CARING, CURING, COMMUNITY:
BEFRIENDING THE THREE MUSES OF SHAMANISM
|
“It seems
truly mysterious that the powers of sickness and cure, which traffic so
intimately with each human life remain, finally, hidden and obscure. The
irrepressible desire to bring those powers to light accounts for the restlessness
of human inquiry, wandering in search of surer knowledge, clearer signs—whether
medical or mystical. That same restless desire explains why so many religious
traditions have found sickness and healing—and the impulse to care—to be the
paradigm of the human condition in the world.” --Lawrence E. Sullivan

Today’s
practitioner of shamanism leaves new footprints on paths of psychic awareness
and spiritual wisdom that are over 30,000 years old. Shamanism is a
soul-infused tradition of spiritual healing, transformational power and
perennial wisdom that sees all of life as interconnected and sacred. The
process of awakening to this shamanic worldview is as vast as the universe
itself. It excludes no one, yet favorably embraces those willing to surrender a
limited sense of self. One must live it to understand it. This weekend
apprenticeship experience is designed to offer participants a heartfelt
deepening of their shamanic life. It is both an affirmation of one’s oath to
serve the betterment of humankind and celebration of this possibility in and of
itself.

Sustained by
the millennial cosmovision and ritual practice of Peruvian Curanderismo, core
teachings designed specifically for this weekend intensive shall be derived
from the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition cross-cultural shamanism as originated by don
Oscar Miro-Quesada. Ceremonial processes conducive to interpersonal
transparency will awaken profound states of caring in all present. The artful
co-creation of sacred space will serve as a container in which the magic and
mystery of curing is disclosed, thus harmonizing both body and spirit. And out
