Adventures on the Spiral Path
Dear Ones,
We are about to begin our twelfth year of offering the Shamanic Healing Initiatory Process (SHIP). SHIP is an intensive process devoted to helping participants understand the story of their lives. SHIP includes five weekend-long initiations which include: Cycles of Change, Family of Origin, Shadow, Inner Beloved, and Sacred Purpose. They are offered every other month, and you can attend one or all of them. They each stand on their own.
Through this deep exploration, we each recover parts of ourselves that we deemed unworthy, shameful, too much, or not enough. We grow and evolve, finding courage, strength, and purpose to be more fully ourselves. We BECOME!
This process is not psychotherapy and is not training to be a Shaman. It is, however, a powerful body of work to support healing and transformation in your life. It supports us in accessing our inner wisdom, the “Shaman within”.
Hundreds of folks have come through our SHIP program whose lives have benefited tremendously. They are much more confident and secure with themselves, leaving behind old stories and beliefs that were just not true. Their relationships have grown stronger and healthier.
Through this process, we understand that we continue to grow and evolve on a Spiral Path. This means that we are all working on growing up over and over again but at a higher octave of understanding each time. We repeatedly meet the same issues but understand them at a deeper level.
I am soon to deepen my work both personally and as a facilitator. My spiral path is taking me to Lisbon, Portugal for an International Family Constellations Intensive. It is something I have been very interested in over the years and is a wonderful complement to the work we do through Aahara. Family Constellations is an approach that reckons with the profound impact our families have on how we function and how this impacts our relationships with others.
On the Spiral Path, we are continuously dying metaphorically and being reborn, deepening our understanding of our lives and how everything and everyone is intricately connected through an energy field of complexity. We are both an independent system and a cog in the wheel of humanity, interdependent!
Hope to see you all soon!
Carley and John
