Natural Mystic: Your Heroic Journey For A Whole, Ecstatic Life 

Soulful Living, Shamanic Self-Discovery & Soul-Centered Mentoring

 

"The best instructors realise that they can only point the way; the learner must do the rest. Most learners can, or, perhaps, even must, read about the Mystery schools of modern and ancient times, study Zen, Buddhism, Taoism, shamanism and the martial arts... (yet)... Only when we are at the end of the line, are some of us, some of the time, ready to open up and ride the horse backwards" (Arnold and Amy Mindell). 

We provide five successive programs for the heroic life journey of the Self. These are creative rather than academic, with supportive personal mentoring. Completion of the first three leads to a Certificate of Soulful Living. On completion of all five an Advanced Certificate of Shamanic Self-Discovery is awarded, leading into the rest of the Diploma of Soul-Centered Mentoring.  

 

Living Soul: The Call (our first program, one module) is a personal discovery path in becoming more soulful - most naturally alive, living with Self-care, Self-worth and Self-love in your truth, joy and integrity. Shadow to Light: The Quest (two modules) is a heroic quest into and back from 'the fruitful darkness' of the less conscious and less lived aspects (shadow) of Self. You return with inner treasure by relating with the inner hero / heroine, warrior, shaman, lover (four core patterns or archetypes). In Sacred Nature: The Threshold (two modules) you create threshold places, actions and experiences for soulful connection in your new world. At thresholds you become more aware of 'the dreaming' - a meeting place of body, soul, nature and spirit where your sacred nature is more fully lived. (This completes the Certificate of Soulful Living).

 

In Shaman's Path: The Crossing (three modules) the shaman is an artisan, magician or priestess of energy and non-ordinary states of consciousness. Shaman's Path explores and helps enable you to experience some ways of being this natural mystic. As a threshold crossing it can lead to an 'acquisition of soul power' activating the shamanic archetype within your Self.  Pulse of Creation: The Return (two modules), explores your soul's ecstatic retrieval into living your bliss with greater access to the 'life force' pulse of creation! This embodying of Spirit also integrates the archetype of World Server - living as a 'builder of the dawn' and 'rainbow bridge' in the new consciousness. (This completes the Advanced Certificate of Shamanic Self-Discovery).

The Diploma of Soul-Centered Mentoring includes these five programs (i.e. ten modules), with course work (3 modules), an individual learning program (3 modules) and a practicum with mentoring (4 modules).

 

"If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track, which has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living." (Joseph Campbell)
