The core intention of shamanic retreats at the “7 Flechas” center. Now came the time of a conscious realization of a change. We realize that we grew out of old little pants, they bulge at the seams. Our minds stop trying to understand changes. Being aware of a possibility of instant manifestation forces thoughts to be watched. Books are not being read. We open them and close, bored by multiple advising voices – words, words… It becomes hard to find in books the very essence of Knowledge – the energy of personal experience of an author. That is what we are offering: to get to know your new Self, in the new energy through the personal experience. The main thing of our work is to begin to be consciously self-aware. Practically all who comes to our retreats come to find an important answer to one question: who Am I, what is my mission? That is also a new question for many. The little pants are too tight. A spiritual quest of the 80-th and 90-th was somewhat a mix of Knowledge and tradition, newly appeared and the one that came from the ancient times. It was a “soup” made of the best and most important parts of different spiritual, philosophical, and religious traditions with added newly appearing in physical reality elements. The idea of Unity appeared. In Mayan tradition it is said “In la kech… A la kien” – I am you and you are me. We began to remember. Shamans, led by their prophecies, opened up possibilities of touching the ancient knowledge, the spiritual inheritance of ancestors. This is the resurrection, re-birth, just like the reincarnation or stepping down of the gods and goddesses who wanted to mingle with mortals - as you wish. There has already appeared a race of priests and rulers - they are the wonderful soul of ancient shamans who had returned to take part in the last act of this game .High Mayan priest, Don Bartholomew, says: - you are here, because many of you have come from the past to fulfill your main mission even more than modern Maya. And it is so. What makes us, those who have grown up in a different world, in other cultures and traditions, head to the jungle, to the shamanic fires, change our habits, learn traditions of indigenous peoples, take part in ceremonies, ancient rituals and practices? Its that Call that sounds in the Soul, at first soft and unclear, then loud and persistent. We are here on Earth, yet many of us have forgotten who we are. As Richard’s Bach Messiah, people lead the usual normal boring life, go to work, like everyone else, but in reality they are not normal. They sit with you at the same table, make purchases in supermarkets, lie on the beach reading newspapers and magazines... These people learned their lessons and grown in wisdom specifically in order to take all the opportunities they meet. Although they began their journey on the old road, they originate from ancient cultures and long-forgotten traditions, they are now returning to get back under the Tree of Life. And even as the coming storms and chaos would shake the world, these wonderful and wise beings are those in whose hands the ripe fruit would fall. Spirit urges them forward, layer by layer, like an onion peel, lifting the veil of oblivion., They do not seek to occupy any important posts and positions, as in the old days. Most of these people simply agree to fulfill their mission, realizing that there is nothing they would rather do. Staying away from taking a position against anything or anyone is to become functionally invisible. They unravel, one by one, all the threads of the ball of judgments and opinions, begin to see all around as a reflection of themselves - then merge with new energy, light house of grace and joy to the world of the New Earth. Nobility, courage, and the search for adventure - qualities spiritual in nature - are the real motive to the quest. The opportunity and excitement to experience discovery of new lands was sufficient for Christopher Columbus and his expedition to go onto complete unknown - to the discovery of the new world! To live between the cracks of society - means to learn how to hide in todays whirlwind of anxiety, resentment, aggression and separateness. If you have lost yourself in the crowd, if you’re looking for comfort, it often seems that no one except you are looking for tenderness, no one is seeking to escape from this hostile din. Then suddenly, as though an invisible hand reaches out of nowhere and draws you into a place where the Spirit begins to teach you how to look at life from a whole new perspective. In the old days, shamans were called gatekeepers, as they were the closest members of the tribe to the Gate. In a sense, they were like tourist agents, sending people to travel through unseen worlds. And for those who were too timid to make travel, shamans acted as mediums, describing the events that were taking place on the other side. But the shaman is much more than just a gatekeeper. He is this Gate! The souls of the ancient shamans, gradually waking up to the true Selves, feeling lost, experiencing emotional pain, find each other and form a sacred circle. Such people have the attractive quality and magnetism. They are like flaming embers of fire, which are impossible to look away from. But here come the trials. Not all of those, who are attracted to the spirit of adventure, ready to go to the ends of the Earth! And here, you have to be extremely careful. Such people attract creatures in both the physical and the spiritual level, creating in them a desire downright merge with their energy! You understand and feel what Im saying, if youre surrounded by a set of people interested in slicing up a piece of you for themselves. Therefore, we must learn to maintain the sanctity and integrity of the Spiritual Gate. In a case where a person takes working with shamanic energies lightly, if they suddenly became passionately entranced, the result can be quite fatal. One could suddenly become inspired” for discoveries to which he is not ready yet. Pride, mentoring ... To avoid this happening, there is a complex practice and testing. They begin with a vision quest, without which there is no way forward and growing in the Spirit; then the feeling of knowledge comes from personal memory, being woken up by personal experience! We invite you to join us at the center of “7 Flechas” in order to get to know yourself. You may experience with your own skin different shamanic practices and rituals, go through the sacred ceremony, to separate the wheat from the chaff. You may help your Inner Child to hatch from your soul longing to grow and learn, to bring light and knowledge to others, to undertake a mission of the Service. Aho!
