IN THIS COURSE:
LEARN ADVANCED HOLLOWING-OUT TECHNIQUES
Hollowing out means stepping aside from our middle-worldThis physical world, and the energies ‘behind’ it. Everyday reality, both seen and unseen. stuff as much as possible, and from our own agendas and drives, beliefs and preconceptions, so the healing Spirits can communicate and work through us without all that getting in the way.
We need to hollow out, or our journeys will be coloured, driven and distorted by our ego.
MEET YOUR LOWER WORLD HUMAN GUIDE (and THE TRIBE!)
In journeys, true power and wisdom come not from the practitioner themselves, but from their ability to let greater, wiser spirits (their Guides) work through them. As well as the practitioner’s Power Animal, their Guides can include Human ones too.
Different Human Guides have different temperaments and personalities. Often they have different shamanic specialisms. Join us and meet yours!
AIR, FIRE, WATER AND EARTH TRANSFORMATION PRACTICES
Transformation practices use 5 elements to help us with healing and energy hygiene, hollowing out and they also prepare us for the ultimate transformation – death.
Common to all transformation practices is the experience of being taken completely apart and reduced to something formless, and then being reformed again. In a sense, they are a mini ‘death’ and rebirth.
They include various shamanic practices, including burials, burnings, dismemberments, dissolvings, cocoonings, poisonings and shapeshifting.
