The Three Mothers:  IMMERSE IN THE  SACRED FEMININE; article

<Discount continued until Friday Apr 20 by Phone,

or Monday, Apr 23 online.>

We invite you to a weekend of deep honoring of, and immersion in, the Heart of the Sacred Feminine.

We shall peer into the Three Aspects of the Divine Feminine, which compose the forces and Heart of Creation, as well as the Names and the Voices of the Many Mothers, 'Known and Unknown, Named and Unnamed,' this Beltane weekend, the time of the great Fertilization of the Divine Feminine in indigenous cultures worldwide, and the weekend before our traditional Mothers' Day weekend!What is our relationship to the Divine Mother, at all levels of our being?

We will explore the nature of the Divine Feminine, how to access her, and immerse ourselves in her heart, her fertile womb of deep nurturing and Creative Potential, and open the Gateway to the Mysteries which lay beyond.

For those who have not partcipated in this work, words will not describe the experiences the vast majority of participants bring home.  "Life altering" is a most common phrase.The work takes us beyond the ordinary, to the extra-ordinary, the realms of subtle reality, of which we are a part.They take us beyond cognitive expression of that Great Mystery, where only the greater understanding of our intuitive wisdom can embrace the phenomena which arise.  It brings us to our Essence, to our Heart; to our true Home.

One dear participant in Spain just wrote me:

I literally speak with my heart when I say, You change my life in four days more than the best teacher of my school did in years. Thank you.

You are the perfect example that the unique way to teach is being the example.

In this process, we will peer behind the veils of our own hearts and being, to witness what keeps us from directly perceiving the Heart and Realms of Creation, of the Divine Matrix, the Divine Mother.  What is holding us back?  What relationships do we hold with the Feminine in all aspects of our self and our own lives, which might keep us from, or allow us to, use the tender heart of the Mother to heal, or her compassionate funeral pyre to purify, or her vital Essence to empower and invigorate our Being?

What aspect of the Matrix do we believe we need to bear witness to, and what part is waiting that we have not yet understood, perceived, heard, or paid attention to, which will truly empower us?She is the source of power, of life itself.Let us touch into, and honor her.She is the One behind the Veils.

Bring your VOICES!, your willingness to explore, and your prayers.  It is our Collective essence, intention, and prayers which will bring completion to the Healing and Transformation of this Sacred Planet.

We will begin and end with ceremonies of the Sacred Waters of the World.   We have gathered waters from sacred sites and wells across the globe, from Lourdes and Glastonbury, to The Origin Springs in Peru and the Mother Spring in Germany, to springs and wells right here in New England, as powerful, pure, and healing, as any of these.  We shall incorporate our own songs and blessings, in ceremonies with the "Great Ceremonial Drums", (large powwow drums, made for world healing ceremonies,) and powerful transmissions and initiations from the Holy Mothers.

SEE ALL DETAILS HERE!

After our February practice, one of our participants shared this:

Working with the Ancestors connected me to roots I always felt I had but never experienced with such clarity. The deep clearing of obscurations, ...and... traumas was thorough and rewarded with deep joy - from both sides!

The energy, the unity of spirit and joy was so alive in our "Practice tribe" - I just want more and more of it!  You are such a Light and a Blessing to us all. Thank you for dedicating your life not only to your own Evolution but to all of us.

We shall be given similar opportunities here.  We invite you to join us.

Bring your waters from your wells, your springs, the heart of where you live, to unite with our collection of sacred waters, and to renew and re-invigorate with our collective prayers and Waters of the World.  We shall then, each, take a vial of these collective waters, infused with our prayers, home, to re-invigorate the Earth with them, or use as we see fit.  (See Dr Emoto's work with water crystals if you are not familiar with the effect of prayer and intention on water.)

Bring, also, your own images of the Divine Feminine, and your own Mothers, if you would care to.  We will have a special altar prepared to receive these images. 

And, if you choose, bring your drums.  These may be used in the final ceremony, in conjunction with our large drums.  But, everyone present will have an opportunity to play one of the large ceremonial drums during the prayer ceremonies.  You may also borrow one of our many drums we carry in the practices.

We encourage you to read about the program, and the nature of the Divine Feminine, in this link.

Another article regarding this program is available in a recent newsletter.

Blessings, Dear Ones

I am immersed in the revelations in Spain, working with the Earth Mother and Blessed Mothers of the Other Realms.

First, in Montserrat, with the Sacred Mountain, a most holy mountain, revered for eons by early cultures, and at the Cathedral of the Black Madonna which rests on her shoulder, we experienced the heart of the mountain literally open to us, pouring blessings upon us through the imprints of the sun, just as we completed the Tree of Life practices, awakening the Sacred Dragon of the mountain.

The mountain spoke, as I sat alone upon its crown the next day, peering into the heart of the City of Barcelona from miles and miles away. 

"None of this is important," the mountain said to me,

see what is important.....

JULY 18-22, 2012 

LEYDEN MA, (Near Greenfield)

information here

People have asked me for years to offer more traditional shamanic practices through my sound healing programs.  The reality is, my work is very shamanic in nature, and based in the rich tapestry and history of the use of shamanic sound in cultures from Cherokee and Ojibwe nations of the Americas (cultures I carry genetic and spiritual lineages of,) to the Tibetan Bon and Buddhist, Hindu mystical and Egyptian Mysteries I am initiated in, and birthed from.

Sound is every where and in every thing.  And, when we learn to listen to, and attune to, the vibrational essence, and information carried in all Living Things, as well as the VOICES OF THE OTHER WORLDS, we have an extraordinary opportunity to work with sound from a highly refined and other worldly perspective.

How do they speak, how do we listen, and learn?

There are, also, specific methods of learning how to view into the subtle body, and work energetically with others in shamanic/sound practices (therapeutic in nature.)

And, there are numerous ways to tap into the Living Energies of the Earth, create alliances with these energies, and the Elemental, Ancestral and other living CONSCIOUSNESS of those energies (and realms, or worlds,) present, in every place, every room, every Earth Sanctuary we visit or live in, to incorporate in our lives, practices, and healing ceremonies for our selves and others, not to mention for the Earth Herself.
We are in a time of profound transformation, and in this special first of its kind retreat, we shall engage in real healing ceremonies for our selves, the Earth, and each other during this very special 5 day program.  In this retreat, we shall take the highlights of my Sound Healers and other trainings, and incorporate & encapsulate elements of how to work with voice and instruments, energy of the human subtle field, and the subtle realms of the Greater Realities (or, Other Worlds,) around and within us.  How to develop allies and personal power, and resolve or dissolve the encumbrances we, or others carry, which debilitate most of our lives.

Why do so many focus on the shadow side, when that is not what we wish to create?  We cannot ignore the shadows we carry, but it is far more important to realize who we truly are, where our power truly lies, and who are our greatest allies and resources for healing, living, and thriving, upon this bounteous Earth.
We shall peer into, work with, and come to understandings of both principals and processes of healing.

This is all part of what I offer in my greater 1, 2, and 3 year trainings in Sound.  Many do not understand how much of the shamanic perspective I bring into this work.  That is partly because of misunderstanding of the true nature of Shamanism, partly because of how I choose to language my work.

What I do is, and has always been, based more in traditional Shamanism (world traditions,) rather than what many have come to view shamanism to be in our contemporary society, where many of us have a very limited perspective of its true and authentic nature.

So, perhaps we will start here.  What is shamanism; where does our power reside; how do we access it, define it, and utilize it; how do we heal ourselves and others;  how is the Earth involved; and what can we each do to assist in this powerful transformation of Human and Earthly consciousness which is transpiring today.

What does he mean by the Living Earth, Living Energies, or 'Consciousnesses of Other Worlds?'  Do you realize these are alive, (everything,) and accessible as allies, as true living entities?

We have not been taught these principals well in the modern era.
We will be in the luscious 95 Acres of the SpiritFire Retreat Center in Leyden MA, with the option to live in or commute to the practice.  Some work will be in doors, some outdoors.

It will incorporate traditional fire ceremony.

Everyone who comes will likely find this experience more than they anticipated, more than they possibly even imagined.  The majority of participants in this work report just that.  Even those who have come for years.
We hope to see you.If you register  Friday by phone, or by Monday on line, you will save a minimum of $200 on the total fees.

An extra newsletter bonus.

If you register with $500 now, and $500 or the balance by May 24, we will still offer you this discount.

Many blessings in all that you do.Zacciah Blackburn
