Astraea d’Orée
|
Astraea is a medium, psychic, spirit-based healer, artist, and nomad. She has learned from the teachings of many continents and has received the blessings of many peoples and traditions. The spirits have guided her on a path of radical self-evolution through spiritual rebirth, encounters with darkness, social and cultural isolation, destitution, as well as unbridled luck and success. Through such trials, the power, wisdom, and support of the spiritual world in all its forms has been revealed to her. She has lived in Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and across the United States; she has received high academic degrees and worked in elite institutions and she been homeless and near-death. With such experiences, she has cultivated a gratitude for this world that grants us such lessons that we may all uplift one another beyond the bonds of Earthly life. http://thisgoldenweb.weebly.com/ |
Building Relationships with Spirit:
Being able to work with spirits is at the core of shamanic practice. But just as in our human relationships, building strong and positive relationships with spirits poses many challenges. In this workshop, Astraea will discuss the major dynamics at play in spirit relationships, what they expect of us, and how to fulfill those expectations without venturing into unhealthy patterns. This is an opportunity to evaluate the spirit relationships you currently have and to reflect on how they could be improved.
Shamanic Encounters with Darkness:
The definition of darkness is nebulous and stewed in mythology and fear. Whether it be the personal darkness from which we must be healed, the dark spirits who prey upon us, or the wisdom of the darker side of the natural world, healers must interact with darkness in its various forms in order to provide a holistic and complete healing service. Astraea will provide her interpretation of the many forms that darkness takes and how to handle, work with, or learn from encounters with the dark side. Discussions will be focused on performing light-based and benevolent spiritual healing while maintaining a healthy understanding of these forces. This is an advanced class and not for the faint of heart, but efforts will be made to ensure safety.
