Each of us has shamanic visionary powers. Glimpses of these abilities can arise at any age in the form of intuitive dreams, déjà vu, spontaneous visions, and out-of-body experiences. Most people dismiss these experiences. However, by embracing these gifts, we can unlock our shamanic potential to change the world around us and ourselves. Discover how shamans the world over shift their consciousness and enter into the unseen realm of dreams and visions that hold the key to balance, health, and thriving in today's world. SOUL MENDING: How to Heal Spiritual Traumas with Soul Retrieval
Traditional shamans view “soul loss”—the wounding of a person’s spirit as a result of trauma, especially when it’s suffered at an early age—as a leading cause of physical, emotional and psychological dysfunctions. Usually unconscious, the impulse—to deaden one’s feelings to avoid the unbearable pain of trauma and still be able to carry on—is a wise survival strategy of the psyche, but it takes its toll. The shamanic approach to healing this condition is to journey into the inner spirit world, locate the “lost” part of the soul, and retrieve and reintegrate it into the psyche to return to wholeness. In this class we’ll learn shamanic techniques to: * Travel to the spirit world and access the wisdom of inner guides * Diagnose soul loss symptoms * Develop the ability to “see” the source of our own and other people’s traumas * And perform soul retrieval Student Testimonial :“The whole experience has been wonderful. The subject and nature of the class can be a bit difficult to face head-on. . . but at the end of the day, everyone is on the same boat. A group of strangers coming together once a week to be vulnerable together. It’s inspiring!” – Alexandra Diaz The Night Watchman: Amazonian Guayusa Dream Tea Ceremony
This is a powerful experiential intensive shamanic evening into the dimensions of dreamtime, and altered states. It is a vision quest that challenges your inner warrior, your sense of space, time and direction, as you step in into the mystery of dreamtime. In a special traditional ceremony we honor the Guayusa tree spirit with chants, songs and music. As we sip the sacred tea, we go into a deep meditative silence in darkness to encounter and communicate with our spirit guides and other spirits to enable us to bring new visions and awareness into our lives. The Amazonian Kichwa of Ecuador believes that the Guayusa plant taught human beings how to dream. It is also called “The Night Watchman” as it sharpens the hunter’s instincts keep focused energy and has night vision and awareness. Kichwa families drink gourds of Guayusa around the communal fire from dawn till sunrise as a way to create a tribal bond and rejuvenate their spirit and bodies. During this time, they share their night’s dreams as the shaman interprets them so they can plan the day’s course of action. This is also the time when the elders teach the youth about ancestral myths, hunting practices and social ethics. Guayusa, similarly to yerba maté, is a medicinal plant that contains caffeine without the rugged edges and it’s filled with healthy antioxidants. It also has theobromine, found in chocolate, and L-theanine, found in green tea. You will feel fully alive. It is not hallucinating; it simply activates the brain, not allowing it to go deep into theta/delta states (below the level of the conscious mind), which allows you to “see” your vision. * * * "We have had the pleasure to meet Itzhak and attend one of his Guayusa ceremonies in London earlier this year. We highly recommend attending if you can! Itzhak, thank you again for a very special evening and it was an honour to meet you 🙏 James" HOW VISION HEALS: Shamanic Practices for Mind and Body

SHAMANIC DIVINATION AND DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES: Developing psychic and healing intuitional powers
Every healing system needs methods to diagnose illness or imbalance. The most ancient of all healing traditions is shamanism. Shamans and healers the world over has for millennia trained to be able to ‘see’ into their patients’ physical, emotional and energy bodies, to observe them and then decide the best way to bring about healing. They do this by journeying in “non-ordinary reality” to obtain information about the causes and cures of their clients’ conditions from the spirit world.

This will include learning how to: access and develop connections with a range of spirit helpers, such as power animals, inner teachers and guides, etc.; scan and perceive the “three bodies”; develop intuitive hands; “read” the flames of candles; use stones for divination, and more.

Nina in Quechua, the Inca language, is the Sacred Fire that resides in the lower part of our body. It is the furnace that burns inside ourselves, and is associated with creativity, vitality, life giving energy, internal power, passion, and sexual energy. There is no word for sex, in Quechua. Two people who engage in the act of sharing the Nina are merging the two most powerful life forces of the universal energy, those of Tata Inti (Father Sun), and that of Pachamama (Mother Earth) magma core, in a dance of creation.

There are so many things we never dared saying to our mothers from our heart. So many things we withheld from them.

Amongst all indigenous cultures, the Tree is held to be a symbol of life, wisdom and the entire cosmos, as well as a sacred object of rituals, prayers and ceremonies. The Jewish tradition, too, reveres the trees, protecting them in time of war (Deut. 20:19) and comparing those protected by God to trees, as it is written, "He will be like a tree planted near water..." (Jeremiah 17:8). The Torah itself is often called the Tree of Life. Is there a deep meaning to this coincidence? Can we learn something from this metaphor that is relevant to our daily lives? Join Itzhak Beery in an experiential workshop to discover the relationship between trees and our bodies, spirit and souls. Using shamanic techniques aided by rapid drumbeats, chants and body movement, you'll become aware of the type of tree you are. Are you a lone, fruit bearer, or a shade and shelter-giving tree?

In this one day workshop we will learn tools from both disciplines to get to know the gatekeeper and foster a new relationship with it to bring in new energy and understanding, improve creativity, and achieve our life purpose. In this workshop you will learn how to: * Connect with the Gate Keeper * Understand how it came to be * Appreciate how s/he has served you * Replace the beliefs and decisions that the Gatekeepers perpetuated with more affirmative ones. BLENDING PSYCHOLOGY AND SHAMANISM FOR PERSONAL GROWTH: A Profound Model for Healing. - With Monique Lang
Unleash your inner wisdom and potential in a program that brings together two powerful disciplines: Internal Family Systems therapy and ancient shamanic tradition. Dive into the conscious and unconscious motivations that inform your views, thoughts, and behaviors.
Old beliefs and decisions, often dating back to childhood trauma or imprinted cultural frameworks, can prevent you from having the relationships, job, or life you want. This highly experiential program provides tools to discover how and why you took on those beliefs, and the opportunity to determine whether they are still appropriate and useful in your life. No previous experience in shamanism or psychotherapy is necessary for you to benefit from this deep work on behalf of yourself or your clients. - This was the best experience I had in my long practice of shamanism: alive, joyful, deep, unconventional and meaningful. They guided me with wisdom and love towards myself. Michaela DISCOVER YOUR LIFE PURPOSE AND LIFE LESSONS: Hand Analysis & Shamanism - With Richard Unger
We will be calling on our own spirit guides for insights and on Richard's palm and fingerprints expert reading. Discovering your life purpose - the reason you're living the particular life you have - is likely the single most important understanding you can ever achieve for yourself. The search for life purpose is as ancient as civilization itself. We all ask, "Why am I here on Earth?" "What is the purpose of my life?" "What am I here to learn?" These existential questions are universal and are asked by many people, often in desperate situations, who know, deep down, that the experiences of their lives are not arbitrary, that there are reasons, if only they could understand them - then their lives would have meaning. Your life purpose is your north star in the dark night as you navigate your canoe. It is the compass by which your soul directs your life journey. It is the key to realizing who you came here to be, and what you came here to accomplish. |
