THE NEXT SHAMANIC PRACTITIONER TRAINING SESSIONS WILL BE IN THE FALL OF 2009. INTERESTED? CONTACT QUYNN

“Greatest Teacher” Shamanic Practitioner Trainings
The Living World is our Greatest Teacher!
Quynn hosts this experience.


This is a powerful time in our human story, join in the shamanic renaissance!

 Each four month program is designed for those serious about training their inner shamanic/healing practitioner to work in these important times. Two different sessions will be offered, each covering different areas of shamanizing.

These sessions are open to those on a healing path, and are ready to take the next step to be of service. You do not have to have worked with Quynn in the past to participate, but if you are interested in diving more deeply into your shamanic healing practice with Quynn as your guide, feel free to join either or both of these circles. Either session will form-fit to what each person needs at this point in their path, even if they have participated in a previous training with Quynn or another practitioner.

“Thank you for creating the space for me/us to PRACTICE..... I know that I wouldn't be practicing on people without your encouragement and you having this class.” 
Julianne Montano, MPH, CCT, CYT

Session One is designed for those who feel called to the shamanic healing path, yet have not yet worked with others, and those who have some experience working with others, yet are ready for more experience face to face with ‘clients’ to hone their gifts (or to try out some new ones). This series of four meetings will assist each participant in honing their abilities in working with others. Becoming a Shamanic Practitioner is about Practice, Practice, Practice, so each meeting will create an opportunity to offer and receive individual and group consultations and healing circles.  Quynn will offer guidance from her 10+ years of experience working with others in individual sessions, group workshops and intuitive “readings”.

*Utilize your various healing gifts

Understand:

You will:
*Participate in an opening and closing circle to set and review intention and progress
*Explore your inner world and ask your dream teachers for assistance, using the shamanic journey and trance

SESSION TWO- “CIRCLE OF HEALERS”
See who was in this season’s “Circle of Healers”!

meets two Friday evenings a month for 2 hours.
Dates are: 8 Sessions:  December 19, January 2, 16, 30, February 13, 27, March 13 and 27        6:30-8:30pm   

This nighttime series will focus on sharing, self-reflection, ritual and trance in a bi-weekly gathering. This circle is an opportunity to utilize group energy of like-minded individuals for personal growth and support as each is expanding their offerings . The world needs spiritual/energetic and shamanic practitioners who are ready to “go deeper”. Now is the time!

“A Circle of Healers” is for those practitioners who are working with clients (meaning: you meet with people other than your family for sessions, readings, consultations, workshops for “free”, “donation” or a “fee”) and are ready for a deepening in your abilities, your personal connection to inner guidance, and new knowledge on how you work in the world. This circle is designed for healing practitioners of all modalities. Expand your abilities, realign or enhance your offerings, and take them the next step with others in the same position. 
This session is also open to those who have participated in some form of Shamanic Training (with Quynn or with another physical/spiritual mentor) and are ready to deepen and expand their personal connection to their guides and abilities.
This session’s intent is that each participant sets short, medium and long term intentions and goals, and they see tangible benefits for the season in which we meet (Winter Solstice to Spring Equinox).  

Cost:  Spirit Guided Donation-
(Spirit Guided Donation means that you ask within about what you should offer, and you offer that amount.)


Thank you for the push from shore, the wind in the tattered sails, the throb of pure hope that keeps this clear, strong intention constantly buoying itself up to the surface of my life. It is good to have Shamana Strong at my side, in my tribe, mentor, wise woman, kindred heart.” K in Tucson

                       The following is a description of a journey by Patricia
                           in a past journeying circle.

The Journey.
“There was no prelude. I was instantly in the middle of a fire.. I WAS the fire.
It was as if I was transformed into my elemental nature.
I was a beacon fire on a small island in the middle of a huge lake, surrounded by a lush forest. A fire spirit who loves water... Go figure.
As I danced, like fire does, a voice was talking to me about who and what I am.
People have been trying to contain me or put me out all my life. I've always been interested in unusual things and love to explore, in body, mind and spirit.
I was told that this threatens a lot of people. It challenges the status quo and shines light on things that some want kept in the dark. This is considered dangerous by more people than we'd like to think.
This was a revelation. All the name calling, dirty looks and outright abuse I took and still put up with today makes sense... sort of.
Why do people fear change? Change is good and necessary for growth.
The water in the lake began to slowly swirl around my island.
The voice told me that for all the people I repulsed and frightened, there were some that saw the beacon fire. Some, who were already tending their own fires, acknowledged it and exchanged spiritual fuel. Some took sparks and made their own.
As this was being said, small lights were coming from the forest to the water's edge. It was like a swarm of fireflies. They went into the water and started swirling toward my island. As they came to shore, the small fires merged into me and we became a massive need fire. It was as if we were calling to the stars themselves for help. Why have the humans abandoned their intuition, their inner wisdom? The spirits are calling to whoever will listen and asking for spiritual warriors to battle the madness.
Keep the beacon fires burning! Be true to your nature and your inner joy/wisdom will attract others. Too many people are lost within their own skin and the latest "happy" pill won't help.
I am what I am and it's a good thing.
I was told this a long time ago and I forgot.. I think I'll remember this time.”
 

"I have been in the process of transformation and connection with my spirit self for the past ten years. The information, whether by book or class, came gradually at first allowing me to integrate what I was learning. As I began to intuitively know what I was feeling was a true connection to my soul and the soul of creation, the information started to come in more rapidly. The past two years have been a whirlwind of coming into all of my strengths working with my tribe - "La Familia de Luz" (the Family of Light). My family of Light is from Spirit, Angels, Faeries, Animal Guides and Transitioned Souls with a high level of development. Doing Shamanic work has brought all of the information full circle and now it is a matter of trusting myself and my intuition so that I continue to grow. My growth is not only to heal myself but also for my future help with others on their paths as well. Did I forget to mention - the connection I feel is one of magic and wonder, love and mystery, but I am also human and some days no matter who is by my side from my family of Light, I still face the challange of trusting the path I am on ... it isn't easy but in the end it is worth it .... and all because I Believe!" Shannon in Tucson
