For
Development of
ATTENTION, INTENTION, INTUITION, COURAGE AND PRESENCE
The
Turning of the Ages is now--
we are each being called
to be more than we know we are;
to become our own shaman-healer.
Come
home to yourself, your soul's fire
in
Powerful Landscape
Temples of Vibrant Rock and Sun
(Mini-retreat
options available including
New Year's Eve and Medicine Wheel ceremonies only,
please scroll down)
In
this union with timeless wisdom,
you evoke change that can have profound effects
on your life.
So
what might happen in your life if you began
really listening to the voice of your soul
that is whispered on the wind, radiating
from the stars, reflected to you in inner
responses to people in your life, expressed
in body language such as gut tightening or
heart opening, or in the dream of the eagle
pecking on your head calling you to go fly
and get the bigger picture of who you really
are and of your vast potent-reality?
Choose
to evoke change and movement, to create a
new mythology, as you free limiting patterns
and emotional-energetic stuck places with
loving kindness to yourself. Reclaim fragmented
parts of your soul, practice deep communion
with shape shifting and vision quest practice.
Rebalance with Medicine Wheel Ceremony and
shamanic healing. As we work through our
resistances, a new alchemy emerges. More
vital essence, courage and vision is expressed
in you.
You
experience connection to your heart, to each
other. You see reflected back to you, your own
beauty. You gain real compassion for yourself
as we gently share our pain and joys. We directly
learn of the cycle of life, death and renewal.
In the releasing, more of our soul essence comes
to live in our body. You
can be a luminous mirror to others right here
and now in your everyday life. And in every
moment act in integrity with the best that
you are at this moment and with great loving
kindness know that you can make even better
choices next time. With each heart-centered
moment of awareness, you open doors that opens
more doors to a vastness you only guessed at
before.
We
develop lucid dream skills as a source
of soul knowledge and energetic rebalancing. Universal
earth medicine, east-west emotional healing
ways, dream awareness, tracking-reclaiming
energies, releasing that which no longer
serves, meditation are also tools we use.
These
group retreats offer an intense setting for
personal shifts. Available energies are magnified
within the shared focus. You have opportunities
for learning from each other's experiences,
for integrating the experiences with your
dreams, meditation insights and feelings
that come up over the course of the 4 days. We
encourage you to develop awareness practices
to carry back into the rest of your life. Resource
booklet, reading list included.
"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
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.
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, stalking where
you are leaking out 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."

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
“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.
