8/2 - 8/7/10: Peruvian Inca Mysticism Training with Elizabeth Jenkins

Summary:

Introduction to Inka mysticism This 16,000 year-old tradition of nature mysticism was brought to a height during the Inka Empire, 1100-1532 AD. This fascinating spiritual tradition teaches students how to interact with the Kausay Pacha, the world of
‘living energies. The Inka language reflects their preoccupation with the “energy world” and human experiences
of living energy. There is no such thing as “negative energy”, only heavy energy called hoocha and rarefied energy
called sami. Initiates are taught how to “eat” and “digest” or transform heavy energies that may lead to illness, depression,
and conflict. Initiates are also taught to harmonize the poq’po, or human energy field, with the 5 elements and the
forces of nature, leading to a high state of personal energy, happiness, and feeling connected to life. Elizabeth Jenkins
is a licensed psychotherapist and initiated fourth-level priest.

Level I
In this introductory class, you will
learn:
Cosmovision & Prophecy,Structure of the Inka tradition 7 energy principles, & 7 eyes
The Law of Ayni = sacred reciprocity
Yanantin/Masintin = harmonious relationship between different things
The Right and Left Hand Paths
Karpay = Initiation or Transmission
Qawaq = Clairvoyance Andean Style
Practices and Application
Saminchakuy = receiving refined energy andreleasing heavy energy
Hoocha Mijuy = eating and digesting heavy energy
Karpay Ayni = exchange of personal power
Yanachakuy = Ring of Power
Nawi Kachay = Opening the Seven Eyes
Runa Mast’ay = forming and using the collective bubble
Saywachakuy = creating a column of living energy

Level II
Introduction to Inka Mysticism. You will learn precisely HOW to make a despacho. This is
accomplished through identifying your local Apu Ayllu—the male and female nature spirits
that surround you where you live. This knowledge allows you to invoke and make offerings
to the Apus and Nusta’s where you live or any other location in which you may be working
and may want extra energy, help, and power to achieve your goals. To further work in the
Andean Path you must have your own MESA, which is like a portable altar, or power pack
that represents YOUR personal connections to nature spirits and sacred places and people of
power with whom you are connected.

Level III
Learning to see with all your eyes! Level III primarily addresses the real work of attaining
the fourth-level. Working with the Eradication of fear and fear-based behavior! Trusting your
true nature, your natural self. The real entrance into the fourth level has to do with the ending
of projecting your power onto others and the integration of the Royal Couple—the inner male and female.
At this level a new psychological vistas are open to you that you could not have from the third level. You can see your own shadow
clearly and you do not polarize situations—you harmonize them! Polarity is the mark of the 3rd level. Harmony is the mark of the 4th
level. Harmonizing more deeply with nature through talking, walking, speaking with trees,food, fruit, etc.

February 14:Valentine's Day / Aquarian New Moon Celebration

Summary:

An Afternoon of Love and Balance with "Ayni" Despacho and Fire Ceremony!

Come together as couples or as individuals to honor and manifest a loving, partnered relationship by celebrating a glorious Valentine's "Day of Love", the Aquarius New Moon and the Chinese New Year; the Year of the Tiger!

Join in community with others to bring into balance your heart's loving desires.

For Couples: Join together to renew and refresh your true heart's bond.

For Individuals: Come to accelerate the manifestation process for finding you soul's compliment.

Beginning at 1 pm, we will gather together to create an "Ayni" Despacho, an Andean prayer bundle, to bring ourselves into balance or "Right Relationship" with universal love.

The Andean "Ayni" Despacho Ceremony is an act of love and a celebration of life. It is an honoring and reminder of our connection with all beings, elements, spirits and sacred places. A despacho contains symbols of everything: elements, weather, clouds, rainbows, the four directions, lakes, rivers, the earth and stars. Every item is imbued with intent for connection and affects the totality of energy in the universe. The despacho returns balance to our lives and to our relationship between our secular and sacred worlds.

Once our "Ayni" Despacho Ceremony is completed we will offer it to "The Fire!"

A sacred Fire Ceremony will be held allowing each couple (as one) or each individual to present burnable offerings of release and honoring.

The first offering will be a small, combustible symbol of what ever needs to be released. We release that which is no longer for our highest good and honor the positive lessons learned from having experienced which needs to be released.

The second offering will be a small, combustible symbol of what is to be manifested. Gathered to you a new destiny path and incorporated it into your new or renewed life. (Please bring these offerings for the Fire Ceremony with you!)

Bring your Drums and Rattles to celebrate with at the Fire Ceremony! Mesa Carriers are welcome to bring their Mesa's and Sacred Tools!

The culmination of the Fire Ceremony will be to feed our newly created "Ayni" Despacho to the fire. All of our prayers, wishes and desires will be trans-mutated from the physical form to the energetic form.

Description:

Please dress very casually! We will be indoors for the "Despacho Ceremony" and outdoors for the "Fire Ceremony". We suggest that you not only dress for the weather but wear items you do not mind getting dirty, just in case!

Please bring something to sit on: a Lawn Chair, Cushion, Blanket, or other item. It will definitely improve your comfort level! In the case on inclement weather we have the ability to do the Fire Ceremony indoors!!! Please, do not bring children or pets!

Space is limited!

Cost: $50 per couple ~~ $30 per Individual

Contact and confirm as soon as possible to ensure your place at this loving celebration!

March 13-14: Munay-ki: The Nine Great Rites of Enlightenment

Summary:

****************************************************
Dates: Sat, March 13th & Sun, March14th, 2010
Time: 9:30am – 4pm (both days)
Location: Generations Holistic Healing Center 250 Main Street (Rte 12), Oxford, MA
*****************************************************

These Rites of Enlightenment, know by the Q'ero Shaman of Peru, as the Munay-Ki, are the universal human rites of passage. People who are aware of the connectedness of all, and are masters of living energy. Most of these people received their level of enlightenment through spirit and the natural world. The Great Rites have always been available that way.

The Munay-Ki consists of 2 different types of Rites, Foundation Rites and Lineage Rites.

These are the Great Rites of Enlightenment, or Munay-Ki as brought through the Q'ero shaman of Peru. The seeds of these Rites can grow within anyone, all at once, creating a beautiful garden of gifts for ourselves and the world we live in. It is our honor to share these Rites with you.

The rites will cleanse your luminous energy field of psychic sludge left by past trauma, clear your chakras, and help you to acquire rainbow body. Munay-Ki connects you to Angels and to the Earthkeeper's - luminous beings who will add their power and vision to yours - as with purity of intention and an open Heart, you strive to live by ethics and vision. They connect the person to an Incan lineage of knowledge and power that cannot be accessed by the individual. It can only be summoned by a tribe.

This is an extraordinary opportunity to receive an energetic transmission connecting you directly to a healing lineage dating back thousands of years. The prophecies of the ancient Americas speak about a new human appearing on the planet – one who lives free of fear and resides in his or her transcendent nature. The Munay-Ki rites, as taught by Alberto Villoldo, PhD. and The Four Winds Society, are the codes for the new human; the nine gates that heal us and transform our human energy field into that of "homo luminous", as the next step in our evolution.

"We are the ones - we have been waiting for" Become a "Luminous One" – Come Join Us.

These Rites will be given in two full day sessions with instruction in methods and guidance. There will also be discussion of several practices including: Stepping into Sacred Space, Transformational Fire Ceremonies, Fire-Breathing and Wiracocha exercises.

Donation: $250.00 (includes instructional DVD and mediation/breathing CD,Pi stone & materials). * Registration and payment in full is required 1 week prior to the event.

March 25-28: DreamTime's Medicine Wheel Program with John English

Summary:

Join us in the beautiful pines of Arizona for a journey through the South, the first in a series of experiential workshops through the four directions of the Medicine Wheel. Experience the rites of passage in the shamanic tradition of the Q'ero peoples of the Andes.

The South direction is the path of the serpent. To embark on a path of power we must first shed our past and programming, just as the serpent sheds its skin. This is the work of the South, where we release our past - both energetically and mythically.

Description:

Benefits from completing the journey of the South:

Embody the lessons your life has taught you, while no longer having to live with the pain and suffering they have produced. Learn powerful techniques on how to practice non-attachment, non-judgment, non-suffering and beauty.

Eliminate those stubborn lifelong patterns.

The sacred rites of the Q'ero shamanic lineage will be transmitted to you. With these rites you will begin to grow the shaman's medicine body.

In the South we also begin to assemble a Mesa, or Shaman's altar, which will assist us with our transformation into our new medicine body by shedding our past.
