Bhutan
and Nepal, Lands of The Thunder Dragon: A Spiritual Journey
Our unique journey to sacred sites in
Bhutan and Nepal will take us to high mountain passes and semi-tropical river valleys, traditional Bhutanese mask-dance festivals,
ancient fortress-monastery Dzongs, a flight over the Himalayas, and the Kathmandu Valley for a four-day trek. We will explore the energy of place as we travel, creating luminous connections between our
home power spots and the mountains and rivers of the Himalayas. Participating in the great unfolding and anchoring of portals and sacred earth places
to each other, we will feed the webs of light that connect us all.
Throughout our spiritual journey, we will be attentive to our "hidden treasures,"
called terma in Buddhist tradition. Meditation, ceremony, and deep listening
will help us access the universal mind, or Gaia consciousness, that opens to experiential and visionary understanding.

Seeds for Earthkeepers: the Nine Initiations of Munay-Ki
You are invited to receive the profound energetic transmissions of Munay-Ki over the course of eight months. These rites
are gates, or portals, for becoming beings of wisdom and power who accept stewardship for all of creation.
Together we'll explore the use of intent, alchemy, and energy, along with oral wisdom teachings and healing practices
and tools for transformation, as we nurture these "seeds of homo luminous" given to us by the Q'ero/Inca people
of the Andes.
The intent of these transmissions is to help you see with heart, heal our earth, and increase your energy for reconnecting
to the web of living energy in these prophesied times of great change and opportunity.
We'll meet once a month, on the second Sunday of each month, 1-4:30 PM, from February to September 2010, growing our seeds
together, and building community and connection. Suggested donation each meeting, $45 to $60.
To learn more and determine whether these energetic transmissions and eight-month commitment are right for you, we urge
you to study the Munay-Ki website.
Munay-Ki 2008 participants say:
"Beautiful and inspiring" --CM
"Thank you for the rites coming through you, and your powerfully peaceful nature environment." --AM
The rites have given me "courage to walk in new ways in old places. Courage to find and be in new places that are
waiting to be explored. The deepening of my connection to Source, the Ancestors and our Mother the Earth." --VH

Classes are a way to shift perceptions and learn tools that you can use for your own development, healing, and "growing
your seeds" of consciousness. My role is to midwife your expanded awareness, your essence, your whole soul, and your
luminous energy body, helping you move into vibrational alignment with your highest self. I believe that our understanding
of everything is deepened and enriched with embodied, experiential learning.

Medicine for the Earth Shamanic Drumming Circle
We focus on earth and personal healing, exploring practices for transmuting both personal and environmental toxins, and
strengthening our practice of transfiguration. We work with energy and formlessness, divinity and shadow, intention and imagination,
learning how to shift our perceptions and our state of consciousness on an ongoing basis.
Prerequisites: journeying experience, and Medicine for the Earth training. We are a committed, peer group, meeting the
second Thursday of each month, 7-10 PM, in Sonoma. Free. Please contact meaphelan@yahoo.com to inquire and for directions.

Shamanic Journey Instruction
Whether you are new to journeying or exploring a shamanic practice, figuring out what questions to ask or where to go
next, I will give you personal assistance and help you get going!
* Two-hour introduction to shamanic practices. I'll guide you in experiencing two shamanic journeys to live drumming:
one to find and work with a power animal, the other to request a personal healing. I will also explain the context and background
for doing shamanic work. $150 for two-hour session in Sonoma.
* Individual consultation on your specific issues and interests. If you need help--getting your practics of journeying
going, figuring out what and where to study more, framing the questions you ask--make an appointment for a phone or in-person
session. Sliding scale $75-125/hour.
* Introduction to Shamanism class. I teach this 12-hour class once or twice a year. The small group format is great for
receiving individual assistance, asking questions, and getting to know each other. Same content as the Foundation for Shamanic
Studies (Michael Harner) classes. Please email to indicate your interest.
To arrange a consultation, call 707-939-7961.

Shamanic Apprenticeship Program: Finding Your Spirit Path
Inspire your vision and empower your whole being as you find your spirit path in these challenging times.
We work with three interrelated perspectives: Andean (Q'ero/Inca) cosmology, core shamanism, and Medicine for the Earth.
During your apprenticeship, you will experientially develop your abilities in the realms of healing, ceremony, Munay-ki, spiritual
empowerment, and alchemical transformation.
We will meet a total of 20 days, a combination of weekends in Sonoma and longer camp-outs on the sacred mountains around
the Bay Area, in 2010.
