Escuela de Curanderismo
Dear Relations,
You are invited to the unique and powerful system of healing, known as Curanderismo. If this path is your calling at this time, we welcome you and will support the revelation of your individual strengths, gifts and expression. You will develop the intuitive abilities of the healer and gain the knowledge of thousands of years of human interaction with plants, food and prayer in the traditons of; the Mayans, pre-Inca shamans, Ayurveda and Kundalini yoga. There are ten three-day gatherings in this course. You will be challenged, tested, nurtured and given tools for mental, emotional and spiritual growth.
According to Alberto Villoldo these healing systems can be traced back to the Indus valley. Ayurveda was most likely the source of the wisdom taken across the Bering strait to inform the Inca and Mayan healers. In fact, the Naga Maya tribe still has remnants in India, where they have lived for thousands of years. We are presenting this body of knowledge as a unified whole as it has not been for a very long time. This series will give you knowledge and practice of plant medicine from several traditions and in making your own remedies.

South
There will be four gatherings in the direction of the south. After a brief history of the traditions informing curanderismo, we will practice shamanic journeying, fire ceremony, opening sacred directions, developing intuition, physical exercises and meditations for mental balance, and many other techniques.
You begin to build your Mesa, an altar to your personal healing, which becomes the medicine bundle you will use to work on yourself and with clients. We learn to find balance through the elements and Nature, journey to meet our guides in the etheric realm, practice ancient techniques to see into the luminous energy field, shed the old stories that keep us bound to ordinary reality. We’ll collect knowledge to make our health span equal our lifespan with the wisdom of Ayurveda, physical exercises and Curanderismo. We’ll practice flexibility and cultivating healthy sexual energy.
Clearing the unhealed parts of ourselves that make us vulnerable to the ill will of others, we no longer fall victim to abuses of power in the world. Some of the rituals we’ll learn to accomplish that include the fire ceremony and the recapitulation.
Studying the intestinal tract, we come to understand how it functions as the foundation of our health, what lifestyle, diet, plant medicine, and exercises can bring it into balance. We’ll see how the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine are held within each of us and honor these archetypes to bring balance to ourselves and our world.
We will walk with beauty in the world, learn to create sacred space, and learn to build and care for altars; including the shrine of our own body.

West
Journey over the rainbow bridge and leave the fear of death behind.
These are the practical tools that the shamans of old discovered for living an enlightened life. Genetic and karmic patterns will be identified and cast off. Opinions and emotions will no longer influence us. We will learn to clear homes, spaces and land. We'll study emergency medical situations and how to treat them and make some plant medicine for ourselves. Making our own medical kit we move toward our preparations to serve our community.
Moving the assemblage point will allow us to track or “see” phenomena on the physical, emotional, mythic and energetic levels. We will create more shamanic tools to dispel heavy energy. Leaving behind the habits of the violent warrior, we step into the ethics of the luminous warrior. Strengthening the nervous system we can hold the states of shamanic ecstasy. Our celestial parents await us.

North
“You move onto the North class after clearing your personal and genetic and karmic stores in the South and West classes. In the North, you release the roles that you identify with in this life. You learn to release ego and take your place in a lineage of medicine men and women who live outside of time. You connect to your soul’s calling… the essence of who you are, where you allow yourself to be seen…nothing to hide. Just as a hummingbird makes the seemingly impossible migration from Canada all the way to Brazil, we too can embark on the epic mythic journey when Spirit calls. Although we don’t know where we’re going or how we’ll get there, we will learn how to follow the soul’s guidance to the sweetest nectar to sustain us on our way” Alberto Villoldo. We will study how to heal imbalances of our organs, nervous system, lymph and circulatory.
Practicing the ancient techniques to step outside of time we remember our connection to the stars and the stone circles. We will participate in exercises to come into right relation with our ancestors. Stepping outside of linear time and into sacred time we can heal the past and chart new destinies.
Our prayers for healing the Earth will take the form of a despacho.

East
Spreading our wings like the Eagle and the Condor we soar with the Great Spirit. From a higher perspective we realize our connection to the whole.
You will learn the Great Death Rites and the art of Dying Consciously – being fully aware and awake when we die. By experiencing the elements of the dying process we can help others transcend with grace and dignity. We will approach the Mayan way of opening a portal.
This is a path with heart. Those who complete the apprenticeship will be able to lead Moon Ceremonies, understand the diet that is right for their unique constitution, use food and herbs as medicine, clear houses and businesses of negative energies and entities, perform limpias, understand how to help dying people transition, travel in their etheric body, offer despachos and other techniques to heal the Earth, live in balance and harmony with Nature. Each will heal themselves, some will heal others through Spirit.
The energy exchange varies according to the location. For the apprenticeship in the Mimbres of New Mexico, it is $200 each three-day gathering, if Athena travels to work with your group the fee will have to incorporate travel expenses. Some barters may be available to those coming to the Mimbres.

This is a cumulative and experiential journey so apprentices will not be able to join the classes after the first gathering. The group will determine the dates for each month after. Thunderbird Camp is usually available in a bunkhouse setting for $23 a night. Little Toad Creek 20 minutes away has hotel rooms. One can camp for free on National Forest land 5 minutes from location. Those completing the School in a satisfactory manner will receive a certificate.
