Edinburgh - Scotland, 12-13 January
2008, The Way of the North (Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces): One Year
Course in Astroshamanism and Experiential Astrology
It is possible to attend this workshop also if you do not attend the
One Year Course.
The North is the realm of winter, the air element and the mental
body. It is the way of renewal, cleansing and wisdom, the place where we
explore our deepest values and define honourable intentions. During this
workshop we interact with the multidimensional features of our environment,
moving beyond the perception of separation and finding our authentic role in
the web of life. We also investigate the community elements of shamanic work,
sharing our gifts and experiencing the healing power of the circle. The
programme includes dream-work, circle intention setting, spirit contracts and
other practices associated with the signs of Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.
This workshop is part of the One Year Basic
Course in Astroshamanism and Experiential Astrology.
Cupramontana - Ancona, Italy, 26-27 January 2008,
Astroshamanic Healing Touch
in Italian and English. This is the first introductory workshop of the
One-Year Course in Astroshamanic Touch. It is possible to take part
in this workshop also if you are not attending the One-Year
Course.
The One-Year
Course in Astroshamanic Healing Touch is devoted to the exploration of our
multidimensional body and the retrieval of its fragmented parts.
Astroshamanic Touch is a spiritual bodywork application of astroshamanism
meant as a tool for bridging the physical with our multidimensional nature.
By operating with other human beings, you melt and become a gateway,
channelling healing energy and directing it towards honourable intentions.
Astroshamanic Touch provides the energetic combination for awareness to get
away from conditionings and grievances, reawakening the original purpose and
claiming our multi-dimensional status. In these workshops we will discover
ways of employing physical contact and sexual energy to foster expanded
states of consciousness, retrieve soul parts, reawaken healing talents and
integrate them in everyday life. Through healing practices derived from
shamanism, experiential astrology, Christianity, the Celtic and Mediterranean
traditions, A Course in Miracles and other spiritual paths, we will
receive visions and insights to deepen the work. We will also explore the
multidimensional features of our relationships, sharing ways to release
intense feelings, promoting forgiveness, transformation and unconditional
love.
The Course
consists of five week-end workshops. Each workshop deals with a particular
aspect of astroshamanic healing touch as applied to the elements and the
astrological wheel. As long as you have attended previous astroshamanic
workshops, it is possible to take part in the workshops also if you are not
attending the One Year Course. The other seminars occur on 29-30 March 2008
(Touch of Fire), 28-29 June 2008 (Touch of Earth), 20-21 September 2008
(Touch of Water) and 20-21 December 2008 (Touch of Air).
For those who
attend the Astroshamanic Practitioner Training (APT), the One Year
Course is part of the curriculum and also includes a late afternoon and early
evening session on each Friday before the week-end workshop specifically
addressed to APT trainees.

purpose of sacred relationships is releasing the illusion of separation and

life purpose, embracing both the sexual and celibate path.
