Rites of Passage Work Creating
Sacred Space and Daily Shamanic Ceremony Practice
Training Divine power is everywhere in the universe waiting for us to draw upon. The importance of ceremony has been demonstrated by every culture and with most every religion. For many indigenous cultures ceremony is not just a journey for the self but is for all of mankind, for all people. It is a vehicle for transcending the limitations of who we think we are and the misconceptions that influence our lives. It provides an opportunity for us to break free from the ritualistic aspects of our lives and become one with the ever changing flow of the universe. Incorporating spiritual ceremony into our daily lives is essential for our own personal healing, the healing of others and for the healing of our planet. Through the practice of ceremony we absorb the energy of the spiritual world, which helps us to transcend the mental and emotional realms of the physical world. In this sacred space we become more of who we are and everything outside of the self becomes less important. It is through our authentic nature that we are able to see our world and ourselves in a new and different way. We come to realize as we transform and heal ourselves we ultimately serve in transforming and healing our planet. With each step we take forward we bring all of mankind closer to the realization of a divine state of being. This passage is a commitment that an individual makes with The Great Spirit, Mother/Father God. This commitment enables one to walk through a doorway into the deep inner realms of the self, where one comes face to face with the known and unknown aspects of themselves. Disciplining the body and concentrating the mind teaches us patience, enabling us to experience different and deeper levels within the self. With dedication inner balance is restored. We align with our true essence and we learn how to open our hearts and listen to the innate wisdom within, which enables us to move beyond all limitations. As we re-member with the divine essence at the center of our being this spiritual power begins to flow more freely through us and we become a witness to the transformation that occurs in all aspects of our human experiences. It is through giving back some of the energy that we are constantly receiving that we are gifted Rites of Passage into the higher spiritual realms. In
addition to learning how to create a sacred space, individuals will learn
some spiritual shamanic practices that will lead them through a doorway
on a sacred journey to find, develop and use their spiritual gifts. This
program is designed for those who are seriously committed and wish to
deepen their relationship and communion with the spiritual realms.
