ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Date: Calgary, April 18, 2010
Time: Sunday 4:00 PM
Location: The Body Soul & Spirit Expo
For
thousands of years, shamans and indigenous healers
everywhere have been observing the way power and energy move throughout
the universe, aware of the existence of an unseen reality which
parallels our physical world and able to move between these two worlds
with confidence and ease to bring back important wisdom to aid us
on our journey through the physical. In many ways, our modern science is
finally beginning to understand and prove the remarkable accuracy of
this ancient way of knowing. What are "black hole" discoveries,
after all, but the great mystical void that shamans have always
known existed?
To
the Sisterhood of the Shields, whose teachings have been handed down from
shaman to apprentice, mother to daughter in an unbroken chain for over 10,000
years, the "end of days" denotes the coming of a huge shift in human
consciousness. It marks the awakening of the great dreamer god, who has in a
sense been dreaming all of us, influencing human consciousness through the
patriarchy, for the past several millenniums. According to the Sisterhood's
tradition, this dreamer god is in the process of waking up. When that happens,
he will no longer be dreaming us; he will no longer be dreaming our dreams for
us.
What
this means is that we are going to have to take responsibility for our own
dreams. We are going to have to take responsibility for our own
selves, our own lives and our place in harmony with this great Mother
Earth, instead of waiting and expecting someone else to do it for us. It is the
beginning of a consciousness of personal responsibility and spiritual
enlightenment marked by the return to balance of male and female energies on
this earth, energies which have been out of harmony for at least the past 10,000
years, and the world is not a better place because of it. It is the dawning of a
time of great excitement and unbounded possibility, when spirit and science no
longer square off at opposite ends of the spectrum but finally come back
together through the creative genius of the human spirit.
My
teachers often say that people were never intended to live with the amount of
stress and chaos that we face in today's world. Not only have our social
structures become too complex and our technology unwieldy, Mother Earth
herself is going through a time of rapid, momentous change. And it is
precisely this convergence of human and earth dilemma that has brought these
women forward at this particular point in time, just as it is with so many other
shamans throughout the world who are coming forward now to return their ancient
knowledge and wisdom about the ways of power and energy, life and harmony in the
universe to a parched world that had once turned its back on their magnificence.
I
will speak about this convergence, and about the return of ancient wisdom and of
feminine consciousness, Goddess consciousness, if you will, to our world,
blending ancient and modern knowledge and wisdom toward a better way of living,
and I will show our audiences how to access the sacred feminine and sacred
masculine consciousness that reside within all of us as we restore ourselves to
balance, as well. As my teacher say, the time is right now. No one is
going to do it for us.
ABOUT LYNN
ANDREWS,
shaman healer,
best-selling author,
teacher, and inspirational speaker.
Lynn Andrews is the New York Times and internationally
best selling author of the Medicine Woman series, 19 books and
workbooks which chronicle her 38 years of work with the 44 native women of the
Sisterhood of the Shields. With her teachers Agnes Whistling Elk and Ruby
Plenty Chiefs, two shaman women from the far north of Canada who follow the
sacred women’s spirituality of their grandmothers, Lynn has studied shamanism
and feminine spirituality with indigenous healers in the Mayan Yucatán,
Guatemala, Australia, Nepal and Egypt, as well as the American Southwest and
Europe; these women even smuggled her across the Red Chinese border and into
Tibet to attend a special gathering of the Sisterhood!
Medicine Woman, Lynn’s first book, hit the stands in 1980, followed by
Flight of the Seventh Moon (today republished as Spirit Woman),
Jaguar Woman, and 16 other books. Since then, she has been sought out by
her readers as the voice of spirit and wisdom they have been seeking for so
long, and she has been invited to speak at conferences and symposia all over the
globe, even as she continues to work with her own teachers and write of these
experiences in order to share their wisdom with the world. Her annual Spring
retreat, the “Joshua Tree Gathering,” which draws men and women from all around
the world, celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2008.
In 1994, in response to
increasing international demand, she founded her four-year “Mystery School,” the
Lynn Andrews Center for Sacred Arts and Training, as a “school without walls”
accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world via mail, telephone and the
internet; four years later, she founded the School’s graduate program. Today,
Lynn’s work has grown to include a second annual retreat in Hawaii; the
International Councils of the Whistling Elk with chapters in 59 cities across
the world; multiple Online Courses throughout the year; and a Sacred Forum which
is utilized by tens of thousands of kindred spirits every month. Her 19th
book, Writing Spirit, was published by Tarcher/Penguin in 2006.
Lynn is a dynamic and highly accomplished inspirational and motivational speaker
who uses a variety of techniques to bring her audiences directly into the
experience of her message, including the ancient arts of storytelling and
visualization, ceremony and the use of sacred tools taught her by her teachers,
and even the modern technology of Power Point. As she says, “You cannot teach
someone about life by standing at a podium and lecturing. People learn through
experience.” As a shaman healer and Seer in her own right, fully initiated as
the only non-native member of the Sisterhood of the Shields, Lynn brings a
wealth of tradition and wisdom into her every contact. She is recognized as a
leader in the field of feminine spirituality and her work has been taught in
colleges and universities across the United States and Canada.
Lynn Andrews also wrote the following Books
(and several more).
