Healing the Light Body School in Utah, September 12-17, 2010 < Download Logistics Letter> 
Please us for the upcoming Healing the Light Body South in Park City, Utah
September 12-17 2010, directed by Dr. Alberto Villoldo and Linda Fitch. The Healing the Light Body School is a one-year to 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. Welcome to 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. This class will be taught by Linda Fitch. The lead teacher is Christine Allen.
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 Laika luminous healing traditions. Sessions are scheduled approximately every four to six months. This program includes seven sessions:

(a two-week Peru Expedition can be substituted for this one course)
Generally sessions are taken in order, but students can take them at different locations.
These four sessions and three Master’s classes will complete your Healing Light Body class requirements. Submission of cases studies is required for certification.
Location: We will be working in Park City, Utah. For those of you flying in, you will need to make airline reservations to Salt Lake City, Utah. Park City is at least thirty-five minutes from the airport, so please plan your flights and shuttle time accordingly. The course will be held at Prospector Square Lodge and Conference Center. Shuttle and driving information is attached.
Lodging: To reserve a room at Prospector Square Lodge and receive The Four Winds discount, call the Lodge directly at (435) 658-3030 or toll-free at (888) 283-3030
as soon as possible. Be sure to mention that you are with The Four Winds to qualify for our special group rate.
Please Note: it appears that a number of students are making reservations for lodging with other properties. This has significant impact on the hotel’s production and staff costs. As a result, Prospector will charge a modest "day use" fee for those of you who will be staying off site or booking through other management companies.
Upon check-in to your class, hotel staff will collect a fee of $10.00/day (total of $50.00), for those of you not booking through them. It is important to realize that even if it appears you are staying "on location", unless you have booked directly through the Lodge, you will be charged this fee. Please be sure to call the above number to insure that you have reserved one of the Prospector's properties.
Program Registration: Please fill out the enclosed registration form and application; include your $300 deposit. The individual session cost is $1,650 (including the deposit). We have a number of savings options available so please contact us for further details. Mail your forms to The Four Winds office, fax to (435) 647-5905 or register online at www.thefourwinds.com. Because you are making a long-term commitment, your $300 deposit is non-refundable. The program fee does not include accommodations at the venue or meals.
Class begins the first day of the session at 3 pm. Registration begins at 1 pm. The session ends at 1 pm on the last day.
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.
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.
