Intensive Training to clear and heal the luminous body
4 level certificate training
It is planned for June 2004 to offer an exciting 4 level certificate training in
shamanic extraction. Core piece will be the ancient 10.000 year old
practices of the Peruvian Shamans of the high Andes, descendents of the Tibetan
Shamans and their traditions. Besides soul retrieval extraction is one of the
central healing methods in shamanism worldwide. The program will start with a
lecture about Shamanism and a basic workshop on a weekend followed by three more
three day long intensive courses in shamanic extraction. In each seminar the

Defined
as the oldest spiritual practice of humankind - practiced at least 40,000 years
- Shamanism developed cross-culturally and cross-socially in its foundations in
the same way. Shamans work with compassionate, helping spirits in trance states
that are induced for example through the monotonous rhythms of a drum or rattle,
singing or other techniques. They access information in the many levels of our
universe in non-ordinary realities of the spirit world for healing purposes and
divination. For the shaman the
whole universe is alive and all creation can be contacted with respect for
restoring balance and harmony and to bridge the worlds.
In this
weekend workshop participants learn how to access the spirit world and how to
find and interact for the good of all with their personal spiritual guides
and power animals. Please

Medicine Drum Making Workshop
"The drum is the Great Spirit's favorite instrument. That is why we are all given a heartbeat.” Mano, Navajo Elder
The heartbeat of our mother is the first
sound we hear in our lives, the first rhythm in which we develop. This might
connect us deeply to the sound and rhythm of the drum, the oldest instrument of
humankind. The beat of the drum is able to alter our state of consciousness so
that we can enter the realms of spirit. Above this the frequency of the drum is
aligned with the magnetic field of the Earth – drumming reconnects us with the
big heart of the Great Mother of us all – opens up a sacred container for
peace, joy, ecstasy and healing to be experienced.
The
drum also is a symbol for the circle of life, empowered through the ancient
rhythm of the heartbeat – the two poles in between which life itself
oscillates. All life develops in circles. To gather in a circle and to drum is a
sacred ancient ritual performed all over the world to celebrate spirit, life and
all creation. A-HO.
In the weekend workshop we will
build our own Medicine Drum in sacred space. Before we start to work with the
materials we will honor the give away of the animals and the trees, which gave
their lives for the drum to be born. The process of building the drum is a
sacred journey, a magic dance, where each drum and the way it is brought into
being deeply reflects the drum maker and her way of interacting with life. That
is how the drum and her creator become one. We work with elk rawhide, deerskin,
sheepskin and maple frames to create a unique drum with a beautiful
sophisticated drumbeater.
