In this initiation weekend intensive, we embrace and honor the Waters of the Earth and our bodies. We begin to dissolve the inner dams that have acted to obstruct the flow of our emotions, creativity and power. In the process, a potentially profound relationship with the Great Water Spirit and her many manifestations in all three worlds is woven.
We will undergo powerful Middle world initiations to dissipate fear as well as release ingrained social and cultural conditioning about the value of the Waters – both internal and external. Working in a core shamanic way with ceremony and initiation, we move through anxieties and apprehensions back into trust, opening ourselves to the interconnectedness, power, and creativity of elemental Water.
Comments from past participants:
"At every turn, this initiation weekend defied my expectations. The result was getting exactly the healing I didn't know I needed. Thank you Peter, Kristine and helping spirits."
"Camping amplified the power of the weekend. I loved the fast and direct way the course dove right into the juicy material. I love the respect you both naturally demonstrate to your students and co-conspirators. I feel that "doing no harm" is actually a difficult thing to know how to do but this weekend you have done no harm. You used your whole-brainedness and deep love to create the most beautiful initiations for us to powerfully move into where we each need to be. May your/our work be amplified to heal the Earth and her Waters."
