An opportunity to work with a master. Join us in this experiential, hands-on program to unfold our dormant healer within!
Soul loss occurs as a result of intense trauma and pain. Disassociation, separation, and the fragmentation of the psyche act as defense mechanisms to avoid deep suffering. During times of chaos or transition, our essential energy may splinter off, leaving us in a state of emotional turmoil and desolation.
Shamans believe that the soul breaks away from wholeness to seek refuge in safer domains, numbing itself to avoid the intensity of a painful event or memory. This loss can happen through a single major event or cumulatively over time. Without healing, this fragmentation causes one's vitality to leak and may eventually affect the body’s ability to remember its healed state.
Common symptoms of soul loss include:
- Feeling disconnected from your body or experiencing numbness
- A fragile immune system
- Chronic depression, melancholy, or grief
- Memory gaps or blackouts
- Addictions or a need to fill an internal void
- Physical illness or a sense of weakness
Soul retrieval is an ancient practice and a journey of discovery that reassembles these fractured pieces, bringing the soul back to where it rightfully belongs. As the individual heals, the veils of pain and resistance fade, awakening dormant vitality, passion, and clarity. The shaman acts as a catalyst and mediator, journeying into the unconscious to lure these disowned parts back home.
Please join us for this hands-on training seminar. You will learn different soul retrieval approaches, including tracking, assessment, and the cosmic vision of the soul's journey, alongside various rituals and healing techniques. Prerequisite: Participants should be a mesa carrier or have begun their training with a mesa.
