Apprenticeship Curriculum

The Importance of Sacred Space, Creating a powerful Container and Sacred Reciprocity – i.e. Ayni

To begin your journey, you will create your own portal of support; a sacred altar/mesa. This initiation offers insight and experience and an anchor into understanding the importance of creating a container to work within. Once consecrated, your shamanic self will practice the ritual art of limpias; cleansing and clearing energies (hucha) that no longer serve you.

Living Seasonally – Listening to the rhythms of the Universe

The Queen of Heaven, our beautiful Moon- Mama KIlla, is a constant example of cyclical living. This session includes the powerful wisdom she offers daily. As we move towards winter, we attune to the energies of the upcoming Solstice. Guest Speaker, Julia Goerlitz, artist, herbalist, health educator offers her course “Bear Ways” to guide us into seasonal living. This weekend offers processes & rituals as helpful tools to anchor these cosmic rhythms deep into our bones.

The Importance of Offerings and Ritual: meeting your Nature Parents as you learn the language of the Universe.

The Qero Indian of the Andes state that we are born into this world with biological parents AND with Nature Parents.

We begin our new year with high ceremony of a despacho, or a  haywacuy. In our highest forms of gratitude we create a despacho to honor our Nature Parents and all the blessings of this life. Our Nature Parents are here to support every step on this earth walk, this day includes the initiation of journeying to meet your Nature Mother and Father.

Grandma is that you? Understanding our relationship with Ancestors

This session is a deep dive into the relationships of those that have gone before us; both land and lineage ancestors. This spiritual insight offers healing not only of your past but healing of the future too. Supportive work this weekend includes rituals for the dead and Shamanic Hypnosis with an emphasis on ancestral healing.

Shadow and Trigger  - The Realms of the Subconscious world – aka the Ukhu Pacha
This weekend we drop into the Ukhu Pacha, the lower realms. Discussion includes learning about this ripe terrain as well as the medicine of shadow work and being in trigger. As spiritual initiates it is key to be vulnerable as well as acknowledge that we have blind spots, (shadow). The lower realms is a rich composting area that assists us to grow and change, and perhaps find ways to make friends with discomfort. Maestra Freesia Huth, Shamanic Dance Specialist & Certified Transpersonal Hypnotherapist joins us this day to offer somatic support, wisdom & guidance.

Traversing the Worlds

This session offers the opportunity to understand the 3 worlds we live in: the Lower, Ukhupacha, the place of inner realms and subconscious transformation, the middle Kaypacha, our physical world, and upper the, Hanaq’pacha, where elevated beings reside and work from. Our job as earth stewards is to maintain the balance of these worlds.

This apprenticeship is an invitation to:

• Create a clear intention of your life’s purpose

• Be held by the beauty & power of nature & spirit

• Open to magic!

Let’s do it…
I look forward to seeing you there.
