NEW YEAR'S EVE FIRE CEREMONY with Native American spiritual emissary

In this union with timeless wisdom,
you evoke change that can have profound effects on your life.

So what might happen in your life if you began really listening to the voice of your soul that is whispered on the wind, radiating from the stars, reflected to you in inner responses to people in your life, expressed in body language such as gut tightening or heart opening, or in the dream of the eagle pecking on your head calling you to go fly and get the bigger picture of who you really are and of your vast potent-reality?

Choose to evoke change and movement, to create a new mythology, as you free limiting patterns and emotional-energetic stuck places with loving kindness to yourself. Reclaim fragmented parts of your soul, practice deep communion with shape shifting and vision quest practice. Rebalance with Medicine Wheel Ceremony and shamanic healing. As we work through our resistances, a new alchemy emerges. More vital essence, courage and vision is expressed in you.

You experience connection to your heart, to each other. You see reflected back to you, your own beauty. You gain real compassion for yourself as we gently share our pain and joys. We directly learn of the cycle of life, death and renewal. In the releasing, more of our soul essence comes to live in our body. You can be a luminous mirror to others right here and now in your everyday life. And in every moment act in integrity with the best that you are at this moment and with great loving kindness know that you can make even better choices next time. With each heart-centered moment of awareness, you open doors that opens more doors to a vastness you only guessed at before.

We develop lucid dream skills as a source of soul knowledge and energetic rebalancing. Universal earth medicine, east-west emotional healing ways, dream awareness, tracking-reclaiming energies, releasing that which no longer serves, meditation are also tools we use.

These group retreats offer an intense setting for personal shifts. Available energies are magnified within the shared focus. You have opportunities for learning from each other's experiences, for integrating the experiences with your dreams, meditation insights and feelings that come up over the course of the 4 days. We encourage you to develop awareness practices to carry back into the rest of your life. Resource booklet, reading list included.

Sandra and retreat group at Cathedral Rock vortex site             This is the Hopi Soyal Kachina who comes at Winter Solstice to open the ceremonial season of the year.

"Creator gifted me with the ability to hold space for people, to see and reflect back their soul's gifts in an honoring, supportive way. I resonate with the energies of this land and the Holy Ones who are her spiritual overseers. We create a powerful, yet safe and sacred space for you to connect with these energies, with your own Light. But your own willingness to be in loving communion with all that you are without judgment gives wings to your journey! Each of us has the innate ability to obtain guidance direct from Source for our own healing and vision.  Sometimes we just need someone to reflect back our light, to give us new tools, to nudge us, give us a new insight when we are up against a stuck place, to encourage and support and support us to go through the doorway of our deepest fears. I can journey into the spirit world and find fragmented parts of your soul and negotiate with them to come back to you--but it is far more empowering and effective for you to do this for yourself.   I have created an integrated program that helps you open the pathways to your own soul's knowing based on years of experience with shamanism and east-west practices for meditation, emotional release, stalking where you are leaking out your energy, becoming more alive and Present right here and now.  We also work with the power of  prayer, intention and ceremony to create positive change." Sandra Cosentino   Core elements of the Retreat: Vortex Tour Explore Sedona's special sites and learn access points for your free time nature communion practice.

words of past participants:

"I am back at work with new energy. Being in Sedona helped me to connect to the earth and to who I am, even more . I have been doing more of connecting to people and talking to my patients then ever before. Thank you for your presence, for the shamanic journeys, and showing us around. I loved the new year's ceremony."
Dr. Iwona Szpiech, M.S., D.C., San Diego, CA, 2005

I "I enjoyed meeting all of you and know that the work I did there will benefit me for the rest of my life. People have remarked that my energy has changed and that I am more open around my chest. " Phil G, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 2005.

"It is very hard to tell you what influence you have had on me. There was been a real sense of healing from you and Sedona.  You are truly a healer, and since this path is new to me, I can only trust feelings, not having too much experience. You have a real gift, and your presence has been felt very deeply." Dot R., California

"When I returned home I thought all would go back to the way it was but it did not. Something had changed especially in regard to me moving through my fears. The experience I had with you was very challenging, you pushed me though boundaries and supported me but not in the way I was accustomed to.
The experience of Sedona was very powerful and I want to thank you for being a very powerful facilitator." Linda, Melbourne, Austrailia

"My life has been altered with the tools you've shared.  Thank you for sharing your spirit and love--it has made all the difference." Sandy, Calgary, Canada

Pertinent Wisdom: “Each of us is put here in this time and this place to personally decide the future of humankind. Did you think the Creator would create unnecessary people in a time of such terrible danger? My Grandmother once told me to understand that every person can have a good heart, a heart big enough to change the world! She said the Great spirit wouldn’t give us something we couldn’t handle! Know that you yourself are essential to this World. Believe that! Understand both the blessing and the burden of that. You yourself are desperately needed to save the soul of this world. Did you think you were put here for something less?“ from White Buffalo Teachings by Chief Arvol Looking Horse.   "Being-energy is soft and yielding and yet infinitely more powerful than mind. The mind runs our civilization, whereas Being is in charge of all life on our planet and beyond."   "A group of people coming together in a state of presence generates a collective energy field of great intensity. It not only raises the degree of presence of each member of the group but also helps to free the collective human consciousness from its current state of mind dominance." Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now The magnetism of the earth in places like Sedona becomes embedded in your DNA...the sun, the earth and the power of hearts joined within the circle increases the ability of your DNA to hold more spin, this implosion allows your heart waves to multiply, move outward and has the power to create stars...this is the evolution of consciousness. concepts from Grail Science of the Loving Heart, Sacred Geometry by physicist Dan Winter Healing Dreams are soul force, truth medicine. Such dreams disturb us because of their utter refusal to pander to our fondest notions of ourselves. They often require us to live our questions rather than furnish instant answers. But even a purely exhilerating dream stirs a different sort of unease--That we may harbor an unrealized greatness, a potential that, if we dared fulfill it, would bring an end to ordinary life. In the end, the task of an examined life--the task Healing Dreams set vividly before us--is ours alone to reject or embrace; which way we choose makes all the difference in the world." from Healing Dreams by Marc Ian Barasch
