"Creating the Life You Want: Spirit in Nature Shamanic Workshop,”
Te Wairua, Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand, March 12-18, 2011
Te Wairua, Pelorus Sound, Marlborough, New Zealand
15 - 21 February 2010
This introduction to shamanism will focus on the personal issues that concern us all: creating a more prosperous life of meaningful relationships, fulfilling and rewarding work, vibrant health, beauty, spiritual growth and a deeper connection with the earth and all its creatures.
If
we dare to believe, it is possible for us to merge with the
powers of the animals, winds, waters, leaves and stones. We
can learn their wisdom, acquire their strengths and become
their allies in our dancing co-habitation of this planet.
We are all descendents of shamanic peoples. These ancient,
world-wide spiritual traditions are our inheritance, and we
can relearn the techniques our ancestors used for healing
-- the healing of ourselves, families, communities, animals
and the Earth itself.
A remote, spectacularly beautiful nature reserve on the seashore
is the setting for this workshop, which will help us reconnect
with the Earth and hear again nature's voices. To open all
our senses, we will divide our time between drumming and shamanic
journeying, music, movement and art; videos; talk and meditative
silence; group activities and solo explorations indoors and
outdoors.

"Advanced Shamanic Training & Vision Quest”
John
Broomfield
“This is a rare opportunity for intensive shamanic practice with a senior teacher. Together we explore shamanic cultures from around the world, with special attention to New Zealand Maori and Australian Aboriginal traditions. These lay the groundwork for our own practice of advanced techniques. The workshop is conducted in a wilderness locale, which enhances the power of the practice and provides the perfect setting for a solo vision quest as its culmination.
“The workshop is for participants who have already had introductory instruction from a shamanic teacher. Group numbers are small so there is ample time for in-depth work on individual issues.” |

"Other
Ways of Knowing:
Seeing
with New Eyes, Living with New Joy"
The world
is not as it appears. This we are told by quantum physicists,
mystics, chaos theorists,
shamans, clairvoyants, yogis, and many others. Every spritual
tradition tells us that to see through the illusions, to know
things as they are, is to gain wisdom.
In
this practical and playful week of experimental work, we will
learn ways to break through the world of illusory appearances
to see that we have more choice in our construction of reality
than we believe.

"Exploring
Time "
Many people feel oppressed by time.
Through games, mind journeys and other exercises, workshop
participants experience the liberating fact that we have more
choice in the construction of time than we are led to believe.
