ADVANCED SHAMANISM 2012 AND BEYOND
Launch your shamanic practice into the future with this exciting new series!
Designed around the latest material coming through Gwilda's writings, private practice and advanced classes, Advanced Shamanism 2012 and beyond will put you on the leading edge of modern day shamanism.
BLOCK 1:
ANTIMATTER
Instructor: Gwilda Wiyaka DD CSI
Hours: 14
Cost: $350.00
When: Saturday and Sunday, February 25-26, 2012, 10:00a - 5:30p

Prerequisites: Graduation from Path Home Shamanic Arts School's Two Year Shamanic Practitioner Certification Program or special permission from Gwilda
Galactic center and the black hole it contains is the macro rendition of an eye of the needle. It is at this point that everything is subject to a polarity shift. What lies on one side is equal and opposite of that which resides on the other. One side (our side) has more matter than anti-matter. The other side has more anti-matter than matter. When the earth's axis points to galactic center, shamanically speaking, there is an energetic interaction from the planet Earth on one side of galactic center to her counterpart on the other. During this time we have an opportunity to rebalance ourselves with our equal but opposite counter parts and a whole lot of sorting starts going on.
In this class we will explore what this means to us as individuals as well as shamanic practitioners. We will delve deeper into the evolving times and our roles in it. Techniques will be offered to assist our clients and ourselves in rebalancing on a galactic level in order to effectively live as multidimensional galactic human beings in the powerful times to come.

BREAK ON THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE:
Psychopomping: The Art of Crossing the Dead
A Gathering of Shaman Elective
Instructor: Gwilda Wiyaka DD CSI
Hours: 7
Cost: $175.00
When: Saturday, April 21, 2012, 10:00a - 5:30p
Where: Berthoud, CO
Prerequisites: Lower World and Upper World Shamanic Journey, Power Animals & Helping Spirits, Sacred Space, Beginning Soul Retrieval or permission from Gwilda
A psychopomp is a person who conducts spirits or souls to the other world, and is derived from the Greek word meaning “conductor of souls”. The almost forgotten art of Psychopomping has never been more needed in these rapidly changing and accelerating times. Many of our people are dying sudden deaths; in auto accidents, while undergoing anesthesia, in natural disasters and from other sudden or unexpected events. Many of these ones do not realize they are dead. Those who have died and hold beliefs and fears installed courtesy of our Judeo-Christian society may decide to stay put in middle world, rather than risk ending up in the fabled “hell”.
As a result, middle world has become one cluttered mess with many disembodied spirits suffering needlessly.
This advanced and comprehensive class is designed for students interested in performing this much needed service for the dead and dying. Students will learn the techniques of Psychopomping in depth; including information about differences in working with humans and animals. Detailed information about preparing the dying to cross will also be a part of this advanced class.
Are you one of a select few who have the pre-requisites to learn and hone the shamanic art of Psychopomping? This skill has never been more important or more needed. Please join us on April 21, 2012 to learn this forgotten art, and bring it to those ‘on your wire’ and in your life.

SHAMANIC SOLUTIONS FOR TOMORROW
It is becoming clear to most of us that the things we used to take for granted are no longer reliable. The answers to questions such as "What is a safe investment?" "Where is a good place to live?" "How can I make a living?" can no longer be based on what has been considered "tried and true". As our future becomes increasingly divergent our usual ways of operating in the world are failing. We can no longer predict our immediate future based upon our recent past. We need to find new navigational tools.
Ironic as it may seem, the very tools we now need were developed and used by our ancient ancestors. Shamanic societies knew how to access reliable information for guidance that was not based upon past experiences, yet true shamanic information is consistently both accurate in the moment and into the future.
Find out how this is possible and how you too can learn to apply these ancient tools in your life.
In this series from Map Home and Gwilda Wiyaka you will learn the basic shamanic concepts, skills and tools necessary to navigate the exciting new terrain of our future.

A NEW WORLD EMERGING (Premiering in Berthoud, CO)
Change is upon us. Though some may choose to try, it is becoming increasingly impossible to ignore. This new Map Home Series is designed for those of us that are called to be of service in these exciting new times. Discernment of safe passage for ourselves and others requires us to unearth and implement ancient skills employed during the last cycle of change.

- The skill of living in the present and reading the near future rather than relying on past events for guidance
- Standing in our truth and our gifts in order to be of service

From tsunamis, earthquakes and changing weather patterns to economic failure it is hard not to notice that change is upon us. New shamanic information indicates there is more change to come and sooner than we may think.
As the old structures fail, we all need viable sustainable options to the old dying systems. Increasingly, people need a place to find guidance and direction in a world that no longer seems to make sense.
At the same time, many of us have carried with us a deep calling to be of service yet we have yet to truly understand what that service is. We come from all walks of life and very divergent occupations. Our gifts are many and seemingly unrelated.
Take heart, these are the times we came for.
This workshop is designed to share the new information about the changes on our horizon and our personal places of service within the new world emerging.

New information has come in indicating we may be in for much larger change than we had hoped and much sooner than we may have imagined.
We will spend time with Gwilda and each other delving deeper into the latest shamanic information and the implications there of.

THE ART OF SACRED LIVING (Premiering in Steamboat Springs, CO)
In the wake of the March 11, 2011 earthquake, tsunami and potential nuclear catastrophe, it has never been more evident that our current systems are not balanced or sustainable. The governments, economies and lifestyles of the world have become unwieldy and inefficient. When faced with the natural movement of the earth from which we have become increasingly detached, we find we are indeed living in castles made of sand.
It was not so with our ancestors. Until relatively recent times, native peoples have lived on all of our continents in harmony with the land and, for the most part, each other. One of the keys to the success of these seemingly simple peoples was the art of shamanism which was practiced by all indigenous societies. Shamanism is an earth based modality that enables the practitioner of shamanic skills to access information about the land upon which they live in order to create and live abundantly in harmony with the earth, her cycles and her movements.
It is not practical, nor is it desirable to return to the hunter/gatherer or nomadic lifestyle of our ancestors yet, by combining the shamanic wisdom of our elders with the technology of today we can actually create a way of being that is far superior to what we now have.
A modern day example of the ancient art of shamanism is the water dowser. A good dowser is still considered the most economical and reliable way to choose the sight for water wells for homes being built away from municipal supplies. With our rapidly changing weather patterns and now the actual shifting of continents there has never been a better time to get inside information about our environment. In this series of classes you will learn how to take the guess work out of panting, gardening and building and how to live in harmony with the land and the way nature works.
In this exciting new Map Home program, designed to prepare us for life beyond 2012, Gwilda helps her students access and wield shamanic ancient skills, techniques and information combined with modern technology in order to build a sustainable abundant future.

The quality of all we do in our lives is dependent upon the quality of our environment. Yet the beauty of a garden, a building or a waterfall has been overcome by what we have come to see as practicality. Beauty and sacredness is by its very nature a higher frequency than sterile expediency. When we learn to create high frequency environments for all we do, all we do is much more supportive and productive.
Foods prepared and consumed in sanctuary are more delicious and easily absorbed. Animals brought up in a sacred way are healthier and longer lived. Buildings built in cooperation with the natural beauty of their surroundings and with the natural principals of energy flow are more sustainable and longer lasting. People living in the high frequency of sanctuary are less stressed, healthier and more creative.
At the close of this course, each student will have the tools necessary to apply these principles to a specific area or all areas of their lives. The implementation of these basic principles will result in a more beautiful sustainable life.

From industrialized farming, land development to our educational systems our “modern” practices are no longer serving. Our resources are dwindling while pollution and damaging manipulation are rendering our sustenance (be it physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual) virtually unusable. Food prices skyrocket while quality diminishes through use of genetically modified plants, and chemical fertilizers and pesticides to premature harvest and expensive long-distance shipping. Our people are getting sicker, our economies crashing and our children can no longer find their way out of a paper bag without a digital GPS.
In short, we have gotten too big for our britches and no one is tending the fire. It is past time to take back control of our local resources. Through modern use of ancient principles we can once again be the responsible stewards of our worlds and lives. In this leading edge class you will learn the ancient art of stewardship in relationship and cooperation with the natural flow of life. These stewardship principles can be applied to any aspect of your career or home life and are the key to living in abundance and comfort during these transformative times.
THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL SELF
In this exciting new program, designed to prepare us for life beyond 2012, Gwilda helps her students access and wield their spiritual multidimensionality. The amazing results: Healing, increased personal empowerment, and enhanced ability to manifest.

There is much talk of "grounding" in spiritual circles. In order to wield spiritual principals in the physical we must be able to "ground". Manifestation, as well as healing, requires "grounding" in the physical yet what grounding truly is and how to achieve it remains an untapped mystery. In this class will you not only learn to effectively ground but you will receive the understanding and healing necessary to do so.
We share the earth with many wonderfully wise, (middle world) spirits that have been honored by our ancestors from all nationalities. They are reemerging during these times of intense transformation to support the earth during the evolutionary process. The Sidth (she) people, faeries, earth spirits, divas and elementals will not only be studied but contacted and consulted in order to build your personal team in the "Under World". (not to be confused with lower world) The earth dragon folk may even make an appearance.
If you have interest in personal healing, manifestation and spiritual evolution or even assisting the process of our planet, this is a class not to be missed.

"The Matrix is the world that has been pulled over your eyes."
Understanding the nature of reality is paramount in creating our own rather than being subject to that which has been created for us. One of the first steps in personal empowerment and the ability to manifest the life we wish to live is the ability to see beyond the myth that has been and continues to be programmed into us all.
In this leading edge class we will journey to the realm where reality is being created and examine the "truths" upon which our lives have been based. The nature of truth will be delved into as will the power (and limitations) of our belief systems. We will look at where our power is actually going and who is being served. Tools will be offered to walk out of the myth and recreate your reality.
Rest assured, this class will rock your world and, if you are willing, set you free.

When: Next dates TBD
Prerequisites: Lower World Shamanic Journey or Upper World Shamanic Journey
Deep empathy is the hallmark of every exceptional healer regardless the modality, yet it is a skill that has been mostly left untrained, unrefined and devalued by our healing arts training. It is amazing how much of the information and feelings we experience is not our own but from those around us. The trick is learning to filter, discern and interpret what we are receiving. In this class, we will uncover and refine our empathy and put it to work for us in our practice and daily lives.

Personalized, shamanically "worked" ceremonial tools are a necessity
for any powerful reliable shamanic practice. In this two-day class we will build
the two most important "tools of the trade", a drum and a rattle.
The drum will be a Native American style, hand held hoop drum. We will be using elk raw hide for the drum head and maple drum hoops. Drum beaters will also be built using deer skin and bamboo. If you desire, Gwilda will shamanically attune your drum to your personal birth cord.
The rattle head will be made of elk raw hide. Various furs and leathers will
be available for decoration. There will also be an assortment of traditional
objects to put inside and give your rattle its voice. We will cover in depth
shamanic "working" of sacred tools, a skill that then can be applied
to any other tools you care to create in the future.
All tools needed, will be provided. There will be a materials fee which covers

Other reliable methods of divination available to us in our everyday lives will also be covered.

Advanced Manifestation Samhain and The Battle of the Evil Fomorians
The time of year has once again arrived when the veil is the thinnest between worlds. This is the time when our normally soft spoken gentle shamanic healers strap on their weapons, let out a shrieking battle cry and go to war to protect their people from the ravages of the Evil Fomorians.
When old wishes, intents and dreams that never came to fruition threaten to hold our personal power hostage, these brave souls risk life and spiritual limb to rip asunder the Fomorian bindings that tie up our energy and power to create.
This year, the last Samhain before 2012, promises to be the most violent battle yet. For this reason Path Home and Gwilda Wiyaka are putting out a call to all of our shamanic friends that have previously stood with us in battle to take the work to another level.
This could well be the battle that ends all battles.
Only the brave need apply.
Participation in the Battle of the Evil Fomorians will be restricted to the participants of Advanced Manifestation Samhain (sow-een or sow’-inn). These powerful practitioners will become the “Special Ops” (Special Operatives) of the shamanic world.
Do you have all the right stuff?

Samhain is a seasonal Celtic holiday during which the power of the West is honored. The West is the season of fall, harvest, sorting and discernment. It is the time to dismantle what no longer serves freeing up the energy to manifest what we choose for our future.
This advanced class is designed for students interested in delving more deeply into the necessary destruction involved in true manifestation. We will unearth profound understandings enabling us to free up the personal power that has been tied up in old wishes, intents and dreams that never came to fruition.
Traditionally, during this time, shamanic practitioners gather together to break up energies that cause disruption and misfortune. The dismantling of the conscious and unconscious energies of unfinished projects, half-created dreams and plans helps to create clear space in which to manifest for the following year. This is an ancient responsibility to one’s tribe, embraced in some form by shaman of all cultures.
The evening of the program we will perform an advanced form of the ancient ritual (generously brought to us by Tom Cowan's teachings) "The Battle of the Evil Fomorians".
Due to the skill set required, only those that have participated in the Advanced Manifestation Samhain class will be invited to join us in this powerful ceremony for and in responsibility to our people.

Our culture has been so long without shamanic healing that most clients haven’t a clue what ails them or how to make sense of soul retrieval once they have had one. Furthermore, they often are so identified with the defense mechanisms developed to compensate for soul loss that a form of identity crisis may follow the healing.
This class is designed to teach the skills of stewarding clients through this sometimes challenging time.

The drum is the best friend of the shamanic practitioner. Drumming grounds us, takes us on our journeys, focuses healings and integrates spiritual work into our bodies. The trick is...playing it and walking at the same time!
This class is designed with that very dilemma in mind. The side benefits are an unexpected left brain right brain integration and a stretching of what we think is possible for us rhythm-wise.

"Fragmentation and the resulting rift in our personal space create specific recurring patterns and events that run like threads through our lives." -Gwilda Wiyaka
During this advanced 3-day residential workshop we will explore a powerful technique, developed by Gwilda over her years as a shamanic practitioner. It involves a unique method of journeying into life patterns to track down soul loss and hidden judgments and enchantments that cripple our lives.
Time will be spent on honing our middle world journey skills to better "read" a client or ourselves in order to locate clues and insights into soul loss and the resulting compensations. This information, in turn, can be used to help integrate soul parts and better understand the unconscious use of personal energy.
We will work on empathic listening skills as well as spiritual counseling methods that are the hallmark of this powerful work.

By popular demand, this 2-day nonresidential class will prepare the shamanic student to deal with birth, dying and helping spirits cross the veil after death. A once long lost and now little practiced art, psycopomping (helping the dead cross) is much needed in our culture where people are no longer aided in crossing and often fail to find their way.
