“We do not try to discover something new, but to recover
that which is lost.” – G. I. Gurdjieff
|
Supported and aligned, guided and inspired, awakened and
welcomed, we stand at a new beginning as prophesied by our Original Peoples of
the Americas. Beyond the well-known astronomical alignments, upcoming
equinoctial precession and never before witnessed convergences of history, people,
place, nature, and cosmos we are now living a time of great personal and
planetary responsibility. We are being gifted an opportunity to evolve beyond
our once dominant survival based individual interests and move into a
consciously unified force for change upon Gaia.
|
It is well known that December 21, 2012 marks an apocryphal date
associated with Mayan prophesy. From December 21 – December 28 is a seven-day
period that has also been associated with galvanized conscious Inner Work
intended to nurture a gentler birthing of a new era for humankind.
Consequently, this fifth Invitation 2012 intensive, Homecoming: A
Passerby's Odyssey from Earth to the Stars, by beginning on December 28 and completing its
transmission of perennial Gaian wisdom teachings on January 1, 2013, has been
meticulously orchestrated as a merging of sacred sound, artistic creation, graceful movement, ritual
deepening and soul honoring shamanic journeying to empower profoundly
compassionate healing service as our legacy to the Seven Generations. In a
nutshell, our coming together in sacred ceremonial co-creation will
intentionally anchor anchor a sustainable template of pragmatic Star Wisdom capable
of catalyzing the next octave (8-year evolutionary leap) in human global
spiritualization.

Visualize yourself
born from the eternal heart at the center of a Golden Spiral that has inspired
initiates of the Great Work since time immemorial. Awakened to a path focused
on restoring the primacy of consciousness behind all things material, we are
now increasingly re-Membering ourselves as a Six-Pointed Star Anointed 7th
Race upon planet Earth. This imagistic narrative is offered as a visionary
glimpse into the initiatory dimensions and shamanic ritual design of this fifth
Invitation 2012 apprenticeship offering. Envisioned by Don Oscar and complemented
through the deep transformational acoustic mastery of Byron Metcalf, this event
is guaranteed to blow your heart and mind wide open!
In essence, this
five-day initiation into Third Millennial Shamanism focuses on expanding the intrapersonal
(Self), interpersonal (Culture) and transpersonal (Nature/Cosmos) dimensions
contained in each of the five directions of our Pachakuti Mesa Tradition cosmovision.
Beginning with K'uychi in the center and spiraling outward counter-clockwise so
as to anchor universal shamanic wisdom within the body of Pachamama in the south,
participants will be treated to seldom revealed hermetic principles and
practices concerning our Rainbow Body (K’uychi Kurku) activation. As such we
may more fully celebrate the
healing grace and transformational beauty of our sacred membership as a unified
Rainbow Tribe upon this good Earth.—Aho Mitakuye Oyasin!
