Shaman’s Flame Workshop Series
Opening the Shamanic Door to Cultural Healing
The media likes to focus on the “culture wars” and so many conflicts and inter-relational altercations. Unfortunately, cultural conflicts can also lead to physical wars. Using powerful shamanic tools, we will investigate how to begin the work of transforming human culture in compassionate ways. In this process, we must be willing to undergo self-reflection to discover cultural pathologies within us, from the personal to the collective.
A special helping spirit will enable us to find the gift within us that brings our awareness of culture’s impact on us, and our participation in it, to the surface. With that awareness, we begin a great collaboration to collectively travel the bridges of compassion with the intent to alter the powerful force of human culture in a step-by-step manner. We will use shamanic divination to see the potential effects of the healing that we undertake in careful, thoughtful ways.
Selected comments from past participants:
This changed me. This is the 2nd time I took this workshop, and I began to cry when I realized how much healing I had from the 1st time.
Probably the most concrete and practical workshop I’ve done with you.
Thank you Peter! I will be working and living with this into the future. I did not expect to find optimism about culture, but I did. I was aware that we might jump into challenging cultural work right away, but the care of preparations in the first day was essential, as was the continuity of techniques.
I loved that this workshop was so powerful yet gentle. It gently eased me into an area that I thought I didn’t want to go to as it was “too big,” too immense. It was exhausting in a good way as it was a lot of good and intense work. And on a personal level, it was good to be back.
This is the second time I have attended this training and it was totally new and fresh. I would not hesitate to attend a third time, and suspect even a fourth, fifth, and sixth.
After being way too tucked into a cave lately, this workshop called me out, and I am grateful for the intention, the perspective of culture, the community, and the good, inspired, gifted teaching.
The substance, creativity, organization and your compassionate delivery were off the charts. A model itself of compassionate cultural healing.
I feel hopeful that this is a way to feel empowered and walk on the path of change. Thank you!
Can’t wait to see (experience!) what comes next! Thank you for all the creativity and work that has led to this new and hopeful thing!
This workshop stimulated my mind in new ways.
This workshop was intriguing, insightful and healing, not only at a worldwide cultural level, but brought clarity to one’s own personal life experience in ordinary reality. The discussions after each journey were nuggets of gold that allowed me to see many perspectives, as well as, the effects of culture on the personal lives of others. The journeys were well developed and organized which allowed for the weekend to come to a thoughtful and satisfying conclusion.
The material that was covered was deep and expansive. The explanation and examples given before each journey were very helpful.
I can see clearly now how journeying can be used to create social and environmental change. I think we are off to a great start. So much is possible with attention and intention.
