A Portal, From the Past Into the Future
Experience alignment and multidimensionality.
At the juncture between the new physics and the cognitive world of the shamans of ancient Mexico, alignment is the force behind everything we perceive and experience.
Perception is a condition of alignment. Something here is in alignment with something there, and thus, in relationship to it. When two things align, they easily relate to one another. Information travels between them, so alignment is what allows awareness to be cultivated. A cell receptor site binds to a peptide, like a key and a lock that fit perfectly; that is also a form of alignment, as are the magnetic fields of human hearts when they are in proximity, as they enter into coherence states.
In the shamanism of don Juan Matus and the shamans of ancient Mexico, a warrior-traveler goes towards knowledge in awareness and in alignment with everything around: the four directions out in the world and the vertical axis above and below.
Come to experience how to master the awareness of six alignments, six references, each a distinct perceptual world, to guide you on how to navigate your life.
On Saturday afternoon, during the workshop, join participants from different countries to practice together live with the Global Practice broadcasting from the workshop!
Be guided through the details and nuances of this unique tradition by Dr. Miles Reid, one of the principal original teachers trained directly by Carlos Castaneda, and featured in his book on the subject, Magical Passes.
The workshop is for everybody who participates in the energy passes online world practices, a yearly live gathering to meet each other in person, network, share an amazing time, and get connected.
If you have not yet participated in the online practices, this is a great opportunity to introduce yourself to the energy passes of Carlos Castaneda, to ancient and modern practices of shamanism, and their bridge to modern life, medicine and science.
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, confident, 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.
