"Creating the Life You Want"
Spirit in Nature Shamanic Workshop,
Tapu Te Ranga Marae, Island Bay, Wellington
November 11-13, 2011

This course in shamanism will explore personal issues that concern us all: creating a more satisfying and prosperous life of loving relationships, fulfilling and rewarding work, vibrant health, beauty, spiritual growth and a deeper connection with the Earth and all its creatures.

“The shaman makes contact with the living dream that we share with the soaring hawk, the spider, and the stone silently sprouting lichens on its coarse surface.”
David Abram: The Spell of the Sensuous

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 ourselves, families, communities, animals and the Earth itself.

In this joyful, practical and playful workshop, we will divide our time between drumming and shamanic journeying; music, movement and art; talk and meditative silence; indoor and outdoor group activities and solo explorations. Some of the work will be indoors, some outdoors.

Tapu Te Ranga Marae is ideal for this work. Its whimsically artistic buildings, constructed by volunteers from recycled materials, stand in 50 acres of gardens and native bush. Workshop sessions will be Friday 7 to 9 pm; Saturday 9 am to 5 pm; and Sunday 9 am to 1 pm.

"Spirit in Nature: Creating the Life You Want"
Te Wairua, Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand,
February 18-24, 2012

The Eagle Connection 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.

“Shamanism involves both understanding the world and acting upon it. The shaman must strive to know how the world functions in order to make the processes that govern life and nature work for the benefit of the community. Spirit is more than just consciousness, and because it is capable of causing things to happen in this world it is a form of power. Much of the shaman’s work consists of harnessing it. Shamans are at once doctors, priests, social workers and mystics.”
Piers Vitebsky, University of Cambridge

"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:
Jo having fun 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.
