Healing the Soul of Haiti and It's People
A Special Healing Journey
Each 4th Wednesday of the month we offer a Journey Circle with a focus on healing. This month I am responding to a call by the Society For Shamanic Practitioners, of which I am a founding member. Practitioners and circles around the planet are asked to focus their journey intention to assisting in the healing of the Spirits of People and Place in Haiti.
Here is part of the request voiced by Carol Proudfoot-Elder:
In following news from Haiti, I found myself seeking to assess the spiritual needs emerging as well as those for primary assistance in terms of food, water, and shelter. Emergency workers, in their training, are often taught that the first need (for an extended time) is to provide these basic essentials as well as search for people buried in the rubble. Some time later, so goes the thinking, people will then be confronted with the emotional and spiritual consequences, which in themselves can be devastating.
It is my experience, however, that we are called to respond as soon as possible to all aspects of this situation: physical, spiritual and emotional. The deaths of so many can have an even greater among a people who believe that traumatic death can result in troubled, lingering souls if they are not assisted in crossing over. This is certainly the situation in Haiti.
As shamanic practitioners, we have the blessing, and the requirement, to gather ourselves, take whatever time is necessary to align with our Helping Spirits, make prayers, and journey with our Helpers to do as we are guided.
I will provide more specifics about this journey when we gather on Jan. 27th. I do hope you are able to participate, though if not, it would also be useful to take a moment wherever you are at 8:00 pm and join us in spirit.
Please RSVP to ensure your place in the circle. Space is limited!
Feel free to come as early as 7:15. We will begin as usual at 7:30 with a short meditation to drumming and try to end promptly at 9:00.
What to bring with you?
In addition to curiosity and willingness to explore something new, bring a journal or notebook with you to record your journey and insights that you receive. If you have a hand drum, feel free to bring it, but it is not necessary.
