	“I always had these images in my head, and these abilities, but I felt alone and outside and possibly weird. Meeting Quynn and attending the classes have made me more comfortable and freed me to take full advantage of my gifts. I finally feel like my true self!” E in Tucson


		“The journeys are very helpful, even if I don’t initially understand what they mean. Often I figure it out later.” Nanette- Tucson

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

Modern shamanizing requires unique remedies for modern issues. Those called to shamanize today must be brave enough to heal their own soul loss or damage caused by living in the dominant culture, and find time and quiet mind to hone their abilities from their spirit world and intuit how to offer those shamanic abilities in the world.

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

This series is open to those who have heard the call, and are ready to take the step to be of service. You do not have to have worked with Quynn in the past to participate, but if you have shamanized with Quynn, and you are interested in diving more deeply into your shamanic practice with Quynn as your guide, feel free to participate. For each participant- This program will form-fit to what you need at this point in your path, even if you have participated in a previous Training with Q.

EACH SESSION HAS 6 SPOTS AVAILABLE

BETWEEN DECEMBER OF 2008 AND APRIL 2009, THERE WILL BE
TWO SESSIONS OFFERED
Each four month program is designed for those serious about training their inner shamanic practitioner to work in these important times. Two different sessions will be offered, each covering different areas of shamanizing.

SESSION ONE- Meets one Saturday a month for 5 months.
Dates are Saturdays, December 27, Jan. 24, Feb. 28, March 28 and April 25

Five Saturday meetings from 10am-4pm
Session One is designed for those who feel called to the shamanic path, yet have not yet worked with others (also open to anyone who has some experience working with others, yet wants more experience). This series of four meetings will assist each participant in honing their abilities they feel guided to offer with others. Becoming a Shamanic Practitioner is about Practice, Practice, Practice. 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 individual “readings”.

Explore:
*How you respond to “reading” people you do not know
*How to read your own reactions to people in front of you
*The art of holding space

You can:
*Magnetize your abilities
*Utilize your various healing gifts
*Magnetize like-minded “clients”
*Reinvent and Co-Create the role of “shamanic practitioner”
*Plant seeds for future spiritual growth
*Receive guidance about how to “put yourself out there”

Understand:
*What your Guides want from you
*How to live in the world with your abilities “open”

You will:
*Participate in an opening and closing circle to set and review intention and progress
*Experience settings to work with others including:
   - Individual sessions with other group members (Jan)
   - Participating in a Healing Arts booth at the 2009 Tucson Peace Fair (Feb)
   - Offering your gifts during a “Healing Artists Showcase” (March)

Cost: Spirit Guided Donation-
payment is made at the beginning of every session.
(Spirit Guided Donation means that you ask within about what you should offer, and you offer that amount.)

SESSION TWO- “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

“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 and personal connection to Spirit. Perfect for healing practitioners of all modalities. Expand your abilities, and take them the next step with others in the same position. This session is also open to those who have participated in a previous Shamanic Practitioner Training with Quynn and are ready to deepen and expand their personal connection to their guides and abilities.

This nighttime series will focus on sharing, self-reflection, ritual and trance in a bi-weekly circle. Each participant brings their gifts and desire to deepen their personal practice. Consider this circle an opportunity to utilize group energy of like-minded individuals for personal growth and support. The world needs spiritual/energetic and shamanic practitioners who are ready to “go deeper”.

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

"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!"

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.”
