The Way of the Mystic Wizard: An Introduction to a Non Dual Shamanic Spiritual Practice and the Immortal Light Body
This workshop is an introduction to a path and method for developing a sustainable daily nondual-shamanic practice that helps build a container for powerful spiritual growth and transformation. This workshop is experiential and will involve a journey to the inner world and direct contact with the spirits that support this path and well as direct mystical transmission of the unconditioned state. It will also introduce the immortal light body practices that assist in maintaining spiritual strength and in accessing the non-dual presence. A daily light body practice changes the composition of one’s nervous system, perspective, and capacity for love, courage, and action.
Participants will be guided through an inner world journey and through the practice of awakening the light body. Working in two groups we will explore the lightbody, introducing these playful energies and the possibilities of awakening within this practice for self transformation
