December Healing Retreat: Dec 9–12, 2021

Three Days of Huichol Traditional Healings in Nature

Life’s changes can take a toll on the most resilient person. Transitions are messengers asking for our attention and care — loss of a loved one, a child moving away, retiring, illness, aging and relationships ending, just to mention a few. Imagine sequestering yourself in a sacred place in the deep tranquility of winter to ask and be open to receiving the gifts of spiritual healing. In this simple  but powerful way you can recharge and reinspire your life with much needed transformation.

Program

Your stay at this three day Residential Healing Retreat includes daily private sessions of Traditional Huichol Healings, time for contemplation and reflection, gathering with social distancing around the fire, and many opportunities to connect with the natural world. A teaching Fire ceremony is offered to participants on the second evening.

What are Traditional Huichol Healings?

Eliot Cowan as a Tsaurirrikame brings the ancient medicine of the Huichol People Homelands and makes it available for you at the sacred land of Blue Deer Center.

Before your arrival to your healing session he will have consecrated a fire. He will have fasted, sung and prayed to the gods that his medicine might benefit you. When you join him, the two of you will have conversations about your dreams, as well as your health, relationships and life conditions. Eliot might offer you counsel. He might reach into his bag and bring out waters, stones, and feathered wands charged with divine blessings.

Experiences during these treatments

  • You might feel you are part of the natural world once more.
  • You might discover meaning and purpose in your life.
  • Maybe stored-up grief or anger or heartache surges up and out of you.
  • Maybe you rediscover your love for your family or partner.
  • The illness or conflict you brought with you may be lightened or lessened.

The natural world has been helping people for thousands of years, and its help is needed now more than ever.

Healing Camp: Oct 1–6, 2021

Five Days of Huichol Traditional Healings in Nature

From time to time it is urgent to take a break and restore our spiritual connection and well-being. 

Healing Camp is a time to fully unplug for five days in nature and receive traditional medicine. Offered only at Blue Deer, it is a residential program where you benefit from the extraordinary power of a sacred place and ancient spiritual healing. Together, this is a potent antidote to the soul grinding of our daily lives.

Come and immerse yourself in nature for a week of ceremony. Healing Camp is a program that will bring deep transformational growth into your life.

The natural world sustains itself with balanced relationships, and it can also restore balance, healing and sustainability in human life.

Advanced Totem: Oct 17, 2021

Re-energize your relationship with your totem animals

Re-energize your relationship with your totem animals with Eliot’s expert spiritual guidance and counsel.

You have been living with your totems for some time now, and you might be looking for ways to deepen your relationships with them. Maybe you are interested in finding out how to receive more help from them. Do you have questions about the role of totems in your life?

Or maybe you simply want to join with others who have taken Living with Totem part 1 and re-immerse yourself in the beautiful mysterious energy of life with Totem.

Program

This is a rare and new opportunity that Eliot is making available for his students. You will have four hours of teaching and learning in an intimate setting.

Experiences you can expect during this program:

  • Ask questions that you always wanted to know about your Totems
  • Deepen your relationship with your Totems
  • Be in community and learning from each other
  • Receive individual guidance on how to get more help from your Totems

Give your attention to this important relationship. Join us!

Working with the totems has opened the hidden fears/stuckness/lack of connection inside of me that I was unable to access or work with alone.
