Exploring Toltec Shamanism -
the Path with a Heart

Falling in Love with Life:
"The Album of Sublime Moments"

Theory and practice for beginners and advanced
A weekend workshop with Izcaotl Papalotzin (Agustín)
Mexican shaman

Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th July 2010
Bristol

The magical journey of the love for life, of conquest, of joy, of consciousness and the release of worry about the absurd; this is the shamanic journey that seeks altered states of consciousness to re-establish yourself in the cosmos and create a bridge between the everyday world and the world of magic.

In this theoretical-practical course, joy is rescued as a form of knowledge. We rescue the most powerful moments of our existence, to make them available in moments of mental, sentimental or emotional need. This course offers a mthodology for stopping the thoughts that waste our energy and getting rid of all the surplus noise that interrupts our daily peace.

Dances, chants and rituals of power channel the necessary energy to rediscover direction in our lives, empowering our decisions through the states of power that shamanism offers. Aimed at discovering and understanding how the energy of our thoughts works, the course offers techniques to help halt the constant loss of energy used in the defence of your self and your ego.

The seminar is conducted in Spanish, translation into English is provided.

" To search for the path is to search for freedom. But we have to know that we want to be free. What distances us from our fellow beings? What obsesses our thoughts? Or what is it that turns peace and harmony into two abstract terms? What is it that distances us from the freedom to be what we want to be, to fulfill our task in the world?"

(from The Shaman's Garden: Memories Stiolen from the Dead Stars)

Contents of seminar

Shamanism is an art that combines a taste for life, happiness as a form of wisdom, trance dance, laughter, kindness and the saving of energy with the search for knowledge and fulfillment. Shamanism is the exclusive property of no one; it is neither religion nor dogma. It is simply a solitary path walked by each of its participants.

In this second module Agustin will explain to participants how to 'control' our thoughts, how to go deeper into the wonderful interpretation of the best of ourselves and the best of our past and of our future, through fun dynamic activities as well a by means of breathing exercises that will allow us to attain altered states of consciousness. He will open the doors so that participants can create a personal myth of their own life.

This workshop involves simple, joyful activities without great physical effort. The programme in these courses is always a mystery. The shaman listens to the mandates of the Spirit and follows the signs; he sees the group as an energetic mass and channels both magic and wisdom.

The seminar is conducted in Spanish, translation into English is provided.

It is only comparable to illumination and plenitude."
