This planet is our true mother, offering us air, water, earth, food, clothing, fire, and love. Master teachers all over the world are telling us the next few years will determine the course of this century and that we need to shapeshift our relationship to our earth. We must begin dreaming and living a new dream, for ourselves and for our planet.
The heart of many mystical and shamanic traditions is healing. A shaman journeys to other worlds and uses subconscious and innate abilities to access power, wisdom, and energy from expanded realms to effect change in this reality.
In this workshop we will:
• Develop our abilities to serve the earth through self-awareness and self-realization
• Shift attitudes and fears that perpetuate separateness from spirit and nature
• Practice perceiving and transforming physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual imbalances
• Learn to read personal and planetary energy fields
• Access entities from non-physical worlds to retrieve vital life force energies
• Learn to use plants, the elements, flowers, and huacas (sacred objects), to shapeshift spirit medicine
• Release spiritual energies held in the earth’s energy field that are ripe to move on
• Learn to use shapeshifting methods to alleviate suffering and help to heal our planet
In this experiential workshop John and Llyn will teach approaches that combine humor, masculine and feminine wisdom, and rituals from the Amazon, Himalayas, Persia, Egypt, Pacific Islands, and the Starry Brotherhoods. We will practice techniques that have been successfully used to transform personal and collective suffering. We will learn to listen to the voices of the universe and commit to our life’s purpose. We will foster the balance and connection that can lead to a life of ecstacy – the true goal of all healing - and guide us through unprecedented personal and global change.
We welcome the return of these important and delightful teachers.
