Everyone has an innate connection to The Source of All Things We don’t need to learn this, we are born with it, and every life depends on it. The Source energy is innate, natural, authentic, and wild. It doesn’t come from anywhere. It is. Our job it is to stay connected to Source, to let it guide us to our true purpose in our lives.
We are each unique in this whole universe. We never existed before and we will never exist again. Well being springs from doing what we’re here to do, which satisfies our souls in a way nothing else can. If we don’t fully and passionately express this unique genius with our lives, it will be lost forever.
In the course of our lives, we often become disconnected from our passion, from our purpose, and ultimately from Source. To replenish the well, to reconnect with Source, to restore our essential sense of self, we must learn to be in a place of uncertainty and unknown. We must move into a place where we don’t know what we’re doing. As we step into the darkness, we touch the root of life, of hope, and of our dreams.
In this weekend we will work with the tools of shamanism to clear our connection to Source, We will learn to draw that Source energy in to replenish our passion, Shamanism offers us the tools but we must be willing to use them to cultivate a deep relationship with Source and a working relationship with spirit.
To bring us out of our heads and into the wisdom of the body, we will work with these ancient practices of qi gong, which are accessible to any age or stage of well-being. We will energetically explore our current relationship with the Source,
When we are strong of spirit, our hearts open. We are curious. Healing into our True Self becomes contagious. We redirect our lives toward expressing our unique spirit and the love that connects us.
