Sound Healing Intensives
(see Sound Healers Trainings,
for full listings of sound healer practitioner trainings)
An
in depth three day training:
Join
us in this weekend exploration of the nature of, and use of sound and
light, in healing and transformation. What is the nature of
sound? How is it used in shamanic and sacred sound healing?
How do we connect with and channel the divine energies of light and
sound?
What is the human energy field, and how does sound interact with it in
healing
and transformation? We will work with specific techniques of
intonation,
intuitive guidance, focalization of will and intent, channeling of
light
energies, meditations to enhance awareness, guidance, and
personal
transformation, the use of sounding tools such as voice, drums,
tingshas,
and crystal bowls, individual
and group healings, and more.
This
is an in depth program which will benefit practitioner and novice
alike. We will create or deepen our foundation of understanding
and experience to open us to
further work with the mysteries of sacred sound in healing and
transformation. Zacciah's trainings are strongly influenced by
intuitive guidance. The content of program material will alter
from program to program due to this guidance, based in part, on current
needs and abilities of the group.

{Gathering,
Planting,
Germinating/Gestating,
Birthing/Reaping}
Our
July 2006 Return To Beauty program
will incorporate elements of this
program.
A
Unique Program in outdoor
Vermont Sacred Sites
The
first of a series of outdoor summer events,
utilizing explicit energies of ancient sacred stone sites, used by
little known
cultures here in North America, in pre-historic times, for attunement
to and
alignment with earth and star energies, and higher consciousness. These
will be
unique programs, with ceremony and ritual for personal attunements, and
Earth
& Sky initiations, fully guided by the essences/energies of the
sites and
the keys to consciousness which they hold.
Most
programs will
be at the DreamLodge (an active stone chamber) and other
stone lodges and components of the Calendar I site, and will
incorporate
time at
the Cavendish Gorge, Mount Mansfield, Black Mountain, or other sacred
sites. We
will work with the sacred essences of stone and water, air, Earth, sun
&
Sky, the Keepers, Celestial, and Ancestral beings of these sites in
celebratory
communion. These programs are appropriate only for those committed to,
or
prepared to commit to, the highest good for personal and planetary
transformation.
Further Initiations
into Earth
and Sky
Utilizing Esoteric Exercises of
Shamanic
and Alchemical
Traditions
Our
July 2006 Return To Beauty program
will incorporate elements of this
program.
These
are newly developing programs utilizing explicit energies of ancient
sacred stone sites, used by little known cultures here in North
America, in pre-historic times, for attunement to and alignment with
earth and star energies, and higher consciousness. These will be
unique programs, fully guided by the essences/energies of the sites and
the keys to consciousness which they hold.
Most programs will
be at the
DreamLodge (active stone
chamber) and other lodges and components of the Calendar I site, but may incorporate time at the Cavendish
Gorge, Mount Mansfield, Black Mountain, or other sacred sites. We
will work with the sacred
essences of stone and water, air, Earth, sun & Sky, the Keepers,
Celestial,
and Ancestral beings of these sites in celebratory communion.
Three days
will be scheduled for these sacred sites in
summer, or spring, summer, fall, 2004. The Earth is calling us
for sacred relation.
This is where we are dwelling. Discover your home, come into

exercises
for the healing practitioner and laypersons, and, time permitting,
building the exercises
of the
Tibetan “Breath of Fire” practice, which serves explicitly to awaken,
clear,
and attune the chakras. Zacciah's trainings are strongly influenced by intuitive
guidance. The
content of program material will alter from program to program due to
this guidance, based in part, on current needs and abilities of the
group.

Stargatherer:
a
journey to our most ancient homelands
We
each have our own starfields (those celestial bodies which are special
or
sacred
to each of us,) which hold key elements of our ancient past:
authenticity, power, memories, greater awareness, wisdom, and
knowledge, our most ancient heritage. Moreso, the starfields of
the universe hold key elements of energy, threads of light,memory,
and consciousness that are integral to the Earth's development,
healing, and transformation at this time. Join Zacciah in
discovering and applying these new and ancient techniques of journeying
and gathering star energies to use in your own transformative
exercises, and healing path. The Earth calls us. The stars beckon.
Walking
with Bear:
A
Quest for Medicine
Preregistration requested
Limited
Enrollment
For
those of us who are healers, or wish
to deepen awareness of our own innate wisdom of ourselves.
Bear medicine opens our heart with the power of deep insight,
compassion,
and forgiveness. Bear also can be a doorway to the Sacred
Feminine,
to the place within both ourselves and the Creation, where life is
gestated,
cultivated, formed. We do not wish to define what Bear Medicine
is,
so much as to discover what the medicine, or power, which Bear is,
offers
to each of us, individually, when we open to Bear's presence. We
are
going to look at our own potential, and the powers Bear is willing to
bring
to those of us seeking and willing to walk the road of Bear’s healing
Medicine.
This program is for those ready to develop deep journeying; those
of
us ready to waken, to be shown pathways to discover our own Personal
Power
and Healing. Renewal and dedication are called for on this
path.
The Earth, the Children, our People, all inhabitants of Earth await us.

Building the
Light Body:
Deeper level studies in alchemical practice, with esoteric
exercises, via sacred sound transmissions.
w/
Zacciah
Building
energy and awareness in the Light Body (also known as the Ka or etheric
body), is the path to greater awakening, illumination, and, in some
traditions, the pathway to eternal life. Through building of the
Light Body, we awaken the higher brain centers which sponsor the
greater powers of awareness known as the Siddhis. We will be
working with alchemical streams of consciousness to strengthen
awareness and energy in the Light Body. Some exercises may be
conducted outside.
Honoring Divine Mother
with Zacciah
Honoring
and embracing the Divine Feminine
within
each of us, is a precious gift that nourishes and swells in our life,
creating the impetus for dynamic action that brings
manifestation. By embracing that which is the universal
womb within ourselves, we allow for the gestation, the rich cultivation
of
energies essential to creativity and growth.
We
will call upon the essence of Divine Mother as we see her and
seek to embrace and embody that essence more fully. Regardless of
gender, the healing and compassion generated by the creative aspect of
our
higher feminine self brings balance, and enriches and rewards us in our
daily lives.
Doorway
to the Ancestors: Our
Ancient Lineage
Accessing
Ancient Knowledge
We
will be calling upon Bear, and others, to assist us in journeying,
through the Dreamlodge, to face those of our ancient past, who keep
wisdom and
knowledge of the ancient ways, til we are ready to access it. We
shall
be meeting with those of our own blood lineage, the keepers of these
sacred
lands, the star beings, and others who gather from our most ancient
times. Come, and journey with us, to find our deeper personal
wisdom, and ways to root our own innate being more deeply and firmly
within ourselves.

The
Art of Sacred Sound Transmissions:
Sound
Healing Training, w/ Zacciah
Pre-registration requested, limited enrollment
Join
us in these full day explorations of the nature of, and use of sound
and light, in healing and transformation. What is the
nature of
sound? How is it used in shamanic and sacred sound healing?
What is the human energy field, and how does sound interact with it in
healing
and transformation? We will work with specific techniques of
intonation,
intuitive guidance, focalization of will and intent, channeling of
light
energies, meditations to enhance awareness, guidance, and
personal
transformation, the use of sounding tools such as voice, drums,
tingshas,
and crystal bowls, the use and programming of crystals, feathers,
individual
and group healings, and more.
This
will create a foundation of understanding and experience to open us to
further work with the mysteries of sacred sound in healing and
transformation.
A note on Sound
Healing Training: I am more than happy to help broaden your
awareness in
the community of sound healing, and explore deep and rewarding
comprehension of the use of sound as a therapeutic tool, a connector to
the divine realm, a vehicle for channeling light energies into the
earth, our bodies and
spirits. Novice and practitioners will both gain from our sound
healers
training. Please let me know your level of interest. Though
my work is always based on intuitive guidance, the more aware I am of
the
level of abilities and interests of participants in class, the easier
and
more potent the work becomes. Moreso, we are all creators in the
classroom. What we are open to, what we are ready for, what we
ask
for, and what we bring to each other, all opens doorways we might not
have
otherwise perceived. I am also working with those seeking
assistance
in their own path, in private studies, healing, or spiritual
counselling.
Please speak with me by e-mail, mail or phone.

Karpay
America, or Initiation in America, is a new 4-day travel program led by
Juan Nunez del Prado. In a series of beautiful and moving rituals
and exercises we begin the process of reconnecting ourselves to the
sacred
energy of the earth in a deep association with nature. Recognizing that
we each have a strong seed within ourselves which holds our potential
and
our dreams, we will use our time together to rediscover our potential
and
find new ways to understand and express who we are and what we came
here
to do.
Mother
Nature is opening her classrooms for us for this program : waterfalls,
standing stones, underground chambers, mountain peaks and lakes will
welcome
us and help us connect to their particular energy. We have carefully
selected
the sites for our work. They hold the collective memory and
consciousness
of those who came before us and who, maybe for thousands of years,
celebrated their rituals here, using these places for visions and to
talk to the Holy One.
