Findhorn Foundation, 20 March - 3 April 2010, FOUNDATION TRAINING in ASTROSHAMANISM:

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.”

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.

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.

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.

*Findhorn Foundation - Scotland, 2-8 October 2010, Restoring the Fragmented Heart: The Way of Sacred Relationships

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. See: http://www.findhorn.org/programmes/programme406.php

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.
