Next Program Begins 2009
Weaving the connections between each other and all creatures, we move away from separateness and
isolation.
Finding the points of harmony and balance in ourselves,
we affect harmony in the world.
Sharing the beauty and radiance that the spirit world offers us, we illuminate the world and our own souls.
Listening to the profound silence of the interior light, we can walk the path of the shaman, the healer, and the mystic
as we change the world.
Program Focus and Intent
The Earth Caretakers shamanic apprenticeship program is dedicated to inspiring your vision and empowering your whole being
as you find your spirit path in these challenging times.
We will work with three interrelated perspectives: the Andean (Q'ero/Inca) cosmovision, core shamanism, and Medicine for
the Earth. During your apprenticeship, you will experientially develop your abilities in the realms of healing, ceremony,
spiritual empowerment, and alchemical transformation.
Participating in the apprenticeship program will give you the opportunity to:
* Find your own power, radiance, wisdom, and joy.
* Explore the luminous threads of your destiny and the seeds of your own divinity.
* Receive the nine energetic transmissions of the Munay-Ki, in the lineage of the Q'ero people of the Andes, for protection,
healing, and working with earth, mountain, stars and cosmos. These energetic seeds help us connect with the Earthkeepers of
old, and grow into our ability to become "homo luminous."
* Work with sacred sites around the San Francisco Bay to develop coherent relationships and attunement with the land,
nature spirits, and ancestors.
* Learn to see and work more fully from your heart.
* Discover the power of your intent, the healing light of love and creation, and the silence and mystery of the cosmos.
* Learn how to balance and move your energy as you find and step through the portals, or openings, into other dimensions.
* Explore healing modalities and ethical interactions with clients (our primary focus will be on light body healing; an
optional training in soul retrieval can be arranged).
Our focus will be on creating a whole, integrated way of being and seeing in the world shamanically. Once you have such
a vision, it is relatively easy to explore and integrate any additional healing techniques you are drawn to.

2009 Program, Costs, and Requirements
In past years we have met one weekend of each month, a cycle that allows space for integration and is convenient for local
people. For 2009, I am still working with spirit to see how/whether I can shift to quarterly meetings for those who travel,
so the meeting dates are not yet settled.
I can tell you that during the year we will meet a total of 20 days. That will include seven to ten days on the mountains
and sacred sites around the Bay Area, hiking, exploring, doing ceremony, and developing experiential as well as spiritual
connections. The remaining time we will meet in Sonoma, receiving the nine Munay-Ki transmissions, along with meditation and
energy practices to grow and nurture those energetic seeds. You will have reading assignments and homework throughout the
year.
Costs
Tuition is $2900.
Requirements
Strong shamanic journeying skills.
Clear intent.
Solid working relationship with your helping spirits.
Ability to observe and be self-reflective.
Commitment to the full year, being on time, and giving your all.
Questions and Refunds
I am honored by your interest. If you are unsure about whether this program is right for you, please consult your spirit helpers
and dreams; follow your intuition; talk to me! The universe and I take your commitment seriously, and we trust you do, too.
Due to the nature of the commitment required of apprentices, no refunds are offered.
Note: if you have not worked with me before, I highly recommend taking a class with me before applying!

A Note on Personal Healing
While apprentices will have personally powerful experiences during the course of the program, and will explore issues of ego,
self-doubt, shadow, and maintaining energy, it is not appropriate to seek personal healing as a primary focus within the apprenticeship
program. If your focus is on personal healing, please see a qualified shamanic practitioner or therapist.
