You Are Invited To Join Us For....

"A SACRED RE-MEMBERING:
CEREMONIAL EARTHWAYS OF
CONDOR AND EAGLE"

Mythic Initiation With

Don Oscar Miro-Quesada

Don Oscar Miro-Quesada
& Robert Vetter
May 18-20, 2012

Hope Springs Institute

Peebles, Ohio

(Located Near Serpent Mound)

In this weekend initiation into the mythic dimensions and ritual healing practices from Heart Island and Turtle Island, you are treated to an intimate encounter with the living soul of our Mother Earth. The wisdom legacy of these ancient teachings provides spiritual nourishment for contemporary people looking to connect with the intersecting natural, spiritual, and social worlds.

This gathering artfully blends the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition (PMT) of cross-cultural shamanism originated by Don Oscar Miro-Quesada and derived from indigenous Peruvian wisdom traditions, with Southern Plains Indian medicine teachings offered by Robert Vetter. This event involves the ceremonial use of a Southern Plains tipi in which a traditional smoke lodge for physical and spiritual cleansing will be held. Learn to embody the teachings behind the Prophecy of the Eagle and Condor through:

• Wisdom Teachings

• Storytelling

• Sacred Song

• Artful Shamanic Healing Rituals

• Daily Spiritual Practices That Reinforce the Teachings

Join us as we engage seen and unseen powers and forces of deep transformational value in shape-shifting out of the common ills associated with modern living.

This invitation extends to you to embrace this experience with a peaceful, receptive heart and an open courageous mind. As Don Oscar often reminds those heartfelt aspirants of the Great Work, “By doing, one learns; with study, one refines; through dreaming, one creates; in loving, one fulfills. This is the secret art of tending the sacred garden of the Soul.” May all who resonate with this living truth respond to the prophetic calling of this unique apprenticeship in earth-honoring ceremony and shamanic healing arts.
