The Way of the Leopard - A TWO DAY CEREMONY TO CONNECT TO NATURE

Traditional Shamanic Teachings from South Africa Learn the three jewels of Indigenous medicine. • How to connect to your ancestors and your humanity (Ubuntu). • Listen to your heartbeat through trance dancing and meditation • Work with your dreams (night time journeys) Welcome to this two-day interactive ceremony to help you to connect to your spirit and the spirits of nature. A key question in South African shamanic practice is “what is the call of your spirit?” The focus is on your soul not your personality or ego. When we can learn how to grow our soul, the immortal wilderness or wild space inside of us; then the outer wilderness will thrive, not die. In South African traditional culture, every human being is responsible for finding their calling to strengthen the circle of life and humanity (Ubuntu). The Leopard is one of the most revered totem animals in Southern Africa. The reason is because it represents intuitive intelligence and nobility of spirit. The Leopard represents harmony between the spirit and mundane worlds, always dancing between the twilight worlds of light and dark. It is a guide to African medicine people and others who want to listen and wake up. Participants will learn how to connect to their spirit and spirits through an intricate ceremony conducted in a circle around an earth altar or shrine. The ceremony is an interactive, dynamic process involving trance dancing or ‘shaking medicine’, dream work and a plant medicine (non-hallucinogenic) cleansing ritual. Participants will place their feet in a basin of warm water and herbs to stimulate dreaming and intuition. This is an important part of the weekend. In traditional South Africa, people know the importance of cleansing with medicinal plants to connect to their spirit. “In order to feel like the leopard, we need to move and dance like the leopard”. With Shaking Medicine, John will show participants how to energise their spine to awaken their intuition. This is a gentle dance open to all fitness levels. It is a wonderful way to awaken the heart and connect to the heartbeat. Important items to bring on the weekend: • A plastic basin, with room to place both feet • Dream journal to record dreams NB: This ceremony requires all participants to engage with their own process 100%. It requires the hearts of warriors, fearless individuals who are not afraid to face their own shadows.

College of Psychic Studies
HOST:
College of Psychic Studies - The College was founded in 1884 by a group of eminent scholars and scientists. Its purpose was to facilitate formal investigation into the psychic and mediumistic phenomena that were such a topic of debate in the Victorian era. With great courage, this group of distinguished people, some notable in science, others from within the ranks of the Anglican clergy, defied the prevailing canons of respectability in order to proclaim to a world of increasing materialism that human personality survives bodily death and that this is capable of demonstration.
