Tired of this show
Day and night, sun and moon, light and darkness, keep alternating in this reality. We can spend our life striving to support light and release darkness. We can also accept to be merely spectators, allowing light and darkness to keep playing their games. And when we are tired of this show, go somewhere else.

If life is hard
If life is hard please be aware that there are qualities in hardness which can be used for your benefit. And if you truly long for softness please realise that hardness can move deep down into the core of softness.

Astroshamanic Healing, 25-27 November 2016, Arafo, Tenerife, Canarias
With Franco Santoro.
Awakening your Multidimensional Self, Astroshamanic Healing Intensive, 25-27 November 2016.
There are infinite dimensions and layers of reality. What we acknowledge as our human ordinary reality is for many shamanic traditions merely an arbitrary configuration populated by duplications of our true multidimensional self. Most human beings remain at the level of this separated reality, fixed in time and space, based on the cult of the ego and the denial of other realities. Astroshamanic healing aims at reawakening the awareness of our original nature, expanding beyond the limits of ordinary perception and experiencing the fluidity of time. The work involves establishing direct communication with the multidimensional self as well as with spirit beings abiding in other realms, yet deeply connected with the essence of our true nature.
This process is ultimately intended to heal our hallucinatory perception based on separation and unveil the authentic unity of the web of life. For this purpose Astroshamanism employs various techniques, all aligned with the common foundation of opening the unconditional loving “heart”. This is not necessarily an easy enterprise. It entails moving into troubled personal and collective zones where the heart is blocked, unleashing grievances and restoring love. Yet according to many shamans we are all here to venture into this journey, which once accepted, can become a most ecstatic dance, a blissful game.
During this workshop Franco Santoro will share advanced aspects of astroshamanic work through direct experiential work and inspiring insights.
The programme includes: time-space voyages, astroshamanic healing trance dance and touch, multi-dimensional release practices and rituals.
The workshop takes place in a superb natural area near Arafo, in the island of Terife (Canary Islands, Spain). From Friday, 25 November, 6 pm, to Sunday, 27 November, 5 pm.

Greatest conflict
The greatest conflict we experience as human beings involves what we are told and obliged to feel about ourselves, our sexuality, relationships and life, as opposed to what we truly feel about them.
There is no way we can aim for a better or less painful world unless this conflict is openly exposed and healed.

A gift for you
There is a gentle gift for you today, like on any other day, if you only dare to embrace your truth.
All you need to do is to be open to receive it and then most of all remember that you have received it.
Hence, express your truth, what gives you most joy and sense of purpose. Do this firmly from within. Then, look around, be attentive and wait for a sign.
It will come to you, trust me.
It has already come many times, and what will come to you is merely the memory of those times, the awareness that those times will return in the future and, most of all, are here in the present.

The end of relationships
The paradox of human relationships is that no matter how different they are, the have all the same end.
The drama of this paradox is that this end tends to be ignored, repressed, feared, delayed and opposed.
It follows that when the relationship takes place it is very rare for most people to openly address the end of the relationship itself, so that when the end is unavoidable the parties involved are often unprepared and taken by surprise.
The end of relationships is the end of the relationship. All human relationships are bound to end, without any exception either during life or with death. Hence the ultimate aim of a relationship involves ending the relationship in the best possible way.
Yes, sure, at an energetic, subtle, multidimensional and spiritual level the relationship continues. Yet the crude pragmatic reality is that on the physical level the relationship is over.
Our love is truly honest only if we accept and honour that the relationship is going to end at the physical level.

Towards a Multidimensional Sexuality, 3-5 August 2016, Merizzo (Massa, Italy)
3-5 August 2016, a shamanic soul retrieval workshop on sexuality and intimate relationships
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 17:00 on 3 August 2016 and ends at around 18:00 on 5 August 2016.

Healing the Fragmented Heart, 27 August-2 September 2016, Findhorn (Scotland)
Healing the Fragmented Heart: An Astroshamanic Journey in Spiritual Intimacy and Loving Relationships, 27 August-2 September 2016, Findhorn Foundation.
With Franco Santoro
This is a unique workshop in which relationships are explored from a spiritual, holistic, shamanic, as well as pragmatic perspective with the aim of healing connections with partners, relatives, friends and significant people in one’s 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, which we identify strategically in all its possible parts through the astrological cosmology.
The workshop involves a process of review and energy assessment of our human interactions, with the aim of gaining empowerment and wholeness, supporting and implementing relationships aligned with our authentic soul purpose. You will learn to use healing tools that allow you to continue the healing work beyond this week, providing a solid basis for more advanced practices.
The workshop is designed for all types of relationships, encompassing couples in intimate or platonic connections, partnerships in work, service or spirituality, rapports with friends and relatives. Participants of all genders and sexual orientations are welcome. No previous knowledge or experience of shamanism or astrology is required.

I love you
I LOVE YOU
There are three steps in saying “I love you” with integrity.
1) First make sure that you are fully aware of the “I” devoid of any verb or object pronoun. In other words you need to ask yourself “who am I?” and continue to do so till you get a clear and no-nonsense answer. Be patient since this may take some time.
2) Secondly you need to find out what you truly mean by “love”. There is a huge variety of meanings given to this word. For example, is it “eros” (sexual desire), “philia” (love and affection between friends), “storge” (related to the love between parents and children), “agape” (unconditional love or the love of God) or what is it exactly for you? Be patient since this may take some time.
3) Thirdly, make sure that you clarify what you mean by “you”, is it the physical body of someone, their mind, their personality, their spiritual side? And also verify whether this “you” is just a fantasy in your mind, a projection of yourself. If you are truly honest this is very likely to be the case, implying that you need to return to step one.
