NOVEMBER 1st - 2nd -- WISDOM KEEPER'S SCHOOL

The fourth session of the 2008 Wisdom Keeper's School will be held at Aio Wira on November 1-2. This intake of the School is fully subscribed, but we are now taking bookings for the 2009 School which will begin early next year.
The Wisdomkeepers School offers a yearlong training, over six weekends, in the ways of the shaman. Each of the six parts of the training will include presentations, meditations, journeying, experiential exercises, ceremony, transmissions, and personal healing work.
You will develop your awareness of your "body of light" and your relationship with the forces of nature. You will experience the shaman's ways of seeing, and you will practice and use shamanic trance states for healing and divination.
You will track the ancient pathways to living consciously and you will remember that we are the dream makers, dreaming the world into being and co-creating the future we want our children's children to inherit.
You will be initiated into the ancient ways of the earth's practical mystics, focusing on the medicine teachings of the Americas, north and south. You will learn experientially to be in balance and to walk in beauty; to fly faster to your life's purpose.
You will practice in community, for community, to become Earth keepers and Wisdom keepers, now and in the time to come.
