Voices of the Ancestors ~ How to Release and Heal Spirits of the Departed
with Roger J Woolger, PhD
April 15 – 17, 2011
Most non-western cultures have rituals and practices to facilitate the safe passage of departing spirits to the other side after death to ensure that they literally don’t hang around the living, draining energy and invisibly influencing us. Celtic wakes for example, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead were both designed for this purpose and to protect the psychic health of the community.
For the most part, however, our culture has few such practices for releasing the dead with the result that many of our energy problems, obsessive issues and persistent complexes often turn out to be old or ancestral spirit energies trying in vain to speak or act through us to resolve unfinished issues not of our, but their making.
In his many years of working in regression therapy and shamanic healing Roger has frequently encountered and removed unwanted and unhappy spirits. Some spirits originally attached to us in childhood, some after a family member’s death. Others have been with us for many lifetimes.
In this workshop Roger will share his findings, then demonstrate simple and safe methods to release ancestral and past life spirits. Roger principles and approaches derive from Jungian, Buddhist and European views of spirit entities and differ in many respects from Spiritualist ways of working with obsessors. He aims to demystify misleading superstitions about “possession”, the demonic and “evil” by showing how all so-called “dark” and vengeful entities all respond to loving and compassionate treatment.

Shakti Rising ~ An Inner Marriage
October 1 – 8, 2010
with Eve Bruce
These are changing times when we are all – men and women – feeling the rise of the feminine shakti, at times overturning the status quo and leaving us floundering to find our center and balance.
In this workshop we will explore the rising feminine energies, looking inward to define and refine the changes that each of us are experiencing as individuals. We will learn to understand and embrace this energetic evolution, finding our balance and productivity, culminating in a ceremonial sacred marriage of these energies within each of us through a ritualized “hieros gamos”.
In ancient times before the patriarchal systems came into play, the feminine energies were understood to be the most powerful that exist in this earthly plane. It was thought that this is due to the fact that the female being has direct connection and experience with the grand forces of nature through her body’s cycles, and of divine creation through giving birth. In this way her connection with the divine is participatory, and her power source direct. The male does not have this built in direct connection, and must find his power through a less than direct connection with the divine by way of acquisition as he goes forward in the world through the “hero’s journey”.
