WOMEN'S SHAMANIC SCHOOL GUARDIANS OF THE EARTH




The objective of this school is to prepare women to hold sacred places and altars in Mother Earth and that would be able to create and sustain their own women's circles in their communities.
We will honor the feminine myths of the Earth and Her rituals that are the sacred universal stories of all women. We will work in circle and in that circle the women will be able to knit the networks between the worlds.

"The shamanic power is to be able to walk between two worlds and it brings harmony to whom it practices and to the ones around that person. For that, one needs to learn the secrets with all your Being, with all the senses." Miranda Grey

The participants will create a sacred space where they will find their own fountian of creative forces, they will learn to feel and invoque their internal Guides for their magical work.
They will be able to appreciate the changes of cycles of the cosmo and how the moon and the seasons flow rhythmically in our bodies and souls. When we experiment the sense of connection with the rest of the Universe, the ghost of "separation" disolves. We understand that we are part of a Whole much bigger that loves us and takes care of us.
The school is a commitment of 4 years,coming together once a year for 10 days and then having support through the internet.
The 10 days are divided in two parts, the first part is what we are calling the lunar sowing where each year we will deepen the understanding and connection with the lunar cycle and all Her meanings. We start the first year with the new moon and so on learning about Her different aspects that are our same aspects.
This first part is a personal retreat in Nature, in silence, in deep comunion with Mother Earth. We start and end the experience with a sweat lodge and with sacred plant medicines. This will take place in a sanctuary at the foothills of the Andes and supervised by 2 shaman women, Elisa, and myself.
The second part, we will start in San Alfonso, Luzclara's village, also at the foothills of the Andes. Then we ride up the Andes for 4 days to our camp where we will do our ceremonis of passage, with the elements and will receive the teachings:
temazcal, cleansing with feathers, the rite of the Sahumerio (cleansing with herbs and smoke), teachings of the Mapuche tradition (from the South of Chile), Machit'un, (commnunity healing in circles of drumming and dancing), mysteries of the blood initiation, healing with the kultrun (feminine drum of the Machis, the shamans of the Mapuche people), initiation rites, Soundtherapy and its applications.
Going back to your homes you need to write a diary with your experiences, what you have discovered, your insights, how did you increase the trust in yourself as medicine woman, what did you change in your lives, how are you relating to the Earth, how are your Lunar processes, etc.
We will also suggest some books and material you can read.
The cost for the 10 days all included except airfare and tips is U$2.600 or €2.000
If you are interested please contact Luzclara at luzclara777@yahoo.com
With much love and enthusiasm
