Calendar for 2007After teaching for over 20 years I have decided to take a mini sabbatical in 2007. I will teach a few workshops. Now that all my teacher trainings are over it is now time to pass the staff for a little while. The world is changing rapidly and I want to use this year for visioning what changes I need to make in my work in order to best be in service to the planet. There are wonderful teachers listed on www.shamanicteachers.com and www.medicinefortheearth.com who provide local workshops in all the trainings I have been teaching. Please check out the wealth of teachers in your community. MEDICINE FOR THE EARTH GATHERINGSThe five-day training based on the information in Medicine for the Earth teaches how to transform personal and environmental pollution by learning how to transmute negative beliefs, attitudes, and energy which is generated by emotions. The process continues with learning how to work in cooperation with helping spirits and the spirits of the land as well as getting in touch with our own internal divine nature to create healing and transmutation. Participants will also take part in a ceremony to transmute water and other substances which will illustrate how the principle of harmony within creates harmony without. The training includes learning about working in cooperation with all the elements earth, water, air, fire. Other key elements and spiritual practices will also be explored which can be easily incorporated into daily life. These methods are necessary and helpful for transforming and transmuting environmental and personal toxins. In addition to the ceremony working with polluted water, long distance work will also be done, there will be a ceremony with fire, and an additional ceremony designed to transmute planetary problems. The great power of visioning will be explored and there will be a powerful ceremony with fire used to manifest visions. The work done as a group in collaboration with community and the spirits is truly a life transforming experience. Prerequisite: There are no workshops required for this training. Experience with shamanic journeying is required.

Contact: Gail Mesplay phone: 303-526-9202 email: towerhill391@aol.com THE WAY OF THE SHAMANThis is a beginning workshop on shamanic journeying which I teach for the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. During this experiential workshop, participants are introduced to core shamanism, the nearly universal methods used by the shaman to enter nonordinary reality for problem solving and healing. Particular emphasis is on the classic shamanic journey, one of the most remarkable visionary methods utilized to explore hidden universes otherwise known primarily through myth and dream. Participants are initiated into shamanic journeying, aided by drumming and other techniques for experiencing the shamanic state of consciousness and for awakening dormant spiritual abilities, including connections with Nature. Practice includes comparisons by participants of their discoveries in shamanic journeys as well as being introduced to shamanic divination and healing. They are also provided with methods for journeying to discover and study with their own individual spiritual teachers in nonordinary reality, a classic step in shamanic practice. Participants learn how the journey is utilized to help restore spiritual power and health, and how shamanism can be applied in contemporary daily life to help heal one-self, others, and the Planet. This training is the prerequisite for all advanced workshops and training courses offered by the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.

FIVE-DAY SOUL RETRIEVAL TRAININGThis training is residential and is based on Sandra Ingerman’s books Soul Retrieval: Mending the Fragmented Self and Welcome Home: Following Your Soul’s Journey Home and the CD program “The Soul Retrieval Journey” produced by Sounds True. The five-day workshop is designed exclusively for those who wish to bring shamanic healing techniques into their practice with others, not for personal healing. Participants will be trained to work with the issue of soul loss, will explore the experience of partial soul loss resulting from personal trauma and illness, and will learn how to track a person’s soul and return lost essence to that individual. The course also focuses on life after soul retrieval… how to create a healthier life after healing has taken place. Individuals attending the training will perform and receive a soul retrieval during the course of the week, and are given extensive instruction on how to work with clients after a soul retrieval through the use of shamanic journeying, ritual, and ceremony. Success at shamanic journeying and good contact with power animals and/or teachers in non-ordinary reality is essential for participation. Please do not enroll if you are not confident with your journeying skills. Prerequisite: The Way of the Shaman weekend workshop with a FSS faculty member.
