Shamanism: Indigenous Roots

Recapitulation

Recapitulation is a Toltec ceremony used to heal emotional traumas (chargers). It is used to reclaim energy and return it to yourself. Recapitulation was first introduced into mass consciousness by Carlos Castaneda in his book, The Eagles Gift, published in 1982. In the book, The Toltec Path of Recapitulation: Healing Your Past to Free Your Soul, author Sanchez discusses learning procedures from the Wirrarika people (native to Mexico), much live Castaneda’s process of recapitulation.

This technique is used to reclaim one’s energy. Everywhere you have lived, you left an energetic piece of your being. In every interaction, you built energetic cords or filaments that, unless reclaimed, drain you of your vital energy. This is particularly true of sexual encounters. Through the consistent use of recapitulation you restore the vital energy necessary to progress on a spiritual path.

The Art of Dreaming

During the workshop we will discuss Indigenous and shamanic views on Dreams, Dreamtime and the Dreamscape. We will specific look at the first 4 of 7 gates of Dream in the Castaneda tradition.

Dreaming is a powerful tool for manifestation and action. Dreaming connects you with the world around you and to world’s beyond what you are able to physical experience or be aware of. Dream is a powerful form of altered consciousness, whether it be lucid dreaming, active dreaming, daydreaming or intentional dreaming.
