Healing the Light Body School in Finland, May 7-12, 2010 < Download Logistics Letter> 
We are so pleased to invite you to join us for the upcoming Healing the Light Body School, May 7-12, 2010, directed by Dr. Alberto Villoldo and Linda Fitch. The Healing the Light Body School is a two-year program leading to proficiency in Luminous Healing. The School was founded in 1982 by Dr. Alberto Villoldo, and is dedicated to training master healers in the practice of Energy Medicine. We invite you to take your first step of this marvelous journey where you will do the work of the South direction. The course work includes teaching, hands-on practice, meditation, experiential exercises, and ritual, intertwined with personal healing work. The class will be taught by Jeanette Mantel.
Students are empowered to develop creative, fulfilling, and spiritually grounded relationships and lives. If you have not already done so, we recommend that you read Dr. Alberto Villoldo’s book, Shaman, Healer, Sage to refresh yourself with the terminology and elements of the shaman’s journey.
This is an intensive training in Energy Medicine, following the Inka Luminous Healing traditions. Sessions are scheduled approximately every four to six months. The program includes seven sessions:
Session Dates:
Session One, The South: May 7-12 2010, in Karis/Karjaa, Finland
Session Two, The West: Sept. 16-21, in Karis/Karjaa, Finland

Generally sessions are taken in order, but students can take them at different locations. The three Master’s classes are not scheduled to be held in Finland so please check our schedule to find other location in Europe or the United States that will best accommodate your schedule.

Class begins the first day of the session at 3 pm. Registration begins at 1 pm. The session ends at 1 pm of the last day.
What to Bring: Come prepared to do evening fire ceremony and outdoor explorations.
Plan according to the time of year and the site location. You may need to bring a coat or jacket, boots, raingear, a flashlight, etc. Wear comfortable clothes, as much of the work is done on the floor. Chairs are available for those who need them.
During class sessions we will be working on the floor. Please dress comfortably and bring any seating materials you might need. You might want to bring two sets of clothing appropriate for a ceremonial evening (nice dress, or slacks and shirt). We will be spending a significant time in ceremony. You will be using a pendulum, which can be purchased in many bookstores or new age shops. Bring rattle or drum if you have one.
You will receive the transmissions of the rites of passage of the Inka tradition. It is customary to gift the person giving the transmissions with a small token of your appreciation (you will need two small gifts). Bring a journal for notes. Handouts are minimal. We honor our tradition as an oral tradition.
In addition to the healing work, you will be doing the work of the South in the Medicine Wheel, the shedding of the attachment to your personal past, the way the Serpent sheds her skin. For this part of the work, you will need to bring three stones. Each stone should fit easily into your hand and move you or speak to you in some way. The stones will be the beginning of your altar. You will need a small ceremonial cloth to hold your stones.
What’s In a Day: Generally, each day will include morning breathing/meditation, teaching segments, sacred movement and dance (we have found that movement opens us to our energetic capacities), skill sessions, demonstrations, practice sessions and processing time. Evenings find us in ceremony.
