Alchemy, akin to shamanism and yoga, is the ancient art and science of elemental transformation - at physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. Divination is a structured inquiry to access inner knowledge of the past, for healing and problem solving; and of the future, for visioning and guidance.
As part of the sacred sound experience of this workshop, we explore Indigenous shamanic traditions that use rhythms to induce altered state trance journeys, and 'spirit songs' for healing, as in Amazonian medicine ceremonies, and Yogic traditions that use mantras or sacred seed syllables (like OM) to bring about one-pointed concentration and deep inner states of absorption.

Six Life-Paths of the Human Soul
Workshop with Ralph Metzner and Monika Wikman
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Each of us, as a human soul, incarnates by choice with a purpose or
vision for this life. The soul chooses one or more of six great
archetypal paths or fields of action in society in which to express its
qualities and realize its vision: the Healer/Peacemaker, the
Explorer/Scientist, the Warrior/Guardian, the Artist/Visionary, the
Teacher/Communicator, and the Builder/Organizer. These are all variants
of the basic life-path of service to others and to the Earth, and they
are correlated with and symbolized by the planetary archetypes of
astrology.
In this workshop, participants will first learn how to identify their
major life-paths, and the challenges and opportunities associated with
them. We will then look at how that relates to the patterns of
planetary archetypes in one's natal horoscope and in major life
transitions. And finally, we will practice alchemical divination
meditation to gain a deeper insight into our soul's vision for this
life and how to realize it.http://metzneralchemicaldivination.org/calendar_events.html

IONS Shift in Action Program
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The book Living Deeply: The Art and Science of Transformation
in Everyday Life, which has been hailed by Deepak
Chopra as a "brilliant synthesis of science and wisdom,"
is now available for a single $1 as part of a trial month of the Institute
of Noetic Sciences' Shift in Action program.
Living Deeply takes the deepest insights of 60 of today's
most respected spiritual teachers and distills them down to their essence.
Ten years of research with leaders such as Adyashanti, Sylvia
Boorstein, Andrew Cohen, Rachel Naomi Remen, Michael
Murphy, Ralph Metzner, and others all turned into practical insight to help you transform. I deeply respect IONS' work at the frontiers of science, spirituality
and societal change, and decided to participate in their campaign to bring
exposure to this book and their membership program Shift in Action. Find
