This training satisfies the prerequisites for many of The Hollow Bone workshops Shamanic Curse and Thoughtform Unraveling Throughout history, shamans have worked with healing the effects of sorcery and curses. This is as much a part of our modern culture as it was a part of ancient times. Sorcery often affects us in the form of a curse. Sorcery is defined as any harm directed to ourselves or others: The abuse of power even with good intentions. Curses often present as repeating unhealthy patterns like: Compulsive thoughts, a feeling of being under attack, chronic accidents, injuries, illness or other types of repeating “bad luck”. Some of these patterns can be rooted in past-life events or are passed down through the family lineage. Others are self-sorcery--curses that are negative thought forms which we fuel and perpetuate on ourselves. This training will introduce students to the concept of curse and thoughtform unraveling and then go deeper into this multifaceted topic. In addition, the class will explore the concepts of space clearing and psychopomp. Examples of what will be covered:

Weather Dancing 2012: A Spiritual Path of Personal Growth and Global Healing Nan Moss and David Corbin, Dodgeville, WI *Level II: Weather in the Middle World - May 25-27 *Level III: The Healing Heart of Weather - May 27-30
Level I: WEATHER SHAMANISM, is about the shaman’s long-held, respected task of looking after relations between the human community and the beings and spirits of Nature. As a practice of spiritual ecology, weather shamanism is for those who care about the viability of our planet and who sincerely wish to work on behalf of restoration and well-being for our present times – as well as for a world our descendants will thank us for. At the heart of weather shamanism is WEATHER DANCING – the essence of the spiritual relationship, its practice, and ethics. Weather Dancing is also about the metaphor of the Rainmaker – of personal growth and spiritual evolution – whereby bringing on rain is secondary to the path of becoming fully human – of stepping into our potential as True Human Beings. Level II: Weather in the Middle World, we focus on deepening our spiritual understanding of the Middle World and our relationship with the spirits of weather. We begin to explore the connection between spirit and form, and where we fit into that dance. For this we need to know more about ourselves, and our potential. In Level II we approach weather shamanism with a high degree of awareness. This awareness, and the respect that it embodies, is essential for relating with the Middle World spirits and powers. Level III: The Healing Heart of Weather, is a powerful deepening of practices of attention, discovery and experience of the hidden nature of reality and creation, healing for self and others, our personal process in becoming fully human, awareness of our hidden motivations, the wild within and without, tools, ceremony, and more! When shamanic practitioners of today are willing to show up – to engage with compassionate spiritual powers of all the worlds – miracles can and do happen. Even as we work to accomplish the mending that is sorely needed we also do our part to restore, create, and uphold Beauty on Earth.
Nan Moss and David Corbin are authors of Weather Shamanism: Harmonizing Our Connection with the Elements (Inner Traditions/Bear & Co.) and CloudDancing: Wisdom from the Sky, a divinatory card deck and guidebook. Experienced teachers of core shamanism, they have taught basic and advanced workshops for the Foundation for Shamanic Studies since 1995, and Weather Shamanism Workshops since 1999.

Mediumship of the Middleworld - Ancestors & Spirits of the Dead- ~Bringing the Skeletons and Saints out of the Closet~ Betsy Bergstrom: Aug. 28 to Sept. 2, 2012. Dodgeville, WI
Join Betsy Bergstrom in this 5-day workshop exploring the voices of the Ancestors through shamanic mediumship and ceremony. Learn basic mediumship skills while giving voice to Ancestral spirits of the blood family's lineage. Through this powerful connection, learn of the legacies held generationally, both positive and not, that are currently being carried. Learn to hold counsel with the Ancestors, forging clear paths and guidelines, allowing ourselves to become liberated from outmoded templates and embodying the gifts of our ancestral lines. As we shift the dynamic of our role in regards to our ancestors, we free ourselves from ancestral imperatives and impulses that are not in accordance with our own lives, freeing ourselves and our loved ones from unfinished family business. In learning to speak with those recently departed and those whose passing happened long ago, we can receive messages of assurance, cries for help, and transcendent wisdom. We can offer our compassionate ear and loving voice to bring balance and harmony in ways that bring generational healing to our families and ourselves, thus bringing healing to the Middleworld of our times. Explore the lineage of our soul families, becoming clear about our purpose for embodying in this lifetime. In connecting with that soul lineage, we learn to replenish ourselves with the wisdom and nourishment that speaks to who we truly are. By joining counsel with our Ancestors, we walk a path of beauty that transcends time itself. This training begins with the basics of how mediumship works, including grounding, control, protection and advanced channeling skills. We identify our own spiritual gifts and abilities such as empathy, clairvoyance, claircognizance, clairsentience and clairaudience and learn how to live comfortably and safely with these gifts Once this foundation is laid we will apply these gifts to communications with ancestors, beings in the spirit world and those who have crossed over.
