August 17-20, 2023

Ritual practices are central to our everyday life: wearing our lucky charm, prayers for auspicious outcomes, renewal events, celebrations of achievements, spiritual consecrations, rites of passage, milestones of human experience, mitigation of our stresses, etc.  In the embodied animistic reality of shamans, ritual is a key component for understanding the interplay of perception and consciousness. The shaman’s epistemology is born out of communion with the mystery through direct experience. Reality is populated with patterns, our own sense of self or identity is a pattern. 

Ritual broadens our understanding of our patterns in conjunction with the patterns of reality. The shaman’s ultimate quest is to have an embodied experience beyond the patterns of her own identity.  Through sacrificial ritual, she lets go of her own identity in order to merge with higher patterns of consciousness. 

In the mythos of our lives, we are driven by the pursuit of goals and we measure our success or defeat by our ability to create deep meaning; therefore identity. The experience and cultivation of meaning through ritual allows the shaman to transcend to higher numinous states of consciousness. Ritual is the means to transcend the continuity of our story lines and align ourselves with the memory of our becoming. Ritual invites us to step outside of time temporarily into a spiritual liminal state and renegotiate, realign, or change the nature of time predisposing our reality. Ritual can assist us to deal with the fear of the future, help us assert ourselves in the ephemeral exercise of linear time. Ritual can transport us back into our inner core, our factory setting, and deal with the challenges of uncertainty, the nature of our relations, hopes, needs, or challenges. Ritual is the doorway to assurance and communion.

Join us in this dialogue of depth and power as we explore the worldview and traditions of different shamanic practitioners from the jungles and mountains of Peru. We’ll explore our themes, cultural traits, mythologies that mold our perception and knowledge. We’ll learn rituals and ceremonies that connect us with the animating source of life in order to manifest creativity, healing, and transformation.

Pre-requisite: This training is offered to mesa carriers.

Suitable for all levels!

Join International teacher, Yogi Ashokananda, in this workshop where he will focus on practices, techniques, and experiential learning to lead you towards greater self-awareness and healing. You will expand your sense of who and what you are with the teachings of Yogi Ashokananda by applying the yoga & meditation disciplines he has developed.  

Yogi sees the journey of yoga and meditation as one which allows you to see all of yourself; his philosophy of “without engaging the vehicle, you cannot make any journey” applies to the engagement of the physical, emotional, mental, and psychological aspects of self through his practices of yoga and meditation. The spirit or soul, he says, does not need healing as it is already whole and complete; it is the consciousness, the awareness around the soul and the mind which yoga and meditation can help to clear giving you access to the spirit or soul and self-healing. The aim of the practices is to bring you to the center of yourself so that you can transform you and your life from this authentic place within you.

September 1, 2023, 6:30-8:30PM

Fee: $60

Suitable for all levels!

Yogi Ashokananda from India will examine what is meant by true relaxation – a state that leads to self healing, good health, happiness and increased productivity.   

Harnessing the energy of your subtle body and acquiring self-knowledge are key to relaxing into your true self and realising your inner power.   Yogi will highlight the traditional yogic beliefs that have influenced the meditation & mindfulness techniques and practices and will delve a little deeper into:  

• Importance of yoga & posture 
• Effects of relaxation on the nervous system 
• Power of Self-realisation 
• Breath & Prana  

You will be guided through basic relaxation practices, a fully guided meditation and Yogi will provide you with techniques to help you on your journey of self-discovery by encouraging self-examination, self-awareness and self-acceptance.  

These practices will allow you to relax into your authentic self without the pressure of having to be “happy” all the time. When this pressure is released, you will feel more content and fulfilled. You will become more aware of your own patterns of behaviour and the split between your material personality and your spiritual self is healed. As life around you becomes increasingly frenetic, it is increasingly important to find inner stillness.   

The practices are based on embracing the whole self and trying to create a sense of humanity, through accepting and transforming the lower three chakras, concerned with grounding, rootedness, mental and physical constipation, anger, sexuality, self-confidence, greed and lust.  

Your spirit or soul is already perfect and whole; it does not require healing. All it needs is space for you to experience your highest self. You can accomplish this by clearing the physical and emotional pathways to it and ridding yourself of samskaras (the imprints n your personality of unused emotions from experiences).  

Finding peace at the physical level and not running away from yourself in your mind is key. You will take away from this session practices to help you find  a long-lasting peace within yourself that allows you to be with all your emotions and feelings without the veneer of “positive thinking”. In this way, you can be your true, authentic self, connected and compassionate with yourself and others.

September 28-October 1, 2023

Join UK international author and teacher, Imelda Almqvist, for Seiðr/Fornsed & Norse Shamanism. This 4-day introduction course covers a large field of spiritual and mystical traditions where we will explore the indigenous ancestral pathways and spiritual wisdom teachings of Northern Europe. See about Imelda: www.shaman-healer-painter.com

 This course offers a foundation in the sacred arts of the Volva and Rune Magician (we study and practice oracular work and we make our own set of runes; we learn how to perform divination work for others and ourselves). This material is taught in traditional ways, closely following both the ancient texts (meaning the Poetic Edda, Prose Edda and sagas) and the old Scandinavian traditions and folklore. Imelda teaches this course with an academic and linguistic underpinning: She is fluent in Swedish ( and also understands, and  does research in, Norwegian and Danish) and has a working knowledge of Old Norse. 

However, we can't all "become Vikings" and go live in Scandinavia! Therefore I marry scholarship to the principle of personal revelation. (Meaning that we study the old material very closely but we also invite the gods, goddesses and inhabitants of the Nine Worlds to communicate with us directly and tell us how they wish to work with us in the context of the 21st century!) 

We will explore the following things:

Yggdrasil and the Inhabitants of the Nine Worlds

We will be introduced to  Yggdrasil (the world tree that holds up the universe) and the inhabitants of all the Nine Worlds (gods, goddesses, Norns, Valkyries, dwarves, elves, giants etc.) and provide a map for exploring these worlds.

The Norse Sagas and Myths

We will explore Norse Creation Stories as well as the myths about the end of the world: Ragnarök or Ragnarøkkr (Old Norse; meaning Fate of the Gods or Twilight of the Gods).  The NornsWe will explore the workings of the Web of Wyrd and the role of the Norns in spinning the lines of destiny (even for the gods!) We will also look briefly at the concept of Changing the Weave, (this will be taken much further during advanced work in my 2 year program in Sweden) 

Carving or creating our own set of runes

We study the runes, following the Norse order and names (not the Anglo-Saxon system!) and carve (or create in another way) a personal set of runes for divination and magical work. We explore what it takes and what it means to work as a rune magician in the 21st century!TrolldomWe take a brief  look at spells and traditional magical workings 

Shapeshifting and Berserking

I introduce the principles underlying these phenomena as explained by "the anatomy of soul" viewed through the Old Norse lens 

Galdr

We will touch on the magical power of songs and speech and how they relate to the ancient art of poetry. 

Blót

We will perform an offering ceremony. Blogs are offering ceremonies to the gods, traditionally performed at particular times of the year (major festivals) but often also for personal or global reasons. 

The Norse Gods and Goddesses

 We look at the roles of the goði and.gyðja (priest and priestess). We meet the Norse gods and goddesses: their teachings, myths, energy and unique character traits.  

Human Roles

The roles of human beings in this cosmology: the Völva as the ‘Sibyll’, Prophetess. The Godhi and Gydja: the local spiritual leaders and spirit workers.  

The Concept of the Spiritual Warrior in Norse Lore

The principle of sacrifice made in return for spiritual gain. Examples are Odin's Eye and Tyr's arm or hand. 

Divination and Prophecy

We explore how Seiðr can be used for divination and oracular work. 

High Seat Ceremony

We will perform a High Seat ceremony. Some people may have experienced a High Seat Ceremony introduced by American teachers with different personal backgrounds and varying levels of scholarship (and mastering Scandinavian languages - or not, as may be). I wish to make it very clear upfront that the High Seat Ceremony we will perform is the traditional Scandinavian version as it has always been performed in local communities - not an Americanized  interpretation of the sagas.

9:00 Thursday to 4:00 Sunday

Workshop will go into the evening hours.

Saturday, Sunday, Monday

Join us as we welcome Amantha Murphy from Ireland! Explore the ancient Irish shamanic traditions in this 3-day workshop as Amantha shares the ways of the Celts, Goddess and the ancient Tuatha de Danann. The way of the Celtic Shaman is rooted deeply in tradition and allows us to walk between worlds-- recognizing the interconnectedness between all living beings.   

The Shamanic tradition goes back over many thousands of years. Each clan or grouping of people held in reverence the Shamanic Way. This Way allows a person to walk between the worlds; recognizing the interconnectedness between all living forces both seen and unseen.  Journeying into these worlds for healing, for answers, for visions, brings a sense of continuity, wholeness and integration for self and for the clan.    

This workshop will cover: 

• Explanation of the Ancient Irish Shamanic Way.  
• The three worlds: Lower, Middle and Upper. 
• Soul Retrieval and Cutting the Ties. 
• Journeying with your allies and ancestral teachers. 
• Understanding the ancient Wheel of the Sun.
• Connecting with the Stone people and the Shinning Ones. 
• Using Drumming, rattle, dance, chants and sound.
• We will follow ancient pathways to release family issues and personal blocks. 
• We will work with nature, with sound and with movement: gathering our fragments together.
• We will drum, express and gain inspiration from this work.  

We literally do ‘walk on the bones of our ancestors’ and carry with us their lessons, their pain and their joy. All that has not been released from our foremothers and forefathers are contained within our DNA, within our bones and blood and this plays itself out in all our realities. For many, we lose ourselves in our Dream World as a way of playing out those energies trapped within. Yet in retrieving our Selves, we stand within the frame of our Being and our Being stands within us. We are then ONE.

About the  Instructor: 

Amantha Murphy is a Shamanic Teacher and Healer who follows the path of the Goddess. She started her spiritual work publicly in 1972 as a clairvoyant and moved into trance mediumship and healing within a few years. She developed many tools along the Way with her spirit and ancestral teachers guiding her, and continues to work with both individuals and groups, at home and internationally. She is a Mother of four and Grandmother of four, living in County Kerry, Ireland, working primarily with the Land, Seabhean Teachings, Rites of Passage, and Ancient Goddess Pilgrimages. Her passion is the Land and returning to HER story -- working through the Grandmothers, the “Shining Ones” - the Tuatha de Danann - and the Ancient Ones. She has been running Sacred Pilgrimages in Ireland since 1995.  

“From my earliest memories my spirit guides have been my constant companions. The spirit and fairy realm was more real to me than this reality. I grew up spending my summers here in Kerry with my grandmother, a midwife and healer, who opened my awareness from an early age to the essence of the Mother, the Land -- and Her Nature. It was she who introduced me to the Sacred Way and places to commune with the Great Mother.  I work primarily with the presence of the “Grandmothers”, the Way of the “Sidhe”, our Shining Ones, the Tuatha De Danann, my Ancestors and the Ancient Ones, our Stone People. Ireland had a rich culture of indigenous teachings before the coming of the first Celts and it is in accessing that and connecting again with our Ancient Ones that we bring about the deep healing and communion both within and around us.  My work, my family, my loved ones, my passion for the Great Goddess and the Land -- this is what moves and feeds me. The Land is my Mother and she has held me for as long as I can remember.”

Delve deeper into the Irish Celtic Shamanic traditions with Irish teacher and author, Amantha Murphy.  Pre-requisite: Ancient Irish Celtic Shamanism with Amantha Murphy

In this Advanced 3-day workshop:  

We will be delving deeper into the patterns we carry, in honor of our Ancestors, and look to see how they play out in our reality in the ‘here and now’.  It is only in recognizing, working though, integrating and releasing the roots that no longer serve us, that we can indeed stand in our power and sovereignty – owning all that we attract as the experiences and therefore teachings in this life.  We too are ‘ancestors in training’ and what and how we react or respond to what we have attracted to us, becomes the roots for future generations of our bloodline. 

We will access where we are holding those patterns, both physically and energetically, and begin the process of Journeying into the pattern to release and clear the blockage being held there. This gives/gifts us the opportunity to live purely and clearly in the now – all actions, choices and difficulties/opportunities being recognised as part of our creation.  Be-coming more conscious of how and what we create.  This brings us into alignment with our Great Mother Earth, as we move within our own unique seasons of Self in harmony with the Earths seasons.  

Moving into the Middle World we will move deeper into the Wheel of the Year and Journey on an Imramma. The Great Wheel reflects all of life’s growth – from conception to death, and we as a people, have honoured those times in our lives, throughout the ages. Much of that has been brought into the religions to accommodate the natural flow of ritual and ceremony that each one of us carries in our ancient memories. Here we begin to recognise and hold sacred those personal pivotal times in our own lives. As we take the Currach (spirit boat) across the great waters of life and consciousness, we connect within the betwixt and between.  

Shamanic Healing and Cutting the Ties with situations and people that no longer feeds or supports us and ‘singing the Soul home’ - weaving back all that might have been dis-connected through experiences we’ve been through. Every experience we have is a part of our living Weave and we can often, without realising or not able to let go, hold onto those experiences or people OR feel held by those experiences or/and people.  When we cut the ties – and sometimes reclaim or draw in those parts of ourselves that disconnected, due to pain, shock or hurt, we can then release without engagement.  We are able then,  to allow the experience or/and person/s to become part of our weave and not be determined by our story. In this way we grow and allow space for new and often conscious experiences to flow into our lives.  We move into conscious creativity.   

The Earth is our Mother and, just as we carry the DNA of our parents and ancestors, we carry too, Her DNA. We are made up of the Earth and the Stars. Our bodies are clothed with the earth, air, water and fire (just as our Earth is clothed in nature) and our spirit is imbedded with and from star energy. We are above and below. What happens to the earth is a reflection of us and how we become conscious and heal ourselves becomes part of Her.  Imagine being awake within every moment of every day - to self, to nature around us, to the breath of our living Mother. Her breath – our breath. Take a breath, a slow long breath - take another breath and feel yourself coming back to self.  We breathe in all that is carried upon the winds. 

Imagine now choosing to breathe in all of what is being released by others and transmuting that consciously into light, life, connectedness and love within each outer breath. Imagine doing that so regularly that it becomes instinctive. Each time you imagine, you are creating into reality…. Imagine then, doing that with the earth; the waters; the fire – the Living Force of all Life.  For that is who you are, a Conscious Breath of All Life.

About the  Instructor: 

Amantha Murphy is a Shamanic Teacher and Healer who follows the path of the Goddess. She started her spiritual work publicly in 1972 as a clairvoyant and moved into trance mediumship and healing within a few years. She developed many tools along the Way with her spirit and ancestral teachers guiding her, and continues to work with both individuals and groups, at home and internationally. She is a Mother of four and Grandmother of four, living in County Kerry, Ireland, working primarily with the Land, Seabhean Teachings, Rites of Passage, and Ancient Goddess Pilgrimages. Her passion is the Land and returning to HER story -- working through the Grandmothers, the “Shining Ones” - the Tuatha de Danann - and the Ancient Ones. She has been running Sacred Pilgrimages in Ireland since 1995.  

“From my earliest memories my spirit guides have been my constant companions. The spirit and fairy realm was more real to me than this reality. I grew up spending my summers here in Kerry with my grandmother, a midwife and healer, who opened my awareness from an early age to the essence of the Mother, the Land -- and Her Nature. It was she who introduced me to the Sacred Way and places to commune with the Great Mother.  I work primarily with the presence of the “Grandmothers”, the Way of the “Sidhe”, our Shining Ones, the Tuatha De Danann, my Ancestors and the Ancient Ones, our Stone People. Ireland had a rich culture of indigenous teachings before the coming of the first Celts and it is in accessing that and connecting again with our Ancient Ones that we bring about the deep healing and communion both within and around us.  My work, my family, my loved ones, my passion for the Great Goddess and the Land -- this is what moves and feeds me. The Land is my Mother and she has held me for as long as I can remember.”
