Jesi (Italy), 17-18 December 2011, The Great Jump: Entering 2012
with Franco Santoro & Letizia Mocchegiani
This workshop is for those who long to take a decisive leap into the
discovery and manifestation of their unique potentials and authentic purpose,
so as to provide benefits to themselves and the whole environment. The workshop
also aims at showing how apparently insurmountable obstacles and crisis can be
used to give shape to our most ambitious dreams. During our time together we
will also unveil how in every moment of our life, dark times included, we are
never alone and there are immense forces available to provide support. The
event takes place on the eve of the winter solstice, which will also mark the
official entrance into 2012. This is the portal of the unceasing cycle of
darkness and light, bringer of the promise of an imminent birth full of joys
and blessings. Behind the deceiving layers of shadows and grievances that often
appear to depict the autumnal sky, a realm of unconditional luminosity blossoms
abundantly. This workshop is held in the medieval town of Jesi, birthplace of
Frederick II, at Villa Borgognoni (http://www.ostellojesi.it/). Income related
prices: Euro 145 – 185 – 215. Bursaries are available.

Findhorn Foundation (Scotland) 10-24 March 2012 The Blessed Way of Passion
Intensive - Foundation Training in AstroshamanicHealing Touch
With Franco Santoro, assisted by Ash & Simon Balderson
AstroshamanicHealing® Touch is a bodywork application of Holistic Awareness
and Bona Fide Sexuality. Its aim is to explore the body's spontaneous energies
of ecstasy and arousal, unveiling and directing their healing potentials with
integrity, spiritual alignment and clarity of intention.
We experience the multidimensional and shamanic dynamics of holistic
sexuality, employing the body as a keyboard aimed at recovering and grounding
planetary forces. With deep trance bodywork, we share ways of channelling
profound passions, releasing blocks that hinder our potentials and celebrating
the sacredness of life.
Completion of the training provides a solid basis for advanced work,
enabling participants to continue their practice autonomously, including the
option of accessing our certification programme.
The training is fully integrated in the environment of the Findhorn
Foundation, where it originated in 1999, and participants are held by the
healing features of community life and the sacred landscape of Cluny Hill
College.
Clear group agreements are held at all times to create a safe space.
Participants set their own boundaries and do only what simultaneously honours
both themselves and others.
The training consists of two workshops, which may also be attended
independently, or expanded into a longer training programme, including an
optional integration week and further workshops.

With Franco Santoro, assisted by Ash & Simon Balderson
This week is a complete introduction to AstroshamanicHealing® Touch, and
its basic applications. Through shamanic trance, energy work, dance, soul
retrieval and gentle forms of physical contact we receive visions and insights,
redeploying energy and passion in accordance with one’s life purpose and
the web of life.
We explore the holistic and spiritual dynamics of sexual energy, as they
are strategically portrayed by the astrological archetypes, aligning ourselves
with the flow of life and opening up to new horizons of purpose and
harmony.
We also experience the holistic features of relationships, sharing ways to
release intense feelings, promoting forgiveness, transformation and
unconditional love.
With Franco Santoro and Ash & Simon Balderson
Bona Fide Sexuality is holistic and sacred sexuality embracing every aspect
of life, including physical intimacy and chastity, spirituality and the Divine.
It is aimed at unveiling and expanding the awareness of our multidimensional
nature, releasing denial and conditioning, while promoting forgiveness with a
deep sense of integrity and service.
During this second week participants will experience advanced applications
of AstroshamanicHealing® Touch, including elements of Primal Embrace, a full
body healing practice.
The week is designed for people who intend to employ this work both for
themselves and in their practice with others. The previous week (or a preceding
edition) is a prerequisite for attendance.
Group agreements are held at all times to create a safe space and
participants are invited to set their own boundaries and do only what
simultaneously honours both themselves and others. Open to participants of all
sexual orientations.
With Franco Santoro
Who is God to us? Do we feel embarrassed or disturbed to use this word? How
does the God of our early education relate to our present experience? Is this a
loving or a judging God? What are the related blessings and wounds? This
workshop aims at exploring our connection with God from a shamanic and holistic
perspective, bridging the gap between direct experience and religious beliefs.
The workshop is a wide-ranging journey, encompassing a tapestry of shamanic
practices from the Christian tradition, also with elements of Gnosticism,
esoteric astrology and A Course in Miracles.
Whether we consider or ignore them, the Judo-Christian traditions shape the
matrix of our contemporary culture. The week is ideal for those wishing to
heal, restore or deepen their relationship with God, facing and releasing
unresolved grievances with their spiritual roots, while also opening up to
their blessings and ecstatic mysteries.

This week can be followed by the Gathering, Into Christ Consciousness,
taking place at Findhorn, from Saturday 7 – Tuesday 10 April 2012 (see:

production. The training is designed for newcomers as well as if you want to

ourselves and our environment. During the week we employ movement to animate
deep emotions and stagnant energies, redirecting them to support highest
potentials, empower authentic visions and step into the healing flow. It
includes astroshamanic chants, planetary alignment dances, sound healing,
shape-shifting rituals, and the basic astroshamanic drumming method.

Astroshamanic Summer Retreats in Italy - The 12-Day Special
We will hold three workshops this summer: in Jesi and Assisi
Exact dates will be given in January 2012, yet all workshops will be in
July 2012.
These workshops are aimed at purposefully promoting the emergence of a
healing collective consciousness and the release of dysfunctional patterns.
They will both focus on the multidimensional nature of the physical body and
sexual energy, involving astroshamanic touch and other practices with
well-defined boundaries aimed at promoting powerful healing with integrity,
sacred passion, joy and awareness.
All workshops in Italy are held in Italian and English (with ongoing
translation by Franco in both languages), with the use of both languages
serving a strategically healing purpose, and are open to participants speaking
either Italian or English. For information: info@astroshamanism.org or Letizia
Mocchegiani +39 0731206687 o 3489231998 letizia@astroshamanism.org

Jesi (Italy), July 2012
Bona Fide Sexuality - AstroshamanicHealing®Touch Basic Workshop
With Franco Santoro & Letizia Mocchegiani.
Dates to be confirmed. This workshop is for those who intend to embrace
their ecstatic nature, being transparent regarding their autthentic passions
and allowing them to serve the emergence of a planetary healing
consciousness.
Bona Fide Sexuality is holistic sexuality embracing every aspect of life,
including physical intimacy and chastity, spirituality and the Divine. It is
aimed at unveiling and expanding the awareness of our multidimensional nature,
releasing denial and conditioning, while promoting forgiveness with a deep
sense of integrity and service.
AstroshamanicHealing® Touch & Primal Embrace is a shamanic application
of bona fide sexuality. Its aim is to explore the body's spontaneous energies
of ecstasy and arousal, uncovering and directing their healing potentials with
integrity and clarity of intention.
Drawing from the practices of ancient mystery schools, Astroshamanic Touch
& Primal Embrace works on the multidimensional body, through the empowering
use of shamanic trance, according to clear boundaries and in alignment with
planetary rhythms.
The physical body is a dynamic sexual vortex continually relating with a
multidimensional field of energy. Yet what we humanly perceive about the body
is mainly the product of belief systems based on separation and the denial of
our holistic nature. When we are open to release these belief systems and forms
of conditioning, new and much more exciting configurations emerge. Once these
are consciously and pragmatically experienced, they can be gradually integrated
into everyday reality, healing the fragmented self and reconnecting it to its
original source.
During this basic workshop we explore ways of employing physical contact
and sexual energy to foster expanded states of consciousness, retrieve soul
parts, reawaken healing talents and allow these to integrate into everyday
life.
Through the sensitive and empowering use of ritual strokes, contact and
postures, we work on the multidimensional sexual body, reawakening the
remembrance of our original nature and purpose.
The intent is to release blocks that hinder our potentials, celebrating the
sacredness of our multidimensional body in alignment with the healing flow of
energy.
With deep trance bodywork, we share ways of channelling profound passions,
transforming and merging them in accordance with our life purpose.
Firm and clear group agreements are held at all times to create a safe
space and participants are invited to set their own boundaries and do only what
simultaneously honours both themselves and other participants.
Participants of all genders and sexual orientations are welcome.
The workshop is in English and Italian.

the outer and inner environment.
In this workshop we use physical contact to foster expanded states of
consciousness, sacred intimacy, and bona fide sexuality, promoting healing of
deep collective wounds and taboos around sexuality, death and our
multidimensional nature (including our connecton with the Divine.) We will
explore the multidimensional and holistic dynamics of sexual energy, aligning
ourselves with the flow of life and opening up to new horizons of purpose and
harmony.
Firm and clear group agreements are held at all times to create a safe
space and participants are invited to set their own boundaries and do only what
honours them and the other participants simultaneously

Eileen and Peter Caddy, with Dorothy Maclean moved the first steps leading to

recently been awarded UN Habitat Best Practice designation from the United
Nations Centre for Human Settlements (HABITAT).
The workshop Being with the Spirit of Cluny Garden includes practical
gardening and connecting with nature in all its forms, as well as landscape

the landscape and their unseen essence, exploring how energies in their various
forms relate to and affect our inner and outer life.
The Astroshamanic Grid (click here) and geomantic mapping of the territory
of Cluny Hill College is a major feature of these workshops. The Grid involves
intimately working with the astrological archetypes, which are reflected in a
12-sector division of the territory of Cluny Garden. During this workshop the
whole territory of Cluny Hill College becomes a sacred geomantic circle, which
participants can use to receive guidance, release grievances, express their

with nature.

polarities. Participants will employ advanced applications of healing methods
and receive an experiential introduction to astroshamanic healing and spirit
medicines. In this workshop we will discover ways of employing touch in order
to foster expanded states of consciousness, retrieve soul parts, reawaken
healing talents and integrate them in everyday life. We will explore our
multidimensional nature, employing the physical body (combined with the
birthchart) as an astroshamanic keyboard aimed at recovering and grounding
archetypal planetary forces. The intent is to release stagnant identifications
that hinder our potentials, aligning ourselves with the dynamic flow of energy
that opens up to new horizons of ecstasy, purpose and harmony. With sacred
sounds, trance and dances, and Franco will share ways of channelling deep
emotions and passion, tranforming and merging them in accordance with
one’s life purpose. This workshop involves gentle forms of physical
touch. For information and bookings: Bookings, The Park, Findhorn, IV36 3TZ,

The Findhorn Foundation Training in Astroshamanism provides an
in-depth experience of contemporary shamanism and spiritual healing research in
alignment with the principles of inner listening, co-creation with nature and
service that characterise the Findhorn community. Participants in the training
are encouraged and supported in opening, discovering and implementing the
relationship with their inner guidance and soul’s purpose. This also
involves releasing blocks and retrieving hidden potentials, learning to use
shamanic healing in their life and relationship with others. The training also
implies exploring alternative realities, non-ordinary perception, ecstatic
realms and spirit guides, yet with a sensible and down-to-earth attitude, aimed
at ensuring a healthy integration with everyday life.
The training is designed for newcomers as well as for those who wish to
consolidate previous experiences with shamanism or related methods. Franco runs
these two weeks not only with the aim to teach you basic and advanced
techniques, and how they can be applied according to your individual potential,
but also to provide participants with the support thereafter. Hence the
training is aimed to allow participants to continue their work autonomously
with gained clarity and sense of purpose, while also giving them a solid basis
for more advanced work and training options, such as the Astroshamanic
Practitioner Training or the Operative Training in
Astroshamanism.
A vital benefit of all astroshamanic training modules is that they are
designed for you as an individual, both at an ordinary and multidimensional
level. The courses also involve one-to-one sessions, aimed at helping to get
the most from the healing work. The astrological chart and its experiential
applications are another most unique and effective aid in all astroshamanic
trainings, and are a constant reference throughout the courses. The group
element also plays a central healing role, and if you have attended other
astroshamanic workshops you will be familiar with the amazing connections that
the group experience.
The training consists of two workshops, which can also be attended
independently.
20-26 March 2010, Workshop 1, A JOURNEY INTO THE INNER UNIVERSE
This workshop focuses on the clarification of the life Intent and the
connection with the Spirit Guide. Participants will be trained in working with
basic astroshamanic techniques for expanding perception and reawakening their
authentic purpose. The programme includes: astroshamanic voyages, trance dance,
totemic postures, circle positioning, astrodrama, ceremonial sharing, planetary
chants, the ritual of the Sacred Cone and various opportunities for integrating
shamanic work with ordinary reality.
27 March - 3 April 2010, Workshop 2, THE VOYAGE THROUGH THE ZODIAC
During this second week participants will experience the whole spectrum of
astroshamanic archetypes, retrieving and transforming blocked energies,
strengthening the relationship with their multi-dimensional self and Intent.
This workshop is designed for people who intend to employ shamanism both for
themselves and in their practice with others. The previous week (or another
one-week workshop with Franco) is a prerequisite for attendance.
This two-week training is held for the 7th time at the Findhorn Foundation,
as always in the months of February/March, the time of Pisces, which represents
a time of heightened spiritual awareness and completion of the zodiacal cycle,
the preparation for facing the shift to a new cycle starting on the Spring
Equinox.
Since the first edition of the training in 2003 more than 120 participants
have benefited from this workshop (see a selection of comments below).
“A very well crafted programme, beautifully balanced, finely taught
out and excellent value for money.”
“It has been wonderful and heart-opening. Doors for me have opened
about being in relationship in a new way and also my views on spirit guides
have deepened in a very valuable way, and my inner sense of why I am on this
planet and what I am to do here has become clearer.”
“This workshop brought me back to my true passion and feeling of
being fully alive.”
“I gained a much wider and brighter picture of who I am, which I know
I will continue to connect with.”
“My awareness has grown immensely. I have found clarity regarding my
true intention on earth and the tools to manifest it”
“Franco is an excellent communicator and facilitator. He tailors the
programme according to the nature of the participants, blending group dynamics
with astroshamanic processes.”
“Franco is a gifted man with wisdom and sense of humour. He is
down-to-earth.”
“Franco is a wise man who knows his work well, dedicated, inspiring,
gentle, passionate, welcoming, available and open to questions.”
“I would like to affirm that this has been a mile-stone on my
life’s journey. Thank you. “I worried at first that the course
would conflict with my spiritual beliefs. In fact it not only complemented but
enhanced my knowing.”
“I found most valuable to learn the techniques and hear the
explanations first hand from a practitioner who was open, serious and
light-hearted, knowledgeable, and very capable of creating and supporting the
environment and energies we were working with.”

FINDHORN FOUNDATION TRAINING IN ASTROSHAMANIC TRANCE DANCE AND
DRUMMING
For ages shamans have used dance to reach expanded states of consciousness,
connect with ecstatic dimensions, retrieve lost parts, communicate with spirits
and bring healing on a planetary and individual level. This training is for
those who wish to deepen their practice of trance dance and shamanic sound
production. During these weeks we delve into trance dance and drumming
according to astrological and natural cycles, creating sacred space,
establishing connections with spirit powers, directing and redeploying energies
and using them to sponsor major transformational processes. The training is
designed for newcomers as well as for those who wish to consolidate previous
experiences with astroshamanic trance dance. Completion of the training
provides a solid basis for more advanced work. It is also aimed to allow
participants to continue their work autonomously with gained clarity and sense
of purpose. The training consists of two workshops, which can also be attended
independently.Basic Week (Workshop 1): Astroshamanic Trance Dances, Drumming
and Chanting:
31 July - 6 August 2010. Basic Week (Workshop 1):
In this workshop trance dance and sound are used as transformational tools
to open the pathway to expanded states of consciousness and a profound
awareness of ourselves and our environment. During the week we employ movement
to animate deep emotions and stagnant energies, redirecting them to support
highest potentials, empowering authentic visions and stepping into the healing
flow that allows us to reshape the world within which we live. The programme
also includes astroshamanic chants, planetary alignment dances, sound healing,
shape-shifting rituals, and the exploration of the basic astroshamanic drumming
method.
7 -13 August 2010, Advanced Week (Workshop 2):
This week is a special opportunity to experience the transformational
effects of shamanic trance dance, music and percussion on the human body, mind
and spirit. The workshop aims at unveiling advanced healing applications of
trance dance, including the mechanics of holding dance programs and shamanic
sound production. This is an intense week specifically designed for those who
wish to train in the astroshamanic trance dance healing way with a view to
becoming trance dance assistants and facilitators, specialists in shamanic
drumming and sound production. The previous week (or another one-week trance
dance workshop with Franco) is a prerequisite for attendance.
All relationships are a path to wholeness. Finding fulfilment through
intimate love associations may be one of our greatest desires, yet this search
can also cause acute conflict and pain. In this workshop we explore
relationships from a spiritual and shamanic perspective, tracking and releasing
blocks to our capacity to love. When the power of sacred relationships is
strong it can bring incredible healing and manifest miraculous effects in our
life and the whole environment. We encompass both couples and celibates, the
paths of sexuality and chastity.
