Working with light
Working with light has nothing to do with always looking at the bright side of life. It is actually about looking at the darkest side of life, whatever causes pain, shame and denial, allowing it to shine in acknowledgment, acceptance and healing.

Fear
The only possible fear is the fear of yourself, which is also the only impossible fear.
Greatest challenge
The greatest challenge in your life is to accept the unacceptable within yourself.

Successes and failures in love
Love is not a performance or a competitive activity, in which you have to make a good impression or get a good score.
Love is something that you feel deep within yourself, a direct experience, which nobody can judge or question.
The only success or failure in love, if using those terms means that much to you, is whether you are able or not to acknowledge the love that keeps being there despite what you believe to be your successes or failures in love.

Full Moon in Capricorn
by Quino (born with full moon in Capricorn)
Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others (Marianne Williamson, born with Full Moon in Capricorn)
The Moon is full in Capricorn at 4:06 GMT on 9 July 2017.
Sun in Cancer and Moon in Capricorn bring about a major capacity of initiative between two natures operating in distinct fields, which can either cause extreme tension or manifest amazing creative achievements.
Cancer and Capricorn are both cardinal signs, which are those placed at the four cardinal points of the compass and indicate the start of each season. They represent the active and leading temperament, what sets the sense of direction. Hence, the urge for action and expression is strongly emphasized in this Full Moon. If we are confused or in conflict regarding our sense of direction, tension and issues may develop during these days. Yet, this same tension, once it is unveiled, can draw empowering energy and promote significant developments, if we have the courage to embrace our authentic calling, regardless of what the majority of people think and do.
The qualities of both Cancer and Capricorn build up, gathering and concentrating energy aimed at prompt creative expression. The Cancer part promotes protection, care and security while the Capricorn element emphasises responsibility, discipline, ambition and the implementation of pragmatic intentions.

With Franco Santoro
Soul retrieval is based on the understanding that most painful issues we experience are due to the fact that significant parts of our souls are trapped or lost. When this is the case individuals sense that a vital part of themselves is missing, feel regularly stuck or in a vicious circle, at times experiencing severe disruption and misery in their life. The task is to identify and retrieve these missing parts, restoring them into the wholeness of the individual.
In astroshamanism the 12 signs of the zodiac strategically represent the complete setting of the soul. In traditional soul retrieval sessions the client usually remains passive and unconscious, while the practitioner does all the work.
In Franco Santoro’s astroshamanic soul retrieval sessions, clients are fully present and directly involved in the process, while the practitioner supports and guides them. Soul retrieval here involves first the acknowledgement of the missing parts and their original separation, followed by their search and retrieval. Franco’s approach also aims at effectively restoring those parts, by returning luminous talents, allowing their harmonious integration in accordance with the client’s intention.
Participants will learn to use healing tools that allow them to continue the healing work autonomously after the workshop, providing a solid basis for more advanced practices.

Astroshamanic Healing Touch, 9-10 September 2017 (Merizzo, Italy)
9-10 September 2017, with Franco Santoro
Astroshamanic Healing Touch is a shamanic bodywork application of astroshamanism. Its aim is to explore the body’s spontaneous energies of ecstasy, uncovering and directing their healing potentials with integrity and clarity of intention.
Drawing from the practices of ancient mystery schools and the astrological wisdom, Astroshamanic Touch works on the multidimensional body, through the empowering use of shamanic trance, according to clear boundaries and in alignment with planetary rhythms.
The horoscope is grounded on the physical body, allowing the richness of the astrological archetype to become alive and provide pragmatic awareness of their nature
The physical body is a dynamic vortex continually relating with a multidimensional field of energy. Yet what we humanly perceive about the body is mainly the product of belief systems based on separation and the denial of our holistic nature. When we are open to release these belief systems and forms of conditioning, new and much more exciting configurations emerge. Once these are consciously and pragmatically experienced, they can be gradually integrated into everyday reality, healing the fragmented self and reconnecting it to its original source.
During this workshop we explore ways of employing the physical body to foster expanded states of consciousness, retrieve soul parts, reawaken healing talents and allow these to integrate into everyday life.
The intent is to release blocks that hinder our potentials, celebrating the sacredness of our multidimensional body in alignment with the healing flow of energy.
With deep trance bodywork, we share ways of channelling profound passions, transforming and merging them in accordance with our life purpose.
The weekend workshop starts at around 10:30 on Saturday and ends at 18 on Sunday. It is possible to stay extra days for deepening the work.

Restoring the Fragmented Heart Turin
Restoring the Fragmented Heart: an Astroshamanic Journey in Spiritual Intimacy and Loving Relationships, Giaveno (Turin, Italy), 23-24 September 2017
With Franco Santoro
This is a unique workshop in which you will explore relationships from a spiritual, holistic and shamanic, as well as pragmatic perspective with the aim of healing connections with partners, relatives, friends and significant people in your life.
Relationships are gateways into other dimensions, whatever and whoever we have separated ourselves from. They can be very challenging at times, for they shed light upon all our denials and fears, forcing us to come to terms with who we truly are.
Through tracking and releasing blocks to our capacity to love and identifying the underlying issues that hamper relationships, we can promote healing, fulfilment and peace.
We will employ astrology as a map to identify and explore experientially the dynamics of our relationships. We will use astroshamanic tools for healing and soul retrieval aimed at acknowledging and restoring the full spectrum of our true holistic nature.
The workshop is designed for all types of relationships, encompassing couples in intimate or platonic connections, partnerships in work, service or spirituality and rapport with friends and relatives. Participants of all genders and sexual orientations are welcome.
In order for this workshop to take place we require a minimum of 12 participants by 20 May. If you intend to take part please contact us as soon as possible.
Cost: £ 120, conc. £ 95, further reductions are available for those who cannot afford the full and concession price (please contact us).
Deposit: £ 50
The workshop takes place in Giaveno (Turin, Italy), at centro Anima, via Valgioie 22.

Believers and workers
If you are a true believer, you keep believing even when what you believe in, does not work.
If you are a true worker, you keep believing in what works even when you don’t believe in what works.

Distance
The distance we physically perceive amongst us is just a belief, a third-dimensional illusion.
This illusion stifles our multidimensional potential and the ability to be close both in time and space.
Hence, when the distance from something or someone causes misery in your life, be very careful because you may be a victim of this illusion.
This illusion is poison for your soul and for whoever you are beyond the physical body.
What I say above may be sheer nonsense, yet if there is only the slightest chance that distance is an illusion, that we are not separate from each other, that there is much more that we are besides our physical body, maybe it’s worth considering it.
This is not a belief. I do not believe that distance is an illusion, just as I do not believe that it is a reality.
I am not interested in beliefs.
What matters for me is direct experience, whether I believe it or not.
My direct experience is that distance and separation are illusions.
This is an experience I wish to share with you.
