New Heal the Healer Workshop Series

The monthly “Heal the Healer” workshops are taking a new direction!  You are invited to receive the Rites of the Munay-Ki over the next several months. 

What are the Rites of the Munay-Ki?

The Q’ero have a prophecy that they will share their wisdom with the West.  The Rites of the Munay-Ki are one way of sharing that wisdom. The Rites are 10 energetic transmissions into your energy field.  The first nine were given to Alberto Villoldo in the mid-1990’s.  The 10th Rite was given later to his wife, Marcela Lobos, and is specifically for women. 

Alberto describes them as gifts from the Q’ero and the other shamanic traditions that he studied.  They are meant to be shared widely and with anyone who wishes to receive them. 

A description of each Rite is listed below.

Why are you offering them?

I first received these Rites during my initial shamanic training with Alberto and the Four Winds Society.  They were given to us to help support us during that process.  I have received the full series of nine Rites on two separate occasions. 

Similarly, I am offering them to support your personal spiritual path.  We are all healers in this community.  Healing work can be challenging even in the best of circumstances.  These are additional tools for you.  They are meant to support you in the healing work that you do, and to deepen your own spiritual journey. 

To be clear, these are not offered as a shamanic training program.  They come from the South American Shamanic tradition and carry that specific flavor with them.  However, they are simply gifts to help you deepen your own spiritual practice, whatever that may be. 

What is different about these Rites compared to the prior workshops?

The other workshops were stand-alone processes.  We learned a specific energetic practice in each one and then moved on to a new one the following month.

These Rites are interconnected.  They build on each other.  These workshops invite you to make a deeper commitment to your spiritual practice. 

What do I do after I receive the Rites?

I would suggest that you set aside time every day for reflection and meditation.  Journaling may help you process and integrate.  Old issues may come up that need to be addressed.

My hope is that these workshops can foster a deeper sense of community amongst our healers. I want to provide a communal space for processing.  

I will be offering a free 1-hour Zoom session about two weeks after each transmission.  These will be on a Thursday evening, and it will be a chance for community members to gather, ask questions about their integration, and share what they are experiencing.

You will get the Zoom link if you attend.

How will the structure of the workshops be different? 

We will begin with the Healer’s Rite on October 10.  We will do a different Rite each month going forward. 

Because these Rites require time after the session to process and integrate, only one transmission will be given each month.

The first four transmissions are considered foundational.  You cannot move forward to the later ones without first completing the initial four.

I understand that it is difficult for everyone to make every session.  I am still contemplating how best to provide these initial four Rites for those who can’t attend every session.

Most likely, I will have time at the beginning of each workshop to “bring people up to speed” and give them one of the Rites they may have missed before we move on to that month’s specific Rite.  These details are a work in progress, and I am open to suggestions.

Different start time for October!

Please Note: For October, we will start at 9:00AM on the 10th, as opposed to our usual 10:00am time.  We will resume our usual 10:00am start time in November. 

Please join me on this exciting new journey.

Thank you,
