Filling Up the Calendar...
I posted the following to my mailing list yesterday and wanted to share with you what I'm doing. My apologies for the length. I couldn't figure out how to do the textcut thingy...

A Year-Long Course in Shamanism
For Personal, Communal and Planetary Healing
2009
We will explore Shamanism as a healing modality and our personal and communal commitment to bring the Healing Charism into our planet in these times of great change and evolving growth. This program is open to those who are serious about their desire to be a healing influence in the world today. Classes are on a Saturday and Sunday, bi-monthly, and are being formed in the following areas:
Kingman AZ
Flagstaff, AZ
Phoenix, AZ
Las Vegas NV
Los Angeles, CA
1. The Basics of Shamanic Practice
This class begins the year-long exploration of Shamanism, and teaches basic journeying techniques, This session is required for all participants of the Year Long Program. The purpose of this class is to ensure that all participants are "on the same page", as well as to begin to build the team that will be exploring shamanic healing over the year. Participants will learn and enhance their basic journeying skills as well as meet their power animals and guides.
2. Working with Spirit
Participants will gain a deeper awareness of the role of their guides, teachers and power animals. We will meet the guides that will help us in the Work, and learn how to receive their guidance. We will explore healing of self and others, and become grounded in the ethics and understanding of shamanic work. Journeying to the Upper, Middle, and Lower worlds will be explored in depth and the participant will learn how to remain safe when journeying to and through these realms.
3. The Heart of the Shaman
Participants will explore the concept of compassion and how this relates to shamanic practice. This class will prepare the participant to further their understanding of healing with spiritual light
4. Soul Retrieval
Participants will gain an understanding of the shamanic concept of soul loss and soul retrieval. We will explore the technique of soul retrieval and learn how to apply this to our healing practices. Participants will also learn the technique of Soul Remembrance, and how to apply this to the Soul Retrieval follow-up work.
5. The Inter-Relatedness of Healing
Based on the work of Sandra Ingerman, and her book Medicine for the Earth, we will explore the process of transmuting toxins and transfiguration as a healing practice, deepening our awareness of ourselves as healing Light.
6. Shamanic Retreat
This three-day retreat will offer participants the opportunity to be in nature as we explore our relationship with the elements.
7. Passages
This class explores the process of death and dying from a shamanic perspective. Participants will have the opportunity to view the dying process through journeying and gain an understanding of the process of crossing over. We will also begin to learn how to assist those who are in the process of dying and those who have already passed.
8. Transfigurative Healing
Participants will continue to explore the basics of transfiguration as a healing modality. The focus is on learning whom we truly are and using that knowledge and awareness in our daily practice to be a healing presence.
9. The Journey Within
In this class, we will explore the realm of interiority. Participants will have the opportunity to "go within" through journey and exploration. This class builds on the experiences and learning gained and brings the practitioner to a deeper awareness of the giftedness and sacredness of his or her True Self. Aspects of Franciscan Shamanism will be included with the focus on "doing the inner work"
10. Healing Toxic Thoughts
We will explore the energy of thoughts and how that energy affects the environment around us. Based on "How To Heal Toxic Thoughts" by Sandra Ingerman, participants will gain an understanding of how, as shamanic practitioners, we are moved to regard the patterns of thought we use and are used to.
11. Coming Together
In this last class of the series, we will explore the past year and deepen the growth and awakening we have experienced. Through ceremony and ritual, we will honor and celebrate ourselves as the shamanic healers we have become.
Specific dates and locations will be posted as those details get worked out. The classes will be held bi-monthly, on a Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 - 4::30.
Thanks you for your interest.

What folks say about Karen's teaching...
"There was much to take in during that experience together, and you left an indelible impression in me. I hope I have opportunity to directly share time and space with you again."
"I just wanted to share with you my (our) thanks and appreciation for teaching the extraction technique for unhelpful thought forms that you shared with us. Your teaching is spreading with great effectiveness. Isn't it just so awesome how spirit works?"
"Your background and experience of life so prepared you for this work. I love your thought and message - stressing the importance of what we allow ourselves to become. I'm excited that you are doing this work."
"The work we did in your workshop was so healing and enlightening. I felt so nurtured by your presence and welcoming. You have a way of teaching that engages everyone where they are in their spirituality. Thank you for your work."
Be the Light!
