Healing
Camp with Eliot Cowan
Blue
Deer Center, April 10-14, 2008
After he had discovered Plant Spirit Medicine and been practicing
it for several years, Eliot Cowan found himself in a waiting
room reading an article about the Huichol Indians. Feeling as
if an electrical charge had passed through his body, Eliot immediately
knew he had to go and find out about these people. After several
years building relationship with Huichol shamans he was introduced
to the late Guadalupe Gonzalez, who became his teacher. At that
point, Eliot embarked upon a rigorous 12-year apprenticeship
learning the healing traditions of the Huichols.
As he brought this healing back to his people, Eliot found its
benefits could best be supported by a "healing camp"
where the stress patterns of daily life are temporarily left
behind. The camp creates a special sacred space which offers
the opportunity to reconnect with ourselves, with others and
with the natural world.
Healing camp is five days of traditional Huichol healing sessions
with Eliot Cowan. Participation is limited to 15 people. The
healing work is enhanced by activities that promote peace, joy,
and connection with nature.

Bielsky: psminfo@bluedeer.org or call 805-967-7853.
