Green Path Medicine ~ A Shamanic Practitioner’s Course

Traditional Healing Techniques of the Andes and Amazon

with Ipupiara Makunaiman, Jenny Clay Toscano and Eve Bruce

September 3 – 10, 2010

We are living in times of great change, times that have been foretold by indigenous peoples for millennia.

It has been said that this will be a time when red, yellow, black and white people will come together again, as they were in the beginning of time, each bringing their unique medicine gift to the coming New Earth of harmony and peace.

Green Path Medicine was created by Ipupiara Makunaiman, an indigenous shaman from the Brazilian Amazon, Jenny Clay Toscano, an indigenous shaman from the Peruvian Andes, and Eve Bruce, a white woman devoted to bringing back the Earth based medicines. Our vision is to use Green Medicine – in healing and in teaching indigenous healing methods so that you can walk this path and heal others. We have been teaching shamanism together for over a dozen years, and our intent is to facilitate each person’s deepening connection to spirit and to Mother Earth, helping you find that inner indigenous person devoted to walking softly on Mother Earth with honor, connecting with all our relations, and walking the Green Path to find your own unique “medicine” or gift that will help the greening of our planet.

Join us in the hills of southwest Ireland for a week of teachings, ceremony, healings and connecting with the elements. Find your root in this richly alive land. Journey to your ancestral guides, and find your medicine, your song to the Earth. Learn techniques for healing from South American tribes of the high Andes and Deep Amazon. These powerful healing techniques can be the bridge over which your spirit can walk to find your unique shamanic practice which you can take with you into the world to heal self and other.

Bernardo Peixoto PhD, affectionately known by his spirit name, Ipupiara, is an anthropologist, environmentalist and teacher. He is also a member of Ure- e-wau- wau tribe of Brazil and cofounder of Native Cultural Alliance, an organization dedicated to the preservation and sharing of native cultures and wisdom. He has worked for many years with the tribal and “riverine” groups in South America. Bernardo and his wife, Jenny, have traveled extensively over the past 10 years offering lectures and workshops in different states.

Jenny Clay Toscano, affectionately known as Claicha, is a teacher, researcher of traditional herbal medicine and conducts fieldwork with the indigenous people of South America. She also assists in the development of environmental programs and trips to the Amazon. She currently serves as the Coordinator of Programs with the Native Cultural Alliance (NCA).

Eve Bruce is Programme Director for Lios Dána Dolphin Spirit Gate.  For the past decade she has dedicated herself to changing the paradigm of our relationship to our Mother Earth, to the Goddess, to our bodies and to each other. She facilitates trips to learn from indigenous elders in South America and Africa. Brought up in Kenya, she holds a special love for the wisdom and energies of the continent from which humanity was born. She has studied with the prophet, artist and holy man Credo Mutwa for five years. As both a plastic surgeon and a shaman, she has a unique perspective and understanding of what our culture and others call beauty, of the workings of our body sacred, and of how we do or do not embody our spirit. Eve has studied with John Perkins and the shamans described in his books Shapeshifting and The World Is As You Dream It, and was the first non-Quechua woman to be inducted into the Circle of Yachaks, or Birdpeople, of the high Andes. Her passion is helping individuals change their dreams by shifting from a focus on external to internal beauty. She teaches people transformational tools to shapeshift themselves, our culture, to have “plastic surgery without the surgery,” to end the “pursuit of happiness,” and to live in ecstasy. Author of “Shaman MD” (Destiny Books),  her new book with Robert Levy, “Shamanism – The Book of Journeys” (O-Books) is due out later this year.
