Recapitulation One
The practice of self-healing is deeply rooted in the techniques of recapitulation and the methods of recovering your energy. This involves healing past wounds, distinguishing between what is personally yours and what is not in the world. Niteshad (Gary Mills) has written in depth about recapitulation as a practice, as well as other methods for self healing. This class, focusing on recovering your energy, will span eight weeks. The extended duration is necessary due to the nature of the practice, which requires ample time to initiate and evaluate. Self-healing is a journey that can take time, and our class is designed to accommodate individual paces and needs. Class Duration: 7 weeks No prerequisites required.
Spirals One
The Spirals class delves into the understanding, application, and recovery of personal intent in the context of shamanism. This class provides a comprehensive study on the ways our own intent, as well as that of others, influences our interactions in the world. It commences with an exploration of what 'intent' truly signifies and how it governs our lives. We will delve into the essence of intent as an energy and the methods shamans employ in handling intent in their own lives, using intent to effect change in the world. Intent isn't synonymous with 'wishing upon a star', however, its influence on everything within and around us is crucial for anyone embarking on the journey of shamanism. The class is a seven-week intensive on the nature of intent, complete with relevant exercises and practices. Class Duration: 7 weeks
Quicksilver
Quicksilver - Exploring Shamanism, Perception, and Awareness At the core of all existence lies awareness, the inherent capability to connect with energies beyond our own, to be conscious of them in every way. Perception shapes and supports the world as we perceive it. For those studying shamanism, the ability to influence and master these aspects of their energy forms the foundation of their shamanic journey. Proficiency in awareness and perception unveils both the inner and outer cosmos. This class delves into the true nature of awareness and perception, their distinctions, and their interplay. In this course, we commence the process of shattering the narrow perception we have inherited, a journey deeply rooted in shamanism. Prerequisites: None, but Recapitulation 1 and Spirals 1 are suggested, yet not obligatory. Seven Weeks
Dreaming One
The class on dreaming delves into the study of how to manipulate dreaming energy and is more than a mere introduction. The primary focus will be on sleep dreaming, explored through the lens of active dreaming. This isn't a course about interpreting dreams, rather it's about shamanic dreaming and the methods that shamans employ to interpret, control and utilise their dreaming energy, aligning with the principles of shamanism. Dreaming practices are among the most intricate in the shamanic repertoire, making this class a journey into the heart of the Makers' tradition. As a prerequisite, one of the first three classes in shamanism is required.
Class Duration: 7 weeks
