Connecting to the Divine Natural World An Introduction to Plant Spirit Medicine and the Roots of Shamanism  with
Eliot Cowan
|
"Suddenly it felt urgent to discover the world, to find my place and my belonging, to find who I was, and where I was, and what there was to do..."
--From "Eliot Cowan Shares His Story" [Read it Here]
Since the beginning of time, shamans looked to nature to understand the realms of wisdom and healing. Drawing on that wisdom today, Plant Spirit Medicine and the ancient shamanic practices give us the tools we need to bring healing to our spirits, bring healing to others, and find our paths for our own soul’s journey.
This course is for those who wish to explore the natural world and discover themselves. You may be a beginner or a veteran. You may be a healer. You may have no interest in healing. You may consider yourself talented or dense, spiritual or mundane. It doesn’t matter. Whoever you are, you are a child of the world, and your Mother has much to share with you.
In this largely experiental course we will delve into:
Believing is Seeing and What You See is What You Get
- The World Forces: Sun, Soil, Mineral, Rain, Growth
- Emotion – How Do I Touch the World? How Does the World Touch Me?
- The Voice of the Seasons
- Learning Plant Spirit Language
- Plant Wisdom and How to Hear It
- Dream and Reality
- Ancestors, Soul and Spiritual Path
- Time Around the Fire
Teacher
Eliot Cowan is the author of Plant Spirit Medicine, and a fully initiated Tsaurirrikame (shaman) in the Huichol Indian tradition. He began the study and practice of herbalism in the 1960’s and completed a Master of Acupuncture degree with J.R. Worsley in England in the 1970’s. Eliot subsequently apprenticed with Don Guadalupe Gonzalez Rios, a Huichol Indian Shaman. On the occasion of Don Guadalupe’s retirement in 2000, he ritually recognized Eliot as a guide to shamanic apprentices in the Huichol tradition.
