BOOK ROOM & BOARD
Where am I coming from? Where am I going? Learn how to work with the Six Directions of Power or the Six Sacred Directions, while you are surrounded by gorgeous Alpine nature. Experience belonging and community. Step into a bodily feeling of connectedness above, below, and with everything around you,
EAST – the wind from the East comes as a light mood, a vibrancy like a breeze in the morning, or the start of something new. NORTH – the wind from the north comes very direct, bold, simple, and strong. WEST – the wind from the west comes as a wave in the twilight, a feeling of roundness, completion, and joy. SOUTH – the wind from the south comes as a stillness, a possible coming, a silence unknown.

During the Retreat, you will learn a set of Six Long Forms of Energy Passes
THE SIX DIRECTIONS OF POWER – THE TWO AXIS AND THE FOUR WINDS
Each session, learn energy passes that carry the moods of what the shamans of ancient Mexico called winds. Each wind has a quality, a time, a direction. It is a spatial extension of our awareness, as if instead of being isolated, we are “plugged in”, part of. Wind is also awareness in motion, a carrier and a courier; It is like a stream onto which we can hop and ride an emotion, for example, or use as a hook to be present when feeling distracted.
‘The nagual Elias explained to don Juan that sound and the meaning of words were of supreme importance to shamans. Words were used by them as keys to open anything that was closed.” -The Power of Silence
The wind starts with the sound. It’s one of the ways that we experience the wind. We feel it. We sense it. During the Retreat, the latest discoveries and applications from the emerging field of Frequency Medicine will be shared by Dr. Reid, together with audiovisual presentations, practices and discussions. The world of electromagnetic frequencies of sound and light provide an exciting bridge between the worlds of science and energy, where the world of shamans and the world of everyday life merge.

Perhaps the single biggest aspect of my involvement in the lineage of shamans who originated in ancient Mexico, and through my teacher Carlos Castaneda, to whom I was personally attached as a direct apprentice, was the task he gave me to “make a bridge”.
He gave me this singular task the very next day after I met him “Spirit has pointed you out to me to make a bridge between the knowledge of don Juan and medicine”.
As a young doctor that I was at the time, the idea seemed enticing to no end, but at the same time it seemed unfathomable, and it was stored in me, waiting while being honed over time. Now, thirty years later, it is ready, and emerging right in the midst of a true revolution in the world, in what we can understand about reality and perception, through the emerging new science of consciousness and molecular physics.
One of the most exciting areas is the practical use and application of electromagnetic frequencies, biophotomodulation and sound to reorganize and introduce energy in our cellular systems, for function to be boosted. Here is a place where science is a perfect match with what is at the core of the shamans pursuit, the very same energy redeployment as the foundation for everything they did to achieve their feats of perception.
