The Shapeshifting Buddha

John Perkins & Llyn Roberts

Mar 5-7, 2010

Prophecies from original peoples all over the planet tell us that now is the time for humanity to embrace its higher potential. Medicine Women and Men from diverse cultures have known for over 500 years that the time would come for them to share long-held secret teachings, prophecies, and sacred ceremonies with the rest of humanity. Many such elders from around the world, including Tibetan masters, have taught John Perkins and Llyn Roberts ancient methods to shift into compassionate and more whole ways of being.

Within ancient Tibet ‘extraordinary’ capacities such as bilocation, telepathy, and healing were accepted conditions of human nature awakened by conscious focus. Tibetan Buddhism is lauded for its teachings of compassion, healing, and wakefulness. Deities and practices from this tradition support tremendous energy, enhancing our ability to create positive change in ourselves and others. These wakeful energies are accessible to all of us and they awaken our higher consciousness. Opening in this way heals us, helps us heal others, and encourages new possibilities for Shapeshifting as individuals within our global community.

During this highly experiential weekend and with the aid of the five elements we will invoke and work with Tibetan Deities for healing, compassion, and shifting consciousness; explore how to shamanically shapeshift into our Buddha Nature; apply ancient Tibetan energetic methods to heal ourselves, others, and to transmit compassion; work with the Five Buddha Families and Dralas (the wakeful energies found in nature); and perform an ancient Prayer Tie ceremony to cleanse, empower, and transform.

John Perkins has devoted four decades to learning, practicing, and teaching about healing and transformation. His own teachers include indigenous elders and shamans who have given him the mission of transforming industrial cultures — no small task. He has advised Fortune 500 companies, the United Nations, and many other international organizations and has taught at universities and learning centers on four continents. He inspired and founded the Pachamama Alliance and Dream Change and has led expeditions to Nepal and Tibet, holding personal audience with the Dalai Lama. His highly acclaimed books include Shapeshifting, The World Is As You Dream It, Confessions of an Economic Hitman, and The Secret History of the American Empire.
