==> The Luminous Path: Mesa of the Heart

THE LUMINOUS PATH -
MESA OF THE HEART
*New Group Starts in San Diego June 25-28, 2009
San Diego, CA

In this time of global unrest we are witnessing the beginning of a paradigm shift from one that is power based to one that is heart based.  We are engaged in a collective initiation that requires we understand where we have come from so we can create our future based on this new paradigm.  As does any indigenous culture that is going through initiatory ritual, our shamanic workshops focus on understanding the evolution of consciousness that has brought us to this time in history so we can step into the future and truly create with freedom from the stories that no longer serve us.  Shamanic traditions have bequeathed us the tools we need to navigate this initiation.  Combining an understanding of evolving consciousness and shamanic practices, the Luminous Path will help you write the future you dare to dream.

Tuition: $525

==> DESPACHOS

Wednesday through Sunday
September 10-13, 2009, San Diego

Offering a solid foundation in Peruvian despachos, we explore the cosmology that governs the creation and process of coming into ayni with the spirits of Pachamama, Apus, and other archetypes. This workshop guides you through considerations of local and personal responses to coming into right relationship with the governing spirits.

The despacho is an essential element in all forms of healing, in the completion of the healing process. It becomes necessary within that process, just as you incorporate work with the mesa, Florida water, the use of a rattle and./or drum. The despacho is not optional for the committed shaman as it is an essential component of personal healing and the healing of the land.

The Despacho must come from the heart and to come from heart one has to understand it and know it and feel it. We offer you a way to respond beyond form, to enter within your own personal cosmology and commune with the forces of nature in a way that is uniquely personal to you and where you live. This is not a course that ends with form, but becomes the platform that guides you to what is relevant to you.

The despachos for the workshop will include:

• Ayni despacho
• Aya despacho
• Protection despacho
• Apu despacho
• Pachamama despacho
• Ocean despacho
• Solstice despacho

Tuition: $695

==> ANDEAN MESAS

Wednesday through Sunday
November 5-8, 2009, San Diego

You may have read books by Elizabeth Jenkins, Joan Parisi Wilcox, Carol Cumes and others about the Andean teachings and initiations. Because Liana’s native language is Spanish, she has had the rare opportunity to work directly with paqos throughout the Andes, including Freddy "Puma" Quispe Singona before he became famous! It is the knowledge that has come from Liana’s studying with shamans such as Freddy “Puma,” Mallku, Juan Nuñez del Prado, Ruben Orellana and others that makes up the foundation for the Andean Mesas course.

Explore the ancient teachings of the Inka and experience first hand the world of 'living energies' that comprise the different mesas. During this workshop, you will be presented an overview of the various Andean Mesas. You will then work very deeply with six mesas, learning practical tools for freeing energy from the body and from physical locations. In addition, you will be trained in transforming energies that may lead to illness, depression and conflict to create health and well-being. Not only will you learn how to assemble the different mesas, you will also learn exercises to increase, develop and enhance personal power. You will discover ancient rituals and blessings performed by the Inkas centuries ago that pertain specifically to each mesa.

The mesas to be covered are:

• Pachacuti Mesa
• San Pedro Curandero Mesa
• Salka Mesa
• Elementals Mesa
• 3 Worlds Mesa
• Star Mesa

Join us for this amazing opportunity that won’t be repeated again until 2010! We hope you will be called to explore this magical world.

Tuition: $695

*  JOURNEYS & RETREATS  *

==> WILDERNESS QUEST: HEALING THE HEART

Wednesday May 20 – 24, 2009, Northern AZ

Are you ready to heal your heart? This solitary retreat in nature is for the purpose of receiving spiritual guidance and healing the heart. In tribal customs, it was a time to receive divine guidance to benefit oneself and one's tribe. In our modern era, when so many people feel disconnected from their natural source and alienated from their spirituality, the wilderness quest can be a powerful way to reconnect with both.

Here you leave behind the demands of everyday life, explore your intuitive senses, learn to listen to your inner voice and be still and alone in nature, opening the way for transformative healing. This wilderness quest will help you reconnect with the most important person in your life – you. For some, the time alone on the high desert marks an ending– divorce, job change or other life transition; for others, it marks a new beginning. For all, it is a significant rite of passage.

You will receive instruction in meditative and intuitive techniques, based on shamanic practice, allowing you to easily become receptive to inner guidance. You will learn tools and develop skills to connect with spirit; clear old wounds and blocks; and identify your purpose and role in the universal scheme.

Tuition: $595.00 (This fee covers all meals except during solo time plus snacks throughout the day)

==> Inka and Navajo Sandpainting - The Art of Healing

August 19-23, 2009

In this retreat we explore the healing gifts of sandpaintings.  Like the Inka, the Navajo live in harmony with "Mother Earth" and "Father Sky", and with all nature. All plants are sacred, and when something bad happens, the people presume that they have fallen out of harmony with their world, or surroundings, or unwittingly hurt or damaged some other part of their world.  To set things back in balance, to right the wrong, the medicine person creates a sandpainting.  

Tuition:  $425 USD
