| Vision Quest in Havasupai, Grand Canyon With Constantine Darling, Julia Mikk, René Jenkins, and Samantha Sweetwater | | All over the world there are societies that have developed ritual, ceremony and physical practices to harness earth energy, utilize it and return it to source - creating an earth/human healing connection. These societies recognize that the earth is a conscious, nurturing entity providing wisdom and knowledge when one stills one's mind, heart, and body and attunes oneself to the frequencies by which earth communicates. What has been developed by Constantine Darling is a two-pronged approach to bring people into balance with the earth. The first prong is energetic while the other is physical. Both are necessary for the work to fully penetrate the ego and bring about important mental, spiritual, and physical transformation. Constantine Darling merges connective dream work, sightless work, eastern and western energy systems of knowledge and practice. You are invited on a very special journey! Come share in the healing of this sacred land and humanity as we join shamans, sound healers and passionate people who are devoted to serve in this unique time on planet earth. Co-Create a Tribal Membrane and Deep Shamanic Experience of the Earth. Invite the Shadow and explore inner landscapes of the Self. Learn to Harmonize and Energize your body with the Earth’s energetic system using Qi Gong, yoga, shamanic dance, sound healing, and conscious games to create a deeper sense of Self and Community. The facilitators’ unique teaching ability provides a map through your body into the inner contours of your emotional, instinctual and subconscious Self. |

| | INTENTIONS: | | Our journey starts with our desire to deeply look with our own inner landscape, paying attention to our own somatic feeling body, allowing shadow and unseen energies to emerge. It is here that we locate with delicious awareness and interest the purpose of our outer journey, and hints about how we can use the external natural world for healing and evolving. We use the friction and challenge of external activities to forge and align our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual bodies, to overcome and allow life to penetrate the deepest corners of self. Then we use the tribe to help us through to birth into being. Power dreaming is an ancient tool for searching the world of unconscious shadow, as well as creating learning landscapes of dreambody travel. Tribal dreaming enables us to dream link with others in the tribe and dream new and vibrant daytime realities. The earth has a language and a wisdom of nurturance and interconnectivity. Learn the art of feeling deeply what you see of and with plant and animal life. Develop the ability to feel the ever-present streams of energy vortexes, or prana pockets. Hear the layers of insect/bird/running stream/ crispy leaves, all in a symphonic arrangement, speaking to our instinctive body awareness. Then communicate through texture, energy waves: hot/ cold/ rough/ soft/ cold. The plant kingdom loves attention: quiet, deeply felt appreciation of form and beauty. | | INTERNAL PREPARTIONS FOR YOUR JOURNEY: | | Look and listen within your skin: What is my intention on this journey? Instead of thinking one up, listen deeply in quiet meditation, and wait for your purpose to emerge from the depths of self. Once found, ask the earth and your guides for affirmation. Pay quiet attention to how the outer world is speaking to you through animals, plants, weather, people. Go for longer and longer walks in nature, noticing qualities of sound and visual beauty of the land. Feel into the space between you and trees, plants, animals, other people. Notice with peripheral sight the delicate differences of space. Write/ draw/ hum/ sing/ dance, creating a sacred entryway to our Grand Canyon journey. Invite the unspoken, unseen shadow within you to rise, with the intention of making friends with all aspects of self. Start a dream journal, using primarily symbols and drawings, only minimal words. Remember your day before falling asleep using as much of your five senses as possible in recall. ask for guidance in your dreamscape. Be in touch with each other about your pre-journey feelings and discoveries, creating tribal link before we go. | | TRAVEL TIMES | | July 5, at 4:30am: -meet at 110 Laurel place San Rafael, CA July 5, at 6am: -Leave San Rafael, CA By Vanpool 12hr Travel by Van from San Rafael to Peach Springs, AZ (680.23 miles) July 5, around 7pm: -Arrive at Hualapai Lodge and stay overnight for 1 night 900 route 66 Peach Springs, AZ Please pre-pay for room in full when you arrive.
