The Healing Intensive is designed to promote accelerated change and transformation by turning up the alchemical heat on your own inner process. It is suitable for anyone who is feeling "stuck" in her or his healing process; who wants to explore a particular issue in depth and in a focused way; who needs assistance in making an important life decision; who is seeking direction and purpose; who is seeking spiritual guidance from the sacred source.
Each intensive is tailored to meet the needs of the individual. Generally speaking, however, the days are structured to allow for a balanced weaving together of time in nature and dialogue with a guide. Our first meeting is spent laying out the groundwork and parameters for the intensive. What do you want to address? How have you addressed this issue in the past? Where are you stuck now? What are you seeking? An important feature of this first meeting will be allowing the individual to tell her or his life story, for within the story lies the clue for healing.
From this first meeting we will develop strategies that will help you in your process. There are a host of options that we will be drawing from, but central to the work will be activities or exercises of attunement in Nature, in which you will use Nature as a mirror of your own soul. We will also be employing ancient shamanic healing techniques to help release the past, restore balance, and dream the possible into being ( for a more detailed description please see the Inner Path Healing Page). Some other possibilities may be a limited Medicine Walk, a Purification Lodge, and a Death Lodge. These are powerful earth-based rituals that carry the medicine to lift an individual out of an all-too-confining perspective into a wider, more expansive view of what is troubling her or him and what is possible.
