Walking the Spiral Path ~
Self Empowerment through a Shamanic Way of Life
Walking the Spiral Path is a blend of ancient and ancestral wisdom enlivened by direct engagement with spirit. A five-gathering series of intimate residential retreats in the San Francisco Bay Area appropriate for all levels, Walking the Spiral Path offers experiential practices of the Shaman and rites for those who are committed to being a healing presence in the world.
Whether your goal is personal growth, healing and self empowerment; understanding your own divinity, learning the wisdom of the shamanic world view, joyful attainment of your dreams, or understanding your Life’s Direction, those who choose to walk this path with us will experience profound transformation and a renewed sense of purpose.
You walk the spiral path from wherever you begin – whether a beginner or an experienced practitioner of shamanism or a spiritual practitioner – always deepening your path and growth in order to reach Transcendence.
Each weekend intimate residential retreat may be taken separately. Together the Series offers a path of Awakening, Initiation and Empowerment within a safe sacred community of like-minded people.
In each weekend, we will use the lens of the Cycles of Life and Nature as a guide to the Journey on our Personal Medicine Path.

Shed old habits and worn-out ways of being and release what no longer serves you;
Access your own inner wisdom and answers;
Learn to integrate spiritual and shamanic practices and ceremony into your daily life;

The Classes:
1. Birthing New Beginnings – Spring
May 29-31, 2015
We begin to Walk the Spiral Path in the East within a Safe and Sacred Community. Honoring the Cycles of Nature, we enter the Labyrinth of Transformation in the Spring, the Time of new beginnings and the dawning of a new way to Be in the world.
Our journey starts with our Intention and Imagination to vision our path and our highest possibility. We discover and connect with our helping spirits and guides in a process that continues throughout our journey. Spending time with Nature and the land, we begin to reconnect and remember our place in Nature and with All our Relations.
We find our personal Creation story and experience the deep love from which we were created, and in ceremony we experience our Birth to this Earth Walk. We begin the Foundation initiation Rites of the Munay-Ki, energetic transmissions distilled from ancient shamanic rites from the Q’ero nation of Peru, to create new energetic architecture to grow into our new Selves. We walk the path to our personal transformation and to awaken our healing power and presence.
Follow-up Conference Call TBA July 2015
2. Growing and Blossoming – Summer
August 21-23, 2015
We continue our Journey with a turn of the wheel along The Spiral Path, Growing and Blossoming into Summer, Honoring the South. We come together to deepen Community and Grow our Potential.
With Concentration and Focus we find and clear the old stories that keep us bound to the past, identifying with our history and trapped in unhealthy patterns. Honoring what has been and finding the gifts in these experiences we unleash fuel for our journey of growth and blossoming.
Re-inventing ourselves, we shed the old worn out ways of walking in the world. We find our new power through our Spirit Animal Ally and our Power Song. We complete the Foundation initiation Rites of the Munay-Ki, energetic transmissions distilled from ancient shamanic rites from the Q’ero nation of Peru, to create new energetic architecture to grow into our new Selves.
Follow-up Conference Call TBA October 2015
3. Harvesting the Fruits – Fall
December 11-13, 2015
We continue our Journey with another turn of the wheel along the Spiral Path, Maturing into Fall, Honoring the West. We return to rekindle and harvest the gifts of Community. We honor and integrate what is in Shadow.
We come into Harmony by owning our Shadow aspects: from our lives, our ancestral lineages, our karmic legacy. We honor the shadow as a healing energy embodied in the dark of the Moon cycle. Releasing the fear of the shadow and bindings from the past, we can receive and claim the gifts from our ancestral lineage.We open to healing and reclaim and restore our power. We harmonize and connect with the power of the healed masculine and feminine, and receive the Munay-Ki energetic transmissions to bring us into harmony and Balance with both aspects.
Follow-up Conference Call TBA January 2016
4. Remembering our Soul Journey – Winter
March 11-13, 2016
We turn the wheel once more on The Spiral Path, moving into Winter, Honoring the North. This is the time of death, of Union with Source. In shamanic cultures, death is not an end but a transition. Our Community supports us in this transition. where we remember our Soul Journey beyond roles and personality.
We remember our Soul Journey beyond roles and personality. We travel beyond time and space to that which is beyond Death. We honor our ancestors who have helped us come into Being for our Soul Journey, and We remember and claim our soul’s purpose.
We take our place as stewards of the Earth, holding her from the vantage point of space as we receive the rites of the Munay-Ki to become an Earthkeeper. We enter the darkness of Earth and the Void, seeds waiting to germinate, as we release what needs to die to gather energy from the transcendent Realms.
Follow-up Conference Call TBA April 2016
5. Creating a New Dream – Transcendence
May 13-15, 2016
n the final turn of the wheel on The Spiral Path, we return to Center, coming back to things we thought we understood with Increased Knowledge, Seeing Deeper Truths. We merge with Creator energy, supported by ancient rites of the time to come, the Starkeeper and Creator initiations. Our Community becomes One Heart Radiating Light to heal ourselves and the World.
With Love, we Create a New Dream of Transcendence, a new vision for our life and for the World. We travel outside of time to meet our Descendants who help us form the new vision for the times to come leaving behind the collective nightmare. We experience and embody Light, our template of divine perfection. We learn to use this light to take our place in service to the World.
