The Call of Spirit:
A life changing training in intuition, miracles
and magic

Starting October 23, 2012
window
This 5 week training is an opening, an invitation, to consciously choose to wake the dream up. To explore the intuitive and walk beside it. To see it guiding you, nourishing you, pushing you to be as big as you can be. As big as you can hold and then just a little bit more. To feel the power of synchronicity, the magic of life and the possibility to make a difference. More here

Teachings Ceremonies and Divination:
with John Lockley, Xhosa Sangoma/Shaman

October 4 through the 12th, 2012

Brooklyn and Manhattan NY 

 

I am so happy to introduce my friend John Lockley to you, my intuitive community. I began working with John this summer and I can say that he is one of the true authentic seers that we all benefit from working with. Traditional healers or shamans (Sangomas) of the Xhosa people of South Africa use sacred ceremonies involving herbs, songs and trance rhythms to connect with the ancestors and the natural world to encourage a profound remembering and honoring of the human spirit. John Lockley is a fully initiated and trained Sangoma entrusted to bring traditional Xhosa medicine to anyone seeking this sacred remembering and connection. I am helping John organize this leg of his trip, so you can contact me about any of the NY venues. I highly encourage you to experience John's work.
