Turning the Wheel Shamanic Practitioner Summer Gathering

Navigating Through the Chaos of Our Time

We are at a time of uncertainty in the world and therefore also within ourselves. Rates of anxiety
and depression are at an all-time high, the climate is suffering and we are feeling it daily. We feel the impact of the world around us as we are living through the greatest transformation in the history of human civilization—the kind that will forever alter who we are, not just as individuals but as a species. This is not a passive transformation. We don’t get to sit idle and watch the world transform around us, in fact we are ‘being transformed’ as part of the greater whole and we are called by the Universe to become active agents of change in our collective transformation.

Let us gather as a shamanic community to explore the potency of these times, harness our inner powers and contribute to collectively co-creating a more magnificent future, not as individuals but as a whole.

Drawing on a rich variety of shamanic practices we will explore and work with the following main themes:

The Age of Energy

We will explore in detail when and how we entered the Age of Energy/the Age of Consciousness and the necessary rewiring that has to take place from five sensory to multisensory perception, our place as ‘soul travellers’ within it and how we can thrive with multisensory perception within the growing chaos in the world.

The Mystical Truths

The Mystical Truths are expressions of the Divine that govern this universe ‘out there’ and within
us. They are the driving forces that keep the orbits operating inside us and out there, they keep
the energetic, the physical and the divine within us operating. We will enter into deep communion with some of these Truths in order to gain deeper understanding and insight of this era, the transformation we are going through as a species and how they influence our individual lives.

The Tribal Archetype

We are more divided in the world politically and ideologically than ever before. War rages,
oppression thrives, and suffering continues leaving millions of people disconnected, powerless
and in despair. The collective tribal Archetype still runs on a five sensory survival psychology
through which we as a global community continue to make shadow based choices. We will focus on what the tribal consciousness needs to transform into and how we as individuals can contribute to this process.

The Wheel of Transformation

Multidimensional Healing Circles in the Cosmic Map
Based on the classic healing circle format, in this extended version we will channel and commune with greater powers such as the Mystical Truths, the Governing Principals of Nature and both Shadow and Destiny Archetypes and how they influence our collective human consciousness and the consciousness of Mother Earth.

The Journey into Joy as a Spiritual Practice

Joy is a crucial ingredient to thrive within the challenges of our time. It acts as a ‘balancer’ when
we need to cope with anxieties and stress both in the outside world and within our own lives. Not only is joy a natural birth right, it is also our responsibility to seek it and bring it into the world. We will explore how joy is fundamentally different from happiness and how it is accessible to anyone regardless of trauma history or any challenges we may find ourselves in.

The Bigger Questions we need to ask Ourselves in this Age

Part of this great transformation is that we need to gradually let go of ourselves and get into our
impersonal, immortal selves. Part of this extraordinary journey is asking questions from that
perspective. The questions that are worth asking are huge, but the light that comes in when we get it is the light that transforms. We will drop into deep self-enquiry on questions to be brought
forward to the Powers of the Universe that take us into higher altitudes and into new perspectives that are otherwise out of reach when our questions remain ‘too small’.
