Oregon Form & Formless Transformation Retreat

Ancestral Wisdom to Unlock Your Infinite Potential

This retreat explores the theoretical and experiential groundwork of the shamanic transformation and healing process, drawing intercultural bridges between various indigenous cultures of the world. With the support of indigenous Dreamwork perspectives, Jungian transpersonal and Buddhist psychologies, Primordial Breathwork and sacred geometry, we start remembering the universal language of evolutionary healing expressed throughout the world’s ancient cultural wisdom. While the wisdom of all ancestral traditions is sacred, in this retreat we focus mainly on Amazonian, Andean, and Tibetan living wisdom lineages with the support of several Chinese and Hindu practices which the facilitators have studied and benefited from personally.

In this retreat we focus on grounding into these indigenous wisdom traditions with the foundational daily practices that consciously bring balance and stability to each of our hero’s journeys towards the freedom of unlimited potential. Cultivating living wisdom through skillful means of ancestral practices, intentional engagement of heart presence, music/song circles, healthy nourishment and body movement allows for steady steps in the here and now to dream awake the evolutionary purpose of every moment.

Practices:

The practices in this retreat were shared with Roman Hanis and Cynthia Robinson directly by the elder holders of the ancient lineages from the Amazonian tribes of Ashuar, Whitoto and Yahua, Andean Incan descendants, Q’ero and Quechua people as well as Tibetan Lamas from the traditions of Karma Kagyu, Bonpo Dzogchen, Nyingma and Gelugpa and have been practiced in this format since 2001. The practices you’ll learn in this retreat are transmitted as distinct “Waves”, each uniquely complementing the ancestral principle of reciprocity and synergy of life. They’re progressive stages of maturation in the individual’s river of consciousness as we remove all blockages that cause separation from the limitless ocean of divine intelligence. These practices include:

Wave of Remembering: Through remembering, we learn how to release tensions and emotional charges in the form of fears, inhibitions, repressed emotions and traumas from the past, while simultaneously awakening the unconditional primordial essence as a cause for timeless well-being.

Wave of Dreaming: With the help of Jungian transpersonal psychology, indigenous dreaming 
perspectives, and sacred geometry, we can remember the universal language of evolutionary healing.

Wave of Wind Breath: Each day we will embark on an experiential journey through a cathartic Breathwork practice that blends Amazonian and Tibetan traditions. This practice is a deeply meditative, heart-activating and potentially cathartic experience that revives the cellular memory of the whole organism. Breathwork sessions are accompanied by ceremonial cacao.

Wave of Process-Oriented Symptomatic Dance: This shamanic healing modality intuitively follows the organism’s symptoms to their origin of the dreaming language and supports us to disentangle the knots of conditioning at their root.
