual overseers. We create a powerful, yet safe and sacred space for you to connect with these energies, with your own Light. But your own willingness to be in loving communion with all that you are without judgment gives wings to your journey! Each of us has the innate ability to obtain guidance direct from Source for our own healing and vision.  Sometimes we just need someone to reflect back our light, to give us new tools, to nudge us, give us a new insight when we are up against a stuck place, to encourage and support and support us to go through the doorway of our deepest fears.  I have created an integrated program that helps you open the pathways to your own soul's knowing based on years of experience with shamanism and east-west practices for meditation, emotional release, tracking where you are leaking your energy, becoming more alive and Present right here and now.  We also work with the power of  prayer, intention and ceremony to create positive change." Sandra Cosentino Core elements of the Retreat: --Vortex Tour and Mystical Nature Shamanic Journye and Earth and Sky Speaks to Us seminar out on the land Explore Sedona's special sites and learn access points for your free time nature communion practice. Let nature speak to you as we pay attention to signs, symbols and helper spirits. We practice deep listening both in the tangible world and as you journey inward to the drum beat as shamans do. Learn how to do soul flight/shamanic journey, connect with medicine helpers that are the living soul of nature for healing, guidance, new vision. See Sedona tour and earth-spirit connections page for more info --- Primordial Sound Journey with symphonic gong, drums and other instruments--a powerful experience of sound vibration as you journey through primal worlds of creation with focused intention --Soul Journey Session 1: Inner Pathways, Conscious Evolution Principles of Presence and dream awareness; practice with meditation, tracking your energies, allowing your own body wisdom to release embedded heavy emotions, chakra clearing and raising your cellular vibration (capacity to hold light) supported by Spirit Helpers, intuitive insights and ancient sound healing instruments that have an alchemical effect on our body. People have had profound realizations and emotional releases during these sessions that have allowed more of their soul's radiance to shine. --Soul Journey Session 2: Past and Future, Re-dreaming Ceremony, More lucid dream work Re-dreaming ceremony to draw and recast energies from potent events of your life into supporting your new vision. Journey to connect with past and future selves/energies that are meaningful to you here and now. Reclaim visionary childhood connections. Deepen skill level with aware dreaming, shifting embedded patterns, revisioning your destiny as you connect with your greater potential self. optional 3 - 4 hour session (depends on how many people) (not included but highly recommended) for those who want to do deeper soul work: Soul Retrieval and Extraction experiental seminar; you become your own shaman in a safe and nurturing space in a 4 step process that is a profound act of self-compassion: Extraction Release is an essential element to create space for a bigger energy to come in to you--soul retrieval is a whole lot more effective when preceded by clearing work. In tribal medicine ways, clearing of negative intrusion is the first aspect of consideration. We work in the upper world, the celestial realms, with assistance of spirit helpers and the quantum greater soul self to negotiate, shift and come to a new agreement within ourself. It is not an attack or battle with negativity. Rather, we acknowledge, thank, instruct, free these energies that got stunted and stuck with the help of expanded soul support. We break free of limited thinking/behaviors and shift into new vibrational frequency more in alignment with our greater potenialized self that is really guiding our life. Soul Retrieval and connecting with our greater potential self In the process of life, we all lose vital parts of our energy through traumas, social conditioning and more. I guide you, hold space for you, to reclaim a part of your expression and spirit and then to integrate it into your life, and provide intuitive feedback. This is a profound act of coming home to self--a deeply self-nurturing and freeing experience. I can journey into the spirit world and find fragmented parts of your soul and negotiate with them to come back to you--but it is far more empowering and effective for you to do this for yourself. Yes, this takes courage as it opens up blocked emotion--but the gift you give yourself in this process is that you become able to express more of your creativity, feelings and power. . --Seeing-Being More. Being our own prophet, creating our own new story, Inner Journeys to the Temple of Remembering and into the future, past-life and metaphysical understandings.

words of past participants:

"I am back at work with new energy. Being in Sedona helped me to connect to the earth and to who I am, even more . I have been doing more of connecting to people and talking to my patients then ever before. Thank you for your presence, for the shamanic journeys, and showing us around. I loved the new year's ceremony."
Dr. Iwona Szpiech, M.S., D.C., San Diego, CA, 2005

I "I enjoyed meeting all of you and know that the work I did there will benefit me for the rest of my life. People have remarked that my energy has changed and that I am more open around my chest. " Phil G, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 2005.

"It is very hard to tell you what influence you have had on me. There was been a real sense of healing from you and Sedona.  You are truly a healer, and since this path is new to me, I can only trust feelings, not having too much experience. You have a real gift, and your presence has been felt very deeply." Dot R., California

"When I returned home I thought all would go back to the way it was but it did not. Something had changed especially in regard to me moving through my fears. The experience I had with you was very challenging, you pushed me though boundaries and supported me but not in the way I was accustomed to.
The experience of Sedona was very powerful and I want to thank you for being a very powerful facilitator." Linda, Melbourne, Austrailia

"My life has been altered with the tools you've shared.  Thank you for sharing your spirit and love--it has made all the difference." Sandy, Calgary, Canada

Pertinent Wisdom: “Each of us is put here in this time and this place to personally decide the future of humankind. Did you think the Creator would create unnecessary people in a time of such terrible danger? My Grandmother once told me to understand that every person can have a good heart, a heart big enough to change the world! She said the Great spirit wouldn’t give us something we couldn’t handle! Know that you yourself are essential to this World. Believe that! Understand both the blessing and the burden of that. You yourself are desperately needed to save the soul of this world. Did you think you were put here for something less?“ from White Buffalo Teachings by Chief Arvol Looking Horse.   "Being-energy is soft and yielding and yet infinitely more powerful than mind. The mind runs our civilization, whereas Being is in charge of all life on our planet and beyond."   "A group of people coming together in a state of presence generates a collective energy field of great intensity. It not only raises the degree of presence of each member of the group but also helps to free the collective human consciousness from its current state of mind dominance." Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now The magnetism of the earth in places like Sedona becomes embedded in your DNA...the sun, the earth and the power of hearts joined within the circle increases the ability of your DNA to hold more spin, this implosion allows your heart waves to multiply, move outward and has the power to create stars...this is the evolution of consciousness. concepts from Grail Science of the Loving Heart, Sacred Geometry by physicist Dan Winter Healing Dreams are soul force, truth medicine. Such dreams disturb us because of their utter refusal to pander to our fondest notions of ourselves. They often require us to live our questions rather than furnish instant answers. But even a purely exhilerating dream stirs a different sort of unease--That we may harbor an unrealized greatness, a potential that, if we dared fulfill it, would bring an end to ordinary life. In the end, the task of an examined life--the task Healing Dreams set vividly before us--is ours alone to reject or embrace; which way we choose makes all the difference in the world." from Healing Dreams by Marc Ian Barasch
