Class begins the first day of the session at 3 pm. Registration begins at 1 pm. The session ends at 1:00pm on the last day.
Work of the East: During this session, you will be deeply engaged in the special ceremonies and rituals of the Great Death Rites – the rites of passage that will allow you to assist your clients in the greatest journey they will ever embark on. Our culture does not support us in the desire to die consciously. The processes you will learn in this week are a wonderful gift from our lineage and tradition. As always, engaging in these processes will bring you personally to a new level of letting go of lifelessness and embracing the joy of being alive. You will be doing the work of the East: The Path of the Condor – where you will be realigning the core energetic structures of the Luminous Body and envisioning who you are becoming as an individual and as a species. Here you choose a high destiny from the place of possibility, not probability. Please bring three stones for your East mesa.
What to Bring: Come prepared to do evening fire ceremony and outdoor explorations.
Plan accordingly to the season 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 Laika 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.
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.
Additional Opportunities: We are pleased to offer additional learning and healing opportunities in conjunction with your other Master’s courses.
Reading the Signs of Destiny April 25-30, 2010 in Rhinebeck, New York
Divination is the art of recognizing and aligning oneself with the signs of destiny. You will learn to read the signs provided to us by nature, randomness, and chance events. Shamanic seeing is the learned ability to perceive the luminous world of energy and spirit. You will discover ancient tools to awaken the shaman’s way of seeing. You will learn to sense the energy vortexes, or chakras, as well as develop the skills and tools for tracking and divination. During this week you will open the doors of perception to discover the luminous world of energy and spirit that surrounds us, and awaken the dormant seer within.
