With great Sadness
that Alaya: The Shaman Store, is closing its doors,
I wish to thank Sumitra Rosella and all her staff for their service to
our spiritual and worldly communities. We will miss that place of gathering
and light. As a result, participants in the Shaman's Way 2005 apprenticeship
will gather in my Sacred Space in Oakland, a 5-minute walk from BART and
easy access by freeway. Please call 510-593-6803 or email spirit@barbarasnow.com
to reserve your place and get directions.
Sacred Hoop will meet the 3rd Tuesday of each month from
7:30 to 9:30pm and will enjoy Pilgrimages to beautiful natural sites and
Sacred Fires the Sunday afternoon nearest the full moon.
The Shaman's Way will provide the spiritual context and
tools in which to re-examine your life and claim whatever will nourish
your health and growth and fulfill your most cherished dreams. In the
safe intimacy of Sacred Hoop you can release fear and receive support
and guidance to become fully the strong, loving reflection of the Divine
that you have always been. The next Sacred Hoop will be held February
15th, at which I will report on the ayllu gathering at Camp Oliver the
weekend of February 11-13th.
The Real Work
It may be that when
we no longer know what to do,
we have come to our real work, and that
when we no longer know which way to go,
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.
~ Wendell Berry ~
You are cordially invited to participate
in
The Shaman’s Way, 2005
A journey to greater fulfillment during
which you gently and lovingly release what has held you back and bring
forth those parts of yourself that will radiate your full essence and
power. The tools available include the following:
• The Pachakuti Mesa:
A personal healing altar that visually and viscerally anchors your imaginative
potential into ordinary reality. Through your Mesa you invoke your Highest
Good in collaboration with your intuitive knowing of Who You Are. Working
with your Mesa, you influence circumstances for the health and well-being
of all.
• Sacred Hoop:
A Community of people intending to live more fully, gracefully and joyfully.
Shared experiences of the supportive realities of the unseen world and
progressive healing within Circle confirm and broaden our perceptions
and support our soul’s growth.
• Pilgrimages and Sacred Fires:
Day trips to natural settings in our region will deepen our understanding
of our relationship with Nature: how small events teach us and how we
feed earth with sacred offerings. Songs, stories and Ceremonies around
Sacred Fire – besides being great fun – change our state
of mind powerfully and positively.
The Apprenticeship will include one night per month – the 3rd Tuesday
– and one Sunday afternoon near the full moon. Each event is $25.
Carpools will be available for outings. Please contact Barbara
Snow if you have interest or questions. 510-593-6803. spirit@barbarasnow.com.
