Initiation rituals and ceremonies have been a part of the human story for thousands of years. Our ancestors developed and implemented powerful rituals to prepare people for adulthood so that they can adequately navigate the challenges of life and discover their calling and place in the world.
Initiation has also been a way for people to gain access to esoteric knowledge systems designed for those entering paths of devotion and service to spirit. With initiations into higher knowledge and wisdom, these individuals served as priests/priestesses, prophets, shamans, and oracles, guiding their tribes and communities toward a path of alignment and balance.
In today's complex world, initiation into higher wisdom can be the answer to our collective healing and change.
During the two-day retreat, Helena will assist participants initiate to the energy of their ancestors and soul. The connection to ancestral wisdom is critical to solve the major global issues and to be able to transition to the next level of our evolution. Soul initiation is necessary in order to be whole in our body, mind, and spirit. By utilizing the technology of indigenous and traditional ways of being in the world, participants will gain tools for how to thrive in connection to self, others, and divine energies.
