The Four Winds Society Presents:
An Introduction to Healing the Luminous Body - $100.00
In this day long workshop, Chris Allen, of the Four Winds Society's Senior Staff, will share the Shaman's core practices of Energy Medicine. Shamans understand that we have a luminous energy field that surrounds the physical body, and which holds a record of all our emotional, physical, and spiritual traumas; the luminous energy field is a blueprint that determines how we will heal, how we will live and how we might die. The work of a shaman is to bring balance to the luminous energy field.
Topics for Discussion will include:
The illumination process to clear imprints in the energy field before they have a chance to express as disease in the body
A process for extracting toxic energies that have embedded themselves in the luminous energy field
Soul retrieval work to revisit past traumatic events and recover the essential self
Rites of passage including life and death rites
This is a rare opportunity to learn the techniques brought back from one of the foremost teachers of Shamanism in North America. Dr. Villoldo has studied and practiced the shamanic traditions of the Andes and Amazon for more than 25 years, researching and translating ancient healing modalities to make them practical, scientific and contemporary.

The Four Winds Society is dedicated to the bridging of ancient shamanic tradition with modern medicine and psychology; and teaches a body of shamanic knowledge that is readily accessible to the West and provides a scientific framework through which it is possible to learn the ancient healing practices that can be "known but not told."
Every First Saturday of the Month:
Breathing and Shamanic Journeying:
A deep and powerful way to access your higher self. Many Native American traditions use journeying to the Dream Lodge and conversations with power animals as a way to access the parts of ourselves we cannot quite reach in our waking states. A journey is a guided meditation to a sacred or enchanted world. This Dream Lodge, as it is traditionally called, is the equivalent of our unconscious mind. It holds many dark mysteries that come to us only while we sleep, in symbolic form. In many indigenous cultures animals symbolize different qualities and perspectives found within the each of us. As we enter the Dream Lodge we invite animal archetypes or Power Animals to share their perceptual powers with us to illuminate the unconscious parts of our true selves that we cant see. Great self realization and healing comes from speaking with and owning our whole selves, consciously.
The class begins with a review of the chakra system followed by a series of breathing exercises (see Pranayama class for more detail) to help the practitioner transition into a light trance state. From there we collectively choose a Power Animal to visit on the journey. While the journey is collective the information you will receive is specific to you. The class ends with chakra rebalancing and a voluntary discussion of the journey. It is a gentle introduction to the power of shamanic healing, a great way to part the veils of illusion, and an intimate way of bonding with your spiritual community.Please RSVP by email by Friday PM as the class requires a 4 person minimum to be held.
Facilitated by Chris Allen.
