This group is for people who are seeking to establish deep spiritual friendships both with others, and with themselves. We will commit to co-creating an atmosphere that offers deep listening, unwavering compassion -- and potentially life-altering challenge to the status quo. This ongoing group will explore and practice ways to 1) Access our deepest wisdom, and 2) More completely integrate and embody that wisdom in all aspects of our lives. In this process, we’ll draw respectfully from many s …

Opening To Relationship Gatherings are happening! We'll be exploring many ways in which we humans get ourselves into entanglements (without even knowing how or why) that end up blocking lasting, fulfilling relationships. Get out of your old interrelational rat wheel and come find out how your relationships may be improved. There are key associations, hard-wired into human automatic response systems, associated with relationships of all kinds that raise old familial patterns that often feel impos …

Writing offers a way for people to connect to deeper, wiser aspects of ourselves – a way for us to find out, as the poet Audre Lorde said, “what we didn’t know we knew.” Almost every writer has experienced mysterious moments when the words that flow from our pens, or from our fingers on a keyboard, seem as if they come from someplace else – a place beyond our small human selves. Sometimes, when we let it happen, it’s as if the words become a little boat, a raft on which we can sail in a larger s …

MY INTENTION in creating this group is to, first of all, share and make available this work that I so deeply love, and let interested people know that i am holding workshops on regular basis at the beautiful location of Orr Hot Springs in Ukiah and, sometimes, in the San Francisco Area too. Workshops have been happening every other month. Please, do not hesitate to call me if you have any question or are curious about Holotropic Breathwork. WHAT IS HOLOTROPIC BREATHWORK? Holotropic Breathwork …

The purpose of this group is to spread the word about Holotropic Breathwork groups to a larger number of people, as well as share when the different groups are happening.  With this group I want to provide a space for those curious and new to the work, to experience it for the first time in a supportive and nourishing environment.   As well as those who have practiced it for some time, have a place and a community to come back to. I have found through the years, that this work is a wonderful wa …

Plant spirit healing begins with the awareness that plants have healing gifts to offer us beyond their physical constituents. Shamans, healers and our indigenous ancestors have known this since the beginning of time. When we are in coherence with these plant spirits we are able to receive balance and healing. Moving into this co-creative relationship with nature also us to feel connected to the interconnected web of life and allows earth healing to take place. Join us for a day of awakening this …

Macro-Description ... This group presents an opportunity to experience -- rather than think.A cursory definition of meditation is transcendence beyond the distracted, entropic meanderings of the 'mind' -- and resultant connection to Consciousness / Infinite Connectedness / One-ness. Restatement of the obvious - water represents the fathoms of our spiritual nature. Meditation is supported by the energetic fabric and rhythm of a body of water ... especially one as large and consummate as the Pacif …

Shamanic journeying is an opportunity to meet with one's guides and visit other realms of existence. You may go into a journey with a question, and meet various beings who will often give very good advice and information. This kind of work can be very inspiring and empowering. Perhaps above all, it offers the opportunity to develop an awareness of realities quite different from this one. However, if a participant's belief system won't go there, and she/he credits it all to imagination, it can st …

THE CENTER FOR SHAMANIC HEALING was founded in March 2009 by a circle of Shamanic Healers, Teachers and Practitioners dedicated to bridging Shamanic and Spiritual healing into the 21st century as a living, thriving art. This is a blend of ancient and ancestral wisdom with new direct engagement with spirit. Whether your goal is personal growth or personal healing; understanding your own divinity, joyful attainment of your dreams, or pursuing a path as a shamanic practitioner, our intent is that t …

Throughout the week the SF Free School offers free classes to anyone and everyone who wants to learn, have fun and meet new people. Classes we’ve offered have been in dance, drumming, martial arts, philosophy, dating, meditation, improv, yoga, writing - and many other topics as well. Though the mix of classes and events we hold varies over time, some weeks with many events and others with just a few, much of what we held in the past was out of a yoga and dance studio, and hence, in the past, we’ …

We are group of people who like to travel the world not only as tourists, but as spiritual pilgrims.  Many of us are psychics, seers, astrologers, healers, and some are just plain ol' wanderlusters. We prefer to explore first hand the things within a culture that are beautiful and stimulating to the mind, body and spirit.  We engage both the indigenous cultures and natural beauty of the countries we visit and we always meet local healers and spiritual leaders. Martin Buber said, "All journeys ha …

Chakra Trance Journey is an ancient shamanic and yogic form of Healing, Empowerment, and Meditative Presence. Let your body-wisdom guide you. Disconnect from the internal dialogue, and move naturally into deep movement. Feel directly the powerful energies that reside within your miraculous body. Breathe deep, move free, and BE. This dynamic meditation is completely unique and personal to each individual. We dance with eyes closed and embark upon our own inner journey of transformation. As we d …

We will be meditating at the fire pits of Ocean Beach every Saturday from 6:00pm to 7:30pm(weather permitting). After my return from Iraq as a United States Marine I started meditating with a shaman practitioner, 9 years later I have studied under Buddhist monks and Hindu priests finding great value in each practice. The health benefits, both mentally and physically, have changed my life and continue to be a valid reason why I practice meditation. The evidence in epigenetics suggests that our ge …
