Spring Fire Ceremony (Mar '09) Spring Fire Ceremony Let the fire transform your offerings and prayers into light, and turn them over to spirit. Invite fire to be your teacher, let go of what no longer serves you, and step into timelessness. In the two-week period following the fire ceremony, watch for opportunities to translate your intention for healing into reality, and to manifest a new dream. Please bring an offering – a small burnable item (e.g., a stick or leaf) to represent your prayers, something to be honored before letting it go. Please contact us if you would like to attend so we can plan, and to get directions. Cost: Free. 
Munay-Ki Workshop Join us for an intimate, two-weekend gathering to explore and receive the nine Munay-Ki initiation rites that rapidly accelerate personal and global healing. During these gatherings you will learn more about the Munay-Ki rites, as well as the principles and core practices that support them. You will be invited to receive the rites in seed form, learn how to nourish and grow these seeds over time, and if you wish, share them with others. The Munay-Ki rites prepare us for the time to come. They anchor each of the critical junctures in the process of breaking out of linear time and consciously co-participating in the matrix of life. They help us embark on the journey of transformation and perceptual shifts, learn to walk in grace, and live our purpose fearlessly. Many wisdom keepers speak of these next few years as a tremendous opportunity for unprecedented change and a quantum leap in human evolution. The Munay-Ki empower you to take part in this evolution by letting go of the collective nightmare and taking up residence in a spirit community committed to dreaming the new world into being. Become a person of wisdom and power, who has accepted the stewardship for all creation. This is an extraordinary opportunity to receive an energetic transmission connecting you directly to a healing lineage dating back thousands of years. See our page on the Munay-Ki for more information about the rites. Cost: $300 total for both weekends, food and lodging not included.
Traditional Andean Despacho Ceremony Visually beautiful and energetically powerful, a despacho ceremony is a symbolic expression of prayer and intention. The despacho tradition comes from the high Andes. Peruvian Q’ero medicine men and women have performed despachos for generations, as an act of love, offering, and prayer for ayni, or right relationship based on deep reciprocity. In the Andean tradition, gratitude has the capacity to shape the nature of our reality; their medicine people extend gratitude and thanks for all that they have before it has manifested in the material world. The ceremony takes about 2 hours. It is highly participatory, where everyone is invited to blow their prayers into seeds, leaves, flowers, grains, sweets, and other items, and then lay them out in a decorative arrangement. Each element of the prayer bundle is imbued with intent, honoring and giving back to the spirits of the land, our spirit guides, and the essential unity of the cosmos. After wrapping the offering in a ceremonial cloth, all present are invited for deep energetic cleansing. Please contact Open Secret Bookstore directly at 415-457-4191 to register. Suggested donation: $15 to cover the cost of materials.
New Year’s Despacho Ceremony on Mt. Tam Situated specifically at a nexus between the bay and the summit, between the ancient trees of Muir Woods and contemporary urbanization, and between the two years, our ceremony will extend gratitude to spirit in the exquisite tradition of the Andean despacho. We will also set an intention for 2009 to be in ayni, the right relationship and deep reciprocity, with this planet we live on. We'll meet at the "Four Corners" intersection on Mt Tamalpais along Panoramic Hwy at 1pm. After a short walk (50 yards) up a hill to the ceremony site, we open sacred space and begin our despacho. Light refreshments will be available at our home after the ceremony. Please contact us to get directions to the meeting point. Cost: Donations to cover materials are gratefully accepted
Pre-Holiday Open House You will also have an opportunity to check out Eva’s trunk show of her new jewelry designs. After a few years of designing jewelry on and off, she has finally decided to let the creative stream carry her, and will have her first open studio during this time. Whether you are looking for a last minute gift or not, come by, say hello and visit. We look forward to seeing you. Please contact us to let us know you are coming.
Panda Teachings: Journeys
in Perspective™ Together, we will set ourselves free of our imaginal limitations, add fluidity and range in our points of view, develop nimbleness of perspective to manifest our dreams, and lay the groundwork for a truly co-creative relationship with the universe. We will explore polarities, potentionality, and how we move through our biases, our opinions and even our discernments toward a more compassionate and holistic life. We will ask how we can live an amazing life even if we can't imagine what that life would look like. We will learn to find our vision, and explore letting it guide us with joy and integrity on our very own epic journey. During the workshop we will use a variety of approaches that include meditation, sand paintings, sacred art, and fire ceremony. We will learn hands-on about creating sacred space, and using ceremony and ritual. We will discuss the compatibility of the seemingly incompatible, blend spirituality and science, explore dreams, and experience our inner guidance on a vision journey. About Panda Teachings Series Mann Partners' Panda Teachings™ embrace the perspective embodied in their namesake bear of black and white, not one or the other, but both in the same whole. It is a perspective of Integration of Opposites™, which in a world of seeming polarities brings together the dualities of feminine and masculine, yin and yang, spirituality and science, transpersonal shamanic experience and western rational mind. The Panda Teachings free us of our preconceptions about who we are and open us to who we are becoming.
