Multidimensional Sexuality 2017
18-19 June 2017, Merizzo (Massa, Italy), Multidimensional Sexuality, with Franco Santoro.
with Franco Santoro.
This is a unique workshop, which explores sexuality and intimate relationships from a multidimensional and shamanic perspective with the aim of healing connections with yourself, partners, relatives, friends and significant people in your life.
Drawing from the astroshamanic healing approach, we will track and release blocks that inhibit the capacity to express our true sexuality, identifying the underlying issues that hinder relationships, promoting compassion, healing, peace and fulfilment.
The workshop is designed for all types of relationships, encompassing couples in intimate or platonic connections, work partnerships, service and spirituality, as well as, rapports with friends and relatives.
“For ages on our planet conflicts around sex issues have been a major cause of suffering, addiction and frustration. As we move into a path of rapid spiritual reawakening it is vital to acknowledge these wounds and strenuously promote ways to heal them. From a multidimensional perspective sex is a symbolic representation of the energy pervading the web of life, often described as an ongoing multidimensional intercourse between the earth and the sky, the seen and the unseen.
Many healers and also ordinary, yet highly sensitive, people stand on the threshold of this copulation, right at the point where polarities meet, between the ordinary and non-ordinary, day and night, life and death. Whether they know it or not, they are intensely tied to the essence of creation, stirring up the energy and using it to sustain the web of life. As they do so, they are involved in healing soul-fragmentation, which is the result of belief systems based on separation and the cause of all fears held in our culture.
People who are aware of this healing process work at an archetypal or collective level, as opposed to the personal or self-centred levels most individuals operate from. As a result, they constantly move to different ways of perceiving and using sex energy. Due to the conventional denial and distortion of such themes, this can be unsettling for them and their relationships…” (read on at http://astroshamanism.org/sexuality-holistic-awareness-and-shamanism/)
The event starts at 10:30 on Saturday and ends at around 18:00 on Sunday.
The event takes place at il Casale in Lunigiana, a centre of light, based in nature, entirely surrounded by the Apuan Alps and the Appenine, brooks, on the Via Francigena in the historical territory of Lunigiana.

Astroshamanic Samhain Intensive
28 October – 1 November 2017, Atlanta, Georgia (United States), Astroshamanic Samhain Intensive, with Franco Santoro.
This time of the year is associated with the shadow 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 this seasons cycle, death, passion, rebirth. We will use advanced practices of astroshamanic soul retrieval, exploring shadow aspects and the rapport with our ancestors.
We will use the astrological chart as a living field to explore experientially the key elements of our passion, how to activate and direct it towards what we consciously choose to create in life. The event takes place during the Celtic festival of Samhain, Halloween or All Saints’ Eve.
The workshop consists of one weekend (28-29 October 2017 ), followed by an advanced workshop (30 October – 1 November 2017).
When we address our ancestors we relate with the most ancient parts of ourself. Ancestors, besides giving us support and guidance, can also hold major grievances and pass down destructive models of behaviour or belief systems. Such grievances constitute the root cause of all our current, as well as collective, problems in life.
When strong conflicts develop among couples, lovers, friends, relatives, colleagues or people casually met, what actually happens is that the same conditions that once engendered separation and pain are being reproduced in the present for correction.
These situations are momentous for healing as they allow to face the opportunity to invert the trend of separation, to forgive and open up portals in my conscience.
We will employ the astrological chart as a map to identify and explore experientially and shamanically the healing dynamics of our relationship
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.
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.

The code puts together the number of the Sun’s sign followed by the number of the Moon’s sign and the Ascendant (when applicable) separated by a dot.
Hence, for Sun in Libra and Moon in Aries, and Ascendant in Scorpio, the reference is 7.1.8.
Other codes you may find with the trinity code are those related with conjunction (cjn) aspects between Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Sun, Moon, Ascendant (Asc), Medium Coeli (MC), Immum Coeili (IC).

Imbolc
The peak of Winter brings creative emptiness and silence, shortly before the emerging fullness and verbosity of Spring, which is anticipated by the Celtic feast of Imbolc, the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Spring brings profuse activity and manifestation, which can either serve healing and unity or illusion and separation. This can be a time of acute reflection and questioning about our underlying drive to be creative and involved in manifestation of any kind. Is it our thrill to generate merely a monkeyish imitation urge to miserably add something to the misery of this world and thus protract the chains of a separated reality? Are we purely covering up with ostensible glorious creations the fright of our robotic extinction and the compelling propagation of separation?
This time of the year, preceding the potential lunacy of Spring, is vital for purifying ourselves of those traits which keep us unconscious and numb, activating a challenging Aquarian alertness and casting provoking doubts on whatever we take for granted regarding what we do or are supposed to do. Does this world continue to be the place it is because of the wicked deeds of a minority of tyrants and conspirators? Or is it the result of what the majority of people mechanically, yet heinously, continue to perpetuate, while unquestionably considering it as the highest course of action?
This time of the year is more a period of questions rather than answers. And the questions we are invited to strenuously formulate are here those that we have never dared, or even thought, to ask. The answers to such questions are part of our binding conditioned programming. They function as compulsory statements, which inescapably delete also the idea of framing questions.
We need to retrieve the capacity to express those unmentionable queries that have been expurgated from our mind into an out of bound zone, dense with shame and terror. It is only through the resolute reawakening of our uncontaminated enquiring mind that the seed of multidimensional liberty may either give birth to an alternative creation or let consensus reality develop its stories, while diving into the ecstatic acceptance of what is beyond its forlorn creation.
These winter months are part of a process of transformation rather than suppression or eradication. They involve being honest regarding our grievances and flaws, without feeing discouraged by their repetitive patterns. Here we need to acknowledge that perseverance is a primary attribute on the path of transformation and that all grievances are distorted expressions of most radiant qualities. Hence, instead of getting frustrated or overwhelmed by guilt whenever faults arise, the invitation is to detect what type of shining values they are misrepresenting and deforming. The question is: how can we transform our weaknesses into healing power?
Happy Imbolc!

Multidimensional Communication
Workshop with Franco Santoro
3-5 June 2017, Merizzo (Massa, Italy), Multidimensional Communication, with Franco Santoro.
Our thoughts and words cause tangible effects in the environment. There are only two types of thoughts and forms of communication. On one side there are thoughts based on separation and our split identity, on the other there are thoughts emanating from our united self and aligned with the web of life. Each thought and word that we express contributes either to uphold separation or unity.
Communication is ongoing, no matter whether you think on your own or express your thoughts with others, you either communicate separation or unity, fear or love. Thus any moment offers the opportunity of supporting healing connections and stepping out of separation.
These connections involve whomever or whatever we physically interact with, as well as whomever or whatever comes to our thoughts or emotions. In multidimensional terms there is no difference in value between a physical and a mental or emotional interaction. We are communicating at all times, and again, in any second of life, I can choose between separation and unity, fear and love.
In this workshop we explore communication from a multidimensional and shamanic perspective with the aim of promoting pragmatic healing in our daily life.
The workshop is also a shamanic celebration of Pentecost.

Training in Astroshamanic Healing & Soul Retrieval
With Franco Santoro.
This training is part of the Foundation Training in Astroshamanism and represents a full initiation to astroshamanic healing, soul retrieval and astroshamanic touch as tools for soul retrieval and multidimensional awareness.
The training consists of four workshops: two introductory weekends (1-2 July 2017, and 8-9 July 2017), which can be taken independently without attending the training workshops, and two training workshops (3-6 July 2017 and 10-13 July 2017), which requires participation to the introductory weekend. It is possible to take part in only one of the two weekend or training workshops.
1-2; 3-6 July 2017, Merizzo (Massa), Astroshamanic Healing, training with Franco Santoro.
8-9; 10-13 July 2017, Merizzo (Massa), Astroshamanic Touch, training with Franco Santoro.
For details on astroshamanic touch please click here.
The first workshops (1-2; 3-6 July 2017, Merizzo (Massa), Astroshamanic Healing, training with Franco Santoro) involve a process of recapitulation and energy assessment of our human interactions, aimed at identifying and healing soul losses due to past relationships or engagements with ordinary reality.
TSoul 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. Franco can help at various levels of this process.
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.
The weekend workshops start at around 10:30 on Saturday and end on Sunday at around 6 pm. It is possible to arrive earlier. The training starts on Mondays and ends on Fridays at around 2 pm. It is possible to stay extra days and take part in further workshops of the Foundation Training in Astroshamanism for the whole month of July.

Training week and weekend workshop: Euro 415
