Each gathering is focused on specific themes intended to provide personal spiritual learning and experiential growth within a
supportive circle of peers. We gather on Thursday evening to join our intentions. Friday and Saturday are an immersion into the material including theory, demonstration, practice, shamanic ceremony and ritual. Meditation andshamanic journeying provide a foundation.

The following is a summary of the Medicine Wheel format:

Part I. March 18-21, 2010 Death, Rebirth & Transformation, (open class)

Birth and death are connected in the wheel of life. We begin and end our series with the death rite mysteries in order to liberate our own and others’ living and dying. We will be working within the great circle and cycles of life and death through Shamanic awareness and processes. This gathering will include a review of basic shamanism and journeying.

Part II. June 24–27, 2010 South, Serpent, Earth, Body (for continuing participants only)

Amaru is the Peruvian archetype of the serpent that holds the essence of the lower world or “Ukupacha” the unconscious accessed through dreams. The serpent is a symbol of primal creation energy and healing. We begin a medicine bundle/mesa and learn more about the luminous body as part of the tree of life. A ceremony to affirm your commitment to your own spiritual path and call to a higher destiny is honored.

Part III. September 23-26, 2010 West, Jaguar, Water, Emotions

Otorango, jaguar archetype holds a place in the Middle World or “Kaypacha” of conscious awareness. We connect with the sun and moon, the Divine Masculine & Feminine within the paradox of life.

Part IV. December 2-5, 2010 North, Hummingbird, Fire, Spirit, Ancestry

Wisdom resonates from within and can be consciously transmitted to you through sacred exchanges with the earth. What is your theme in life, your challenge and your grace?

Part V. March 3-6, 2011 East, Eagle/Condor, Wind, Mind

Communication and perception between worlds carries your driving vision. Apuchin is the winged archetype of the “Hanaqpacha” the Upper World domain of superconsciousness.

Part VI. June 16, 2011 Center, Rainbow Bridge, Unity, Innocence

Let go and discover the power of transformed consciousness anchored in physical being harmoniously connected to life cycles. This is your place in the center of creation, a rebirth.

The structure and content of the apprenticeship will involve a synthesis of information for personal growth and the opportunity to create a mesa based on Peruvian mystical cosmology and your relationship with the Divine. Shamanic methods of shifting perception, healing practices and rites of passage are part of each weekend. A more detailed account of the program will be given to participants.
