PROGRAMS

SHAMANISM: SHAMANIC PRACTITIONER TRAINING
Consisting of consecutive weekly training sessions, Shamanic Practitioner Training helps students learn everything from the theory to the practice of Shamanism. The in-depth training will bring about higher states of consciousness and a greater understanding of reality that will translate into an enhanced ability for students to heal.

The program is multidimensional. Shamanic Journeying in trance states is for transformational and visionary purposes. Soul Retrieval is a thorough study of forces that focus on our psychological state, different manifestations of energy, spiritual needs, and health. The Shamanic Practitioner Training program examines energy, which we call life-force, how various aspects of the mind relate to one another, and what can be done to restore proper balance to facilitate soul healing. Training sessions address "seeing" intrusive and harmful forces that cause diseases, and ways to remove these energies. During residential periods, Shamanic postures for healing is studied. This study teaches students how to practically apply their previously learned skills and knowledge in their own lives.

Further learning of Shamanism addresses the topics of the Power of Sound, Pre-Birth Journeys, Plant Spirit Medicines, and Shamanic Divination.

TRANCE DANCE
A fun, exciting, and mind-altering dance that is as old as humanity itself. Merge with the beat of the drum, become one with the universal spirit of joy, forget suffering, and feel the vibrations through your mind and body. Experience healing within, and become aware of you soul's divine purpose.

VISION QUEST
In Vision Quest we learn that even this life, which one thinks of as real, is actually a dream of its own. As in any dream, the only laws that one has are the ones created for us. We can choose to either live the life of poverty, despair, and attachment, or one of abundance, wealth, happiness, and fulfillment.

The Vision Quest program consists of three stages, which are used to bring about the realization of this truth:

Stage 1:  Severance
Separating ourselves from our normal lives, leaving everything behind, forgetting our ways,our habits, and our responsibilities.

Stage 2:  Transition
Fasting, and spending time alone in nature. Facing boredom, restless wandering minds, and listening to our deep qualities, feelings, and intuitions. Becoming one with the infinite spirit reflected in our souls.

Stage 3: Re-incorporation
Sharing our experiences around a campfire and coming back to the world with new insights and knowledge.

AMAZON & ANDEAN RETREAT
These are very special Yoga and Ayahuasca retreats lead by skilled guides in the Amazonian Rainforest. The Amazon and Andeam Retreat include a fun combination of the Yogic tradition of India and the Shamanic tradition of Plant Spirits. In this very effective combination, participants receive the benefits of both worlds. Yoga and meditation accompanied by repeated Ayahuasca ceremonies, result in very effective cleansing and purifying techniques for the mind, body, and soul.

This is a great opportunity to have individual sessions with Amazonian Shamans and therapists. While on the retreat, one can opt to go on a special Medicinal Plant Diet, which is excellent for treating a wide variety of physical illnesses, as well as psycho-spiritual ailments.

In addition, there is an opportunity to make art while being led by expert textile makers and visionaries!
