Current Training's Dates:** 2009-2010 Two-Year Intensive Training To begin this Intensive Training is to commit to complete it.
Indigenous African Spirit Technologies Training:
In June, 2009, this five-part program is grounded in a radical exploration of the elements of cosmology, Fire, Water, Earth, Nature, and Mineral. We will enrich our working relationships with these elements in order to anchor ourselves more fully in this world and to be of greater service to all living beings. We will create, experience, and learn to provide for others ritual involving each element and its healing properties thus fostering healing for ourselves, others, and our communities.
In September, 2009 through the ritual of Ancestralization we will manifest a response to our own desire for a deeper understanding of and more intimate daily interaction with the Ancestors. Although they have left the visible earth plane they still carry the responsibility to monitor our growth from the Spirit world as we fullfill our duties in this world.
In our gatherings in April 2010, we will learn the basic skills of Cowry Shell Divination in the style designed for individuals in the western world. Each participant will create their own divination kit and begin to discern the messages being sent from the spirit world through their interaction with the shells, stones, bones and other symbolic objects in their kit.
During June, 2010, we will explore the art and science of Talisman-making and the practical applications of these ancient representations of hidden power and protection. We will learn to apply these creative skills in our work with others who seek deeper meaning in their lives and a stronger connection to the spirit world.
