End of Year Online Recap Retreat, 29-31 December 2023

End of year recap retreat End of year online retreat: 29 – 31 December 2023 With Franco Santoro

An ideal opportunity to promote planetary awareness and healing through multidimensional spirituality practices based on the teachings of A Course in Miracles, integrated with astroshamamanic work. We will revisit the past, using recapitulation techniques, extracting gifts and blessings, letting go of grievances and darkness, to pave the way for a bright 2024.

Time serves the ego (separate identity) to trap the human mind in an autistic reality based on the illusory nature of the past and the future. In the past reside grudges, fears, judgments, desires, remorse and pain that are incessantly recycled into the future. The ordinary human body, separated and split from the whole, can only exist in the past and future, where it is non-existent in the single instant, in which the actual reality of our being dwells. The premise of the recapitulation is that past events block the vital energy until they are identified and released. Otherwise, the past continues to be retained and constantly recycled. As humans we tend to invest enormous amounts of energy into these memories, until, just like in a computer, the memory runs out, and the mind freezes and enters a state of amnesia. In addition to re-examining one’s life and memories and releasing grievances and blocked emotions, recapitulation can allow previously trapped energies to become available to implement desired outcomes and goals. The recapitulation can therefore be followed by practices aimed at defining one’s intentions, identifying and defining one’s potential, organizing and planning the new year.

The retreat takes place via Skype through daily sessions of an hour and a half each, fully recorded. You can participate live or listen to the recordings at your preferred time. The live broadcast is scheduled for late afternoon and will be defined based on the needs of the majority of participants. The online retreat can also be attended for a fewer number of days than the entire program. The indicative cost for a cycle of three sessions is Euro 60 + association membership fee of Euro 10 (for those who are not already members).

Scorpio Intensive, 3 – 5 November 2023

3 – 5 November 2023, Merizzo (Massa), Intensive Scorpio Retreat, Beyond Sex and Death, with Franco Santoro

The retreat is divided into two parts: one from October 31st to November 2nd is for those who are part of the Faculty or other advanced programs, the other (from 3rd, pm to 5th November) is open to those who have participated in at least one seminar or session with Franco or the Institute, or after an admission interview. The event is also particularly aimed at those who have participated in previous editions of this seminar and intend to carry out more explicit in-depth work.

The retreat can be carried out in full or in part. Access to the retreat is open only to those who have had previous work experience with us or after an admission interview or individual session.

Scorpio is the sign associated with the taboo aspects of life, including the esoteric and deep features of our passions and desires, death, ancestors and our relationship with unseen realities, which profoundly affect our everyday life.The workshop explores the theme of relationship from a multidimensional perspective, which includes the traditional theme of the Scorpio cycle, death, passion, rebirth. We will use advanced practices of astroshamanic soul retrieval, exploring shadow aspects and the rapport with our ancestors. The workshop involves a deep process of recapitulation and energy assessment of our human interactions, with the aim of gaining empowerment and wholeness, supporting and implementing righteous relationships aligned with our authentic soul purpose.

The event is particularly aimed at those who have participated in previous editions of this seminar and intend to carry out a more explicit in-depth study. In the ordinary world Scorpio is the sign associated with the most secret and profound aspects of existence, with the intimate relationship between light and dark, with the invisible realities that dwell beyond the ordinary perception of the world and above all with death and all radical and irreversible transformation processes. To proceed along the path of light and knowledge it is about learning to recognize the shadow, the dark, the repressed part and the mystery that dwells within us. This implies establishing an attitude of openness towards what is perceived as a crisis, disturbance, negativity, in order to know its actual nature and motivation. According to this perspective, every process of growth, transformation and broadening of consciousness requires a stage of catharsis, in which a part is transformed, favouring the birth and development of a new part. Since 1997 this seminar, now in its 30th edition, has been a classic tool of the Institutum’s work, an annual appointment with the most mysterious aspects of existence, which is radically renewed every year.

Casale in Lunigiana

A Multidimensional Journey from Duality to Unity: The Binary System

The aim of the course is to share tools for soul retrieval and spiritual or multidimensional healing, considering the vertical relationship with the spiritual world and God, together with the conflict or integration of the horizontal relationship with material reality.

Online Multidimensional Astrology Course

According to multidimensional astrology we live in many dimensions simultaneously. The reality we’re in is just one of these worlds, but because it’s founded on separation, we think we exist only here. All human suffering is due to this separation and the impossibility of recognizing who we really are. Multidimensional astrology helps understand who and where we are on a larger level of consciousness. In multidimensional astrology, the traditional natal chart represents the separate self, based on identification with a physical body, linked to linear time and with a single inevitable end: death. The healing work is to free ourselves from enslavement to this identity by moving from the personal birth chart to the unified multidimensional one.

This is a complete course in spiritual, experiential and multidimensional astrology consisting of three series, of five lessons each, for a total of 15 recorded podcast lessons lasting approximately 90 minutes and accompanied by extensive downloadable pdf texts containing the summary of the lesson, sheets and technical information, exercises and images. The course also includes additional lessons. Each series can be attended independently. In 2023 we fully edited and updated the recordings and teaching materials of the original 2017-2018 course, which is now available in a completely new guise. Each series is sent individually and once the participant has completed it, we make the next one available. The time interval between one lesson and another is a minimum of seven days, so each series can be completed in a month, where there are no maximum limits, since the course remains available via the archive access link. During the course it is also possible to share your experiences for each lesson, ask questions and be accompanied by a mentor.

Access to the course requires membership in the Institutum Provisorium cultural association, click here, and payment of the enrollment fee (€10) for the current year. We suggest a donation of €40 for each series, which includes all course materials and the optional ability to send exercises, sharing and questions to a mentor. The entire course can be purchased with a suggested donation of € 150. Discounts and scholarships are possible, as well as donations exceeding the amount indicated to allow us to bear the costs for publications, maintenance, research, scholarships and overheads.

Interspiritual Healing Retreat, 5-6, 7-9 August 2023

Casale in Lunigiana, 5-6, 7-9 August 2023, Interspiritual Healing Retreat
with Franco Santoro

An ideal opportunity to promote inner and collective awareness and healing through the use of interspiritual practices, multidimensional astroshamanic healing work and relationship with nature. We will alternate periods of silence and dialogue, stillness and movement, relaxation and activity, leisure and work, solitude and community life, bringing attention to both the visible and invisible world.

These retreats are for those who intend to take a leap in the discovery and manifestation of their most authentic talents and potentials, in order to benefit themselves and others, being aware that this cannot happen without a direct relationship with the spiritual reality and God.

The week is a multidimensional, interspiritual training process dedicated to exploring one’s inner and outer life purpose. In alignment with the Leo summer cycle, the seminar explores the different stages of vision development, closely following the way in which the vocation of the participants is articulated, providing opportunities for its externalization and expression.

The seminars also aim to demonstrate how even seemingly insurmountable obstacles can be used to make the most authentic dreams come true. In any moment of life, including the darkest ones, we are never alone and there are immense forces willing to give us support, if only we are ready to receive it.

Soul Retrieval and Multidimensional First Aid, 15-16, 17-19 July 2023

Casale in Lunigiana, 15-16 July; July 17-19, 2023, Soul retrieval and multidimensional first aid course, with Franco Santoro

The practice of soul retrieval is based on the awareness that life’s most painful problems are due to the loss of parts of our being, which we need to identify and recover, restoring them to their integrity. In the course we will use references to astrological archetypes, to Western and Middle Eastern spiritual traditions integrated with multidimensional awareness.

During this course, you will learn the following, God willing:

a) how to identify the different parts of your being, the parallel worlds, the energies operating inside and outside you and the matrix of every expression of life, through an experiential system of soul anatomy.
b) how to locate and contact your inner guidance and open yourself to the mystery of higher and multidimensional realities, including the pure presence of God, receiving direct teachings in order to apply them in ordinary life.
c) how to discover and develop your true skills and talents, learning to share them with others to promote healing and well-being in your environment.
d) how to allow every aspect of your nature, including the darkest and most embarrassing ones, to be accepted and transformed into a powerful fertilizer aimed at fertilizing your gifts and promoting healing.
e) how to use the body as an instrument of consciousness expansion and multidimensional liberation, operating with integrity and transparency.

This seminar consists of two parts: July 15-16, 2023; Basic Soul Retrieval Workshop (required workshop), July 17-19, 2023 Soul Retrieval Training.

Multidimensional Communication, 26-28 May 2023

with Franco Santoro.

To relate with other realities and dimensions, with the invisible world, with luminous spirits and ultimately with God it is firstly necessary to get out of the narrow confines of ordinary human communication, from the barbed wire of single thought, as well as from the autism of a single language and culture. If we are intolerant, hostile, or indifferent to other human cultures, if we refuse to engage in dialogue with the diversity of ideas and visions existing in our own visible world, how can we expect to relate to what exists beyond? It is painful to realize the misunderstandings, deceptions and hostility that characterize a large part of human communication, but it is even more painful to acknowledge how much this compromises our ability to relate to the inner world and to alternative realities from which comes the only source of healing for our world. There are ultimately only two types of thoughts and forms of communication. On the one hand there are thoughts based on separation, dualism and conflict, on the other hand there are thoughts of harmony and unification. Every thought and word we express helps to sustain separation or unity. In this multilingual seminar, aligned with the element of air and the sign of Gemini, we examine the sphere of ordinary and non-ordinary communications, thought processes and their multidimensional connections, and different methods of non-ordinary communication intended to promote healing and liberation.

The seminar takes place from the afternoon (4.00 pm) of 26 May to 6.00 pm on 28 May 2023, at the Casale in Lunigiana (Massa).
