Jill Purce - Healing Voice - Week Intensive

We will learn and develop the ancient shamanic practice of overtone chanting, vocal purification practices, transformative breathing, vocal yogas, sonorous meditations, sacred chants, mantras, and sonic practices to transform family curses into their corresponding blessings and heal the ancestral lines. Later we will be working with, and becoming the mandala, or structure of consciousness of the supreme alchemical balance of male and female- the union of these two is the ultimate spiritual path, sought after in different ways within all traditions.

The MANDALA OF GREEN TARA. All Jill’s mandala retreats combine and contain continuous chant, spiritual practice with deep psychological work. In this one Jill will be teaching the practice of Green Tara and using chant to ease blockages to achievements in work, life, emotional and physical health , to bring about order and flow in our lives, to liberate us from afflictive emotions making us depressed, unhappy and frustrated, leading us to ecstasy, joy and freedom to achieving emptiness and clarity - or the essential state of reality.

Jill Purce - Week Intensive - Healing the Family & Ancestors and Resonance

Transforming destructive inherited patterns into blessings for ourselves, family members and descendents. Jill has developed a unique approach to healing the resonant field of the family with ceremonial shamanic healing rites using chant and family constellations. She works with each person’s birth or current family individually, resolving recurring patterns and hurts in magical and oracular ways. This intensely healing process uncovers and restores those aspects of the psyche normally closed to therapeutic methods. The intensive includes healing ancestral lines, exorcising family curses, unacknowledged deaths, redundant themes and patterns, and other ancient hurts. We uncover the particular blessings and gifts we receive from our ancestors. Family members do not need to be living. Individuals and families invited.

Seidr - working with Vision, Power and Land
Group Leader: Annette Høst

On this course in shamanism, we will explore one of the practises from ancestors living in this land, Seidr. We will explore the power of the main tools of the seiðr craft, the staff and the song, and we will practise seiðr together as a community ritual as well as in pairs and alone.

The mystical core of seiðr is inseparable from wild nature and a key part of our work will be connecting our practice with the power of the land, allowing our seidr to take root in our own landscape and time.

One of the greatest gifts the ancient seiðr tradition has to offer practitioners of today is a skillful way of dealing with power, expressed in the Norse term ergi, with hints of parallels to tantra. Seiðr can profoundly inspire our shamanic work, we become freer to choose the right ritual tool for the right task, and we deepen our experience of the power of earth.

To participate you must have clear contact with your spirithelpers and/or teachers and know how to journey. Seiðr work is for both men and women. You can read more in THE STAFF AND THE SONG.

Sangye Menlha plus Tibetan Elements, Tibetan Chakras and Pulses
Medicine Buddha teachings with Geshe Chongtul Rinpoche

Connection with Sangye Menlha through meditation, mantra recitation, and visualizations activates the practitioner’s innate healing abilities.
