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 - Scotland, 31 July - 13 August 2010,
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. See: http://www.findhorn.org/programmes/programme145.php
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.
See: http://www.findhorn.org/programmes/programme42.php
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
*Findhorn Foundation, Scotland, 23-29 October 2010, The Blessed Way
of Passion: Astroshamanic Healing and Touch.
A special
week devoted to the exploration of the ecstatic body and the harmonization of
its 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,
